Elias /ᵻˈlaɪ.əs/ is the Latin transliteration of the Greek name Ἠλίας, which in turn is the Hellenized form of the Hebrew: אליהו, Eliyahu, meaning "Yahweh is my God". Another form of Eliyahu in English is Elijah /ᵻˈlaɪdʒə/.
The name belonged most notably to Elijah, the Hebrew prophet. The Quran refers to this prophet in Arabic as Ilias (إلياس), the prophet who was born in Baalbek, east of Lebanon. The King James Version of the Bible also uses "Elias" in the New Testament as the English translation of the Greek name for this prophet.
Elias of het gevecht met de nachtegalen (Elias, or the fight with the nightingales) is a 1991 Dutch film directed by Klaas Rusticus.
Elijah (German: Elias), Op. 70, MWV A 25, is an oratorio written by Felix Mendelssohn. It premiered in 1846 at the Birmingham Festival. It depicts events in the life of the Biblical prophet Elijah, taken from the books 1 Kings and 2 Kings of the Old Testament.
This piece was composed in the spirit of Mendelssohn's Baroque predecessors Bach and Handel, whose music he loved. In 1829 Mendelssohn had organized the first performance of Bach's St Matthew Passion since the composer's death and was instrumental in bringing this and other Bach works to widespread popularity. By contrast, Handel's oratorios never went out of fashion in England. Mendelssohn prepared a scholarly edition of some of Handel's oratorios for publication in London. Elijah is modelled on the oratorios of these two Baroque masters; however, in its lyricism and use of orchestral and choral colour the style clearly reflects Mendelssohn's own genius as an early Romantic composer.
The work is scored for four vocal soloists (bass-baritone, tenor, alto, soprano), full symphony orchestra including trombones, ophicleide, organ, and a large chorus singing usually in four, but occasionally eight or three (women only) parts. The title role is for bass-baritone and was sung at the premiere by the Austrian bass Joseph Staudigl.
I feel the change in weather,
I wish I never met her
This shit is takin thru to me
I wrote it in a letter,
I said we be forever, now this is what you left for me
I'm laying in my bed and your not by my side
All the promises was said and my heart broke in side
It hurt so much it didn't work out
We tried so hard couldnt figure it out
Thought she was the one
But Now I see that she aint the girl that was ment for me
So I drove away didn't watch my back
And I can't deny ima call her back
Cuz I really really love her
Cuz she was the girl that was ment for me
So I never gave up and I no it seems that I always give up
But when I can't breath then I no it's real
That she was the girl that was ment for me [x2]
We putting it together
It's getting hard then ever
But this is how it's got to be
I wana make it better
I swear I want it better
So this is how I really feel
I aint neva been, Hurt like this before
So find some supplement
And I can't take it any more
It hurt so much it didn't work out
We tried so hard couldnt figure it out
Thought she was the one
But Now I see that she aint the girl that was ment for me
So I drove away didn't watch my back
And I can't deny ima call her back
Cuz I really really love her
She was the girl that was ment for me
So I never gave up and I no it seems that I always give up
BUt wen I can't breath then I no it's real
That she was the girl that was ment for me [x2]
Do you see me crying out for you
Do you see me reaching out for you
Do you see that I am there for you
Do you see how much I care for you
Do you see that I'll be there for you
Do you see that I am ment for you
[Pause]
She was the girl that was ment for me
So I never gave up and I no it seems that I always give up
BUt wen I can't breath then I no it's real
That she was the girl that was ment for me [x2]
