Across The Stars

Arguably one of the greatest love songs of all time. I think a lot of songs in the mainstream can lack a depth of feeling that is so easily expressed in "Across The Stars", without using any words. For me, as soon as I listen to this song, I feel all gushy inside and am taken to a fantasy-land where I am filled with love in a far away place somewhere. I mean, really, here I am trying to use my words to capture the beauty that exists in this song, sure I'm a poet, but I really don't think words are appropriate here. I think Rumi has gotten close to what I'm trying to say here, when he says, "Only from the heart can you touch the sky". Just listen.

And here we have a piano version...
