FIRST IN LINE
Es curioso ver como las bandas que generan una gran repercusión, esas que están apoyadas en una exitosa trayectoria, recurren a su pasado más glorioso cuando les resulta útil, a pesar de que, como es el caso de los finaldeses "Sonata Arctica", hayan justificado una evolución a un sonido diferente con el argumento de que no iban a estar haciendo un "Ecliptica" continuamente. Estamos de acuerdo en que los músicos tienen todo el derecho de evolucionar hacia donde quieran, pero si su sonido se aleja en exceso de lo que era en un inicio, y de lo que les hizo cosechar un incontestable éxito, no deben extrañarse de la fuga de fans hacia terrenos más apropiados para sus oidos. Sonata Arctica a mi juicio ha abusado de cambio, se ha transformado demasiado, y ahora si recurren a un regreso a sus raices, no se si creer que se debe a una necesidad compositiva, o a una necesidad económica al ver las orejas al lobo. Sea como sea, desde la misma utilización del primer logo, a la promesa de muchos temas power en el proximo LP de 2024, el caso es que la palabra "Power" parece ser el centro de su promoción. En estos días nos dejan el primer adelanto en forma de single, "First In Line", del que dejo un enlace a youtube. Veremos hacia donde caminan al escuchar todo su nuevo material, desde luego al menos tienen que tener el beneficio de la duda aunque sea solo por la primera década llena de momentazos compositivos.

Once again we behold the future behind the cloud
It scares you
Grown as a beauty, stained with tainted paint
Once born is the last of us and the skies are fallen
Lead me
Into the brightest light, never-ending dawn
We'll build us a wonder, gone through the maze in days
In hindsight
Cloudy ahead, the skies always clear behind
We shall not scare the children
Cast our hope, beat us atop their joy of life
Every generation's every book
Every place is getting drawn on, hurt
But we can save this world if we move time slower
Every open window, we are giving to a child
That's how we buy ourselves out of time
We'll learn, all the world will burn
All the future is built on maybe, albeit the whitest of lies
White lies
They have the value, serving the purpose
When we guide our children, the future's blinding light
You can't leave, no
They hope one day you'll live in a lighthouse
We shall not scare the children
Cast our hope, beat us atop their joy of life
Every generation's every book
Every place is getting drawn on, hurt
But we can save this world if we move time slower
Every open window, we are giving to a child
That's how we buy ourselves out of time
We'll learn, all the world will burn
We bring rocks into the dark
In hopes they hit a mark
One day you'll know this blindness
The views and fears of the unknown
We hide what we don't know
But we should not tell you, there's a party in the black hole
Yet we don't know
Every generation's every book
Every place is getting drawn on, hurt
But we can save this world if we moved on slower
Every open window, we are handing to a child
That's how we buy ourselves out of time
We'll learn, all the world is burning
Every generation has a premise
In the circle getting drawn on, hurt
Yet we can save this world if we moved on slower
Can't let all the serious pull, maybe we should solve the problems
Now we're the first in line
This world like a plot, we'll let unwind
