La culpa es de Asth...

Por poner este video en su blog:




El caso es que, quizá por caprichos del destino, no había escuchado nada de esta banda que, ahora, no puedo sacarme de la cabeza. Me viene a la cabeza aquellas partidas cuando empecé a jugar al rol, matando monstruos, salvando reinos... magnífica.

Asth no ha puesto la letra, pero creo que debeis conocerla:

They came for him one winter's night.
Arrested, he was bound.
They said there'd been a robbery,
his pistol had been found.

They marched him to the station house,
he waited for the dawn.
And as they led him to the dock,
he knew that he'd been wronged.
"You stand accused of robbery,"
he heard the bailiff say.
He knew without an alibi,
tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
for ten long years he'll count the days.
Over the mountains and the seas,
a prisoner's life for him there'll be.

He knew that it would cost him dear,
but yet he dare not say.
Where he had been that fateful night,
a secret it must stay.
He had to fight back tears of rage.
His heart beat like a drum.
For with the wife of his best friend,
he spent his final night of freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas,
back in her arms he swears he'll be.
Over the hills and far away.

Over the hills and,
over the hills and,
over the hills and far away.

Each night within his prison cell,
he looks out through the bars.
He reads the letters that she wrote.
One day he'll know the taste of freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms he swears she'll be.

Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas,
back in her arms he swears he'll be.

Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms is where she'll be.

Over the hills,
over the hills and far away.

Over the hills,
over the hills and far away.

Preciosa, perfecta... y el resto de sus canciones también... ahi he estado jugando al Guild Wars, con la musica de Nightwish de fondo... épico.

Gracias, Asth.

Si, "Over the Hills es una peazo de canción, pero no es original de nightwish, sino de un tal Gary Moore. Yo casi me quedo con la original... tiene un toque a pelicula de aventuras ochentera que me hace mucha gracia XD

Por cierto, mirando ahora la wikipedia he visto que también ha sido versionada por Saurom Lamderth, bajo el titulo "La disolución de la compañía". Y que Led Zeppelin tienen una canción llamada "Over the hills and far away".

u_u Ya lo puse en mi blog, la original de Gary Moore. La de Led no tiene nada que ver con esta.

Jo, no puedo creer q no hubieras escuchado nada de Nightwish. La lástima es que ahora han cambiado a la cantante y han perdido bastante pero bueno...

Yo te recomiendo Sleeping sun, Nemo, The pharaoh sails to Orion, Elventpath... bueno muchas XDDDDD
