Come cover me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_scshoOnw4

"Come cover me" - Nightwish

Come wet a widow`s eye
Cover the night with your love
Dry the rain from my beaten face
Drink the wine the red sweet taste of mine
Come cover me with you
For the thrill
Till you will take me in
Come comfort me in you
Young love must
Live twice only for us
For me
For you
Time devours passion`s beauty
With me
With you
In war for the love of you
(Tonight any dream will do)
Not a world but your fine grace
Seduction in sleepwalker`s land
November dressed in May on your face
Holding us now the lovecropper`s hand
Come cover me with you...

Del álbum "Wishmaster" (2000)

Del álbum "The Crow: City of Angels" (1996)

*******

Uno de los temazos que componen el soundtrack de la supuesta secuela de The Crow :/ Se insiste en ello porque el "hilo conductor" entre una y otra es Sarah niña y en la secuela, una Sarah más crecidita. Vincent Perez no hizo mal papel, bastante decoroso aunque el amor filial (él vuelve del Más Allá para cobrar venganza no por su asesinato sino por el de su hijo pequeño) escasamente puede competir con el amor de pareja :P

Iggy Pop interpreta a uno de los villanos y está estupendo. Tim Pope, más conocido por haber dirigido parte de los videos más conmemorativos de The Cure, se encarga de la dirección aunque sin lograr "conectar" del todo con la oscura magia que Alex Proyas supo imprimir en cada fotograma de The Crow (1994).

The Crow: City of Angels no está tan mal. Ha sido lo más decoroso de todo lo que se ha amparado bajo la leyenda creada por James O' Barr en aquel cómic tan oscuro y tan gótico y después recreada por el australiano Alex Proyas que tuvo un ojo increíble para elegir a Brandon Lee como protagonista.

Angels will run to defend me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtAmFKaThNE

"Furious angels" - Rob Dougan

Like a sentence of Death
I've got no options left
I've got nothing to show now
I'm down on the ground, I've got seconds to live
And you can't go now
'Cause love, like an invisible bullet,
Shot me down and I'm bleeding
Yeah I'm bleeding

And if you go furious angels will bring you back to me
Will bring you back to me

You're a dirty needle
You're in my blood and there's no curin' me
Yeah
And I want to run, like the blood from a wound
To place you can't see me
'Cause love, like a blow to the head,
Has left me stunned and I'm bleeding
Yeah, I'm bleeding

And if you go furious angels will bring you back to me
Yeah,

You're a cold piece of steel between my ribs
And there's no saving me
Yeah
And I can't get up
From this wet crimson bed that you made for me
That you made for me
'Cause love, like a knife in the back
Cut me down and I'm bleeding
Yeah I'm bleeding

And if you go, Angels will run to defend me
To defend me
'Cause I can't get up

I'm as cold as a stone, I can feel the life fade from me
Yeah
I'm down on the ground, I've got seconds to live
And what's there that waits for me?
Oh, that waits for me
'Cause love, like a sentence of death's left me stunned
And I'm reeling, yeah I'm reeling

And if you go furious angels will bring you back to me

In your dream you see me clear

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3-IPG-XnaU

"Darkangel" - VNV Nation

I'd only come here, seeking peace
I'd only come here, seeking me
it seems I came to leave

In your dream you see me clear
I have no restraint, no fear
Powerless I watched from faces I'd assumed.
My purpose set. My will defined.
Caress the air.
Embrace the skies.
Escape the sorrow and restraint of mortal cities.

Give me time I will be clear.
Given time you'll understand
What possesses me to right what you have suffered.
I'm in this mood because of scorn.
I'm in a mood for total war.
To the darkened skies once more and ever onward.

So many years I stood among the thoughts
and tears of those I served.
Among my own I was alone through my own doing.
All the years I walked unknown
behind the faces I assumed.
Powerless to clear your mind of what you'd suffered.

They fall again.
They fall again.

Give me time I will be clear.
Given time you'll understand
What possesses me to right what you have suffered.
I'm in this mood because of scorn.
I'm in a mood for total war.
To the darkened skies once more and ever onward.
There is no faith in which to hide.
Even truth is filled with lies.
Doubting angels fall to walk among the living.
I'm in this mood because of scorn.
I'm in a mood for total war.
To the darkened skies once more and ever onward.

I'd only come here seeking peace.
I'd only come here seeking me.

It seems I came to leave

Del álbum "Empires" (1999)

Es raro, rarísimo que el electro o el ebm o cualquiera de sus variantes me mueva alguna fibra, pero VNV Nation lo consigue con varios temas suyos :)

Let me be your armor

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmhDIaHsGH0

"Let me be your armor" - Assemblage 23

Let me take the fall
Let me take the blame
Let me carry you from hell
To home again.

Let me walk for you
When your legs are weak
Let me find the words for you
When you can't speak

Let me be your armor
Let me be your shield
Let me take away the pain you feel (your armor)
Let me be the light
That guides your way through darkest night
Let me be your armor.

Let me take the blows
That were meant for you
Let me help you with the trials
You're going through

Let me keep you safe
From the world outside
Let me wipe away the tears
That fill your eyes

Let me be your armor
Let me be your shield
Let me take away the pain you feel (your armor)
Let me be the light
That guides your way through darkest night
Let me be your armor.

Let me keep you from
Experience you need
Let me bind you with my selfishness
And greed

Let me stifle you
Let me have control
Let me smother
Every aspect of your soul

Let me be your armor
Let me be your shield
Let me take away the pain you feel (your armor)
Let me be the light
That guides your way through darkest night
Let me be your armor
