Solta o Play: Avantasia - Let the Storm Descend Upon You

Aqui o trabalho é real, mesmo no dia da mentira. Afinal, pode faltar tudo na segunda-feira, menos o seu empurrão musical para começar a semana. Chegamos ao terceiro mês de especial, depois de curtir fevereiro ao som de Ivete sangalo. Em março veio o pop anos 90 na voz delas. Em abril? Um tema besta e ótimo: grandes músicas grandes. Literalmente.

Afinal, abril é o mês de um grande filme, tanto pela expectativa, quanto pelo tamanho da produção - Vingadores: Ultimato. Vamos então abrir a semana com um dos meus projetos favoritos: Avantasia. Mais exatamente, vamos voltar em 2016 e babar com a perfeição musical de "Let the Storm Descend Upon You".

Passaram os anos e tem coisa de heavy metal que eu não aguento/consigo mais ouvir. Entretanto, é sempre muito bom quando paro e ouço um pouco das patacoadas do Tobias Sammet. Muito amor e memórias envolvidas, umas levemente traumáticas que eu superei. Em fevereiro desse ano saiu mais um álbum do Avantasia - Moonglow. Fica a fica, claro.

Por aqui, "Let the Storm Descend Upon You" vem do álbum Ghostlights, que dividiu os sentimentos entre bons e não-sou-capaz-de-opinar. Não é um álbum que eu ouço na íntegra, embora nenhum álbum do Avantasia eu faço isso de fato. Mas temos músicas ótimas, além dessa as minhas favoritas são "Draconian Love", "Mystery of a Blood Red Rose" e "Unchain the Light".

Já o nosso som justifica o adjetivo de "metal opera" do Avantasia: tem melodia, é épico, pesado e bastante orquestral. É uma grande história, mas cantada. E é material da melhor qualidade! Então pode soltar o play sem medo, mas fique com a gente um pouco mais

Recado dado, solte o play para viajar no universo desse louco do Tobias, melhor pessoa.

Letra

[Tobias Sammet as Aaron Blackwell]

I'm smothered by your lucid nothing

I can't hear and touch and see

But I feel it

Though I can't believe it

Like master of the observation

Coming up with an explanation

There's no need

Making use of the spirit

[Jorn Lande as Temptation]

We can give you answers

You are dying to receive

Keep on dreaming

Keep on screaming

Yeah

You might be getting too much

For your beating heart to take

Your flesh is malice

Prepare your chalice

Light

Breathe and sleep tight

Will you defy intriguing ghostlights

Seeing through all lies

And foolish warnings

[Tobi/Aaron]

There ain't no return

[Ronnie Atkins as Magician]

Never light the darkness

It may burn your soul away

As you'll been seeing

What you've thought you're dreaming

[Jorn/Temptation]

Never open doors if you don't

Dare to walk on through

It maybe you're vault

Now it's all your fault

[Ronnie/Magician]

Light

You're off to the light

Will you defy all evil ghostlights

Tell the truth from decoration

[Robert Mason as Scientist I]

Time, don't waste no time

Prevail against the hands

That tick your flesh away

Now delve into your own reflection

Oh, you know that's where I've been too

There's nothing but a void out

For the sanity of fools

[Jorn/Temptation]

Shine your light into the darkness

And let the storm descend upon you

And I will make you mine

Shine your light into the darkness

Behold ant let aurora fall upon you

Oh, Let the storm descend upon you

[Tobi/Aaron]

Journey to the other side

It's just a trip and pleasure ride

And I don't know

But does it really matter

[Jorn/Temptation]

I am he who's always been

Who dares to know what can't be seen

I'm illusion or truth

I'm confusion, yeah

[Ronnie/Magician]

Light

Bring me the light

[Tobi/Aaron]

I will bring out certainty on a silver plate

Like a mantle piece

I will wipe out darkness

Night

Blessed is the night

Till there's no time left to spill

To save and kill

To take and seize

You just drift along

Are they reflections of some crazy dream

Or maybe the backside of reality

[Ronnie/Magician]

Shine your light into the darkness

And let the storm descend upon you

And I will make you mine

Shine your light into the darkness

Behold and let aurora fall upon you

Let the storm descend upon you

[Robert/Scientist I]

You gotta pray you're God

Ain't just a ghost light

You gotta pray you won't

Be falling down the wayside

Let it carry you away

Cut the gem until it's purified away

The candle burning to the ground

[Tobi/Aaron]

I don't see nothing but addiction to the ride

That kindles everything around

[Ronnie/Magician]

For all the world we'll see it

Tower to the stars

And all is melting into one

[Robert/Scientist I]

We'll give them something

To fall back on everytime

They're too strung out to run

[Tobi/Aaron]

Every moment, every heartbeat, every breath

Leaves you one less to your last

[Robert/Scientist I]

Still you cherish

Every second of the game

Give me the future

You take the past

[Ronnie/Magician]

And what if God is just

An image in the mind

A reflection of the will

[Robert/Scientist I]

And what's the matter with a lie

You live in harmony with

For a sucker for the thrill

[Tobi/Aaron]

I pray the lord ain't just a

Ghostlight in my mind

A reflection of the will

Let the storm descend upon me

Let aurora fall upon me

[Jorn/Temptation]

Let the fire fall upon him

Let the fire purify him

Never judge a thing you see

It's only what your mortal eyes

Will want it to be

Oh, bring it on

Let the dark inhale the confusion

Spit out a conclusion

[Tobi/Aaron]

Are they reflections or a memory

Or just reflections in a crazy dream

[Jorn/Temptation]

Shine your light into the darkness

And let the storm descend upon you

[Ronnie/Magician]

And I will make you mine

[Jorn/Temptation]

Shine your light into the darkness

[Robert/Scientist I]

Behold and let aurora fall upon you

[Ronnie/Magician]

Shine your light into the darkness

[Jorn/Temptation]

Into the darkness

[Ronnie/Magician]

And let the storm descend upon you

Then I will make you mine

[Robert/Scientist I]

Shine your light into the darkness

[Jorn/Temptation]

Into the darkness

[Ronnie/Magician]

Behold and let aurora fall upon you

Oh, Let the storm descend upon you

[Jorn/Temptation]

Let the storm descend upon you

Oh, descend upon you, yeah
