Obliati Osimati

I can’t tell if I’m a tenor or a tin ear, but I’d never let that stop me from trying to sing the song that is in the heart to sing. Obliati Osimati is what C. S. Lewis might have referred to as “damnably bad Latin.” But you all know what it means. If not, listen and think a while. I’ve taught enough ESL now to know that 90% of any language is in the paralanguage. Please excuse the imitatio Philipenisis Glassenisis but I love Philip Glass who is one of a few modern/post-modern composers that I do like. In-spite of the mood-altering sadness you might pick up, I would prefer you think of it as a lullaby, but a lullaby that makes you think, perhaps, about what you do, have done with your life.
