[00:00:24] In nineteenth century Russia we write letters

[00:00:27] We write letters

[00:00:29] We put down in writing

[00:00:31] What is happening in our minds

[00:00:35] Once it's on the paper we feel better

[00:00:38] We feel better

[00:00:40] It's like some kind of clarity

[00:00:43] When the letter's done and signed

[00:00:46] Dear Andrei

[00:00:48] Dear old friend

[00:00:49] How goes the war

[00:00:51] Do we march on the French splendidly

[00:00:57] Do our cannons crack and cry

[00:00:59] Do our bullets whistle and sing

[00:01:02] Does the air reek with smoke

[00:01:08] I wish I were there

[00:01:10] With death at my heels

[00:01:14] Dolokhov is recovering

[00:01:16] He will be all right the good man

[00:01:19] And Natasha is in town

[00:01:22] Your bride to be so full of life and mischief

[00:01:26] I should visit

[00:01:27] I hear she is more beautiful than ever

[00:01:32] How I envy you and your happiness

[00:01:36] Here at home

[00:01:37] I drink and read and drink and read and drink

[00:01:42] But I think I've finally found it

[00:01:44] What my heart has needed

[00:01:47] For I've been studying the cabal

[00:01:50] And I've calculated the number of the beast

[00:01:54] It is napoleon

[00:01:56] Six hundred three score and six

[00:01:59] And I will kill him one day

[00:02:02] He's no great man

[00:02:04] None of us are great men

[00:02:06] We're caught in the wave of history

[00:02:09] Nothing matters

[00:02:11] Everything matters

[00:02:13] It's all the same

[00:02:15] Oh if only I could not see it

[00:02:17] This dreadful terrible it

[00:02:21] In nineteenth century Russia we write letters

[00:02:24] We write letters

[00:02:26] We write letters

[00:02:26] We put down in writing

[00:02:28] What is happening in our minds

[00:02:32] Dear Andrei

[00:02:37] What more can I write

[00:02:39] After all that has happened

[00:02:42] What am I to do if

[00:02:44] I love him and the other one too

[00:02:47] Must I break it off

[00:02:50] These terrible questions

[00:02:54] I see nothing but the candle in the mirror

[00:02:58] No visions of the future

[00:03:01] So lost and alone

[00:03:05] And what of princess Mary

[00:03:08] Dear Natasha

[00:03:11] I am in deep

[00:03:13] Despair at the misunderstanding there is between us

[00:03:16] Whatever my father's feelings might be

[00:03:22] I beg you to believe that I cannot help loving you

[00:03:28] He is a tired old man and must be forgiven

[00:03:33] Please come see us again

[00:03:36] Dear princess Mary

[00:03:38] Oh what am I to write

[00:03:40] How do I choose

[00:03:41] What do I do

[00:03:42] I shall never be happy again

[00:03:44] These terrible questions

[00:03:47] I'm so alone here

[00:03:50] So alone in here

[00:03:53] And I see nothing

[00:03:55] I see nothing but the candle in the mirror

[00:04:00] No visions of the future

[00:04:02] So lost and alone

[00:04:05] Oh oh oh oh

[00:04:07] In nineteenth century Russia we write letters

[00:04:10] We write letters

[00:04:12] We put down in writing

[00:04:15] What is happening in our minds

[00:04:17] Dear Natalie

[00:04:21] A love letter

[00:04:23] A love letter

[00:04:26] A love letter

[00:04:29] A letter from him from the man that I love

[00:04:32] A letter which I composed

[00:04:35] A love letter

[00:04:36] A love letter

[00:04:37] A love letter

[00:04:38] A love letter

[00:04:40] A love letter

[00:04:41] A love letter

[00:04:43] A love letter

[00:04:44] A love letter

[00:04:46] Natalie

[00:04:47] Natalie

[00:04:47] Natalie

[00:04:48] I must love you or die

[00:04:52] Natalie

[00:04:52] Natalie

[00:04:53] Natalie

[00:04:54] If you love me say yes

[00:04:56] And I will come and steal you away

[00:05:00] Steal you out of the dark

[00:05:03] Natalie

[00:05:03] Natalie

[00:05:04] Natalie

[00:05:05] I want nothing more

[00:05:08] Natalie

[00:05:09] Natalie

[00:05:10] Natalie

[00:05:10] I must love you or die

[00:05:14] Natalie

[00:05:14] Natalie

[00:05:15] Natalie

[00:05:16] If you love me say yes

[00:05:19] And I will come and steal you away

[00:05:22] Steal you out of the dark

[00:05:25] Natalie

[00:05:26] Natalie

[00:05:26] Natalie

[00:05:27] I want nothing more

[00:05:30] Just say yes

[00:05:35] Just say yes

[00:05:41] Just say yes

[00:05:52] Yes yes I love him

[00:05:55] How else could I have his letter in my hand

[00:05:59] I read it twenty times

[00:06:02] Thirty times forty times

[00:06:04] Each and every word

[00:06:08] I love him

[00:06:10] I love him
