I saw a friend of my best friend's brother post a video on his feed but I didn't give much thought to it. Like a month or two later, I don't know why, I got curious and went to his timeline to watch the video and it was awesome. It was a gush of fresh air... but that's not the song I'm posting today. </span><div><span style="font-family: arial;">The song I'm posting today came out some months later and became my favorite instantly. Not only because the song perse but also because I find the video really cool. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I kinda feel the song has power in it. The Mongolian deep throat singing is very... tribalistic and transmits a sort of energy that you can't find even in guttural death metal songs. This feels like it comes from the soul... and the video compliments the song so nicely!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Grab a nice pair of headphones, turn off the lights and listen to the drums, the Mongolian guitars, and every other autochthonous instrument the band has for you. Enjoy every detail and lose yourself in this feast!<br /></span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Without more ado, here is the song.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">

It's funny how our tastes in music have not changed but broadened. I used to love power metal and power metal only, I used to think my taste in music was vastly superior and one day I started to listen to some other music and appreciate it. I guess my tastes have matured... or at least that's how I want to think. This time I bring you a song from a group that I found by chance. My son likes to listen to The Hu band (the metal band from Mongolia) and we decided to search for a YouTube playlist with music from similar artists. We found it and pressed play.</br>
At first, we heard songs that were expected even if we didn't know the bands. We got Heilung, Skald, Wardruna, and Mongolian throat singing to mention a few, the funny thing was when we started to listen to a whistle and a banjo and we were like "eh... what's that?" And that's how we found The Dead South and one of their most famous songs to date: In hell I'll be in good company. I immediately liked it and I started to listen to them. It's not what you would think I listen to but damn these guys are good and they are now part of my playlists.
Here is the song, and if I can recommend another one it would be Broken Cowboy.

This song is ideal for those times when you want to take a break from your routine, just sit down and get some really good headphones ... Think about what you've lost and what you really love in this life.<br />
<br />
I had the great opportunity to hear this song live, I'm not a big fan of Eagles and had never heard this tune before, but when I first heard this song I fell in love.<br />

Moon shining down through the palms<br />
shadows moving on the sand<br />
somebody whispering the twenty-third psalm<br />
dusty rifle in his trembling hands<br />
<br />
somebody trying just to stay alive<br />
he got promises to keep<br />
over the ocean in america<br />
far away and fast asleep<br />
<br />
silent stars blinking in the blackness of an endless sky<br />
cold silver satellites, ghostly caravans passing by<br />
galaxies unfolding, new worlds being born<br />
pilgrims and prodigals creeping toward the dawn<br />
but it's a long road out of eden<br />
<br />
music blasting from an suv<br />
on a bright and sunny day<br />
rolling down the interstate<br />
in the good ol' usa<br />
<br />
having lunch at the petroleum club<br />
smokin' fine cigars and swappin' lives<br />
he said: "gimme 'nother slice o' that barbecued brisket!"<br />
"gimme ‘nother piece o' that pecan pie!"<br />
<br />
freeways flickering, cell phones chiming a tune<br />
we're riding to utopia, road map says we'll be arriving soon<br />
captains of the old order clinging to the reins<br />
assuring us these aches inside are only growing pains<br />
but it's a long road out of eden<br />
<br />
back home i was so certain<br />
the path was very clear<br />
but now i have to wonder: “what are we doing here?”<br />
I'm not counting on tomorrow<br />
and i can't tell wrong from right<br />
but i'd give anything to be there in your arms tonight<br />
<br />
weaving down the american highway<br />
through the litter and the wreckage and the cultural junk<br />
bloated with entitlement, loaded on propaganda<br />
and now we're driving dazed and drunk<br />
<br />
been down the road to damascus,<br />
the road to mandalay<br />
met the ghost of caesar on the appian way<br />
he said, "it's hard to stop this bingeing, once you get a taste."<br />
"but the road to empire is a bloody stupid waste."<br />
<br />
behold the bitten apple - the power of the tools<br />
but all the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools<br />
and it's a long road out of eden.... </blockquote>

Mr. L has had a weird dream several nights, showing him visions of the future world, warnings of man's demise, amazing flights through the stars, a life beneath the waves and cold machines rising from the deep. His nurse's reaction to the revelations is one of indifference, asking him if he has taken his meds, to relax, wondering if he feels okay, even suggesting an increase in the dosage of his medication. Soon after, Mr. L, who reveals that they have spoken to him on the dreams, claims that "The truth is out there/is in here", but his nurse ask "Why should we believe you?" and forces him to take another pill.

The one thing that cannot be argued is that you can clearly identify them, either from the first albums like Tales from the Twilight World, all the way to A Night at the Opera. This german band has shown a very interesting approach to revitalize all those stories, myths and tales of old, which for some reason seem to attract the metal community: Arthurian lore, Fantasy in general and perhaps the theme which more identifies them, J. R. R. Tolkien. And here is where <span style="font-style: italic;">Nightfall</span> cuts in.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The album Nightfall in Middle-Earth is a theme album describing the events told in the Silmarillion written by J. R. R. Tolkien, specifically the War of the Jewels. What makes this album such a huge hit (many discovered Blind Guardian through this album, including myself) is the more instrumental and orchestral approach, which perhaps is not as heavy, speedy or powerful as preview releases like <span style="font-style: italic;">Somewhere Far Beyond</span> or <span style="font-style: italic;">Imaginations from the Other Side</span>, but the actual power comes forth from these arrangements mixed in with choir-like vocals, narrations and interludes which make the album a bit long (22 songs crossing the hour-threshold) but quite different as well. Just pay attention to the drums through the whole song <span style="font-style: italic;">Nightfall</span>, the bells in the background of the chorus and the changes in all the different voices and you'll realize how amazing this song is. I could say that it's perhaps one of the most complex songs written by this band.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Nightfall, tells us the story of Fëanor and his seven sons mourning all the mayhem and destruction brought upon by Morgoth and their oath to revenge on him, in spite to the mighty Valar.</span></span><br /><br /><br /></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/2/24/2337136/xspf_player_slim.swf?playlist_url=http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/2/24/2337136/BlindGuardian_Nightfall.zip&player_title=Blind Guardian -

I was listening to the only radio I ever listen to (www.epickrockradio.com) and this song was played. I had an amazing feeling of nostalgia 'cause the last time I heard this song was a couple of years ago (seriously). I felt a little of the same feeling I had that very day I listened to it for the very first time and it gave me chills. The song is not über cool but it has a meaning to me.
