On her current release "Es werde Licht", they show this on a total of 13 tracks that are full of catchiness that way. Folk instruments such as flutes, hurdy-gurdy and shawm will find their place and their merits as well as hard electric guitars and drums. Even bagpipes sounding tones and a successful production rounds out the Silberling a true listening pleasure.

The five musicians mastered both melodies that the wake-up call for movement, as well as those that invite you to dream. This already points to stimulate variety and this is offered not only on the album, but also within individual songs.

Entry into the work makes "on the run." Fast played violins, which show duel with later onset, harder guitars in the first few minutes of the game that Ignis Fatuu white rock and has a knack for melodies that stay in your head. A break and a variety of tempo changes an inclusive guitar solo makes the song interesting.

"North Wind" - one of several highlights on the album - just starts rocking and vocally reminiscent of the Böhse Onkelz. An instrumental solo in the middle of the song is able to persuade and demonstrates the playfulness of the band.
Ballad is the way of "Your Star". Understated drums, violins and acoustic guitar introduce the song that starts sounding for the first time female vocals. The delicate, almost fragile-sounding voice harmonizes excellently with the charismatic male voice.

Although the track increases in hardness - especially the middle part of this is that contrasts with quickness and change of tempo ballad to the real character - he never loses its emotional appeal.

After the intro with flute incipient "Narrenweib" has died away again faster and no less melodic, it's back to rocking. "Longing" is characterized by rifflastigen guitars, while the female vocals shine in both the two-part singing and in the 'Solo'.

With the "illusion" to create Ignis Fatuu almost give the listener a very kind, leads one hand, the bagpipe intro but mentally in the Scottish Highlands. But this illusion does not stop long, but it is harder and faster. In the verses we remain vocally here almost on a pitch.

Once a completely different one enters "Dragon Rider". With drums and bagpipes one sets the rhythm and the vocals give the song with great melody seduction. Equally unusual is the quiet end of decaying, which is also a good transition to the next ballad is lonely. " This is quite something. Play initially only flutes and acoustic guitars, it is the male singer's voice in the foreground. The track undergoes increase in the duet part. Live will probably come here a few lighters are used, so the title of the album "There Be Light will be heard" quasi. Through a varied composition of the song is about his long-winded and not 6 minutes. Certainly there are powerful ballads, but here is very much potential there.

"Spring dance" has the typical characteristics of a good rock songs on the Middle Ages and "Fiddler," which stands in for nothing. While not innovative, but quite ohrwurmtauglich and especially by Alexander's voice still very own.

Highlights for me then form again the last three songs. "Guard Time" Therefore, since it is extremely rousing and catchy, "spell" on the grounds that it once again knows hardship and emotion and can therefore combine the title of the song come alive, and "The Night" is because he simply no longer goes out of the ear. This song alone, I could run it on repeat, without me sick to hear them.

Danse Macabre has managed to once again have a band under contract, which can inspire the listener. Fans of medieval coat here should necessarily purely hear. What can I say! Not just purely listening to buy! It is worthwhile and will not be boring.

Ignis Fatuu Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ich liege wach und schaue empor
Kann nicht schlafen, stell mir vor
Spür deine Wärme, deine Hand
Ich seh‘ dein Antlitz, an der Wand

Ich liege wach und schau zur Tür
Meine Gedanken, nur bei dir
Ganz egal wo wir auch sind

Zurück nach Haus treibt mich der Wind

Refrain:
Sehnsucht, macht mich verrückt
Sehnsucht, treibt mich zurück
Sehnsucht, mein Herz bleibt Zuhaus‘
Ich muss hier raus!

Tausend Orte, schon gesehen
Wirst du mich doch nie verstehen
Mein Leben, eine andere Welt
Weiß ich dass du zu mir hältst

Refrain:
Sehnsucht, macht mich verrückt
Sehnsucht, treibt mich zurück
Sehnsucht, mein Herz bleibt Zuhaus‘
Ich muss hier raus!

Du weißt wo deine Wiege stand
Noch hängt die Laute an der Wand
Doch kann ich dich auch gut verstehen
Deine Reise, sie muss weiter gehen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ignis Fatuu's song Sehnsucht describe a longing and yearning for someone who is physically distant, but emotionally everpresent. The singer is unable to sleep and spends their time thinking about the person they miss. When they close their eyes, they can feel the person's warmth and their hand. They can even see their face on the wall. The singer's thoughts are so consumed by their longing for this person that they cannot concentrate at all. They find themselves constantly thinking about the person and are always drawn back to their "home," wherever that may be. The singer experiences an overwhelming feeling of Sehnsucht or "longing," which they cannot seem to escape from. However, despite having seen many places, the singer feels misunderstood by the rest of the world but finds solace in the fact that the person they long for understands them. The lyrics indicate that the missing person has gone on a journey and even though the singer would love for them to come back home, they can understand why they must continue. The chorus repeats the feeling of Sehnsucht as being something that drives the singer crazy and always pulls them back to their heart's desire, causing them to feel trapped and in need of escape. Ultimately it's the idea of having a place to call home that they long for the most.
