Here’s my newest song – an electric guitar ballad: “The Lynx at My Home” (2016).
This song is dedicated to my cat and all the cats I have loved in my life.
The track will be in the upcoming album Tree of Love – and Other Ballads from the Darkened Sun. Featuring f.ex. acoustic/electric guitar and piano ballads, celt and medieval inspired songs.
- [download or play the mp3, if the player above doesn’t show up] (8:00)
PS. Points and glory to the person who gathers what the beginning and end of the song “means” (the ambient sound waves from 0:00-0:36 and 7:43–8:00)… Hint: listen to the lyrics… You can write a comment on your thoughts. (I’ll reveal my intentions later.)
Answer: The ambient soundscape in the beginning and in the end refers to the 2nd verse about sinking to the bottom of the sea… That’s how I imagine it to sound like. It also represents the inner world of cat – that we can only dream about of ever understanding (no more than ourselves)…
Of course the whole song itself also tells about life, women and broken relationships.
EDIT February 25th, 2017: Song version updated – some tuning issues were fixed.
Here are the lyrics:
Show me the way, to life again
Follow your dreams, whatever they are
Please, do not let them, tear you apart…
to the bottom, of the sea, we’ll be happy there, eternally…
They’re the waves, of eternity
And not the words, of violent dreams
Can you restore me, the way I was before
The sharp fractions tear my soul…
A new world, we shall build
it’s not too late
Starting today, to end all days
Can you restore me, the way I was before
it’s not too late
Starting today, to end all days “
whether you still breath, then I fall asleep
I’ll let her stay at home, with me… forever…
Lyriikat suomeksi:
Näytä mulle tie, takaisin elämään
Unelmiisi kurota, mitä tahansa ne ovatkaan
Älä anna niiden sua rikkoa…
pohjaan meren syvään syleilyyn, oomme onnelliset siel’, aina vain…
iäisyyden aallot, ovat ne
Etkä unia, haavoittavia…
Voitko parantaa, minut kokonaan
Säröt terävät, sieluuni repeytyen…
Maailman uuden, me rakennamme taas
Se myöhäistä ei oo
Tästä päivästä, lähtien
Voitko parantaa, minut kokonaan
Se ei ole liian myöhäistä
Tästä päivästä alkaen, ja kaikkina tulevina päivinä “
sit’ nukahdan, ja unohdan,
ilves kävelee, sisään ja nukahtaa, vierellein… ainiaan…
