Palace - 'Kyrie' (Mr. Mister cover) - Official Music Video

The wind blows hard against this mountain side,
Across the sea into my soul
It reaches into where I cannot hide,
Setting my feet upon the road

My heart is old, it holds my memories,
My body burns a gemlike flame
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine,
Is where I find myself again

[Chorus] Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel
Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night
Kyrie eleison, where I'm going will you follow
Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light

When I was young I thought of growing old,
Of what my life would mean to me
Would I have followed down my chosen road,
Or only wished what I could be

[Chorus]

Το τραγούδι "Kyrie" είναι μία από τις μεγαλύτερες επιτυχίες του Αμερικάνικου pop - rock συγκροτήματος Mr. Mister (η άλλη ήταν το τραγούδι "Broken Wings"). Αποτέλεσε μέρος του δίσκου "Welcome to the Real World" που "βγήκε" τον Νοέμβριο του 1985. Αργότερα (τα Χριστούγεννα του ιδίου έτους) κυκλοφόρησε και αυτόνομα ως single.

Το εν λόγω τραγούδι αποτελεί και μέρος του ep διασκευών των Palace. Το προσωπικό σχήμα του Σουηδού (και γεννημένου στην Λιθουανία) τραγουδιστή και μουσικού Michael Palace τιτλοφορείται "Retrospection" και έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει στις αρχές του επόμενου μήνα (9 Δεκεμβρίου 2022).

Δελτίο τύπου: «On the heels of the release of a well-received fourth album, "One 4 The Road", Palace has announced the release of a special covers EP, "Retrospection" on December 9th. This special EP sees Palace mastermind Mike Palace covering songs by Mr. Mister, Night Ranger, Easy Action, and Aviator.

See below for the tracklisting. Fans of Palace’s previous releases, “Master Of The Universe”, “Binary Music”, "Rock 'N Roll Radio", and "One 4 The Road", will surely get a kick out of hearing Michael's take on these classic '80s numbers.

Palace, the brainchild of Swedish vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Michael Palace, returned with a fourth album, "One 4 The Road", this past July. Once again, Michael Palace handled all the instrumentation, songwriting, and production for the effort, which showcased his love for the imagery and sounds of the glorious ‘80s.

"One 4 The Road" was an unabashedly massive AOR/Melodic Rock album, as has come to be expected from this gifted Swede's output under the Palace moniker.

Michael Palace first began collaborating with Frontiers as a songwriter and guitarist for First Signal, which of course features legendary Harem Scarem vocalist Harry Hess, Cry of Dawn featuring Goran Edman, Kryptonite featuring The Poodles vocalist Jakob Samuel and Pride Of Lions vocalist Toby Hitchcock.

Those successful (and musically delightful) collaborations led to a deal with Frontiers where Michael could deliver songs in his own vision without other musicians in mind under the name Palace.

Michael Palace has honed his skills as a musician, songwriter, and studio whiz with several different acts over the yearas, including, but not limited to KENT HILLI (Perfect Plan), FANS OF THE DARK, THE MURDER OF MY SWEET, HOUSTON, FIND ME (featuring Robbie LaBlanc), FIRST SIGNAL (featuring Harry Hess), MILJENKO MATIJEVIC, ADRENALINE RUSH, and more.»

"Retrospection" EP Tracklist:
1. Kyrie (Mr. Mister cover)
