Behind The Music With Neal Barnard, MD:
We Recommend That You
We Recommend That You
Listen, Soak Up and Enjoy...Behind the Music is a Living Whole Online podcast series that spotlights the stories of musician composers. The more we deepen our understanding and appreciation of the creative process from which music, art, writing, photography, filmmaking, energy practices and family connections emerge, the more we can embrace those creative energies within our own lives, and enhance our health, healing and relationships with ourselves and others.
Listen to this sweet conversation between Kathryn Hayward, MD and award-winning composer and musician Neal Barnard, MD. Neal’s musical colleague Christine Heron, who sings with CarbonWorks, wrote the song Aspettano L’Aurora, which means waiting for the dawn.
It’s just the most beautiful thing ever. The lyrics say: "I wanted to learn how to love and instead I learned how to cry. I wanted to learn how to win and instead I learned how to live." Christine delivers these lines with such emotion and with such a simple image behind her...I thought it was so beautiful.

Lyrics
Volevo imparare ad amare
Da qui non esiste ritorno
Siamo dispersi ormai
Una nave nell’abisso profondo
Cosa sarà di noi?
Cerco la forza per credere ancora
Un principio d’aurora
Che possa spiegare perché
Volevo imparare ad amare
E invece ho imparato a piangere
Volevo imparare a vincere
E invece ho imparato a vivere
Da qui non esiste ritorno
Siamo distanti ormai
Come le poesie più belle si ricordano
Questo sarà di noi
Questo sarà di noi
Dammi la forza per credere ancora
Un principio d’aurora
Che possa spiegare perché
Volevo imparare a vincere
E invece ho imparato a vivere
Dammi la forza per credere ancora
Un principio d’aurora
Che possa spiegare perché
Invece ho imparato a vivere
I wanted to learn to love
There's no return from here
We're lost now
A ship in the deep abyss
What will become of us?
I'm looking for the strength to believe again
A dawning dawn
That can explain why
I wanted to learn to love
And instead I learned to cry
I wanted to learn to win
And instead I learned to live
There's no return from here
We're distant now
As the most beautiful poems are remembered
This will become of us
This will become of us
Give me the strength to believe again
A dawning dawn
That can explain why
I wanted to learn to win
And instead I learned to live
Give me the strength to believe again
A dawning dawn
That can explain why
Instead I learned to live
