Vanden Plas - Far Off Grace

 

FAR  OFF  GRACE 

Otra banda de esas de toda la vida, pero de las que se han quedado tradicionalmente en un segundo plano a pesar del consenso entre los consumidores de su sonido de que la calidad nunca ha sido el problema. Estos alemanes, Vanden Plas,  se forman a mitad de la década de los ochenta y a pesar de haber mantenido una actividad continuada en el tiempo, desde 1994 en que publican su debut 12 LP's de estudio podrían antojarse una discografía algo corta, pero es que otra de las cosas que les caracteriza es su irregularidad al publicar discos, con periodos de intensa actividad, (tres discos en tres años por ejemplo), y otros de desaparición (cuatro años sin novedades en lo que a LP's se refiere). Su sonido siempre ha bordeado el sonido progresivo, y en este 2026 publican su duodécimo LP titulado "AcCult II", oficialmente este pasado 12 de junio, que es una visita a su propio sonido pero desde una perspectiva acústica. Hoy dejo en el blog su single "Far Off Grace", originalmente publicado en 1999 para su disco "Far from Grace" y del que hoy dejo en el blog esta versión de 2026.

On the way you start to go
Where the morning meets the light
All the reasons washed ashore
To foreign lands
Where you want to go
Where you want to rise
Innovation see the coexistent world

Now you're sailing
To the edge yonder the waves
To the place he'd left behind
And you're speaking
To the voices of the sea
Why he had to leave
Still you have to stay

What do you know?
Where do we go?
We are born to stay
Here, far off grace

And a crayfish is the lord
Of the characters I meet
In the deep and healing oceans
So divine
All the essences I face
They were singing me the song
About the meaning
And the reasons that he's gone

Full of wisdom are the images they told
And salvation saves the soul
Everyday we're searching
For this foreign place
Where I have to go
And where you want to stay

What do you know?
Where do we go?
We are born to stay
Here, far off grace

Waiting for the dawn
Morning meets the light
Wash me to the shore
Into a land I left behind
Sailing to the edge
Leaving with the tide
Searching for a place
Where you will never be left alone
Hear the serenade
Makes you understand
Why you had to stay and I fade away

What do you know?
Where do we go?
We are born to stay
Here, far off grace

What do you know?
Where do we go?
We are born to stay
Here, far off grace

What do you know?
Where do we go?
We are born to stay
Here, far off grace
