Nightwish' Imaginaerum
Today I got my copy of latest Nightwish' single: "Storytime". (yay~)
First to say I had to buy it from internet because I couldn't find it in any store so maybe it hasn't been released here... I don't know and right now i don't really care cuz as I said: I have my own copy in all my mighty power!!
Storytime (Lyrics)`Twas the night before
When all through the world
No words, no dreams, then one day
A writer by a fire
Imagined all Gaia
Took a journey into a child-man`s heart
A painter on the shore
Imagined all the world
Within a snowflake on his palm
Unframed by poetry
A canvas of awe
Planet Earth falling back into the stars
I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real
Every memory that you hold dear
I am the journey
I am the destination
I am the home
The tale that reads you
A way to taste the night
The elusive high
Follow the madness
Alice, you know once did
Imaginarium
A dream emporium
Caress the tales
And they will dream you real
A storyteller`s game
Lips that intoxicate
The core of all life is a limitless chest of tales
I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real
Every memory that you hold dear
I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
Searching heavens for another Earth
And second, I want to comment something that made me wear a WTF-face for a long long time:
Did you know Nightwish is now a POP band?
No, I'm not giving my opinion... actually I do not consider them a Pop-band at all, but when I was about to buy the "STORYTIME" I noticed it was labeled as: "Single / POP"
Weird, uh?... yes! totally weird!!
But then I started to compare (again) Nightwish's pre-Tarja and post-Tarja Eras and I came to the conclusion that Ms. Olzon is to blame for this labeling.
Not that she doesn't have a good voice, because she does sing very well and there's nothing else to say about it. But she doesn't seem to fit Nightwish: either her voice pitch is too high or her singing style is too standard so can be taken as pop. Why I say this? Because when I listened to the Instrumental version of "Storytime" I was able to feel the old Nightwish sound again after all these years: It was the same band from ANGELS FALL FIRST, OCEANBORN, WISHMASTER, CENTURYCHILD and my beloved ONCE, it was the same band hidden behind a high pitch voice.
Maybe, because of Ms. Anette Olzon's voice, Nightwish has now become a POP BAND...
Or maybe I just miss Tarja's Era and the whole issue of labeling was just a typo mistake.
Anyways, the promotional clip is awesome and I'm still extremelly happy with my own copy.
see ya!
