It’s true, it’s true! A lady in the village took pity on us. Rice Pudding! Don’t torture me with your fibs! You know how I love rice pudding! I can’t remember the last time we had anything but rough old bread. Your song makes me feel all the more hungry. Oh Gretel, I wish I had something to eat. Shush Hansel, think about what Father says when Mother Oh yes, I need to eat something pretty fast If only our mother would come home at last.
Then I won’t be bitten by fleas a-ny more. I could sell my bed and sleep on the straw. Has-n’t got the lea-ther that he needs to use. The cob-bler who made them can’t make any more, The geese are running barefoot and they can’t find their shoes! Suzie pretty Suzie, what’s that in the straw? As they worked, Gretel sang a simple song. Both were hungry, but they tried not to think about their empty stomachs. Gretel was patching up the holes in some old socks. Hansel was making a broom for their father to sell. Long ago, in a cottage on the edge of a dark wood, two children were busy doing boring jobs. More pictures for Hansel and Gretel will be coming very soon. The original pictures for Stornory are by CaiJia Eng who illustrates Katie the Witch for us. The original story was of course written by the Brothers Grimm one of our first story productions. Storynory would like to thank Lewis Reynolds for allowing us to use his translation of the words for the songs.ĭialogue by Bertie drawing freely from the verse translation of Constance Bache for the witch's speeches. Original libretto by Adelheid Wette (Humperdinck's sister). Additional instruments (flute, oboe, ukulele) by Nikki Davison. Music by Englebert Humperdinck, played arranged and produced for Storynory by Joe Davison of Auburn Jam. But make no mistake, the singing is real opera - be prepared to be thrilled and amazed. We have adapted Humperdinck's opera to bring you the most charming and catchy tunes, with spoken narration and acting in between. Or course, if you know the story, you will realise that the section with the witch is spooky enough to listen to at Halloween too. The celebration of sweets and food makes a seasonal delight. The opera of Hansel and Gretel by the German composer, Englebert Humperdinck (1854 -1921) is traditionally performed at Christmas. Our production of Hansel and Gretel is specially crafted for children but anyone who loves music will enjoy it. Is definitely the most powerful lyrics in this song saying he will not give up on god and knows god will not give up on him.This Christmas (2012), our extra special production brings you a delightful introduction to opera. Although he feels committing suicide from cutting is the best way, he still feels like he's due for a miracle. Maybe because he's striving for attention from the almighty.
He cuts himself and breaks mirrors out of frustration. He's aware he has "missed" or failed at making god happy 24/7, but still doesn't think he deserves to feel so empty. He might not be the perfect christian, perhaps lying here and there, missing church, but he's implying he hasn't done too much to deserve to feel suicidal. Here I believe he's talking about his sins. Pretty self explanatory and extremely true!
It could be to end his life or give up on seeking god. His heart says follow god, but his mind says something different, not quite sure. He still does not see his purpose in life.(no perfect plan unfurls) (if you've seen the music video, this could be why all the pages are falling everywhere around dustin's beautiful body -ahem-) "i study saints and scholars both" he's reading the bible, and following god's word. I guess he does good to get god's blessings, but so far, he hasn't seen it yet. He sees how he should do good deeds in life, but doesn't understand why since he is feeling so lost. Why is truth so hard to find in this world "i see the parts but not the whole I study saints and scholars both This could be meaning he'll be searching for his purpose until he dies and he won't stop- (go blind.) He'll keep looking towards god and seek god's help til he "understands or go blind", or til he finds his purpose or dies. Stare at the sun I think is a metaphor for the heavens. " I think here he is asking god to show him the purpose of living in this world. Tearing into history is reading the bible. He has all these plans and views on life, but none of them are working out. I agree that this person has considered suicide, but his faith in god has stopped him. Show me what it means to me in this world
LYRICS STARING AT THE SUN CRACK
Keys for doors that don't exist I crack my teeth on pearls I tear into the history I'm only 19, but this song related to me in the following way:
