If I could pick only one Sharat, this song would be my favorite one of all. Yes, it is very romantic and I can play it over and over and never tire. Thank you for this post,
I really like the newer version of If I Could Tell You on the Yanni Live CD. It is one of those songs that wrap around you and pull you into a sweet seduction of romance. It is soothing, relaxing, and gentle. I also feel it holds much mystery, and a touch of saddness. Yanni said that he basically speaks through his music. I wonder what he would tell, If I Could Tell You? Thank you Yanni for this awesome and mysterious piece of music!
Although I liked the original version of IICTY, I am absolutely in love with the newer version, more than before; in fact, I deliberately played it first this morning, right after "Adagio in C Minor", which always comes first for me. IICTY now makes me almost cry, as it is so beautiful, & yes, it totally tugs at the heart. Beautiful.
Only because I happen to know the answer...the lady in the "Reflections of Passion" video is an actress.
Maybe it's like if he's telling us:If I could talk about my memories and personal stories..If I could share it with you... Music is such a beautiful language.
This is one of my favorties so far. I think he is saying "If I could tell you, this is what I would say" and he says it in the song. But you don't know what he is saying because it comes from him. But the song makes you say what YOU want to say, if you could tell someone. I like that twist.
