Moonlight
III. Presto Agitato Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Years and years have passed
But I've been stuck between these same four walls
Swallow the pain, feelings fade away
Everything has become a painfully dull grey
When I broke free, you were standing in front of me
The moonlight shaping your face clearly
And beaming bright you squeezed my hand tight
You didn't want to leave me behind
The hue of the moonlight
Colours my way forward
My past far behind me
As we both go onward
No longer afraid of
Being stuck away from
And not being nearby
The way you make my heart strum
A flash of fire emits from your hair
Sunny forests bloom in your eyes
I haven't felt this way in a terribly long time
Free to think, free to feel
The hue of the moonlight
Colours my way forward
My past far behind me
As we both go onward
No longer afraid of
Being stuck away from




And not being nearby
The way you make my heart strum

I would give every one of my meager possessions for the chance to hear her play this in person.

This song, specifically how she plays it, strikes a chord in me that I can't explain. It's immaculate, and one of my favorite songs of all time, again, specifically played by her.

I've head many versions of this, and listen to a very wide variety of music, but this is just incredible. I don't have words to describe how this moves me. I have a vague understanding of the work that must have gone into playing like this, but it just seems less like she's playing this song, and more like the song is just flowing out of her.

I don't think I've ever heard another composition that hits me like this does.

Thank you for this masterpiece, Valentina Lisitsa. You deserve every ounce of praise that can be given for this.

She plays it much faster yet cleaner than anyone I ever heard
The notes so clear, the volume so dynamic, the movement of her hands absolutely effortless and the emotion in this performance is just over the top
I think that’s how Beethoven himself would have played it
Absolut mad lady

@Palahume

Not to mention, all from memory. 😳

@Hephasto

This tempo is hectic , I’m wondering if it’s supposed to be played that fast😮

@nickjerrat

@@Hephasto perhaps not but how amazing it is at speed!!
