(24) A Tribute to the Missing & Murdered Women of Downtown Eastside Vancouver, BC

A tribute to the missing women of western Canada and murder victims of Downtown Eastside Vancouver, British Columbia with sketches done by Project EDAN to show a softer side of some of the missing women. Some of these young women are still listed as missing. "Somewhere" from "West Side Story" sung by Barbra Streisand and "Nella Fantasia" from "Eden" sung by Gardar Thor Cortes.

The meaning of the words in English translation of the song, "Nella Fantasia" which I thought were appropriate for the tribute to the missing women are below:

In my fantasy

In my fantasy I see a fair world,
Where everyone lives in peace and honesty.
I dream of a place to live that is always free,
Like a cloud that floats,
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.

In my fantasy I see a bright world
Where each night there is less darkness.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Like the cloud that floats.

In my fantasy exists a warm wind,
That breathes into the city, like a friend.
I dream of souls that are always free,
Like the cloud that floats,
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul
