FAREWELL
Como todos
sabemos Tobias Sammet es el líder, cantante y principal compositor de la
banda alemana Edguy. Para Tobias Sammet, un músico tan prolífico como
inquieto, el año 2000 supuso un punto de inflexión en su carrera
musical. Tras pasar practicamente del anonimato en 1998 al publicar con
Edguy la obra "Vain Glory Opera", con el apoyo en la producción de Timo
Tolkki de Stratovarius, que recibió grandes criticas y expectación
internacional, el grupo confirmo su buen hacer con la siguiente obra
"Theater of salvation", de 1999. Habían hecho lo más complicado que era
sacar la cabeza, y con nota, y el año 2000 aprovechan para reeditar su
disco "The savage poetry" compuesto por Edguy cuando solo tenían apenas
15 años. La mente de Tobias venia dando vueltas bastante tiempo a un
proyecto inmenso en el que juntar su concepto musical con músicos de
primerísimo nivel, muchos de ellos héroes de su adolescencia no tan
lejana, todo ello envuelto en una linea conceptual muy teatral, en que
cada músico tomaba a un personaje como propio en una especie de opera
rock. De esta manera surge Avantasia, en principio con la aspiración de
hacer realidad el sueño de Tobias Sammet en una doble entrega
únicamente. En 2001 sale la primera parte, "The metal opera", que consigue un éxito tan fulminante como en cierto modo inesperado. En 2002 la segunda
parte "The metal opera parte 2" no hace sino confirmar el buen hacer del
proyecto. Este éxito tiene que ver, primero con el buen hacer
compositivo de este genial músico, y segundo con su capacidad para haber
hecho que músicos de la categoría de los que aquí cantan se juntasen en
un proyecto así, músicos como, Michael Kiske, André Matos, Kai Hansen,
Rob Rock, David Defeis, Sahron Den Adel, Bob Catley, Oliver Hartmann,
Henjo Richter, Markus Grosskopf, Alex Holzwarth, así como el núcleo de
su banda Edguy. Este disco que hoy dejo en el blog es el que comenzó todo, un disco de gran factura para el lucimiento de grandes dentro de nuestra música, incluido el propio Tobias Sammet. Quiero dejar en el blog la canción "Farewell", con Tobias Sammet flanqueado por Kiske a la voz (Helloween), Henjo Richter a la guitarra (Gamma Ray), Markus Grosskopf al bajo (Helloween), y Alex Holzwarth a la batería (Rhapsody, Angra), un temazo del que dejo un enlace a youtube.
[Gabriel:]
Days had come, winters had gone,
and we gamboled like siblings in Paradise.
I was your knight, holding you tight
as a brother when I saw your crying eyes.
Time went by and we had to say goodbye.
Staring up to the clouds above
Children - so little and sad.
Hoping the saints could help one day
Lead us together again.
Holding the key to the alley of dreams
still in hands.
Time telling me to say farewell
but I knew that I would fight hell
and I knew: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we'll be free,
for no more farewell.
Time telling me to say farewell
but I knew that I would fight hell
and I knew: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we'll be free,
for no more farewell.
[Anna:]
Stepbrother tell me where have you been
when they brought me to this godforsaken place.
Sign of the cross - they took me away
for healing with herbs by the way of grace.
Now I wait for the day to feed the flames.
[Gabriel:]
I have been caught in a cage of despair.
My heart as a monk's cell so empty and bare.
But no holy water can make me
forget you again...
Time telling me to say farewell
but I knew that I would fight hell
and I knew: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we'll be free,
for no more farewell.
Time telling me to say farewell
but I knew that I would fight hell
and I knew: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we'll be free,
for no more farewell.

No farewell could be the last one.
If you long to meet again...
No farewell could be the last one.
If you long to meet again...
No farewell could be the last one.

No farewell could be the last one.
