Music can simply get under our skin, and invoke hidden feelings and emotions we never knew we could have. We understand it while listening to this powerful duet – Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. Their song “Time to say goodbye” is giving goosebumps and making us want to enjoy it with eyes closed, and hearts open.
This famous song ‘Time To Say Goodbye’ was originally written and dedicated to boxer Henry Maske (he was a close friend of Sarah), as a farewell to him. It was performed for the first time at his final fight in 1996. Since then the song has sold over 12 million copies.
Andrea Bocelli keeps magnetizing with his voice, now it has been 20 years since the beginning of his career. The biggest satisfaction the artist receives is when he sings for the audience, not in the recording room. In one of the interviews Andrea revealed, that it was hard to fight the fear of stage, and he did it every time when he had to come up to the people and perform for them. But he also said “the god is the audience”, and there is no bigger happiness than singing live.
For any singer it is the most important to feel the feedback from the listeners, and Bocelli receives it fully, because he have an outstanding talent to touch the people’s souls with his voice.
Bocelli sold more than 70 million records, still the song “Time to say goodbye” remain the most famous among all.
