Helloween - 'Forever And One (Neverland)' (Live At Budokan)

What can I do?
Will I be getting through?
Now that I must try to leave it all behind
Did you see what you have done to me?
So hard to justify
Slowly it's passing by

Forever and one
I will miss you
However, I kiss you
Yet again
Way down in Neverland
So hard I was trying
Tomorrow I'll still be crying
How could you hide your lies
Your lies

Here I am
Seeing you once again
My mind's so far away
My heart's so close to stay
Too proud to fight
I'm walking back into night
Will I ever find someone to believe?

Forever and one
I will miss you
However, I kiss you
Yet again
Way down in Neverland
So hard I was trying
Tomorrow I'll still be crying
How could you hide your lies
Your lies

Δελτίο τύπου: «Get ready to dive headfirst into the electrifying world of Helloween with their new live album, a colossal release that immortalizes their iconic performance at Tokyo's legendary Nippon Budokan.

Choosing the Nippon Budokan for this live recording was no coincidence. A venue rich in musical history, it has hosted countless legendary concerts and is an accolade for every music group that has played there.

Helloween is the first German band ever to record a live album in the Nippon Budokan, and for the members it was a dream come true. The live recording's technical brilliance is another highlight.

With 29 cameras capturing every nuance, the production team ensured that each moment of the concert is preserved in stunning detail. This attention to detail means the DVD and Blu-ray versions offer an immersive viewing experience, making fans feel like they are right there in the front row.

The setlist of this live album is a treasure trove of surprises, contains the entire 2 hour + show and offerins a fresh experience compared to previous releases like "United Alive."

This thoughtful song selection honors both the die-hard fans craving something new and the band's rich musical legacy, showcasing their evolution and expansive repertoire.

This live album is more than just a concert recording; it's a celebration of Helloween's enduring impact on the metal scene. It promises to bring the magic of an unforgettable performance straight into fans' homes, offering a piece of music history that embodies the spirit and energy of a legendary band at their peak.»

Παρακολουθούμε την "ζωντανή" απόδοση του τραγουδιού "Forever And One (Neverland)" (το γνωρίσαμε στον δίσκο "The Time of the Oath" που "βγήκε" το μακρινό 1996), για το οποίο ο Michael Kiske μας λέει:

«A beautiful ballad from the pen of Andi. When we sit at the front of the catwalk and I see the emotions on the faces of the audience, I get goosebumps every time. That alone makes it very emotional to sing this song every time.»
