The Islander - Nightwish
Você encontra ela no álbum novo da banda, Dark Passion Play. é uma versão meio que acustica, com somente instrumentos austicos. Começa somente com Marco Hietala, Bass and Vocals, e no meio da música, exatamente na frase " Princes in the Tower ... ", Anette Olzon, a nova vocal da banda, começa a cantar.
A música é maravilhosa, fala de como o mundo passa e as coisas e pessoas vão ficando para trás, como se não tivessem importância.
Letra: The Islander ( Tuomas Holopainen )
An old man by a seashore
At the end of day
Gazes the horizon
With seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed island
Seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted
And a ship without a name
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind long ago
The albatross is flying
Making him daydream
The time before he became
One of the world's unseen
Princess in the tower
Children in the fields
Life gave him it all:
An island of the universe
Now his love's a memory
A ghost in the fog
He sets the sails one last time
Saying farewell to the world
Anchor to the water
Seabed far below
Grass still in his feet
And a smile beneath his brow
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind long ago
So long ago (2x)
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind so long ago
So long ago
Escrevendo o Post, começou uma música que também meche bastante comigo. Tudo nela é perfeito, o som, o solo de guitarra, a letra, e o modo como a ouvi pela primeira vez. Foi num episódio da série Supernatural, exatamente na 2º temporada, capitulo 17 chamado Heart. Uma dos capitulos mais triste e maravilhosos da série.
Ela chama Silent Licidity, da banda Queensrÿche. Você pode encontrar ela no albúm Greatest Hist (2000). Fala mais ou menos do desespero de perder alguem que ama, como você fica encurralado, sem vontade, na escuridão, mas sempre, tudo tem seu jeito.
Silent Lucidity - Queensrÿche
Hush now, don't you cry,
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye.
You're lying safe in bed,
it was all a bad dream spinning in your head.
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain,
Of someone close to you leaving the game (of life).
So here it is, another chance, wide awake you face the day.
The dream is over, or has it just begun...?
There's a place I like to hide,
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realise and you were scared.
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind.
Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see this magic new dimension
I........will be watching over you
I........am gonna help to see you through
I........will protect you in the night
I........am smiling next to you
In silent lucidity
[Spoken]
Visualise your dream,
Record it in the present tense,
Put it into a permanent form,
If you persist in all efforts,
You can achieve a dream come true...
...a dream come true...
...a dream come true...
...a dream come true...
(Hug me...)
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see.
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down; a new world will begin.
Living twice at once you learn
you're safe from pain in the dream domain
a soul set free to fly.
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realise your dream's alive
You can be the guide but
I........will be watching over you
I........am gonna help to see you through
I........will protect you in the night
I........am smiling next to you...
Duas músicas que eu necessito ouvir todos os dias.
