Dark Divas - XXIII

Katarina Lilja

(ex-Sobre Nocturne; Therion)

Eu e a minha memória temos uma relação muito especial! De facto na altura em que fiz a referência a Lori Lewis devia ter referido logo de seguida a Katarina. Ontem, ao ouvir algumas das músicas de Therion durante a viagem, resolvi colmatar essa falha. A música que escolhi, para mim, das melhores do álbum a que pertence. Em tempos usei esse nick name no msn até!!

The Perennial Sophia

Enter paradise, the snake will find the way
She is Lilith, fallen from the sky
Fall into our world, the Snake of paradise
(You're the) Maid of Wisdom in (the) songs of Orpheus

She's the wisdom, she's the truth: The Eternal Sophia
Perennial, beyond the time, she is the one
You're the river, you're the womb
The perennial
The Sophia

Sophia is here
do we need to fear?
She's the gem of (the) mind
... (or the) serpent for the blind
She will make me see
or she will punish me
She appear in a glare
or disappear

She's the wisdom, she's the truth: The Eternal Sophia
Perennial, beyond the time, she is the one
You're the river, you're the womb
The perennial
The Sophia

Shekinah, Shekinah
Eternal Sophia
Shekinah, Shekinah
Eternal Sophia

She's the wisdom, she's the truth: The Eternal Sophia
Perennial, beyond the time, she is the one
You're the river, you're the womb
The perennial
(The) Sophia...
Sophia...

It's coming :D

Novo álbum de Opeth hehehe!! Mikael anunciou em pleno VOA 2011 e fiquei contente pela novidade! Já estou ansiosa por adquirir mais um belo trabalho aposto. E já dá que falar começando pela capa do álbum.

É favor escutar o primeiro avanço do álbum :))

Novo álbum de Draconian

Novo trabalho dos suecos, com este vídeo de promoção. Estranhei! Será que se vai entranhar? A ouvir com mais calma amanhã...por agora vou fazer-me útil nas próximas 8 horas.

Black is the sunlight shimmering below;

it flows through life and the guilt we share

Our sorrow, it cuts through the undergrowth,

as we abandon this ravenous Earth alone

The zeitgeist dimmed the surface and seized the soul

Our Mother wept behind the fence,

and we drained her blood, then forgetting her face,

and hide from everyone…

to breathe, to conquer,

to linger, to utilize the ignorant herd

In rapture from nature we divorce,

like orphans by desire,

from this closing light

The bewildered sleep -

the shadowy voyager is lurking;

he's in the flesh of landscapes vaporous

The vacant, untiring Sovran of old…

He's the machinery; igniting the paralyzed soil

We took the blood of the earth

and fell in love with death

with life itself as an excuse

Black is the sunlight shimmering below;

it flows through life and the guilt we share

We're hiding in chorus as starry eyes close,

and seasons part in farewell;

'cause we drained her blood, then forgetting her face

to hide from everyone

The bewildered sleep -

the shadowy voyager is lurking;

he's in the flesh of landscapes vaporous

The vacant, untiring Sovran of old…

He's the machinery; igniting the paralyzed soil

Factory of Dreams

A crowded world
Hopeless and greedy
Actors playing a role
In this Dark City

A star among a trillion ones
And I see you everyday
In my hopes and dreams
And I wake up in a scream

Chorus I

I see you everyday
In my dreams so deep
But I can't find the way
I just wanna go back to sleep
Back to Sleep

Chorus II

Oh how I wish
To hold you in my arms
How I wish
To stay with you
Oblivious to the world outside
Don't let me go
Don't let me fall
Into the Abyss
Keep me inside forever

I'm looking for you
Within the Constellation
I want you, need you
Save me from Desperation

Wanna show you a new World
Visit Galaxies afar
New Dimensions to behold
Jumping from Star to Star

I dreamt of your eyes
My fatal addiction
But I don't know who you are
And I can't seem to reach you

Don't ever wake me my dear
I have chosen my place
Why can't I make it real
Why can't I make you stay
By my side

Chorus I and II

Vou mesmo perder Katatonia :(

Que vida cruel...eu acho e estou convicta que no meu moroso processo de recuperação merecia estar presente nesta noite. Tanto que, ainda não tive oportunidade de os ver ao vivo:

Nem mesmo a Lisboa posso ir :( lá vou eu ficar a remoer mas a desejar ardentemente que o concerto seja tão espectacular que a banda queira já propiciar um retorno!!!

Bem, vou ter que me contentar com vídeos do youtube e provavelmente a minha amada Diana vai-me tecer um looongo comentário de como eles foram geniais e únicos. Suecos dum catano!!!

Day and Then The Shade

My Twin

Unfurl

Ghost of the Sun

"Tell me of progress strengthen my blood
No one here knows my name
I have traded my memories for things"

('Omerta' in Viva Emptiness)

Dark Divas - XII

Lisa Johansson

Draconian

(Caos Emergente, 2009)

Lisa é a vocalista feminina de uma banda de referência dentro do doom metal. A foto em cima foi tirada por mim num concerto que aguardava com muita expectativa. Não existem muitas músicas em que possamos tê-la a solo mas ficam aqui as sugestões:

Death, Come near me

A Slumber did my spirit seal (poem by William Wordsworth)

Akherousia

Bloodflower

"Another day will go astray, 

Another tear in this life so gray. 

If you ever saw me smile you should know I felt sick inside"

('Daylight Misery' in Arcane Rain Fell)

Dark Divas - VII

Annlouice Loegdlund

Diablo Swing Orchestra

Esta banda é sem dúvida uma lufada de ar fresco, sem no entanto, perder a essência clássica /rock / jazz...

Tem em Annlouice o pináculo da volumptuosidade ao arrebatar as músicas com um fervor típico das grandes intérpretes operáticas.
