[02:57.72]Overhead the albatross [03:01.20]Hangs motionless upon the air [03:05.01]And deep beneath the rolling waves [03:08.91]In labyrinths of coral caves [03:12.99]An echo of a distant time [03:16.63]Comes willowing across the sand [03:20.22]And everything is green and submarine [03:28.03]And no one showed us to the land [03:31.70]And no one knows the where's or why's [03:35.46]Something stirs and something tries [03:38.96]And starts to climb toward the light [03:45.17] [04:11.77]Strangers passing in the street [04:15.28]By chance two separate glances meet [04:18.89]And I am you and what I see is me [04:26.61]And do I take you by the hand [04:30.85]And lead you through the land [04:33.78]And help me understand [04:36.29]The best I can [04:41.28]And no one calls us to move on [04:44.53]And no one forces down our eyes [04:48.52]No one speaks and no one tries [04:52.21]No one flies around the sun [04:58.22] [19:11.47]Cloundless everyday you fall [19:14.94]Upon my waking eyes [19:18.61]Inviting and inciting me [19:22.30]To rise [19:26.19]And through the window in the wall [19:29.73]Come streaming in on sunlight wings [19:33.51]A million bright ambassadors of morning [19:40.74]And no one sings me lulabyes [19:44.70]And no one makes me close my eyes [19:48.39]So I throw the windows wide [19:52.02]And call to you across the sky [19:58.38]
吉他的奏曲轻浅,毫不喧宾夺主,琴声也不深沉,其他的音效也不突出。全部音乐都似是为了烘托主音的歌声。主音的声线柔和,听起来有一种懒洋洋很舒服的麻醉感。其中一首比较典型的仙音作品是《IN THE FOREST》,前奏用上了爱尔兰风格的节奏,随后的唱腔带着迷幻伴随相对较大的回音(ECHO)效果,可以说是保留风格的点题之作。另一首《DRAWN BY THE SEY》的吉他伴奏则沿袭了传统的仙音派风格,用短促迅速的敲击划出一丝丝飘渺的音色,歌手的吟唱也调动了全曲的空洞虚幻乐感。但我始终觉得主打歌《ECHOES》是该专集最出色的一曲,曲调简单清新,由钢琴和弦乐合成,女声的演唱几乎是在钢琴的独奏下完成的,将女主音声线的轻柔和亮丽两种毫不相干的特质完全烘托出来。还有长长的大段的哼唱,更是完美无匹。I‘M CALLING FOR YOU,FOR YOU,AND I’M FALLING FOR YOU,FOR YOU.。。。单单这开首一段,已是让人飘飘欲仙了。
