Thea Cochrane Group: Musicians Posts: 445 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Mar. 19 2000, 13:33 Has anyone ever experienced mis-heard lyrics with Mike's songs? My brother used to think that the lyrics for the end of FMO (the song) contained the phrase "just fold your head in two". It was, of course, "just hold your heading true". Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: April 12 2000, 08:34 When I was a kid I thought that the last line of the Moonlight Shadow chorus said: "And she couldn't but haven't pushed through" which obviously does not make any sense. It is, of course, "And she couldn't find how to push through." Also, two of the introductions of instruments on TB1 and TB2. TB1: for years, ever since I had the CD, I believed that the MC said "Two slided distorted guitars", so I thought: "Where's the slide?" and "Anyway, what does it mean?" TB2: "Definition effect". It was not until I had the sheet music books that I realized that they were respectively "Two slightly distorted guitars" and "The Venetian effect".

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: June 21 2000, 19:30 Just a funny note...but since the whole of this topic is funny, I don't think it matters... I regret we're talking about mis-heard LYRICS here ...because there are so many of the so-called "non-words lyrics" that are nearly impossible to hear as they really are...I'll just comment on some on these. 1) Surfing the Web, I found at least ten different versions of Sheba and Celt (QE2). 2) "So far so far" or "fa so fa so" in Amarok. This has been discussed extensively, so I leave it alone... 3) A friend of mine told me that the opera singer in Sentinel (Sally Bradshaw) says "Bé Onicò Sinò" 4) The "Vocoder Slide" (according to the Amarok Player tracklist) in Taurus 2: that same friend of mine trascribed it as "Tanti tirititànti tirititànti tirititàtti..." 5)...and finally, the chants that are so mysterious that nobody in the whole world ever tried to write 'em down [and that's why I made them become topics in these forums ] : - Hergest Ridge (Borda Di Ena...) - Taurus II (Sana Rosana...) - the Balinese-like chant somewhere on Wind Chimes: "Ya...ba saba naba na ya..." Well well well.... -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Cipher Group: Members Posts: 67 Joined: Mar. 2000 Posted: June 23 2000, 04:50 Ugo, I'm very interested in those "lyrics" that seemingly means nothing. You know that many strange lyrics now we now that there was a hidden meaning in a language or in another. Or they are purely for music purposes, but either in this case I'd like a transcription. There are lyrics with a clear meaning but we've no translators available, that's the case of Suomi chant, latin in Requiem for a city, or the polynesian chant at the end of TSODE... I keep the hope of a translation, just look at the case of the african lyrics of TBII! Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: June 23 2000, 19:23 Excuse me, Cipher...what "African" TBII lyrics are you referring to? Do you mean Sally Bradshaw's supposed "Bé Onicò Sinò" or (as somebody down here has suggested me) to the Piltdown Man's shouts? These latter ones have been transcribed as "Who's gonna tell your Virgil, Who's gonna tell your home", and IMHO they're both totally wrong in addition to being meaningless. P.S. Piltdown Man sounds more like "Hoos Wroo Mek Yo Wegel, Hoos Gob Til Mo Haag". [I'm quoting from memory, maybe I'll post a more accurate transcription in the Lyrics and Language forum over the next days.] Does any of this make any more sense to you ? P.P.S. Or maybe do you refer to Amar's lines in TBIII? P.P.P.S. (To Olivier) If you think this is not related to the topic, you can remove it or place it somewhere else.

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: July 25 2000, 09:38 Vinz...VERY funny! ...going off topic... There's a line in a Sting song..."Fields of Gold"...saying "Many years have passed". The way Sting sings it sounds very like "Me ne yesse a Vast." This, in the Pescara dialect, means "I'd like to go to Vasto" (Vasto is a seaside town near here)... -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Aug. 21 2000, 19:06 What I always didn't get were the lyrics of "Sentinel". The female vocals sing something like "Money". Are they actually singing that or are these just nonsense words that sound like "money"? -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Jammer Group: Members Posts: 643 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Aug. 28 2000, 20:02 I wouldn't be able to properly say, but I've heard an mp3 of the single-restructure so it's probably quite similar A phonetic transcription would look like this: mu-ny-eh mu-ny-eh oo mu-ny mu-ny-eeh perhaps it could be a link relating to Maya Gold. Money -> Gold ? Back to top
