I. This Italian band with a Celtic name got together in 1992 when they signed up with Musea for the first of two albums (a third, live album was also released). Their music belies their origins as they don't sound at all like your traditional Italian prog band. Their style hovers somewhere between Prog, Neo-Prog and high-end AOR. The original line-up was: Maurizio Antognoli (keyboards and vocals), Max (?) (guitars and vocals), Paolo Negroni (drums, drum machine programming) and Mark Aixer (lead vocals and bass guitar and bass pedal) who sings in English without a trace of an accent.
Their debut album "The Watcher" shows their prog side and is somewhat reminiscent of the more commercial era of YES ("Drama" period). The sound is crystal clear, the musicians skillful and the album has its share of strong emotional moments. However, it is with the 2000 release of "A Tree Under the Colours" that the band truly found their niche, taking on a more AOR direction with surprisingly good results. In a similar vein as SAGA, ASIA or TOTO, the music is more direct and features spiralling musical flights, loads of melodic vocal harmonies and catchy choruses with crisp, clean arrangements, clearly favouring an overall effect over individual soloing. The mood is uplifting (no angst-ridden overtones here), the vocals strong and powerful, the musicianship excellent, at times technically incisive, and the production top notch. To quote Musea: "Imagine YES vocals and structures (from the eighties era), mixed with MARILLION's guitar, and a strong FM touch ala FOREIGNER, STYX, SAGA or JOURNEY, and you'll have a good idea of this excellent music, enhanced by a very professional production".
Good clean fun. Recommended for those who enjoy radio-friendly yet tasteful, up-beat rock.
II. Aelian is an EDM producer from France who specializes in creating dubstep and drum n' bass tracks.
In My Heart
Aelian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing can change when life becames death,
But the story is the same and the sound of the rain
Is only in my heart
Now I remember all few days
When my eyes met your trembling hands
I didn't see the hidden words you talked to me.
You believe the sun now is over
But I bet he has it on his side.
Don't forget you must have faith
He left here, something more, than a live bed.
We didn't say many words.
I didn't stay so close to you
Also when we ate at the same table.
Togather we didn't spent much time
Togather, we didn't watch T.V.
And now there's only powder on your chair,
I understand... I loved you.
Tears of my cries cut my face as a knife
But the crowd around me can't see my invisible wrinkles
Listen to my voice only you can do it from tonight.
I always wished time was staying with me
But your eyes let me know promises never kept
I was a child and you were my guide
Now my age would be ready for pain but
I can't flight against the shadows of wind
I never bet about my way of confusion
But I can't forget the last time I saw you.
Please, tell me one more tale
Please, show me the last free land,
So I can think you still run over the hills
I didn't give you all I had,
You gave me much more than you had
But is not this one a story of the man?
So I ask you...
Forgive me!
Don't worry, I'll got time all the days
Believe me, I'll not cry for the race,
Could you show me (yourself) any time any day?
You stole whisper in my heart
The lyrics of Aelian's song "In My Heart" convey a melancholic and reflective tone as the singer remembers a past love and regrets not showing their love fully. The first verse starts with the realization that it may be too late to understand if what they had was right. The second line speaks of the finality of death and how nothing can change it. However, the story of their love remains the same and the sound of the rain only exists in the singer's heart. The next verse talks about how the singer didn't see the hidden words their love spoke to them and how they wish they could go back and be more present in that moment.
Moving onto the chorus, the singer speaks about how their partner believed that the sun had set on their love but the singer still has faith that it can be resurrected. The next verse speaks of how they didn't spend much time together, but now there's only powder on their partner's chair and they realize they should have given them more love. The bridge talks about how the singer's tears have cut their face and how the people around them can't see their invisible pain. The last verse speaks of how the singer wishes to see their love one more time and how they regret not cherishing their moments together. They ask for forgiveness and for their love to show them a sign that they are still with them.
Overall, the lyrics of "In My Heart" tell a story of regret and remorse for not showing love when it was present, and the pain that comes with realizing it is too late. The singer wishes for one more moment to cherish their love and to make things right before it's too late.
Line by Line Meaning
May be it's too late to understand if it was right
It's now uncertain whether or not I made the right choice, maybe it's too late to know
Nothing can change when life becames death,
Death is the end, and nothing can reverse its irreversible transformation
But the story is the same and the sound of the rain
The story of life and death is unchanging, exemplified by the sound of rain that remains the same
Is only in my heart
It's only remembered by me, in my heart
Now I remember all few days
I recall the few days that have since passed
When my eyes met your trembling hands
I observed your trembling hands, gazing into your eyes
I didn't see the hidden words you talked to me.
I didn't catch the underlying message you tried to convey
You believe the sun now is over
You believe that hope and positivity are gone
But I bet he has it on his side.
I bet that the sun still shines, and it's on our side
Don't forget you must have faith
Don't forget that holding on to faith is crucial
He left here, something more, than a live bed.
When he died, he left something of himself here that was beyond the physical realm
We didn't say many words.
We didn't speak extensively
I didn't stay so close to you
I wasn't as physically close to you as I could have been
Also when we ate at the same table.
Even when we dined together
Together we didn't spend much time
The amount of time we were physically together was not significant
Together, we didn't watch T.V.
We never watched TV together
And now there's only powder on your chair,
Now your chair is empty, dusty, and unused
I understand...I loved you.
Now I understand that I loved you deeply
Tears of my cries cut my face as a knife
Crying heavily feels like being cut by a knife because of the pain
But the crowd around me can't see my invisible wrinkles
Even though I have inner turmoil, the people around me can't see the evidence on the surface
Listen to my voice only you can do it from tonight.
Pay attention to my voice, you can only hear it from tonight onward
I always wished time was staying with me
I always hoped that time would slow down and allow me to keep the moments I cherish forever
But your eyes let me know promises never kept
Your eyes revealed to me that the promises made could not be kept
I was a child and you were my guide
I was naïve, and you were my mentor
Now my age would be ready for pain but
I am now mature enough to endure pain, but
I can't flight against the shadows of wind
I can't fight against the unknown or intangible forces that might hurt me
I never bet about my way of confusion
I was never confident about the path I should take while confused
But I can't forget the last time I saw you.
I will never forget the last time I saw you
Please, tell me one more tale
Please narrate one last story to me
Please show me the last free land,
Please present to me the remaining land where I still have freedom
So I can think you still run over the hills
I can imagine that you are still alive and running freely over the hills
I didn't give you all I had,
I regret that I didn't give you everything I could
You gave me much more than you had
You gave me much more than you were capable of giving
But is not this one a story of the man?
But isn't this a common human story?
So I ask you...Forgive me!
Therefore, I now plead for forgiveness
Don't worry, I'll got time all the days
Fear not, I will have enough time for everything every day
Believe me, I'll not cry for the race,
Trust me, I won't shed tears for the competition
Could you show me (yourself) any time any day?
Can you show yourself to me anytime, any day?
You stole whisper in my heart
You woke up poignant feelings inside of me
