Imaginaerum Update11. November 2011A fantastic day everyone!It's Wednesday the 9th of November and the first single of Imaginaerum called "Storytime" is finally out today. It's part 1 of a very long homecoming, 4 years in the making. Makes me feel a bit sad, fairly relieved and ultimately proud. Sad that a certain journey is finally coming to an end, relieved that everything worked out beautifully, and proud of the band members' and the fellow imagineers' effort in getting this colossal project together. Thank you.I saw the first edits of Imaginaerum The Movie a week ago. Stobe and Mathieu have been working with the edits a few weeks now and the parts I saw were very convincing. The demo scores (by the tech wizard Petri Alanko) are working out wonderfully, even though we still need to toy around with them quite a bit. The special effects guys have also begun their work, so once we get all these layers together some truly mind blowing movie magic will be born. Basically now we just have to wait patiently and try not to breathe too much into their backs, and let them do their magic. In the meanwhile, loads of promo and rehearsals still to be done. Such exciting times,Tuomas
t was the night beforeWhen all through the worldNo words, no dreams,Then one dayA writer by a fireImagined all GaiaTook a journey into a child-man's heartA painter on the shoreImagined all the worldWithin the snowflake on his palmUnframed by poetryA canvas of awePlanet earthFalling back into the starsI am the voice of never-never-landThe innocence, the dreams of every manI am the empty crib of Peter PanA silent kite against the blue, blue skyEvery chimney, every moonlit sightI am the story that will read you realEvery memory that you hold dearI am the journeyI am the destinationI am the homeThe tale that reads youA way to taste the nightThe elusive highFollow the madnessAlice, you know once didImaginarium, a dream emporiumCaress the talesAnd they will dream you realA storyteller's gameLips that intoxicateThe core of all lifeIs a limitless chest of talesI am the voice of never-never-landThe innocence, the dreams of every manI am the empty crib of Peter PanA silent kite against the blue, blue skyEvery chimney, every moonlit sightI am the story that will read you realEvery memory that you hold dearI am the voice of never-never-landThe innocence, the dreams of every manSearching heavens for another earthI am the voice of never-never-landThe innocence, the dreams of every manI am the empty crib of Peter PanA silent kite against the blue, blue skyEvery chimney, every moonlit sightI am the story that will read you realEvery memory that you hold dear
La letra:Don't give me love, don't give me faithWisdom nor pride, give innocence insteadDon't give me love, I've had my shareBeauty nor rest, give me truth insteadA crow flew to me, kept its distanceSuch a proud creationI saw its soul, envied its prideBut needed nothing it hadAn owl came to me, old and wisePierced right through my youthI learned its ways, envied its senseBut needed nothing it hadDon't give me love, don't give me faithWisdom nor pride, give innocence insteadDon't give me love, I've had my shareBeauty nor rest, give me truth insteadA dove came to me, had no fearIt rested on my armI touched its calm, envied its loveBut needed nothing it hadA swan of white, she came to meThe lake mirrored her beauty sweetI kissed her neck, adored her graceBut needed nothing she could giveGot to grieve her, got to wreck itGot to grieve her, got to wreck itGot to grieve her, got to wreck itDon't give me love, don't give me faithWisdom nor pride, give innocence insteadDon't give me love, I've had my shareBeauty nor rest, give me truth instead
