Canciones para una vida - Majestica - Ghost Of Christmas Past

 

GHOST  OF  CHRISTMAS  PAST

Segundo paso de estos ya veteranos, (no por edad pero si por trayectoria).  músicos que en el pasado 2019 dieran un giro a su carrera, más que en lo compositivo y sonoro, en lo referente a intentar recomenzar, para lo cual, cambiaron su nombre a "Majestica" del anterior "Reinxeed". Igualmente parece que el peso compositivo cae sobre los hombros del músico Tommy Johansson, pero también se ve la versatilidad de los músicos que componen el grupo, con el desempeño vocal de todos y cada uno de ellos aparte de ocuparse de los diferentes instrumentos de propios. De igual manera se ve un acercamiento a un sonido hiper arreglado, muy en la onda de lo hecho por sus compatriotas "Twilight Force", quizá un tanto demasiado, pero es indudable del talento de estos chicos. El caso es que el cuatro de diciembre de este 2020, y aprovechando las fechas que vienen, han decidido editar un segundo album en plan navideño, con ese aire continuo a villancico que hará que desde su primera escucha tengas esa sensación tan familiar de conocer los temas. Como digo otra de las sensaciones que puedes tener es la de estar escuchando a "Twilight Force", al de sus discos posteriores al debut, así que si eres de los criticos con ese estilo esto definitivamente no es para tí. El caso es que hoy quiero dejar en el blog uno de los adelantos de este "A christmas Carol", concretamente "Ghost of Christmas Past", del que dejo un enlace a youtube de su clip oficial.

Let’s go back to where it started
Where my life was filled with peace
Though alone, my dad cold hearted
My sister Fan, made my darkness cease
Was left at school every Christmas evening
Then one day I found new meaning
When they would invite me home
Joyful, at ease – with family
With the news that Fanny died
I knew from this moment that I’m all alone
(He thinks his alone when there’s all around him others)
(That his lonely heart can’t see, it’s filled with greed)

Come and take my robe
We will fly away

Come with your robe, we fly away
To a time of jolly and gay
With the Ghost of Christmas Past
Here to help me find my way

Come with your robe, we fly away
To a time of jolly and gay
With the Ghost of Christmas Past
Here to help me find my way

On towards my glory days
Of working for a jolly man
Fezziwig, that kook, how he made us laugh and
Took us in with open arms
Dance ’til morning, singing, cheering
Christmas time was always steering
To a hope of better times
I still can recall that joyful night
When I met my love, my Belle
Wish for the rest of my time
That we could have made a life together

Come and take my robe
We will fly away

Come with your robe, we fly away
To a time of jolly and gay
With the Ghost of Christmas Past
Here to help me find my way

Come with your robe, we fly away
To a time of jolly and gay
With the Ghost of Christmas Past
Here to help me find my way

The hour strikes, it’s getting darker
Then I see a lonely man
Waiting for his true love Belle
Knowing that she won’t show up
She was my true love, I knew
But she had found herself someone new
Consumed by greed, his lust for wealth
Lost in his world, a tragic spell

Now I know what could have been
Should I regret that painful sin?
How I chose my own success
Before the only woman I have ever loved liked this

Come and take my robe
We will fly away

Come with your robe, we fly away
To a time of jolly and gay
With the help of the Ghost of the Christmas Past
To show me on my way

Come with your robe, we fly away
To a time of jolly and gay
With the Ghost of Christmas Past
Here to help me find my way
