KT Tunstall - Other Side Of The World

El primer tema del primer disco de la cantante escocesa KT Tunstall, Eye of the Telescope.

Bueno, esta canción solia escucharla en una de mis radios favoritas, y antes de interesarme totalmente, solía pensar: "Meh, es una canción bonita". Y como siempre me pasa, veo el video en la televisión y se me queda pegada.

Other Side Of The World trata sobre los amores a distancia, no tanto a esas relaciones que son tan comunes con eso de la internet, y que rara vez resultan, sino más a esos amores que por las circunstancias de la vida, ambas partes deben separarse. Está basada en una situación real que tuvieron unos amigos de KT.

Es una canción bastante relajada y amena, de esas que son ideales para una fogata, lo que no le quita lo bella.

Over the sea and far away

She's waiting like an iceberg

Waiting to change

But she's cold inside

She wants to be like the water

All the muscles tighten in her face

Buries her soul in one embrace

They're one and the same

Just like water

The fire fades away

Most of everyday

Is full of tired excuses

But it's too hard to say

I wish it were simple

But we give up easily

You're close enough to see that

You're the other side of the world to me

On comes the panic light

Holding on with fingers and feelings alike

But the time has come

To move along

The fire fades away

Most of everyday

Is full of tired excuses

But it's too hard to say

I wish it were simple

But we give up easily

You're close enough to see that

You're the other side of the world to me

Can you help me?

Can you let me go

And can you still love me

When you can't see me anymore

The fire fades away

Most of everyday

Is full of tired excuses

But it's too hard to say

I wish it were simple

But we give up easily

You're close enough to see that

You're the other side of the world to me

Robbie Williams - Feel

Escucho este tema y veo tranquilidad en todos lados.

Feel es el segundo tema y primer single de Escapology, el quinto disco en solitario del cantante británico Robbie Williams. Esta canción la recuerdo bastante por su línea melódica, que podría describirla como algo onírico y astral, perfectamente pausado y relajante, a la vez de profundo. El coro es una mezcla bien homogénea de voz y música, en algunas partes tildada por la agresividad.

Cada vez que escucho esta canción, me recuerda a un día nublado con débiles halos de luz filtrandose, mirando un paisaje llano y gris.

Come and hold my hand

I want to contact the living

Not sure I understand

This role I've been given

I sit and talk to God

And he just laughs at my plans

My head speaks a language

I don't understand

I just want to feel real love

Feel the home that I live in

Cause I got too much life

Running through my veins

Going to waste

I don't want to die

But I ain't keen on living either

Before I fall in love

I'm preparing to leave her

I scare myself to death

That's why I keep on running

Before I've arrived

I can see myself coming

I just want to feel real love

Feel the home that I live in

Cause I got too much life

Running through my veins

Going to waste

And I need to feel real love

And a life ever after

I cannot give it up

I just want to feel feel love

Feel the home that I live in

I got too much love

Running through my veins

To go to waste

I just want to feel real love

In a life ever after

There's a hole in my soul

You can see it in my face

It's a real big place

Come and hold my hand

I want to contact the living

Not sure I understand

This role I've been given

Not sure I understand

Symphony X - Paradise Lost

Esta es una de esas canciones épicas que tienen un sentimiento tan grande que son capaces de emocionar y ya no puedes dejar de escuchar.

Paradise Lost es el quinto tema del álbum homónimo del grupo Symphony X, grandes dentro del Metal Progresivo, y combina ese aire de balada junto con un sonido metálico y agresivo, perfectamente complementados.

Esta canción posee uno de los coros melódicos más bellos que haya escuchado.

In the cold misty morning

gleaming rays awake the dawn

Here I stand - a stranger in this land

does your conscience betray you?

falling from grace, feel the sun on my face

does desire still hold true?

Mystified by her beauty 

does the hunter pity his prey?

Under starless skies all

Love must die and fade away

Take my hand divine or damned

Make a stand, seize the day

Yours or mine, damned of divine

Draw the line, come what may...

Looking down from ethereal skies

Silent crystalline tears I cry

For all must say their last goodbye 

to Paradise

My yearning is silenced 

by angelic skin of white

Love conquers all for heaven's fall

this faithful night.

Yours or mine damned of divine

Draw the line  serpentine...

Love is a tragedy

all that I have, all that I'll ever need

is right here inside

Let the winds of freedom be my guide

Looking down from Ethereal Skies

Silent crystalline tears I cry

For all must say their last goodbye 

to Paradise

Looking down from Ethereal Skies

Silent crystalline tears I cry

For all must say their last goodbye 

to Paradise

Say goodbye, goodbye, hold on!

...so I've cheated and I've lied

been the victim of foolish pride

and I've begged and I've crawled

and I've battled and bled for it all

now I'll savor the downfall...of Paradise

Looking down from Ethereal Skies

Silent crystalline tears I cry

For all will say their last goodbye

to Paradise
