Title:  Night Ride Across the Caucasus
Artist: Loreena McKennitt
Album: The Book of Secrets

Ride on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride on

There are visions, there are memories
There are echoes of thundering hooves
There are fires, there is laughter
There's the sound of a thousand doves

Ride on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride on

In the velvet of the darkness
By the silhouette of silent trees
They are watching, they are waiting
They are witnessing life's mysteries

Ride on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride on

Cascading stars on the slumbering hills
They are dancing as far as the sea
Riding o'er the land, you can feel its gentle hand
Leading on to its destiny

Ride on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride on

Take me with you on this journey
Where the boundaries of time are now tossed
In cathedrals of the forest
In the words of the tongues now lost

Find the answers, ask the questions
Find the roots of an ancient tree
Take me dancing, take me singing
I'll ride on till the moon meets the sea

Ride on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride on

Ride on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride on

The album "The Book Of Secrets" was written and researched all over the world, and, following its release in 1997, would go on to sell several million copies around the globe. The album features a cast of over two dozen musical collaborators, and the eight songs contained therein, including North American hit single “The Mummers’ Dance”, leads the listener on unexpected journeys. Follow the music from ancient Byzantium to a puppet-maker's theatre in Sicily, or from the rocky island of Skellig Michael once inhabited by Irish monks in the Dark Ages to Venice and the journeys of Marco Polo, or from the tragic narrative of  “ The Highwayman” to the thunder of hooves across the Caucasus and the echoes of Dante’ s words found, unexpectedly, in a train journey across Siberia.

Εξαιρετική η κυρία και με τα σωστά προσόντα.

[Ion]

Τα φωνητικά... εννοείς;

[wings]

Πάντα. Τι άλλο κριτήριο μπορούμε να έχουμε κατά νου για μια αοιδό;

[Ion]

Πολύ σωστά! Εξάλλου, αυτή είναι η μόνιμη παρατήρησή σου για τις άδουσες κυρίες, η φωνή! :D

[wings]

Ε, ναι. Γνωστό τοις πάσι. :-)

[Ion]

Πολύ θα ήθελα να ήξερα εκ των προτέρων το σχόλιό σου για τη Melissa Etheridge, πιστεύω να τη γνωρίζεις, όταν βάλω κάποιο άσμα της!

[wings]

Αν και δυο μήνες μικρότερη από μένα, δεν μπορώ να πω - καλή είναι. Βάλε τραγούδι και θα τα βρούμε. :-)

[Ion]

1η Αυγούστου 2008: Η νύχτα των αποκαλύψεων! :D

[wings]

Γιατί, είχαμε κάτι κρυφό ως τώρα; 11/11 πάντως είναι η ονομαστική γιορτή (τι άλλο εκτός από καρέ του άσου;)

[Ion]

Φουλ της ντάμας! :D

[wings]

Μόλις χάσατε. Πού πας με ένα ταπεινό φουλ της ντάμας, Καραμήτρο;

"In the velvet of the darkness". Well done, Ion!

Αυτό δεν ήταν και τραγούδι από το έργο "Ο τελευταίος των Μοϊκανών";

Αυτό δεν ήταν και τραγούδι από το έργο "Ο τελευταίος των Μοϊκανών";

Μοιάζει αλλά δεν είναι. H ταινία κυκλοφόρησε το 1992, ενώ το cd της McKenitt το 1997.
Μάλλον θα εννοείς το κυρίαρχο μουσικό θέμα της ταινίας, που ήταν το τραγούδι "The Gael".
