This site Background Music

Once this site 'To Know Earl Cain - to know is to love' is published, I respectively received mails asking me about this site background music. Do you also wonder which midi I used?! Or, you already knew the answer?! Yes! The midi I used is

Once Upon A December

Once there lived the happy Russian princess Anastasia; and once Russia was ruled under the Romanov family, and once upon a day, they were all killed in a basement. And once in 1997, a cartoon about the mysterous missing Russain princess Anastasia was created by the Twentieth Century Fox. Like any other Disney animations, 'Anastasia' contains many sweet songs and one of them is called 'Once upon a December':

Dancing bears
Painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory

Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart
Used to know
Once upon a December

Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory

Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart
Used to know
Things it yearns to remember

And a song
Someone sings
Once upon a December

Are you familar with this song ?! If you do, sing along with the midi now! Or,if you want to learn this song, go to the nearest music shop and get 'Anastasia' soundtrack. . . Sorry, I can't post the mp3 here as it is illegal to do so. And, if you are from Hong Kong, even you haven't heard this song 'Once Upon a December', I guess you are also famialr with this midi?! Becuase this song has been used and amended into a Cantonese song sung by Aaron Kwok. Do you know which one?! If you don't, e-mail me and I tell you which one .

About Anastasia - the sudden shot dead of the Czar family in 1918 left doubts to the people Some said that the prince and princess were not dead indeed. Though there once was a woman who claimed herself as the real Grand Duchess Anastasia, she in fact was a mad woman . The real Anastasia was shot dead together with her royal family on 16/17 July, 1918.
