Hello Viewers,
Being of a certain age (58 3/4) i don’t have much knowledge of heavy metal bands. But MAL suggested i check out this song and i really really like it. The lyrics and melody are soulful and moving.
It fits in my blog because its content follows my content which is to take a look at ourselves and see how conscious, or unconscious, we are at this moment in time and space.
lyrics are below the video.
want to know more about this song ? http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=2652
Aerials (lyrics)
Life is a waterfall,
We’re one in the river,
And one again after the fall.
Swimming through the void
We hear the word,
We lose ourselves,
But we find it all?
Cause we are the ones that want to play,
Always want to go,
But you never want to stay,
And we are the ones that want to choose,
Always want to play,
But you never want to lose.
Aerials, in the sky,
When you lose small mind,
You free your life.
Life is a waterfall,
We drink from the river,
Then we turn around and put up our walls.
Swimming through the void
We hear the word,
We lose ourselves,
But we find it all?
Cause we are the ones that want to play,
Always want to go,
But you never want to stay,
And we are the ones that want to choose,
Always want to play,
But you never want to lose.
Aerials, in the sky,
When you lose small mind,
You free your life.
Aerials, so up high,
When you free your eyes,
Eternal prize.
Aerials, in the sky,
When you lose small mind,
You free your life.
Aerials, so up high,
When you free your eyes,
Eternal prize.
LIfe is like a waterfall…swimming to the void… I could do without the electric guitar. Hey, are you playing with your header? First it was a cat, now a rainbow? What’s going on? Surreal…. 😀
Speaking of header photos, I am going to email my friend a link to your site so she can see what an awesome photo you took in spain. she travels to europe sometimes and also is an amateur photographer.
The other song is http://youtu.be/iywaBOMvYLI I had the title wrong
thank you for looking this up. it is a little too heavy mental for someone 3 generations old, i like Aerials more. tell me what you like about this song? maybe i missed something that would change my mind.
Age has nothing to do with what sounds you like to hear. I like the music and lyrics, the way they are performed. Then again, I like all metal music which I know is not going to be much to your liking 😉
ha ha, i wrote “heavy mental” instead of “heavy metal”
you are right about my taste in music which is more towards classical and harmonized ballad type stuff (mellow).
but i appreciate all art and artists regardless of my own tastes.
thanks for introducing me to system of a down
You could try apocolyptica
Sorry, misspelled that: http://youtu.be/zf2aIVKp1OY
interesting. i liked it because of it’s strangeness. cellos played like never before. art is endless.
Check some of their other videos, perhaps Gothica as well. You might like some of the symphonic gothic metal… it’s very interesting. Much of it based on symphonic music styles rather than on blues like rock n roll and main stream heavy metal. There is a band called Blackmores Night http://youtu.be/0pSYRLZj8xs
The guitarist is one of my all time favorite metal guitar heroes: Ritchie Blackmore. He played with Deep Purple and Rainbow… helped define a metal genre. You might like some of his latest efforts
i will check these out. you seem to know a lot about music and it’s roots. that is very cool. symphonic metal, interesting concept
I’ve had a great interest in music from early teens. Not playing it, but listening. It calms the savage beast… I must be one.
Hi Perpetua – I have learned how to use random photos in my header so I have about 20 of them going. Thanks for noticing. Guess I’m somewhat restless. Still having problems getting onto my blog?
