REACH OUT FOR THE LIGHT
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 del que hoy dejo en el blog otro de sus temas 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 hoy en el
blog la canción "Reach out for the light", 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), otro temazo del que dejo un enlace a youtube.
[Gabriel:]
Yeah -yeah...
Lord above - why don't you tell me
why I'm here in agony?
I've been serving, I've been praying
now I'm caught in misery.
I've been praised by friar Jakob,
I misused his confidence.
Cheated by this work of evil -
feigning Anna's innocence.
Oh what have I done?
So many ways lead to the fallen one,
Lucifer, fallen light...
Oh what have I done?
What is going on?
We should bring salvation,
not give in to his temptation - no!
Read and preach the holy world
and no forbidden lies that hurt.
I remember words of "seven".
Set me free - sanity!
[Lugaid:]
Reach out for the light
far beyond confines.
You have read the magic lines
leading to the light in your mind...
[Gabriel:]
What is right and what is wrong now?
Is it a trial of paradise?
Is Anna a witch or do they stick to an error?
What's the book and the seal inside?
Am I a cleric or maybe a sinner?
Unbeliever? Renegade?
Was it the devil who led me to "seven"?
Oh redeemer is it all too late?
Oh, what have I done?
I have been led by the smelling one,
Lucifer, fallen light...
Tell me stranger, what have I done?
Oh what's going on?
We should bring salvation,
not give in to his temptation - no!
Read and preach the holy world
and no forbidden lies that hurt.
I remember words of "seven".
Set me free - sanity!
[Lugaid:]
Reach out for the light
far beyond confines.
You have read the magic lines
leading to the light in your mind...
[Gabriel:]
...in your mind? Yeah - oh - yeah...
