Nessun Dorma

Decca, under Universal. The voice is the work. The vow is that the dawn will find him equal to it.

Decca recorded it. Universal holds Decca. You do not need the plot to hear a person gather everything he has for one morning. That gathering is the virtue.

The opera around the aria is a cruel game. Use the singing. Do not use the contest as a model for how a man wins a woman.

RCA, under Sony. A joke with a true bill inside it.

RCA released it. Sony owns RCA. The cup of ambition is a joke until you have had the job. Then it is a description of a day that begins before you are awake and ends with someone else taking the credit.

Laugh, and then notice who in the house, or the shop, is the one the song is about.

The typewriter percussion is a job, done with wit.
