"Oh my Lady Fantasy.... I.... love you"

Τον Μάρτη του '74 (συγκεκριμένα 1 Μαρτίου) κυκλοφόρησε ένας σπουδαίος δίσκος για την progressive rock μουσική...

Οι Andrew Latimer (κιθάρα, φλάουτο και φωνή), Peter Bardens (πλήκτρα και φωνή), Doug Ferguson (μπάσο) και Andy Ward (τύμπανα) έγραψαν 5 τραγούδια όλα κι όλα, αλλά αυτά ήταν που άφησε το mirage ως ένα απο τα καλύτερα -αν όχι το καλύτερο- άλμπουμ των Camel.

Όλοι βέβαια πρόσεξαν το εξώφυλλο που θυμίζει το πακέτο των ομώνυμων τσιγάρων...(έπαιξαν κι αυτά τον ρόλο τους για την επιτυχία του δίσκου)

Το tracklist είναι το εξής

1. "Freefall" 5:53
2. "Supertwister" 3:22
3. "Nimrodel/The Procession/The White Rider" 9:17
4. "Earthrise" 6:40
5. "Lady Fantasy" 12:45

Το αγαπημένο μου μακράν είναι το Lady Fantasy, (το παίζαμε κιόλας με μια μπάντα) αλλά πιστέψτε με, όλος ο δίσκος είναι πραγματικά υπέροχος...

Επειδή η αρχή μου είναι να μην κουράζω, παραθέτω βίντεο και στίχους...

Όποιος δεν γνωρίζει κάτι για τον συγκεκριμένο δίσκο, αν δεν έχει κάτι καλύτερο να κάνει, ας του δώσει μια ευκαιρία να τον ακούσει...



I'm in a freefall, like a snowflake falling,
Down, down, down, down, down.
I close my eyes inside my head I starfall
Helpless to the ground.
Down, down, down, down, down, oh yeah.


Smoke rings around me and bright sparks of fire
Flash by as I go.
I've got the feeling and it takes me higher
Than I'll ever know.
Go, go, go, go, go. Oooh.





When he rides, my fears subside,
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies,
To find a land beyond night.
Once he wore grey, he fell and slipped away
From everybody's sight.
The wizard of them all, came back from his fall
This time wearing white.
He has a certain air, as if he's never there,
But somehow far away.
And though he seems afar, like a distant star.
His warmth he can convey.

Listen very carefully, my words are about to unfold
Concerning a lady I've seen but I never could hold
I can see by your smile,
Take a long while,
The words that come through,
I see that they're true,
For she reminds me of you.
Don't misunderstand me, it's not always easy to say
The words in your head and your heart that you just can't explain
I can see clearly,
A face in the sky,
Moon's in your eye,
You're passing me by.
Tell me the reason why.
I can see clearly,
A face in the sky,
Moon's in your eye,
You're passing me by.
Saw you riding on a moon cloud,
Saw you walking on a whirlpool,
From the corner of my eye,
I saw you.
Saw you sitting on a sunbeam,
In the middle of my daydream,
Oh my Lady Fantasy,
I love you.
