Bel Canto Lyrics
There is a chapel in the woods
Where from the farthest-seeing senses rule
There is a scroll inside a casket...
Clear blue eyes have worn this outfit
Yes I knew it was no moonshine, it is real
I feel much better
Now I know this spiral shaft
Can possess the brightness of the light
Oh, I sayeth, thou art mine true companion
And I wish
Thou wilt enter my kingdom
Oh, mesmerising unicorn
When if danger it will glow
A glimmer can foresee all threats to come
Gone are disbeliefs and doubts
It would be nice, so nice...
Oh, I sayeth, thou art mine true companion
And I hope, thou wilt enter my kingdom
Oh yes, I wish, I really wish

Whoever said this is too much like DCD and Cocteau Twins... how is that a bad thing? Bel Canto were simply another one of the school of 4AD records bands. They have a handful of great tracks, and a bunch of stuff that does not interest me. But to totally write them off because they sound like two of the greatest bands in the world... well that is just foolish imho.

skypjuh no problem! Sometimes they are a rock goth vibe and then a tribal stuffs.

No song has ever resonated with me as much as this otherworldly masterpiece. It takes me back to a winter Sunday afternoon where I was driving around Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis feeling so lost and alone. So many things in my life needed changing. Halfway through this song, and mere words can't fully describe it, but I was overcome with this sense of pure love. I was in the presence of a higher power. This song means so much to me. Thanks for posting and sharing your beautiful photos.

I first heard this song when I was about 15 years old and I haven't been the same since. It is indeed a song of breath-taking beauty and scope.
