Unity

En février 2011 a commencé un long projet des fans du site officiel de Tuomas afin de lui composer une chanson. Le projet a réuni des personnes du monde entier et a enfin abouti fin novembre 2011. Tuomas a été particulièrement touché par ce cadeau ; voilà en anglais ce qu'il avait écrit à ce sujet.

"First I got a ticket to Disneyland as a Christmas present from my mother in 1990 and now this! "Unity" is such a splendid piece of music, heart and soul which echoes the purest love, companionship and goodness. It made me feel, oddly enough, serene. It made me blush. It made my griffin dance through the skies. Listening to it makes me want to do more and more and more music for this world and its inhabitants. 

Bottom line is; the song and the thought behind it touched me deep, still does, and I can but thank everyone involved and around it. It is a song and performance of purest Splendour and Truth. "

La chanson entière (plus de 10 minutes) peut être achetée sur ce site en versions originale, instrumentale et orchestrale. Le radio edit de la chanson peut être écouté sur Youtube et, à partir d'aujourd'hui, ce superbe morceau en entier peut également être écouté sur Spotify, en tapant "anthony berlin unity". Bonne écoute ! ;) Voici les paroles de la chanson :

A boy was born unto us with songs from the dreamer’s world
With seas as his guide, he looks forward to the flight
Wind rushing through his hair, through trees, flies in the air
And magic all around he looks onward to the night

He wakes up alone in bed and feel he must write it down
The stories he shares spill from deep within his soul
The poet comes forth to free a bleeding heart
An empathic man looking to escape the world

Show us brother, escape from lives hard times
And trust in us to walk with you together
We can be stronger united as one

Your creations touch so many lives
East to West they call for the Wish of Night
Five become one, keeping your dream alive

Destiny calls the wind of change
Testing your strength to the bitter end
Once there was peace
Now remains doubt inside

Shattered trust and your broken soul wept
Far too long he corrupted the peace
And through dark days the decisions tares forth to be
Free from the one that delivered the strain

Filled with hope
A new dawn approaches
Back to life (Light from Sweden)
Poets dream rekindled

Smile our brother, leave all your pain behind
Now we walk with you in this world together
Now we’re united as one

United with The Dreamer through the journey of time
Imagination brings peace from the looming path of reality
Standing strong together we see through the escapists eyes
Gazing upon a world of magic and dreams
Reaching out to be guided on our flight

Your words and your music has touched our very souls
Our kindred brother, you share your songs with us, you gave us life
And as time goes on and on, we stand right here with you
Always grateful for stories you share
All your songs we all sing out-loud
Respecting what you create

Tuomas now it’s our time to write
We devote this song from our hearts
This thank you formed from much respect
Always with you from now until the end

Smile our brother, leave all our pain behind
Now we walk with you in this world together
Now we’re united as one
Thank you brother, we left our pain behind
Now we walk with you in this world together
Now we’re united as one
