True enough I am one opera freak lol, My colleagues couldn’t stand Cecila Bartoli, one of my favourite singers in the opera genre. One was asking where the hell the chicken came from and another telling me “pls richie, pls richie.. pls pls..” LOL bleah..
Understanding why I’m into a lot of genres.. I am someone who’s attracted more to vocals; not really into the lyrical side.. so even a spanish or italian piece i know cuckoo abt, if the vocals are amazingly powerful or soaring, i’ll take it..
And one of the new genres I was introduced to by Stanley (the music guru!) was gothic rock! - an overlapping of classically-trained operaish vocals with heavy rock beats and melodies.. and one of the greatest songs I’ve heard from the genre was “angels” by within temptation.. i’m kinda starting to fall deeper into the song. here are the lyrics~!.
Angels
Within Temptation
Sparkling angel, I believed,
You were my saviour, in my time of need.
Blinded by faith, I couldn’t hear,
All the whispers, the warnings so clear.
I see the angels,
I lead them to your door,
There’s no escape now,
No mercy no more,
No remorse cos’ I still remember..
The smile when you tore me apart..
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start,
You showed me dreams,
I wished they turned into real.
You broke the promise,
And make me realise,
It was all just a lie.
Sparking angel, I couldn’t see,
Your dark intentions, your feelings for me.
Fallen angel, tell me why,
What is the reason, the thorn in your eye.
I see the angels,
I lead them to your door,
There’s no escape now,
No mercy no more,
No remorse cos’ I still remember..
The smile when you tore me apart..
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start,
You showed me dreams,
I wished they turned into real.
You broke the promise,
And make me realise,
It was all just a lie.
Could happen forever,
Now we have next to the end..
This world may have failed you,
It doesn’t give you the reason why..
You could have chosen a different path in life..
The smile when you tore me apart..
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start,
You showed me dreams,
I wished they turned into real.
You broke the promise,
And make me realise,
It was all just a lie.
Could happen forever,
Now we have next to the end..
