Se formos ver videoclips de músicas sobre este tipo de amores… as caixas de comentários são absolutamente extraordinárias. É uma maravilha! Um dia, as pessoas que nos estão a ouvir, que estejam em baixo ou descrentes na natureza humana e descrentes no amor, vão às caixas de comentários do “Dance me to the end of love”, do Leonard Cohen, por exemplo. E deliciem-se. Porque as confissões que as pessoas fazem lá e o que mostram da sua vida em casal é fabuloso.
Afonso Reis Cabral, no podcast “A beleza das pequenas coisas”
My husband proposed to me with this song playing, Andy died in his sleep January 13, 2019 aged 50. This was is always our song! R.I.P. to the love of my life who did Dance Me To The End Of Love!
Wow, what a song. Who doesn’t want to dance to the end of love. I married my husband in four days, we went out on a Tuesday and married on Saturday that week-end. We are still aging together (81 and 76) and I feel like we have danced to the end of love. And since passion turned into love and now love has become stronger, I’m caring for him since he can no longer walk. We’ll get there, to the end of love. We have been married for 49 years. It’s hasn’t been easy but it was worth it. This song runs through the story of our lives.
Two weeks ago my 97 year old father-in-law passed away in his bed as my husband and i were visiting him and my mother-in-law, who was in the bed next to his. She passed away 11 hours later at the age of 93. This was their favorite song in their last years. We played it as my mother-in-law’s casket was lowered and placed on top of her husband’s. Thank you Leonard.
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic ’til I’m gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh, let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We’re both of us beneath our love, we’re both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I’m gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
