0:07:35 > 0:07:39Well, our next guest got a job as a receptionist at the Hall
0:07:39 > 0:07:42in the hope that some passing impresario would listen
0:07:42 > 0:07:44to his wonderful humming and give him a job.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47He was, of course, a trained musician.

0:43:01 > 0:43:07# No song unsung, no wine untasted
0:43:09 > 0:43:13# But the tigers come at night
0:43:17 > 0:43:24# With their voices soft as thunder
0:43:24 > 0:43:31# As they tear your hope apart

0:44:09 > 0:44:14# But he was gone when autumn came
0:44:20 > 0:44:27# And still I dream he'll come to me
0:44:27 > 0:44:34# That we will live the years together
0:44:34 > 0:44:41# But there are dreams that cannot be
0:44:41 > 0:44:47# And there are storms we cannot weather
0:44:51 > 0:44:57# I had a dream my life would be
0:44:57 > 0:45:02# So different from this hell I'm living

0:54:39 > 0:54:46# Cleaving the sky
0:54:46 > 0:54:53# Sun, moon, and stars forgot
0:54:53 > 0:55:00# Upwards I fly
