Sand & Mercury

Sleepy buildings

Este disco o album de The Gathering me trae muchos recuerdos, irónicamente su título va muy adhoc con tales, pues coincidió con la época en que me daba por manejar en la noche, comprar un six y beber dicho six de cervezas en el mirador de la carretera libre a Cuernavaca mientras escuchaba la música, luego despertarme al alba y regresar manejando a la casa de mi mamá para alistarme a ir  a trabajar.

The mirror waters 21 & 22

Slowly... Flying silent
Touching the wind as it sadly sings... for me
Aging on the outside
With my youth in my empty hands
Lost all that I was living for, live no longer
Couldn't resist looking in his eyes
I saw myself, tears were falling
The seas in his eyes reflected my old age
Youth grows old, like winter follows spring
Faster... Falling kingdom
Dancers on winter winds, they dance... for me
Nature's ways
Life can't always be contolled
Controlled by fear
Scared of the months and years, fear no longer
Time leaves its mark
The years come but never go
Masked is my face
The mask of age will fall, hide no longer
Couldn't resist looking in his eyes
burning charcoals that remind me alive
his pure smile that shines me in love
I saw myself, tears were falling
The seas in his eyes reflected my old age
Youth grows old, like winter follows spring

If then else

Otro impresionante album de The Gathering

Nighttime birds

Las noches en este hemisferio son cortas y pareciera que los cuervos no duermen, aguardan, croan, los magpies cantan poemas secretos entre ellos y los bluejays roban nueces a la vecina, así la semana empieza y finaliza el mes.

The mirror waters

Quizás una de las rolas favoritas del autor de este blog y su parafernalia del grupo The Gathering es la de The mirror waters, en particular si la canta Anneke. Releyendo la letra y con lo que he estado pensando ultimamente creo que cuando la escuchaba hace 11 años estaba previendo lo que ahora siento: "Youth grows old, like winter follows spring"

Slowly... Flying silent
Touching the wind as it sadly sings... for me
Aging on the outside
With my youth in my empty hands
Lost all that I was living for, live no longer
Couldn't resist looking in her eyes
I saw myself, tears were falling
The seas in her eyes reflected my old age
Youth grows old, like winter follows spring
Faster... Falling kingdom
Dancers on winter winds, they dance... for me
Nature's ways
Life can't always be contolled
Controlled by fear
Scared of the months and years, fear no longer
Time leaves its mark
The years come but never go
Masked is my face
The mask of age will fall, hide no longer
Couldn't resist looking in her eyes
I saw myself, tears were falling
The seas in her eyes reflected my old age
Youth grows old, like winter follows spring

Blutengel, The Gathering y hace más de 10 años

El mundo cambia terriblemente y a veces creo que uno se queda enamorado del mundo que era antes. Una de las cosas que disfrutaba era ir al mirador de Cuernavaca y beber bastante cerveza mientras uno veia la ciudad al fondo y la oscuridad relativa le cubría a uno, sin duda la música era parte de tla rutina.








Si les interesa obtener el album de how to measure a planet de aquí lo pueden hacer.

Mandylion

Cuando escucho The Gathering se arremolinan muchos recuerdos, incluso siento el olor de la lluvia y la tierra en la madrugada yendo por la carretera libre a Cuernavaca para detenerme en el mirador a beber varias cervezas mientras los hojas escurren y la bruma de la madrugada se arremolina.

I close your eyes with my mouth
Now you don't see anything
But you feel my breath all over
I can feel you too

Although I don't really know you
I don't really care

Cry with me make my day
Tomorrow all will be gone
All the sweetness and all the fun
No, I don't wanna know...

Although I don't really know you
I don't really care

Now that you're gone I don't know
How to really feel inside
Baring the hope to see you again
I guess I never will

Now that I do really know you
Yes, I really care

Black Light District

Claroscuros en la existencia, sinoidales que me acosan y desfasan



Blaming global infection
for the illness in him
Little knowledge of the non-affection
between him and his kin
Old, grey, bitter, anxious and collapsed
Like a wallflower once blooming
Withered to apparent death
Blaming the guilt
Crying the tears
Torture the pain
Leaving the emptiness behind
Apparently he had no reason
To harbour the trust
He'd forsaken inside.
Apparently he left his reasons
Forsaken the trust
that harboured within
Walk, I cannot walk
For I am blind, blinded I am
By the pitch of dark, so dark is it
The narrow street, never ending narrow
Clogs my throat
Silently I try,
Try to walk, blinded by the pitch
The narrow darkness, clogs the street
I am speechless
I am speechless
Fear puts a rush on my steps
As I stare into the spinning depth
The end is not near the sight that I am hoping for
And all the light that paves the way for me
Is the wish and will for the end to see
The bright light is the end of the black light district

Sinoidal.

De nuevo he retomado uno de mis grupos favoritos de épocas modernas: THE GATHERING...



Os recomiendo escucharlo a pura leña o bueno con volumen alto... en un mirador con unas cervezas a las 2 o 3 de la mañana.

The Mirror Waters

4. The Mirror Waters

Slowly... Flying silent
Touching the wind as it sadly sings... for me.

Aging on the outside
With my youth in my empty hands
Lost all that I was living for, live no longer

Couldn't resist looking in her eyes
I saw myself, tears were falling
The seas of her eyes reflected my old age
Youth grows old, like winter follows spring

Faster... Falling kingdom
Dancers on winter winds,
they dance... for me

Nature's ways
Life can't always be controlled
Controlled by fear
Scared of months and years, fear no longer

Time leaves it's mark
The years come but never go
Masked is my face
The mask of age will fall, hide no longer

Couldn't resist looking in her eyes
I saw myself, tears were falling
The seas of her eyes reflected my old age
Youth grows old, like winter follows spring

My electricity

4. My Electricity

I send your name
up into the sky
And the wind blows it back into my face

You see, even nature
reacts on me
And all my electricity
will make it across your sea

With every wave the sea makes
My body gets weaker
and weaker.... and weaker..

You see, even nature
reacts on me
And all my electricity
will make it across your sea

And provides you
with my love
