Nickelback - Yanking Out My Heart (Bonus Track)

In the spring of one thousand seven hundred and seventy, as a thirteen-year-old boy, I went with my father to Rome. From Rome we went to Naples. I played twice at the conservatory and repeatedly performed in other places. The nobility and the clergy showed us all sorts of signs of attention, especially one abbot was attached to us, who considered himself an expert on music and also had some weight at court. The day before our departure, he led us, accompanied by other gentlemen, into the magnificent royal park located near the sea - villa reale, as they, along with other magnificent titles, called themselves. Together with many distinguished spectators, among whom was the young, affable Queen Carolina with two princesses, we sat on benches arranged in long rows under a shadow of a gallery covered with waves, splashing against the walls. Sea,as if painted in multi-colored stripes, reflected the blue sky, bathed in the sun in all its splendor. Vesuvius was right in front of us, and on the left, as if through a smoky curtain, there was a lovely, softly outlined shore of the bay.
