Spirit - "The Songless Nightingale" (Medal of Honor)

this music vid is extremely cheesy. i meant for it to be a tear-jerker, but--as you can see--it's nowhere near being a tear-jerking video. oh well. the song's warm and sweet, though. i'll be doing a Bambi music video to this soon--if you take my idea, you die.

the song is from the Medal of Honor: Frontline soundtrack from the video game (that i adore). i was lucky enough to find the soundtrack online and download it. this song came along with it. in the game, it's sung in German (and by drunken Nazis--don't ask). but this is the English version of it. here are the lyrics:

Once there was a Nightingale,
With no voice at all to hail
Other birds would laugh and sing
While she cried behind her wing

One sad day she flew away
To the woods alone to stay
Lost there was a little boy
Seeing him home again would bring her joy

Silently gliding she led from above the trees
He followed her with ease
To the forest edge

There a hunter saw the bird
Aimed his gun with nary a word
Shot her down from out of the sky
And the boy began to cry

He returned where he'd been found
Laid his friend within the ground
Since he made that noble choice
He was blessed with a fine singing voice!
From within, came to him, the Nightingale's voice
