"Take me away" was featured in Edlynn's album "Tales of night and fires". This is an electronic remix made by Edlynn's bandmate Damiano.
The idea for this new arrangement is meant to give the song the original feel Edlynn wanted to convey when writing it: an ethereal melody with passionate lyrics, encased in a strongly electronic, almost futuristic arrangement (Part of the inspiration for the song was the manga "Clover" by Japanese authors CLAMP, a sort of dystopia set in a world with futuristic landscapes evoking a deep sense of loneliness.)
When the album was recorded, this track got an acoustic arrangement, to better fit the album's tone. Now you can listen to "Take me away" both in its sweet, nostalgic acoustic version and in this new, enticing electronic one.
You can download the track for free! This song is a gift to everyone who bought, enjoyed and spread "Tales of night and fires". It is also an invitation for all new listeners: please, come, take this song and discover all the others...
lyrics
TAKE ME AWAY
Find me in my night, I’ve been waiting for so much time
Locked inside these walls I’ve been waiting, I’ve weaved my dream
to fly
So now... Take me to the other side of the world, into the light
I long for the never-ending warmth that with you I find
Touch my frozen heart, there’s a world there but now it’s closed
Show my soul a way out of this sad cage where I am trapped
And then take my hand and lead me far away, where we should go
Whisper to me words of innocence and beauty that no-one knows
I'm already there, dreaming I am there, I'm already there
Guide me all the way, I will follow your sweet steps
Tell me of the land we will find beyond this night of pain
So... I will be the voice of all our songs, on the way
I will draw the road to all our visions, our dawn of day
I'm already there, dreaming I am there, I'm already there
A whole life in waiting – this time I am leaving
Be my wings and help me to fight with my prison
I'm already there, dreaming I am there, I'm already there
Take me with you out of the heart of the night
to some place of light
Take me with you where I can breathe
where I can believe
Take me to the end of the night
to the city of the light
Take me with you, take me away
