Hi,
OK, I tried again and got to the 2 minute mark this time.
Translated into English, it is not a sad song.
I'm curious why it
sounds sad to me.
The song was written by a poet from Bengal -- Rabindranath Tagore -- won the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature.
The music: Garry Schyman
The voice: Palbasha Siddique -- a teenager in Minnesota

Quote:
Stream of Life
The same stream of life that runs through my veins night
and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.
It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in
numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.
It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow.
I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life.
And my pride is from the lifethrob of ages dancing in my blood this moment.

Apologies.
I'm sitting here on the computer goofing around even though I have been sleep deprived for the past week or three.
