Tarja - 'Eye Of The Storm' (official lyric video)

[Verse 1]
Forever and ever
I move into the realms of mystery
And over the border
I'm breathing on the edge of history
Unbroken, unspoken
I carry my whole world with every step
I'm closer, I need them
Every dream I haven't pictured yet

[Chorus]
When I'm reborn
In the unknown
I can be never, never gone
Memories fade
In the before
They can be never, nevermore
Whatever destiny
The eye of the storm is me
When I'm reborn
In the unknown
I can be never, never gone

[Verse 2]
The hours, devours
Reasons to hold back, when one can't fail
A notion, an ocean
I'm closing up the gap when I set sail
Uneasy, you feel me
And if you want to follow every truth
Tomorrow, your sorrow
Vanished and replaced
With something new

[Chorus]
When I'm reborn
In the unknown
I can be never, never gone
Memories fade
In the before
They can be never, nevermore
Whatever destiny
The eye of the storm is me
When I'm reborn
In the unknown
I can be never, never gone

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
When I'm reborn
In the unknown
I can be never, never gone
Memories fade
In the before
They can be never, nevermore

[Chorus]
When I'm reborn
In the unknown
I can be never, never gone
Memories fade
In the before
They can be never, nevermore
Whatever destiny
The eye of the storm is me
When I'm reborn
In the unknown
I can be never, never gone

Η Tarja Turunen (ή Tarja Soile Susanna Turunen Cabuli όπως είναι το πλήρες ονοματεπώνυμό της) έγινε γνωστή λόγω της παρουσίας της στους Nightwish (από το 1996 έως το 2005). Μετά το "διαζύγιό" της με τους Φινλανδούς metallers ασχολείται κυρίως με την προσωπική της καριέρα έχοντας κυκλοφορήσει εννέα full length albums, τέσσερα EPs, πέντε live albums και μπόλικα singles. Όχι όμως συλλογή (best of), κάτι που θα γίνει στις αρχές του χειμώνα (2 Δεκεμβρίου 2022). "Best Of: Living The Dream" ο τίτλος...

Δελτίο τύπου: Tarja has chosen this moment in her life to release her first-ever “Best Of: Living The Dream”. Looking back on 15 extremely successful years of the Finnish singer’s solo career, the Best Of contains not only Tarja’s most well-known tracks, many of them newly remastered at “Sterling Sound”, and personal favorites from all six studio albums - ‘My Winter Storm’, ‘What Lies Beneath’, ‘Colours in the Dark’, ‘The Brightest Void’, ‘The Shadow Self’ and ‘In the Raw’ - but also the never-before-heard song “Eye Of The Storm”.

“After all these years, I still really can't believe it's time for me to release a proper, “Best Of” album. An album that contains my personal favorite rock tracks from my six albums – ‘My Winter Storm’, ‘What Lies Beneath’, ‘Colours in the Dark’, ‘The Brightest Void’, ‘The Shadow Self’ and ‘In the Raw’.

It's really amazing to think that it's been 15 years since I started my solo career. Where on earth all these years have gone? I don't know. So many beautiful moments, unbelievable. But I'm truly happy that I have been able to create music that first of all had made me happy.

And I've seen that I have made many people happy. With 15 years of beautiful memories to look over, it has been a dream to put together this collection. And I really hope that you will enjoy this as much as I did while making it.”

The compilation hand-picked by Tarja herself, will be released on December 2nd, 2022 on earMUSIC in a wide variety of formats. Each featuring exclusive rarities and / or the previously unreleased 2 hour “Circus Life” concert, eagerly awaited by fans, as well as upgraded versions of Tarja’s music videos.

Rounded out by high-quality artwork, deluxe liner notes and many formats to choose from, this collection is a delight for casual fans as well as superfans.

Η συλλογή περιλαμβάνει και ένα καινούριο μουσικό κομμάτι, το "Eye Of The Storm", για το οποίο η Φινλανδέζα τραγουδίστρια μας λέει:

«Actually, I wrote, ‘Eye Of The Storm’ a long time ago already. It was written for the ‘Colours in the Dark’ album, my third rock album. But already at that time, I decided to leave it for later on, wait for the special occasion.

And now with this compilation, I took it and I wanted to use it. It was a right time. The song has a very deep feeling of closure in it. It's a powerful and emotional song, and it's been influenced by two very important countries in my life, Finland and Argentina.

I was looking for inspiration from Finn musical father, Jean Sibelius, and also from the sound and style of the incredible composer, Argentina’s Astor Piazzolla. So the song is like a battle. It's an internal battle inside of me actually, because at the time in life, I was really looking my place in this world where I do belong as a person, as an individual. And in that sense, this song is very personal to me.»
