새로운 나이트위시(Nightwish) 체제의 출발, Endless Forms Most Beatiful

(PC로 보시면 위젯으로 올린 음악을 들으실 수 있습니다^^)

이번에 소개해드릴 앨범은...

핀란드의 세계적인 심포닉 메탈 밴드 나이트위시(Nightwish)의 8번째 앨범,

Endless Forms Most Beautiful (2015.03.27) 입니다!

나이트위시의 음악은 

메탈음악에 사용되는 기본적인 요소들에 켈틱악기, 특히 일리언 파이프와 휘슬이 추가되어

어두우면서도 신비로운, 몽환적인,

마치 어두운 분위기의 판타지를 보고있는 듯한 느낌이 들게 하는 게 특징!!

무척 바이킹스럽습니다ㅋㅋㅋ

하지만, 타르야 투루넨의 탈퇴 이후 아네트 올즌을 거쳐 지금의 플로어 얀센에 이르기까지

여성 보컬 멤버가 굉장히 다양하게 바뀌었는데요.

이번 앨범은 새 여성보컬 플로어 얀센의 첫 앨범이자

일리언 파이프를 비롯해 다양한 악기를 연주하던 트로이 도노클리를 영입한 첫 앨범이기도 합니다^^

이름하야 새로운 나이트위시 체제의 출범!! 이랄까요? ㅎㅎ

가운데에 카리스마 쩔게 생기신 언니가

새로 영입된 여성보컬 플로어 얀센입니다 ㅎㅎ

이번 앨범도 다른 앨범과 마찬가지로

Deluxe 앨범엔 instumental 버전과 orchestral 버전이 수록되어있는데요~

시간이 나신다면 아래 사이트에 들르셔서 무료로!! 들어보시는 걸 강.추.!! 드립니다^^

저는 원래 경음악을 좋아하는 사람이라

아 미치겠더라구요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

메탈을 싫어하시는 분들이라도 부담없이 들으실 수 있을 거라고 자신있게 말씀드릴 수 있습니다!

특히 Orchestral은 마치 게임음악 같다니깐요?

자, 이제 앨범 트랙을 소개해드릴게요~

#	곡목	위젯	추천곡(빨간 칸)과 개인평
1	Shudder Before The Beatiful
2	Weak Fantasy
3	Élan		저번 싱글 타이틀곡이고 가장 안정적인 곡이지만, 플로어의 목소리에서 좀더 박력이 느껴졌으면 하는 곡입니다.
4	Yours Is An Empty Hope
5	Our Decades In the Sun
6	My Walden		경음악을 좋아하는 사람이라면 다양한 악기의 독주가 등장하는 간주가 마음에 드실겁니다.
7	Endless Forms Most Beautiful		타이틀이자 나이트위시스러운 곡이랄까요?
8	Edema Ruh		이번 앨범에서 가장 서정적이고 완성도도 높고 심지어는 대중적이기까지한 곡입니다.
9	Alpenglow		이번 앨범 트랙 중에서  가장 플로어의 목소리와 어울리는 곡인 듯 합니다.
10	The Eyes Of Sharbat Gula
11	The Greatest Show On Earth		23분 정도 되는 음악이지만, 시간가는 줄 모르고 듣게되는 곡입니다.

이번 앨범을 이야기하면서

3번트랙에 수록된 곡이자, 이번 앨범이 발매되기 얼마 전에 발매된 

Élan의 뮤직 비디오를 안 보고 넘어갈 순 없겠죠 ㅎㅎ

재즈바 같은데서 노래하는 장면이 제 Favorite 장면!! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

흠흠..

마지막으로...

추천해드린 곡들 가사 올리면서 포스팅 마무리하도록 하겠습니닷!!

Élan

Leave the sleep and let the springtime talk

In tongues from the time before man

Listen to a daffodil tell her tale

Let the guest in, walk out, be the first to greet the morn

The meadows of heaven await harvest

The cliffs unjumped, cold waters untouched

The elsewhere creatures yet unseen

Finally your number came up, free fall awaits the brave

Come

Taste the wine

Race the blind

They will guide you from the light

Writing noughts till the end of time

Come

Surf the clouds

Race the dark

It feeds from the runs undone

Meet me where the cliff greets the sea

The answer to the riddle before your eyes

Is in dead leaves and fleeting skies

Returning swans and sedulous mice

Writings on the garden's book

In the minute of a lover's look

Building a sandcastle close to the shore

A house of cards from a worn out deck

A home from the fellowship, poise and calm

Write a lyric for the song only you can understand

Riding hard every shooting star

Come to life, open mind, have a laugh at the orthodox

Come, drink deep let the dam of mind seep

Travel with great élan, dance a jig at the funeral

Come!

My Walden

Sain y niwl,

Gaunt y goydwig fwsog,

Gwenithfaen, cen y coed, a'r lleuad,

Un gway f'adenydd I dapestri bywyd

Light shines bright beyond all the cities of gold

On a road of birdsong and chocolate shops

Of buskers, jugglers, innkeeper`s welcoming call

The sound of mist, smell of moss-grown woods

Weaving my wings from many-colored yarns

Flying higher, higher, higher

Into the wild

Weaving my world into tapestry of life

Its fire golden

In my Walden

I will taste the manna in every tree

Liquid honey and wine from the distant hills

An early morning greenwood concerto

Greets my Walden with its eternal voice 

Weaving my wings from many-colored yarns

Flying higher, higher, higher

Into the wild

Weaving my world into tapestry of life

Its fire golden

In my Walden

Weaving my wings from many-colored yarns

Flying higher, higher, higher,

higher,higher,higher, higher, higher, higher

I do not wish to evade the world

Yet I will forever build my own

Forever build my own

Forever my home

Endless Forms Most Beautiful

Come on, hop on, let’s take a ride

Come and meet the travelers who came to town

They have a tale from the past to tell

From the great dark between the stars

We are a special speck of dust

A fleeting moment on an ark 

A celebration, A resthaven

Of life

Lay on a field of green

With mother Eve

With father pine reaching high

Look at yourself in the eyes of aye-aye 

Unfolding rendezvous

Deep into the past

Follow the aeon path

Greet a blade of grass

Every endless form most beautiful

Alive, aware, in awe

Before the grandeur of it all

Our floating pale blue ark 

Of endless forms most beautiful

Beyond aeons we take a ride 

Welcoming the shrew that survived

To see the Tiktaalik take her first walk

Witness the birth of flight

Deeper down in Panthalassa

A eukaryote finds her way

We return to the very first one

Greet the one we’ll soon become

Lay on a field of green

With mother Eve

With father pine reaching high

Look at yourself in the eyes of aye-aye 

Unfolding rendezvous

Deep into the past

Follow the aeon path

Greet a blade of grass

Every endless form most beautiful

Alive, aware, in awe

Before the grandeur of it all

Our floating pale blue ark 

Of endless forms most beautiful

Deep into the past

Follow the aeon path

Greet a blade of grass

Every endless form most beautiful

Alive, aware, in awe

Before the grandeur of it all

Our floating pale blue ark 

Of endless forms most beautiful

Edema Ruh

One by one we light the candles of this show

One by one, enter the theatre of the primal birth

Silently watch the planetary curtain go down

Laugh and rejoice, as the powerful play greets you tonight 

We are the Edema Ruh

We know the songs the sirens sang

See us dream every tale true

The verse we leave with you will take you home

We’ll give you a key to open all of the gates

We’ll show you a sea of starlight to drown all your cares 

Mirrorhouses, the sweetest kisses and wines 

A Debussy dialogue between wind and the roaring sea

We are the Edema Ruh

We know the songs the sirens sang

See us dream every tale true

The verse we leave with you will take you home

Dance to the whistle, to the play, to the story

To infinite encores

Laugh at the royalty with sad crowns

And repeat the chorus once more

We are the Edema Ruh

We know the songs the sirens sang

See us dream every tale true

The verse we leave with you will take you home

We are the Edema Ruh

We know the songs the sirens sang

See us dream every tale true

The verse we leave with you will take you home

Alpenglow

Once upon a time a song was heard

Giving birth to a child of earth and verse

Together we slay another fright

Every Jubjub bird, spooks of the past

Close your eyes and take a peek

The truth is easy to see 

We were here

Roaming on the endless prairie

Writing an endless story

Building a Walden of our own

We were here

Grieving the saddened faces

Conquering the darkest places

Time to rest now and to finish the show

And become the Music, one with alpenglow

Hand in hand guiding me into light

You, the fairytale guise in blue and white

Together we slay another fright

Every Jubjub bird, spooks of the past

Close your eyes and take a peek

The truth is easy to see 

We were here

Roaming on the endless prairie

Writing an endless story

Building a Walden of our own

We were here

Grieving the saddened faces

Conquering the darkest places

Time to rest now and to finish the show

And become the Music, one with alpenglow

You are my path my home my star

A beautiful tale within the tale

And when the dust needs to move on

I will tuck us in on a bed of snow

Painting white, silencing the valley we built

Together we’ll sleep 

Devoured by Life 

We were here

Roaming on the endless prairie

Writing an endless story

Building a Walden of our own

We were here

Grieving the saddened faces

Conquering the darkest places

Time to rest now and to finish the show

And become the Music, one with alpenglow

We were here

Roaming on the endless prairie

Writing an endless story

Building a Walden of our own

We were here

Grieving the saddened faces

Conquering the darkest places

Time to rest now and to finish the show

And become the Music, one with alpenglow

The Greatest Show On Earth

1.) Four Point Six

Archaean horizon

The first sunrise

On a pristine Gaea

Opus perfectum 

Somewhere there, us sleeping

2.) Life

The cosmic law of gravity 

Pulled the newborns around a fire

A careless, cold infinity in every vast direction

Lonely farer in the Goldilocks zone

She has a tale to tell 

From the stellar nursery into a carbon feast

Enter LUCA

*The tapestry of chemistry

There’s a writing in the garden

Leading us to the Mother of all

#We are one

We are a universe

Forbears of what will be

Scions of the Devonian sea

Aeons pass 

Writing the tale of us all

A day-to-day new opening

For the greatest show on Earth#*

Ion channels welcoming the outside world 

To the stuff of stars 

Bedding the tree of a biological holy 

Enter life

REPEAT *

We are here to care for the garden

The wonder of birth

Of every form most beautiful

Every form most beautiful

REPEAT #

3.) The Toolmaker

After a billion years

The show is still here

Not a single one of your fathers died young

The handy travelers

Out of Africa

Little Lucy of the Afar 

Gave birth to fantasy

To idolatry

To self-destructive weaponry

Enter the god of gaps

Deep within the past

Atavistic dread of the hunted

Enter Ionia, the cradle of thought

The architecture of understanding

The human lust to feel so exceptional

To rule the Earth

Hunger for shiny rocks

For giant mushroom clouds

The will to do just as you’d be done by

Enter history, the grand finale

Enter Ratkind

^Man, he took his time in the sun

Had a dream to understand

A single grain of sand

He gave birth to poetry

But one day’ll cease to be

Greet the last light of the library^

REPEAT ^

We were here!

We were here!

We were here!

We were here!

4.) The Understanding

5.) Sea-Worn Driftwood
