[02:57.72]Overhead the albatross [03:01.20]Hangs motionless upon the air [03:05.01]And deep beneath the rolling waves [03:08.91]In labyrinths of coral caves [03:12.99]An echo of a distant time [03:16.63]Comes willowing across the sand [03:20.22]And everything is green and submarine [03:28.03]And no one showed us to the land [03:31.70]And no one knows the where's or why's [03:35.46]Something stirs and something tries [03:38.96]And starts to climb toward the light [03:45.17] [04:11.77]Strangers passing in the street [04:15.28]By chance two separate glances meet [04:18.89]And I am you and what I see is me [04:26.61]And do I take you by the hand [04:30.85]And lead you through the land [04:33.78]And help me understand [04:36.29]The best I can [04:41.28]And no one calls us to move on [04:44.53]And no one forces down our eyes [04:48.52]No one speaks and no one tries [04:52.21]No one flies around the sun [04:58.22] [19:11.47]Cloundless everyday you fall [19:14.94]Upon my waking eyes [19:18.61]Inviting and inciting me [19:22.30]To rise [19:26.19]And through the window in the wall [19:29.73]Come streaming in on sunlight wings [19:33.51]A million bright ambassadors of morning [19:40.74]And no one sings me lulabyes [19:44.70]And no one makes me close my eyes [19:48.39]So I throw the windows wide [19:52.02]And call to you across the sky [19:58.38]
吉他的奏曲輕淺,毫不喧賓奪主,琴聲也不深沉,其他的音效也不突出。全部音樂都似是為了烘托主音的歌聲。主音的聲線柔和,聽起來有一種懶洋洋很舒服的麻醉感。其中一首比較典型的仙音作品是《IN THE FOREST》,前奏用上了愛爾蘭風格的節奏,隨後的唱腔帶著迷幻伴隨相對較大的回音(ECHO)效果,可以說是保留風格的點題之作。另一首《DRAWN BY THE SEY》的吉他伴奏則沿襲了傳統的仙音派風格,用短促迅速的敲擊劃出一絲絲飄渺的音色,歌手的吟唱也調動了全曲的空洞虛幻樂感。但我始終覺得主打歌《ECHOES》是該專集最出色的一曲,曲調簡單清新,由鋼琴和弦樂合成,女聲的演唱幾乎是在鋼琴的獨奏下完成的,將女主音聲線的輕柔和亮麗兩種毫不相干的特質完全烘托出來。還有長長的大段的哼唱,更是完美無匹。I‘M CALLING FOR YOU,FOR YOU,AND I’M FALLING FOR YOU,FOR YOU.。。。單單這開首一段,已是讓人飄飄欲仙了。
