Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Oct. 01 2005, 18:58 I wanna feel... Can you give me?... falling like rain are the tears of an angel. Can you feel me?... falling like rain are the tears of an angel. I wanna feel... Can you feel me?... falling like rain are the tears of an angel. Can you touch me?... falling like rain are the tears of an angel. I wanna feel... [The choir sounds something like "I want more, I want more". ] Falling like rain... (x2, repeated in background, with oooohs) Can you give me?... Can you feel me?... Can you feel me?... Can you touch me?... This is just an attempt. The first line makes no sense, does it? Anyway... either you agree or disagree... please do! EDIT: I didn't take these from oldfield.de, although the lyrics in there, for the first 2 lines, are exactly the same. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Sounds a lot like the verse repeated in "Tommy" by The Who. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

Or maybe "hear" but "heal" seems even more appropiate. And the second "feel" in your interpretation seems to be beginning with "t". -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Oct. 02 2005, 07:34 Thanks, EeToN. I had imagined it could be something like that, but I hadn't quite got it. @ Hiawatha: call me ignorant or stupid, but I'm not familiar with "Tommy" by The Who, so I've no idea on what you're talking about. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

maria Group: Members Posts: 928 Joined: July 2002 Posted: Oct. 02 2005, 13:34 i can see why eeton hear 'kill' in the first line, though i think it could be 'hear'. i'm not sure about that verse. i agree with the rest, but Quote (Ugo @ Oct. 01 2005, 18:58) [The choir sounds something like "I want more, I want more". ] Falling like rain... (x2, repeated in background, with oooohs) Can you give me?... Can you feel me?... Can you feel me?... Can you touch me?... u think that 'ooohhhhs' could be 'youth'? if so then from the guitar solo until the end the voices would say in the background something like: falling like rain.. youth.. youth.. youth.. falling like rain can u hear me.? falling like rain... youth youth youth.. more and more this song is becoming a favourite in the whole album. besides the guitar solo, i do like how it flows and changes so rich in sounds. i always listen to this song with headphones and guess the 5.1 mix must be wonderful. -------------- ...morning and evening i'm flying, i'm dreaming...

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Oct. 02 2005, 14:59 Well, María... even keeping the Vocaloid's peculiarities into account, I have a little bit of difficulty in thinking that the H at the beginning is so aspirated that it almost becomes a K. But if we were really looking for a word that made sense, I'd lean toward EeToN's "heal". Quote u think that 'ooohhhhs' could be 'youth'? No. Oooohhs are just oooohhs It's a backing vocal pad, why should it make sense as a word? -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Inkanta Group: Admins Posts: 1453 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: Oct. 27 2005, 17:47 Well....merging accomplished (there were a couple duplicate topics). I probably should have just deleted the newer topic (since most of the relevant discussion was on the one Ugo started, which now incorporates hiawatha's -- actually, vice versa <-; ). I will delete some of the posts and clean it up a bit but will leave everything "as is" for a couple of days (and this note! ) so we know what happened and minds aren't lost. (note: cleaned up thread on 28-10) BTW, please try to avoid blatant duplication (as one of the other admins would say), whatever your technique. You don't need to go to heroic effort, and I'm not suggesting you painstakingly read every post of every topic. Just look around a bit first, to see if there's anything already visible in the forum that fits it (as same other admin would also say). Regarding the "search" feature -- as we've discussed elsewhere -- it's far from perfect, but certainly everyone can spare a few minutes to familiarize himself/herself with it and use if necessary. Yes--sometimes you retrieve an incredible amount of stuff. When I initially searched this topic, I didn't limit to the "L + S" forum and retrieved six pages! (It still only took a minute to scan all the topic titles.) When I limited to fora where I'd expect to find similar topics, i.e., L+S, Gen Dis (not that I'd want to find an L+S one there), and Q&A, it narrowed hits to two pages. -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist."

Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Oct. 29 2005, 18:46 @ Maria: I understand perfectly what you mean, but I think that what you hear as 'th' is nothing more but the Vocaloid's rendition of an aitch (H). "Surfing" is done with another program, OK, but the very metallic accent with which the H at the beginning of "Have you seen" is sung makes it sound almost like "thave" (IMHO)... exactly the same as here in "Tears", where 'Heal' or 'Hear' sounds almost like 'kill'. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

afghan Group: Members Posts: 145 Joined: July 2004 Posted: May 19 2006, 11:55 I know its here somewhere ,but could someone please post the lyrics for TOAA and some info to what it is about.Personaly speaking i think this is the best oldfield track for some time. -------------- may you never run aground or fall into the deep deep sound Back to top

Inkanta Group: Admins Posts: 1453 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: May 19 2006, 18:03 I really like TOAA, as well. I merged your topic with one of the TOAA lyrics discussions. I found it by searching under "tears" or "toaa" in the search feature, restricting it to the L+S forum, and "from the beginning or newer." IIR, there were also discussions of the lyrics scattered among more general L+S topics, as well. -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist." From:  Moongarden's "Solaris."
