Lyrics>
Solo tu col calore
Quel mattino che rinasce intorno al sole
Cosa può più importare
Se la pelle tua si lascia accarezzare
Risvegliarsi ormai per me
Non ha senso senza te
Solo tu (Solo tu)
Stamattina
Per alzarmi ancora un giorno insieme a te
Solo tu fuori a cena
Soli con l'intimità di una candela
E sicuri di creare
L'atmosfera giusta di chi vuole amare
Impazienti come mai
Nel silenzio intorno a noi
Solo tu (Tu)
Questa sera
Per alzarmi ancora un giorno insieme a te
Solo tu (Solo, solo, solo tu)
Solo, solo, solo tu
Solo tu (Solo, solo, solo tu)
Qui vicino
Le mie voglie tra i capelli sul cuscino
Solo tu mi sai dare
Cose vecchie sempre nuove da sognare
Mille volte, tu lo sai
Non è stato uguale mai
Solo tu (Solo, solo, solo tu)
Notte intera
Per svegliarmi ancora un giorno insieme a te

Apparently Antonella made a change in the lyrics in the second stanza of the Spanish version in this song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrKhLb2XYQE
Solo tú
Bajo el cielo
Me recuerdas que la vida es solo un vuelo
Que más da
El mundo entero
Si el amor es nuestro amigo más sincero
Eres la única razón
Que encontró mi corazón
Solo tú
Esta mañana
Me das luz para encender un día más

Solo tú
Frente a frente
Siempre solos aunque estemos con la gente
Entre ellos
Nos movemos
Les hablamos aunque no los entendemos
Nos saludan al pasar
Como el sol saluda al mar
Solo tú
Esta tarde
Me das luz para encender un día más

Solo tú
A mi lado
Haces bello lo peor de mi pasado
Solo tú
Sabes darme
Cosas nuevas solamente con mirarme
Nunca estuve tan feliz
Como ahora junto a ti
Solo tú
Noche a noche
Me das luz para encender un día más.

Subject matter not everyone's cup of tea,(it's about Hell or Lucifer) I don't really pay attention to lyrics. But this song comes up on my rotation on my mobile app and I'm rockin' hard and hit repeat.
Proof that Heavy Metal musicians can play more than simple songs. I think that it helps if listeners have a good understanding of Heavy Metal rock guitar technic.

That is really good song, off really good album called "Burnt Offernings" by Iced Earth, released in 1995.You should try that whole album, or at least that song "Dante's Inferno"- the studio version.

This Epic song is the Song of the Day, Echoes (live) at Pompeii. There however are different Endings or Part 2 of this song. My preference is from the Pompeii CD where I spliced Part 1 & 2 together and it clocks in around 25 minutes. This ending ends with what I call a longing or spiritual cry from the soul.

This is the version of Echoes I'm talking about, in this video.

I know some Audiophiles listen to this song, I saw such a person audition Focal speakers with Vanessa Mae-Storm. I believe it's her rendition of Vivaldi's Four Seasons- Summer, where she shows off her mastery by sawing on a violin.

Blackmore's Night has produced several good songs and IMO exhibit good stereo music. This is one such song that I like of theirs that you may like as well, Writing On the Wall.

In 1972 I was shocked by the cristal clear Progressive vocal from Annie Haslam and the expressive and refinated arrangements from the band. I bought this LP without listening by the beautiful cover.
Great Band.

I dont know Kitaro albums but in the 1980s had a friend that was a fan of Kitaro and Foreingner.

Mag · « **Reply #16 on:** 3 Nov 2023, 06:51 pm »

I first came across Kitaro around the mid 90's having borrowed a few cds from the local library in the New Age section. It took me a few listens to adjust to oriental style of Kitaro's early albums. Kojiki was an album I got on sacd which is an excellent recording, then I think it was Enchanted Evening which is my favorite. Now I have several other albums as well.
Kitaro and David Arkenstone IMO are creative geniuses, Yanni was a genius as well in his earlier work.
