FEW ARE THOSE
Poco que decir a estas alturas de una banda como Stratovarius, con una evolución a lo largo del tiempo en la que han pasado de unos inicios en que encabezaban el nuevo power europeo emergente, sobre todo en su Finlandia natal antes de la mega explosión de grupos punteros que se dio en dicho país, a comenzar a "zozobrar" con la final salida del principal impulsor del grupo durante muchos años Timo Tolkki, y el cambio progresivo de rol del grupo en la escena internacional. Siempre he visto la trayectoria del grupo desde la perspectiva de, al inicio ser un grupo fundamental dentro del género, una banda de "discos completos" a un papel más secundario en la última década y pico, claramente con una sensación de grupo "de canciones" concretas ya que una obra entera se me antoja actualmente demasiado homogenea y carente del suficiente filo. Quizá la formula Stratovarius haya sido ya demasiado explotada y tan solo los destellos más brillantes del grupo sea lo que, añadido a la innegable calidad de los músicos aquí implicados, haga que destaquen algunos temas del los últimos discos. Hoy quiero traer al blog una de esas canciones, concretamente una del último disco editado por la banda hasta la fecha de esta reseña, de su disco "Eternal", de 2015, décimo sexta obra de estudio del grupo, en una carrera musical que supera ya los 30 años de historia, y del que hoy quiero dejar un enlace a youtube de su tema "Few Are Those".
Don't fear the darkness
Let it find you if it must
Open the door and
Embrace the sadness
Pain won't stain you
It will only make you strong
Hurt won't haunt you
But lead you where you belong
Let your grief fade away
He's a guest, not here to stay
For one more day
Keep the flame, let it burn
Through the night let it shine
A light divine
For few are those who
See with their own eyes
Few who feel with their own hearts
And few are those who
Reach for the stars and
Few who do more than their part
Let the daylight wipe away your fears
For this is your life
And nothing can hold you back
Take a moment
Take a breath and start again
You're not broken
And it can't rain all the time
Keep the flame, let it burn
Through the night let it shine
A light divine
For few are those who
See with their own eyes
Few who feel with their own hearts
And few are those who
Reach for the stars and
Few who do more than their part
For few are those who
See with their own eyes
Few who feel with their own hearts
And few are those who
Reach for the stars and
Few who do more than their part
For few are those who
See with their own eyes
Few who feel with their own hearts
And few are those who
Reach for the stars and
Few who do more than their part
Let it find you if it must
Open the door and
Embrace the sadness
Pain won't stain you
It will only make you strong
Hurt won't haunt you
But lead you where you belong
Let your grief fade away
He's a guest, not here to stay
For one more day
Keep the flame, let it burn
Through the night let it shine
A light divine
For few are those who
See with their own eyes
Few who feel with their own hearts
And few are those who
Reach for the stars and
Few who do more than their part
Let the daylight wipe away your fears
For this is your life
And nothing can hold you back
Take a moment
Take a breath and start again
You're not broken
And it can't rain all the time
Keep the flame, let it burn
Through the night let it shine
A light divine
For few are those who
See with their own eyes
Few who feel with their own hearts
And few are those who
Reach for the stars and
Few who do more than their part
For few are those who
See with their own eyes
Few who feel with their own hearts
And few are those who
Reach for the stars and
Few who do more than their part
For few are those who
See with their own eyes
Few who feel with their own hearts
And few are those who
Reach for the stars and
Few who do more than their part
