"Do you ever look aroundturn your ear to the groundshow your face to the skyon a night when the skies echoe soundsfrom inside of your mindon the stage that you shonewhere the sun did become youand move with your thoughtsthrough the sighs and the scenesof the worlds you have seenand the sights that have beenyour reflection in shadows and dreams?- your reflection in shadows and dreamsDid you ever see a manwho did walk down the streetwhite robe with no shoes on his feetand on top of his head place a box with two slitsand the sign from his neck said 'I do not exist'or a woman who could not remember her namedid stutter and stutter again and againand saw you and called you her son her eyes said'my being is gone but still I'm not dead'?MiserereHave you ever seen a soundhave you listened to an imagehave you ever touched a thoughthave you ever tasted nothinghave you ever told a liethat was true more than truthbecause truth it had liedall its life when it spoke to you?And what did it sayit is that it is thisthis goes here here is thereit is not yes it isit was dulling your sensesyour eyes they were boundhave you ever my friendsbeen looking around?And the other replieswith a wave of a handI am already here in this promised landbut not by a god and not by a kingand not by a spiritdeep from withinI am here because a miracle's a whimit's a flash of gloryit's an empty tinand maybe might lets you innot to save youbut to keep on looking-Miserere…Have you ever been so happy that you're sad?that the lights turn to stars and the stars become eyesand hello's are goodbye'sand the laughs are the sigh'sand the show disappears with the note'until next time'Long live livingif living can be thisLong live livingif living can be thisLong live livingif living can be thisLong live livingif living can be thisDo you ever look aroundturn your ear to the groundshow your face to the skyon a night when the skies echoe soundsfrom inside of your mindon the stage that you shonewhere the sun did become youand move with your thoughtsthrough the sighs and the scenesof the worlds you have seenand the sights that have beenyour reflection in shadows and dreamsDo you ever look aroundand find what is yet to be found?"

When a song about being miserable is still about hope because total happiness is a trap..... And the trumpet solo...magnifique.....this song transports me to a higher place...such wonderful lyrics... xx

"Miserer, miserere" is sung by Felix Riebl's brother Max Riebl who is now 22yrs old (2013) and is now an operatic countertenor.  He was once offered the lead soprano role in the Vienna Boys Choir but turned it down.  I don't know how old he was when this was recorded.  A countertenor is the highest male voice in opera, and is particularly in Baroque opera.  It seems to be having a regeneration.  It is a male who's voice is very high and sings like a female soprano. Very musical family.

I was feeling really depressed, then I listened to this song. When it got to the part, "Long live living, if living can be this." I suddenly felt good about myself and he world again.

Just listened to this for the first time in years. I feel deprived having gone these last few without this song. As if reuniting with an old friend.

This song had me in tears the first time I heard it. I don't even know what is about it but it's so powerful. I love them.

Why the hell is the end cut off? I can not give this a thumbs up. Please don't mutilate good songs, dammit!

This song takes all my energy, gives me that melo mood. That could be because I'm really bad at this time, but, this same song gives me so much hope, I really can't explain, but this song is one of those piece of art that just changes you for a while.
