Anneke Van Giersbergen - "Agape" (lyric video)
And if I sit beside you and if I wait
And if I wander off into this state
Would I be fine and could I call you mine
And have you near for a thousand years
If I wake up beside you and touch your smile
The world would disappear for a while
We’d hide in space or any other place
Immortal souls will always find their way
The darkest skies are the brightest
In the shadows of our eyes there’s a star
The darkest skies are the brightest
In every chance we long to take
Lies a radiant golden shimmering luminous star
And if I sit beside you and if I say
We will move heaven and earth to find a way
Would you pull me under
Have me wonder
Why in the world are we so many cities apart
And why in the world is it so diabolically hard
Η Anneke Van Giersbergen (Anna Maria van Giersbergen το "κανονικό" όνομά της) έγινε γνωστή στο μουσικόφιλο κοινό από τους Gathering. Ήταν η τραγουδίστρια (και στιχουργός) των υπέροχων δίσκων "Mandylion" και "Nighttime Birds" στο δεύτερο μισό της δεκαετίας του ενενήντα (κι αρκετών ακόμη).
Στους Gathering ήταν μέλος από το 1994 έως το 2007. Συνολικά έχει κυκλοφορήσει - συμμετάσχει σε 22 δίσκους (είτε προσωπικά, είτε με μπάντες)! Ο 23ος είναι προ των πυλών. Φέρει τον τίτλο "The Darkest Skies Are The Brightest", κυκλοφορεί κάτω από το όνομά της κι αναμένεται σε λίγες ημέρες...
Δελτίο τύπου: «‘The Darkest Skies Are The Brightest’ is Anneke van Giersbergen’s 23rd career album. It was created in a time of personal crisis, with just an acoustic guitar and basic recording gear, in a small house near the woods just outside of Anneke’s hometown, and it grew into something much bigger.
Lyrically, and musically, the award-winning Dutch artist lays her soul bare with the most evocative record of her career - captivating song-stories told with acoustic guitars, strings, horns, percussion, and Anneke's hypnotic vocal harmonies, combined with surprising departures into swampier, foot-stomping grooves.»
Anneke: «There’s a distinct echo of a love song from the ‘70s about Agape’s meditative guitar arrangement. The lush sound of a string quartet adds a dreamy quality to the song. Agape refers to the highest form of unconditional love, the type of love we all yearn for.»
