The World Through My Eyes

Ave Maria (Salutatio Angelica) is traditional Catholic and Orthodox church prayercalling for the intercession of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Rooted mainly in Biblical texts, the Ave Maria developed in the Middle Ages; in this context, Mary is known as the Blessed Virgin. The prayer is also used by other denominations in the Catholic tradition, notably Anglo-Catholic members of the Anglican Communion. In the Eastern Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches, it is known as the “Angelic Salutation” as well as being called the Hail Mary.

Ave Maria Schubert’s song lyrics

Ave Maria by Schubert was originally titled “Ellens dritter Gesang” (Ellen’s third song). The confusion over the title probably arose due to the opening verse of the song:
Ave Maria! Maiden mild!
Listen to a maiden’s prayer!….
The words to Ave Maria song were taken from Sir Walter Scott’s poem The Lady of the Lake and Adam Storck wrote the German translation Schubert used. The person responsible for setting the Ave Maria lyrics in Latin remains a mystery to this day.

Walter Scott’s Original
from “The Lady of the Lake”

Ave Maria! maiden mild!
Listen to a maiden’s prayer!
Thou canst hear though from the wild,
Thou canst save amid despair.
Safe may we sleep beneath thy care,
Though banish’d, outcast and reviled -
Maiden! hear a maiden’s prayer;
Mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave Maria!

Ave Maria! undefiled!
The flinty couch we now must share
Shall seem this down of eider piled,
If thy protection hover there.
The murky cavern’s heavy air
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled;
Then, Maiden! hear a maiden’s prayer;
Mother, list a suppliant child!
Ave Maria!

Ave Maria! stainless styled!
Foul demons of the earth and air,
From this their wonted haunt exiled,
Shall flee before thy presence fair.
We bow us to our lot of care,
Beneath thy guidance reconciled;
Hear for a maid a maiden’s prayer,
And for a father hear a child!
Ave Maria!

Place your mind before the mirror of eternity!
Place your soul in the brilliance of glory!
Place your heart in the figure of the divine substance!
And transform your whole being into the image of the Godhead Itself
     through contemplation!
So that you too may feel what His friends feel
     as they taste the hidden sweetness
     which God Himself has reserved
     from the beginning
     for those who love Him.

—Clare of Assisi

“Love Story” Genuine real life love story of a journey through time as he gave his all. Entirely filmed, produced, and directed by the person you see and him alone over the course of nine months.

Just a note: From what I know she has seen this though I haven’t heard from her so I only hope she is happy and living her dreams.

In this video I was only fighting for what I believe in my heart, though there are so many people out there who are valiantly fighting for their lives and they need our help. So if you enjoyed this presentation please consider visiting either of these two sites to show your support for a great cause:

Thank You.

Special Note:

I believe the person I made this video for is living somewhere with her family and I truly hope they are all happy and doing well. I made this video to present on youtube because it was the only way I felt I could reach out to her to let her know how I still feel.

Everyone should fully respect her privacy and wishes because I don’t know how she views me now after all this time. We were together for two years and I don’t know why for certain she was gone. I sincerely only want her to be happy even if that means me being out of her life. She is an awesome person who deserves the very best and I just hope she is able to see this.

And on a personal note. The link below is the Incredible, deeply powerful, and moving new Love Song that was a part of my inspiration during the making of my film.

Thank you all so very much.

Most Sincerely,

‘For this work that I envisage, I want human beings who are rich in their heart and soul. We should not be content with talking about love, peace and brotherhood. We must live them by learning to meet and exchange in places where society’s values are not so important. Come and support my work, give your energies to it, be examples of the fraternal spirit. You claim to love your country, but what are you doing so that everyone may live a fraternal life there? You do not know yet how contagious your example could become.’

I wish you out of the woods
And into a picture with me
I wish you over the moon
Come out of the question and be

If this is gonna run ‘round in my head
I might as well be dreaming
Run ‘round in my head

Time out of mind must be heavenly
It’s all enchanted and wild
Just like my heart said it was gonna be

If this is gonna run ‘round in my head
I might as well be dreaming
Run ‘round in my head

I wish you out of the woods
And into the picture with me
I wish you over the moon
Come out of the question and be

If this is gonna run ‘round in my head
I might as well be dreaming
Run ‘round in my head

If this is gonna run ‘round in my head
I might as well be dreaming
Run ‘round in my head
I might as well be dreaming
Run ‘round in my head
I might as well be dreaming
Run ‘round in my head

If this is gonna run ‘round in my head
I might as well be dreaming
Run ‘round in my head

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand?
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?

I believe it’s meant to be, darling
I watch when you are sleeping, you belong to me
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame?

Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely, and then you come and ease the pain
I don’t want to lose this feeling


Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely, and then you come and ease the pain
I don’t want to lose this feeling

Close your eyes and give me your hand
Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand?
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame?

Is this burning an eternal flame?

An eternal flame?

Close your eyes and give me your hand
Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand?
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame?

You’re my everything
The sun that shines above you
Makes the bluebirds sing
The stars that twinkle way up in the sky
Tell me I’m in love
When I kiss your lips
I feel the rolling thunder to my finger tips
And all the while my head is in a spin
Deep within, I’m in love
You’re my everything
And nothing really matters but the love you bring
You’re my everything
To see you in the morning with those big brown eyes
You’re my everything
Forever and a day I’m need you close to me
You’re my everything
You never have to worry, never fear, for I am near
For my everything
I live up on the land and see the sky above
I swim within her ocean sweet and warm
There’s no storm, my love
You’re my everything no nothing really matters
But the love you bring
You’re my everything
To see you in the morning with those big brown eyes,
You’re my everything
Forever and a day I’m need you close to near
You’re my everything
You never have to worry, never fear, for I am near
When I hold you tight
There’s nothing that can harm you in the lonely night
I’ll come to you and keep you save and warm
Yet so strong, my love
When I kiss you lips
I feel the rolling thunder to my fingertips
And all the while my head is in a spin
Deep within
I’m in love

À la claire fontaine
M’en allant promener
J’ai trouvé l’eau si belle
Que je m’y suis baigné

Il y a longtemps que je t’aime
Jamais je ne t’oublierai


Sous les feuilles de chêne
Je me suis fait sécher
Sur la plus haute branche
Le rossignol chantait

Il y a longtemps que je t’aime
Jamais je ne t’oublierai


Chante, rossignol, chante
Toi qui as le coeur gai
Tu as le coeur à rire
Moi je l’ai à pleurer

Il y a longtemps que je t’aime
Jamais je ne t’oublierai


C’est pour mon ami Pierre
Qui ne veut plus m’aimer
Pour un bouton de rose
Que je lui refusai

Il y a longtemps que je t’aime
Jamais je ne t’oublierai

J’ai perdu mon ami
Sans l’avoir mérité
Pour un bouquet de roses
Que je lui refusai

Il y a longtemps que je t’aime
Jamais je ne t’oublierai

Ever Ever After

Storybook endings, fairy tales coming true
Deep down inside we want to believe they still do
In our secretest heart, it’s our favourite part of the story
Let’s just admit we all want to make it too

Ever ever after
If we just don’t get it our own way
Ever ever after
It may only be a wish away

Start a new fashion, wear your heart on your sleeve
Sometimes you reach what’s real just by making believe
Unafraid, unashamed
There is joy to be claimed in this world
You even might wind up being glad to be you

Ever ever after
Though the world will tell you it’s not smart

Ever ever after
The world can be yours if you let your heart
Believe in ever after

No wonder your heart feels it’s flying
Your head feels it’s spinning
Each happy ending’s a brand new beginning
Let yourself be enchanted, you just might break through

To ever ever after
Forever could even start today
Ever ever after
Maybe it’s just one wish away
Your ever ever after

(I’ve been dreaming of a true love’s kiss)

Oh, for ever ever after
