Rating: Hello everyone, beautiful and not-so-beautiful.. This is my first Un-review so if it totally stinks, please forgive me or... maybe not...
Anyway, while flipping through the reviews I was a bit surprised to find that there were albums from Europe but not the wings of tomorrow... I mean... before listening to this album, I wasn't much of a believer in Europe. Okay, I had only listened to the famous final countdown and yes, it's a nice song but I dunno... it seemed a bit too... too... commercial... like a one-hit-wonder band...
As I prepared to insert the CD into my player I didn't expect much... I thought: there's not even "the final countdown"... who knows, it might be the usual songs from an '80s pop band... Instead... here's the surprise.. The player starts and "Stormwind" convinces with its beautiful melody and its energy.. in short, nothing to envy to Final C. Okay, I said, let's hear the second track.. And here, my dear friends, is the surprise with a killer opening riff with a guitar that seems to scream.. but in a strange way.. like the scream of a can of pineapples (gives you a good idea, right?!)... indescribable.. "Scream of Anger", this second inimitable track is surely the most Hard oriented episode of the album composed of songs between AOR and Hard Rock leaning more toward the 1st than the 2nd genre except in this episode.. The album then continues with the beautiful ballad "Open your heart" (which can only be a ballad with such a title...)... And so on until the end for a total of 10 magnificent tracks (some more, some less)...
But seriously, why the hell are you wasting time reading this Un-abomination when you could be rushing to grab a copy of this magnificent album ?????????
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Stormwind (04:31)
I like to sit beside the fire
When the light is going down
I like to hear the wild wind blow outside my door
I have so much left to remember
I have so much left to forget
And I know i just don't have to search for more
But you want to change my world
Stay out of my life
Stormwind
You're just like a wind
Coming to drag me away
Stormwind
What can I say
I just don't want you to stay
I like to walk around and dream at night
And play with kings and queens 'til the morning light
I like to wake up in the morning, unaware
Of the fact that you are calling me
To ask me if I want to be
Someone who you can love and always care for
You want to change my world
Stay out of my life
Stormwind
You're just like a wind
Coming to drag me away
Stormwind
What can I say
I just don't want you to stay
02 Scream of Anger (04:06)
I won't live to see tomorrow
There won't be another prayer
None of them will ever sorrow
Those who've sentenced me to death
I've been waiting here for ages
For the hangman to appear (the hangman to appear)
Soon the priest will read some pages
From the Bible for my fear
I see a place
An evil place
Coming my way
What can I do
Where can I run
Gonna die anyway
Things are getting clearer
This is the price I have to pay
oh no
I feel like screaming out my anger
There is so much left here to do
When it happened I was younger
And my destiny was you
I see a place
An evil place
Coming my way
What can I do
Where can I run
Gonna die anyway
Things are getting clearer
This is the price I have to pay
And what can I do about leaving you
We were only halfway through
And what can I say, there was no other way
They wouldn't let me stay
03 Open Your Heart (04:10)
Days filled with joy and days filled with sorrow
I don't know just what to do
Am I happy today, am I lonely tomorrow
Everything depends on you
And I've been waitin'
For the angels to knock on my door
I've been hopin'
That everything could be like before
Open your heart and tell me what's wrong
Why can't you talk like you used to do before
I don't know if I'm weak, I don't know if I'm strong
Hey girl I can't cope anymore
And I've been waitin'...
Open your heart, let me hear you
Make up your mind, I want to hear you call
Open your heart, want to come near you
Make up your mind, before we lose it all
Maybe that time has its own way of healin'
Maybe it dries the tears in your eyes
But never changes the way that I'm feelin'
Only you can answer my cries
And I've been waitin'...
Open your heart, let me hear you...
08 Lyin' Eyes (03:47)
I can tell just by the look in your eyes
That the love is gone that I once took
So much has changed in the way you live
I bet there's nothing left that you could ever give
The words of a madman have spoken
I guess I'm not the only one
The heart of a sad man is broken
Eyes, lyin' eyes
You can fool anyone without disguise
Eyes, lyin' eyes
Oh yeah, you look as cold as ice
It's in your blood
It floats in your veins
I've sacrificed myself
But all I feel is pain
You've done me wrong
You've been so bad
It's the last time a battle is lost
When I'm the one who's sad
The words of a madman have spoken
I guess I'm not the only one
The heart of a sad man is broken
Eyes, lyin' eyes
You can fool anyone without disguise
Eyes, lyin' eyes
Oh yeah, you look as cold as ice
I wish you'd die
I wish you'd break down and cry
I wish you'd move
And then I know I'll be satisfied
Can't you see, I'm on the edge
I can't look down
It is me who's lost and never found
09 Dreamer (04:28)
He is down by the riverside
Late one night
He's tryin' to count the stars
In each of the signs
All alone by the riverside
And time passes by
Gathering thoughts of the past
And maybe he'll cry
So they say he's a madman
And he don't understand
But I know that he's tryin' hard
To act like a man
All those years he has suffered,
my friends
All those years of pain
But I don't think he knows for sur
e If those years were in vain
He's a dreamer
And he's fightin' for his life
He's tryin' to understand
He's a dreamer
But he wants to carry on
Yet I know he's a lonely man
