TUNGUR KNIVUR
Hablar de Jorn Lande es hablar de un músico de reputación internacional que ha colaborado con muchísima gente en esto de la música. Así, además de hablar de sus siete discos de estudio, y de sus dos discos de versiones, bajo su propio nombre, hemos de referirinos a bandas como Vagabond (!994 - 1996), The Snakes (1998), Millennium (2000), ARK (2000 - 2001), Beyond Twilight (2002), o Masterplan con tres obras de estudio (2002 - 2010), así como su banda paralela con Russell Allen, alma mater de Symphony X, como Allen - Lande, con la que ya llevan 4 obras de estudio, la última de ellas salida hace escasamente un mes y que promete mucho, hasta el punto de que muy posiblemente hablemos de ella por este blog. Además colaboraciones tan importantes como Avantasia o Ayreon entre 2008 y 2010. En fin todo un talento este Noruego. Quiero traer al blog una canción que a mi me gusta mucho, de su segunda obra de estudio bajo su nombre, Worldchanger, de 2001. La canción es Tungur Knivur, con un toque muy vikingo, no en vano, se basa en la mitologia noruega. El disco entero Wolrdchanger es bastante bueno, y nos da una buena muestra de lo que es capaz de ofrecer este gran músico noruego, al que volveremos inevitablemente en alguna otra ocasión en este blog. Dejo un enlace a youtube.
Tungur Knivur
It was a long time ago
where the snowy winds blow
in the land of the midnight sun
in a storm sailed a viking ship
on a vast and long trip
the adventure had just begun
they were cold men of steel
with their swords and their shields
tungur knivur - heavy knife - tung kniv
there was thunder at the edge of the world
tungur knivur - pay the price - tung kniv
out to plunder with blades of steel
on the shore stood a warrior
his eyes are blue and sore
the only one to make it home
his soul was black as the raven
dark sinde the day when
his wounds had turned his heart to stone
he was strong without fear
hear a sound so clear
tungur knivur - heavy knife - tung kniv
there was thunder at the edge of the world
tungur knivur - pay the price - tung kniv
out to plunder with blades of steel
looking back at what was then
it was bravery of men
but time was bound to change everything
they would burn upon the cross
branded by a sacred cause
icon shadows turned to dust
tungur knivur - heavy knife - tung kniv
there was thunder at the edge of the world
tungur knivur - pay the price - tung kniv
out to plunder with blades of steel
