Canciones para una vida - Excalion - Callsigns

 

CALLSIGNS

Emotions es el último de los 5 LP's editados por la banda finlandesa "Excalion", uno de esos grupos que hacen recordar a los mejores momentos del power metal internacional, concretamente al de su escuela finlandesa y la explosión de los Stratovarius y Sonata Arctica de finales de los 90. Sobre todo trae reminiscencias de Stratovarius en no pocas ocasiones. A pesar de llevar ya en activo desde 2000, entre 2010 y 2017 permanecieron sin dar señales de vida compositivas, lo que puede explicar la "solo" edición de cinco obras de estudio en más de dos décadas de actividad. Sea como sea en los últimos años parecen haber relanzado su carrera, y como decía al incio 2019 fue el último año en que publicaron LP, este "Emotions" del que hoy quiero dejar en el blog una de sus canciones, en concreto "Callsigns" de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.

Silence on the highway

As I make my way
Path down the darkness
To visit memory
Twenty years have passed today
Never yours to live, only mine
On Route 39
In vain I called your sign
My youth hated that bleary day

You were Maverick
I was a jester
A dance full of freedom
A road wide and long
We had callsigns since we were kids
You and me, my best friend
Wherever you went
I went along

Calling Maverick, are you there?
Can't see you anywhere
It's the worst that I fear
Come in if you hear
Saw your headlights disappear

I said, "You behind your wheel and I behind mine."
Let's go, my buddy, let's go down the line
Hit the afterburners, do a barrel roll
The night is so fine
I'll race you down the thirty-nine

Calling Maverick, are you there?
Can't see you anywhere
It's the worst…

Right here, we can stand once more
The campsite just before the lakeshore
The callsign, one last time
Maverick, are you there?
Do your recall stare

Maverick, are you there?
Can't see you anywhere
It's the worst that I fear
Come in if you hear
Saw your headlights disappear

Maverick, are you there?
Can't see you anywhere
It's the worst that I fear
Come in if you hear
Saw your headlights disappear

Maverick, are you there?
Can't see you anywhere
It's the worst that I fear
Come in if you hear
Saw your headlights disappear

Maverick, are you there?
Can't see you anywhere
It's the worst that I fear
Come in if you hear
Saw your headlights disappear

Maverick, are you there?
