Battle Symphony - 'Darling' (Stories cover)

Darling, can you see it something inside
Can't be denied it's the way that you feel it
If you want it, you gotta try
Taking the best of the lesson

You know when the night
Has turned to dawn I will be gone
Where's the reason and
The strength to carry on

Come back, I can see you far behind
Taking a chance and forgetting the reason
That I need you on my mind
Making the best of the season

For now is there nothing
In the world that takes in sound
For the more we can conceive
The more we found

Darling can you feel it? I need your love
I need the way that you make me feel
Darling if you want it, you can be sure
Taking the best of the lesson

You know there's so many
In the stars watching the sky
And you know that somehow
Most of them will cry

Ο αθλητικός δημοσιογράφος (και συγγραφέας και πληκτράς) Νίκος Τζουάνης αποφάσισε να πραγματώσει ένα όνειρο δεκαετιών. Οι Battle Symphony αποτελούν το μουσικό του σχήμα και κυκλοφόρησαν τον περασμένο Μάιο το ντεμπούτο τους.

"War on Earth" ο τίτλος και είναι concept (έχει ενιαία θεματολογία δηλαδή) με συμμετοχή πληθώρας μουσικών της Ελληνικής -και όχι μόνο- σκηνής (αναφέρονται στο σχετικό δελτίο τύπου).

Στην παρούσα ανάρτηση θα ακούσουμε την προσέγγιση - διασκευή τους στο τραγούδι "Darling". Πρόκειται για την μεγαλύτερη επιτυχία του Αμερικάνινου pop - rock συγκροτήματος Stories, οι οποίοι δραστηριοποιήθηκαν στο πρώτοι μισό της δεκαετίας του εβδομήντα...
