The Godfather Love Theme

Speak Softly Love is the main theme music of The Godfather movie. Whilst its instrumental variant is simply known as "The Godfather Love Theme", "Speak Softly Love" is the song variant. The beautiful words were written by Larry Kusic and the passionate music itself was written by Nino Rota. The theme appears numerous times in the movie, more often that not as an instrumental piece. 

I grew up knowing that The Godfather movie exists but I was not interested enough to actually watch it until I read the book. I was absorbed by Mario Puzo's description of the underground world,  by politics, some sex, and tons of violence. So absorbed, I would love to be a part of a strong and powerful family such as Carleone's. I could be their family's exclusive musician. (I just thought.)  

After watching the movie, the main theme really made an impression on me. I find myself humming it, learning the lyrics of the song, and listening to its different versions. It never fails to amaze me. It sounds different every time. I thought that I will just listen to it as usually, but I ended up doing an arrangement.  Hence, this recorded solo guitar music.  

My listeners' thoughts are very dear to me. Please take a moment to leave your comments or thoughts below. If you enjoyed this piece, share it with your friends on Facebook, Twitter or re-share. Thank you very much!

P.S. I actually watched the trilogy.

Paul Adrian | The Mother's Child

The Mother's Child (El Noi De La Mare) is a traditional Catalan folk song. It sounds somehow forlorn and full of reliance at the same time. Its beautiful melody, emotional sound, and simplicity made it one of the best pieces arranged for the Classical Guitar.

It is said that Andres Segovia played this piece for his last absolute performance.

I had fun doing The Mother's Child. I hope you'll like it as I do.
Thank you very much!

In this world, are opportunities made? or is it something that is given to you? I'd been thinking really hard about it. As I type this, it still bothers me that I am beginning to think the latter might be true. Have you given it a thought? 'cause I just did! It really doesn't matter that you graduated from a premiere university, or You're smart and talented. What matter is where you are and who are you with.

Most successful people I know and read about are examples of this. Let's take my acquaintance for instance, his grand father built a chain of stores, his father built a realty corporation and in thirty years they have created their business empire. His always telling everyone that he is self made. I hate him for that. I hate him for not even realizing that he is not. The reason that he is in his current situation is simply because he just inherited it. Somebody gave it to him.

Opportunity has something to do with the population. Imagine a class room with ten students. What do you think will happen? Even if you are the worst student in that class, no matter what you do, you will finish with honor. Whether you like it or not. Most probably you'll get the 10th honor. The student is lucky enough to have parents who enrolled him in a low populated school. Just Imagine an old man who tell you about how he lead his basketball team as a captain. Then you'll learn that it is a team of 7 kids and he is the tallest.

If you want to have an awesome award, you must be a part of an award giving body. A group of people who will acknowledge you. No one will give you an award if nobody knows what you're doing. If you want to be a Grammy Award Winner, then you should know some people working there or you should be there working in the team/company. So nobody is just nobody sprouting from nowhere. He must be from within.

To wrap this up, we learned that opportunity is a part of a common belief that No Man Is An Island, No One Can Stand Alone. Somebody will give you that big break (Opportunity). Perhaps a senior or someone who has a lot of experience than you. So you must be there! So it could happen. So where is it? It depends on what you are doing. Perhaps you want to make it big in technology, you must go to where the big shots in technology are. If you want to make it big in arts, go to where the art is celebrated and where the patrons of arts are. It is just how the world works. It Is Not What You Know, It Is WHO You Know!
