(Yes: "Awaken", live auf dem Montreux Festival 2003; original aus dem Album "Going for the One", 1977)
High vibration, go on to the sun
Oh, let my heart dreaming past a mortal as me
Where can I be?
Wish the sun to stand still
Reaching out to touch our all being
Past all mortal as we, here we can be
Suns | High | Streams | Through
Awaken gentle mass touch
Strong | Dreams | Reign | Here
Awaken gentle mass touch
Star | Song | Age | Less
Awaken gentle mass touching
Workings of man, set to ply out historical life
Reregaining the flower of the fruit of his tree
All awakening, all restoring you
Workings of man, crying out from the fire set aflame
By his blindness to see that the warmth of his being
Is promised for his seeing, his reaching so clearly
Workings of man, driven far from the path
Rereleased in inhibitions so that
All is left for you
Master of images, songs cast a light on you
Hark through dark ties that tunnel us out of sane existence
In challenge as direct as eyes see young stars assemble
Master of light, all pure chance
As exists cross divided in all encircling mode
Oh closely guided plan, awaken in our heart
Master of soul, set to touch
All impenetrable youth, ask away
That thought be contact with all that's clear
Be honest with yourself
There's no doubt
No doubt
Master of time, setting sail
Over all our lands, and as we look
Forever closer, shall we now bid
Farewell ... farewell ...
High vibration, go on to the sun
Oh let my heart dreaming past a mortal as me
Where can I be?
Wish the sun to stand still
Reaching out to touch our all being
Past all mortal as we, here we can be
Like the time I ran away
Turned around and you were standing close to me
Die Schellack-LP hab ich noch. Während so manch andere Opa-Band aus dem 70ern mit geschlossenen Augen nicht wiederzuerkennen wäre, habe ich das Gefühl, dass zwischen 1977 und dem Montreux-Festival absolut kein Qualitätsunterschied zu hören ist. Immer noch Awaken-Gänsehaut bis unter die Haarspitzen- perfekt.
AntwortenLöschenDer Stil nennt sich Romantical-Rock (ebenso Genesis).
Hier Mr. Rick Wakemann: Ab Min. 2:45 tritt er das Gaspedal bis zum Anschlag durch.

@ Altauto: Die Vinyl-LP mit dem dreiseitigen Klappcover habe ich selbstverständlich ebenfalls. :-)
AntwortenLöschenHier gibt's noch eine hübsche Live-Session, in der sich Wakeman mit Jon Lord, dem nicht minder begabten Keyboarder von Deep Purple, ein kleines "Tasten-Duell" liefert - und beide benutzen dabei (vornehmlich) ihre heute kaum mehr verwendeten Lieblingsinstrumente aus den 70ern: Wakeman den analogen Moog-Synthie und Lord seine gute, alte Hammond-Orgel.
Liebe Grüße!
