"Make You Feel My Love"

First here is a little trip down memory lane. Remember these times?

Advanced Womans Ensemble (AWE)
2004-2005
PHS Chamber Singers
2005-2006

THE Altos
2005-2006
PHS Concert choir
These were the days. When We all looked to one man for direction (literally.)

Mr Cory Mendenhall
No matter where he goes he will ALWAYS be THE PHS choir director.
Last Night I was able to attend the last concert that Mr Mendenhall will direct as the PHS choral director. It was a very touching concert because of the love that we all have for this not so everyday teacher. (I know he isn't dying but he touched too many lives to be forgotten at Provo High School, and in its legacy.)


It is very seldom that you meet a teacher that REALLY cares about their students and would do anything for them. A solo was sung at the concert last night called "Make you feel my love" that was dedicated to Mr Mendenhall that I feel captured his feelings towards us (his students) PERFECTLY.


"Make You Feel My Love"

"When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love"


Thank you Mr Mendenhall for Everything you stand for, and for helping me find the love I have for music.

Oh, Kate! I know we had our share of tears last night, so I didn't cry when I read this and saw the pictures...but I almost did.

Thank you for sharing. I truly miss those days, but I'm so glad they happened so we can have such wonderful memories.

I loved your thoughts and feelings about Mr. Mendenhall. He has had a great impact on many lives and I will always be grateful to him for everything he did for my daughters!
