Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word / Out of the Blue

Pop-jazz track - Sonnet 61 / music by Lauren Bensted

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks; 
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

You’ll See
(Music: Theo Bina, Text: Magdalena Bina)
Verse 1
I’m afraid of many things, but no one knows what life brings. Do people notice if I’m there, if I
would die would they care? Would it affect them in any way or would it be like any ordinary
day? Well, the sun would rise at dawn and the stars would shine at night.
Chorus
He says don’t be afraid of what life brings. Live and put your trust in me - whatever it is. He
says let your fears out, lay your burden on me. Trust my word and you’ll see.
Verse 2
There’s always time for worries, they are like pain in my chest. I’m always in a hurry, what I
need the most is rest. It’s almost like I’m obsessed by the thought of perfection. What I need
is to find another way of satisfaction.
Chorus
But He says don’t be afraid of what life brings. Live and put your trust in me - whatever it is.
He says let your fears out, lay your burden on me. Trust my word and you’ll see.

Timelines

According to St. Bede, Ceolfrith set out from his monastery on 4 June 716, a thursday. Among the things he took with him was an enormous book, a gift he intended to deliver at his earthly destination. The giant book Ceolfrith took with him, now known as Codex Amiatinus, is the oldest surviving, complete Latin Bible in the world.  Ceolfrith took one of the three giant bibles written in the Wermouth monastery, where he was the abbot, as a gift for St Peter’s shrine in Rome. " ... and got on a horse, speeding away from the land of the Angles to the lands where, with a freer and purer spirit for contemplating angels, he might be delivered to Heaven".
On 12 August Ceolfrith "reached the lands of Gaul", where he was received with honour by King Chilperic himself. The party then travelled over land. Ceolfrith went part of the way on horseback and part of the way being carried on a litter, as he was becoming ill. He reached Langres around 9am on 25 September. He died there on 29 September 716.

Recorded in Milan, with Lorenzo Di Biasi (www.sartoria57studio.it/).

As the cover image, I chose the famous miniature that occupies the fifth sheet of the 'Codex Amiatinus', now preserved in the Laurentian Library in Florence.
