Sweet Mystery of Life

[@thomasbradley4505]

My parents were born in the 1920s, I was born when they were older (in their 40s). I grew up watching all the classics musicals on late night and weekend tv. My dad had a good voice, and my mom loved all the Jeanette McDonald/nelson Eddy musicals so I heard their songs all the time. Watching this brings them back and makes me happy

[@christinewhite6993]

Amen! Similar life story. My Dad was a projectionist and rented MacDonald Eddy films and we watched them on a screen on the living room wall. Talk about making an impression! Love them.❤

[@thomasbradley4505]

@@christinewhite6993 that sounds awesome.

[@SassyLoverBoy]

I was also a child of a mother in her 40's! She too introduced me too a lot of classic films and music. Only recently has she welcomed me in to the Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald filmography. She is obsessed with these two, as of late! I am happy to continue to make these memories with her in her golden years on this Earth. You're comment touched me.

Wonderful memories fir your heart and brings a smile to you. Such beautiful singing voices. I enjoy watching them, as well.😊

[@rnhealer6044]

I'm a soprano and I love singing this song with Jeanette. It's one of my favorite songs. It's so beautiful..

[@Blacky474]

And I'd quite like to hear you sing it. I believe that Felex Knight sang this song to great effect; he was an American tenor back in the 1920's and 1930's.

[@billkerr5010]

Their chemistry was without a doubt beyond belief the reason for that they both loved each other you can't get any better than that

What gets me about this song is that Jeanette McDonald's very first note is almost indistinguishable from the violin accompanying her. Amazing!

They were before my time but I love their singing, they're magnificent. None have come close. Today's "music" isn't.

[@beverlyp480]

They were twin flames who found each other and their love shines in their eyes as they sing from that place in their hearts for what they really feel for each other. Epic movie. Naughty Marrietta. Their love is forever captured in this film.💖

[@moresunrichs]

My mother, who was born in 1923, used to tell the story of how Nelson Eddy once came to sing at the Shamokin, PA. opera house. Afterward, he attended a party in a house on Danville, PA's Market Street. She was only a young teen and was not invited to the party. But her parents attended. And my mother used to say, when Nelson Eddy came to town, all the women folk in town were "all-a-twitter."

Here you go. Ah, sweet mystery of life at last I've found thee, Oh, at last I know the secret of it all. Oh, the longing, seeking, striving, waiting, yearning, The idle hopes and joys and burning tears that fall. For it's love and love alone the world is seeking, And it's love and love alone I've waited for. And my heart has heard the answer to its calling, And it it love that rules for ever more.

The music that gave our parents deep and strong good emotions. Even in Mexico, where this movies were the first ones to be seen, which made a huge change in life and peoples considerations of life. In the 50s, we still could hear Jeannette McDonald and Nelson Eddy singing. My mother use to sing, sometimes just the melody, of Indian Love Call, a song that was a very nice sound presence in me as a very young kid. Es parte de la música que le dio a nuestros padres profundas y buenas emociones. Aun en México, donde estas primeras películas impresionaron mucho a todos, haciendo notables cambios en la vida y en las consideraciones acerca de la vida humana. Todavía en los años 50 escuchamos a Jeanette McDonald y Nelson Eddy. Mi mamá cantaba, a veces sin palabras, el Amor Indio, que desde muy chico fue una realidad sonora notable para mí.

An ascended master is an enlightened spiritual being, a spiritual being who once lived on earth, fulfilled a special spiritual purpose and then ascended and reunited with God in the ritual of the ascension. Each master has a vibration that one can attune to by listening to the master’s “keynote”, a musical piece that ties to his Electronic Presence, which is the pattern of the master’s soul identity, his code of creation. This song "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life by Victor Herbert" is the keynote of Beloved Lord Maitreya The Cosmic Christ and Planetary Buddha, also known as the “Coming Buddha”
