Sirenia - A shadow of your own self

Band:Sirenia
Song:A shadow of your own self
Album:At sixes and sevens
Genre:Symphonic Metal

Lyric:
Tell me now you sinner
you run for a better world
Tell me why you'd leave her
despite all the hurt
Don't deny that you once tried to mend
the circumstances now out of hand
And don't deny your life's a living hell
you're a shadow of your own self

Tell me now you sinner
still lost in your secret world
Tell me now you've seen her
you know how she hurts
Don't deny that you will understand
the circumstances of pain at hand
And don't assert that we will both survive
'cause I can't take more of life

Stretch your arms out for the fire
for another dark desire
In the fields you burn with loss again
as you dream your life away

Say: would you never walk away
on the break of a coming day
Would you end this line with me

Would you like to waste away what we've ever been?
Would you like to come along with me?
Would you like to lay to rest our insanity?
Would you like to cope for the unreal?

Fabienne's album was THE BEST. Her voice is just amazing, so haunting and beautiful.

@AntipaladinPedigri you're welcome, and thank you, for not being like some of the other's I've encountered up here -shakes head- growling like that would be fun to do normally, I sometimes will try to say Ares(have a kitten named that) and i some what do something of a growl but very very short and not safe to do often haha might even be more of a groaning with a lil growl

[AntipaladinPedigri]

@fateswolves Wow, thanks. I didn't know they have a side project. Sure, diversity is great but I would severly miss Jacobssen's growls as they are one of my favourite. I miss grunts in Sirenia's new songs but I can at least listen to his side project Mortemia. As for growls, I've read and watched videos about it, so I know what you're talking about. I wish I could learn to growl properly though.

@AntipaladinPedigri would this be a bad thing then base on this shuddered thingy? haha, I know in their side project Shadowgarden, offer little growls, I also can share, that some people that learn how to do the growls will take breaks for fear of ruining their ablility. it's kind of like with karate "chi" you bring it from within, with these growls it's not from the throat but the stomach

[AntipaladinPedigri]

@fateswolves For a moment I thought about Draconian stopping doing the growls and I shuddered.

What a fantastic slice of awesome.

@fateswolves Ummm...I think you need to look at my comment again because I clearly stated that THIS song was NOT screaming and that I love Sirenia. SOME of their songs however DO have screaming (like many of the songs in their Elixir for Existence album though it's clearly not as much as the more death metal bands. And my being able to make their words has nothing to do with my distaste of screaming because it's still SCREAMING. Grunting and growls are just that. I don't bother with death metal.

[fateswolves]

@ThePaganSun If you want screaming go look up Psyclon nine, this here is not screaming, let me ask you. during times you listen to this "Scream" Can you make out what is said? if yes, then NO, it is not screaming(growling-grunting) just as with Theater of Tragedy did and Tristania. hell, Draconian still does the growls...and it doesn't mean they're in a "cliche" as you called it. bands have paths, choices and do as they well =)enjoy what you will

[ThePaganSun]

I like ALL Sirenia! They do a great job of making the songs mostly about the melody and vocals, and mostly use the screaming rarely and only to enhance the song. But I really like how they're aiming away from the screaming now. The gods know how many cliche metal bands use senseless, unmelodious screaming! One less is one better! I'll always love this band! Rock on Sirienia!
