IMAGINATIONS FROM THE OTHER SIDE
Ya hemos
hablado antes de Blind Guardian en este blog, y en general poco hay que
decir que ya no se sepa de esta extraordinaria banda alemana, tan solo
una breve referencia a su largo historial musical. Blind Guardian se
formó en 1984 en Alemania, bajo el nombre de Lucifer's Heritage, con el
que funcionaron hasta 1986, en que cambian a Blind Guardian. Los
miembros fundadores fueron Hansi Kursch y Andre Olbrich, incorporándose
al poco tiempo Thomen Stauch y Marcus Siepen. De ellos solo Thomen
Stauch ha dejado la banda en 2005. Algunos otros músicos han pasado por
el grupo y grandes colaboraciones como la de Kai Hansen, pero en general
Blind Guardian han tenido mucha estabilidad en su formación.
Influenciados por la literatura, (sobre todo Tolkien y Stephen King) y
el cine, sus letras hacen referencia a esos temas y en ocasiones ayudan a
la linea argumental de canciones de la banda o incluso de discos
enteros. Tienen 10 discos de estudio, a cual mejor, lo que les ha creado
un nombre entre los grupos internacionales más respetados dentro de
nuestro mundillo. Quiero hoy hacer referencia a uno de sus mejores
discos a mi entender, el Imaginations from the other side, de 1995, con
unos Blind Guardian ya en su cenit, y en plena forma, un disco con temas
memorables en esta su quinta obra de estudio, de la que pueden
destacarse todos y cada uno de los temas, y en más ocasiones recurriremos a esta auténtica joya de los 90, de la banda y del heavy metal en general. Hoy quiero dejar el tema homónimo en el blog al titulo del disco, "Imaginations from the other side", un tema perfecto para engancharte y obligarte a quedarte durante toda la obra enganchado más que nunca al sonido de los bardos, un temazo del que dejo hoy un enlace a youtube.
Where are these silent faces
I took them all
they all went away
now you're alone
to turn out every light so deep in me
hold on, to late
Will I ever see them back again
or did they all die by my hand
or where they killed
by the old evil ghost
who had taken
the ocean
of all my dreams
which were worth to keep
deep inside my heart
I wish I
could get them back
from the everflow
before they'll fade away
Ref.:
Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
out of the dark
back to the light
then I'll break down
the walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side
Where's the ocean's daughter
was Peter Pan in Mordor
no one's there to keep alive
all these fairy tales
may I return to Oz
will I meet the "Tin Man"
"Coward Lion" where are you
without brain the scarecrow's lost
in the middle of the lake
stranded in the real world
left in a world
no place for daydreams
serious life
I fall into
I fall into a dark hole
and I can't come out
do you know if Merlin did exist
or Frodo wore the ring
did Corum kill the gods
or where's the wonderland
which young Alice had seen
or was it just a dream
I knew the answers
now they're lost for me
Ref.
(Solo)
I hope there is a way back
with my talisman
so I look into myself
to the days when I was just a child
come follow me to wonderland
and see the tale that never ends
don't fear the lion nor the witch
I can't come back
I'm lost but still I know
there is another world
I took them all
they all went away
now you're alone
to turn out every light so deep in me
hold on, to late
Will I ever see them back again
or did they all die by my hand
or where they killed
by the old evil ghost
who had taken
the ocean
of all my dreams
which were worth to keep
deep inside my heart
