Now We Are Free (Progressive Trance Remix)

"Fantasy" is based on "Folia" by Alessandro Scarlatti and Piano Sonata No. 17, Op. 31/2 "Tempest" III. allegretto by Ludwig van Beethoven.

A vibrant dream, immersed in light,
I'll paint the sky, embrace the night.
A lucid sea of brilliant hues
Illuminates my soul.

The universe empowers me,
My heart and mind in harmony,
My visions and imaginings,
My castle in the air.

I dream in color, I see
A new beginning waiting for me.
I dream in color, I see
My own illusion, my fantasy.

Now We Are Free

"My Lagan Love" is a song to a traditional Irish air. The English lyrics have been credited to Joseph Campbell (1879–1944).

The Lagan referred to in the title most likely pertains to the area of good farming land between Donegal and Derry known in Irish as An Lagán. The Lagan is the river that runs through Belfast.  The Lenanshee (leanan sidhe) are fairy lovers of humans. And when they get riled up, they can cause the human's death. The song, superficially a love song or lullaby, is filled with symbolism pertaining to the fight for Irish freedom from English domination.

"Labyrinth" is based on Passacaglia in D minor by Christian Friedrich Witt (1838-1882), formerly attributed to J.S. Bach, BWH Anh. 182.

The walls of time
The shadows of my mind
There's no place to hide
From the demons inside
A swirling maze
I am afraid
I'm crumbling from within
Will this be the end?

My fingers turn cold
I stumble down this twisted road
The future unclear
It's the labyrinth I fear

Find me
Save me
I can't stay
Lift me
Wake me
Light my way

Heal me
Cure me
Set me free

Labyrinth

"Dolce Vento" is a beautiful Italian aria written by Chris Broom, with lyrics by Nick Broom.

 O si, salvami dolce vento (Oh yes, save me gentle breeze)
Mi fai ricordare (You remind me of)
La felicità (Happiness)

E la mia patria cara (Of my beloved homeland)
Ma il mio squardo (But my gaze)
Non le vede più (Sees it no more)

Qui mi sento lontana (Here I feel far away)
In quest’oscurità (In this darkness)
Che mi chirconda senza pietà (Which surrounds me without pity)

Ma non perdo speranza (But I don’t lose hope)
Perché so che verrà (Because I know that)
Il mio giorno di libertà (My day of freedom will come)

Così sognerò quel momento (So I will dream of that moment)
Che posso tornare (When I can return)
A casa finalmente (Home at last)

Dolce Vento

The Final Countdown

"Aria (Cantilena)" is from Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5, written by Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959). The original version of this features the cellos playing pizzicato, and it moves at pretty quick pace. I decided to slow it down a bit by giving the cello a deep and melodic presence and adding in some electronic elements. My track features Nicole Pinnell on the cello and she did a wonderful job. This is a vocalise, which means the entire song is sung on a vowel with no lyrics. I first heard this on Sissel's album Into Paradise and thought it had such a lovely melody. Here is a video of her singing it.

Aria (Cantilena)

"Hymn to the Forest is based on Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92 Allegretto by Ludwig van Beethoven.

Sounds from the shadows faintly approaching
Beckon my senses pulling me in
Calling my soul to join with it's forces
Music will take me into the night
Slowing my step as voices surround me
Drowning my senses, leading me on
Now I can feel it softly embracing
Finding it's way to my beating heart
I cannot help but hearken to music
Join with this serenade of the night
I cannot help but hearken to music
Join with this serenade of the night

I will sing with your melody
Blend with the chorus
Lift up your voices
Hymn to the forest
Honoring all that's before us
Praising the source of goodness and light
Hymn to the forest
Honoring all that's before us
Praising the source of goodness and light

Feel it
piercing through darkness
chanting it's prayer to heaven in gratitude
I can endure through all of your dark illusions
Music has come to take me home.
I can endure through all of your dark illusions
Music has come to take me home.

Validus (powerful)
Acceptus (welcome)
Et mirus (and wonderful)
Amplexus (embrace)
In vieta (unconquered)
Et liber (and free)
Nec metu (without fear)
Resurgam (I shall arise)

Validus (powerful)
Acceptus (welcome)
Et mirus (and wonderful)
Amplexus (embrace)
In vieta (unconquered)
Et liber (and free)
Et nec metu (and without fear)

The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
Wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
Passage out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The way out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
