the gathering'in en "olgun" parcasidir benim nazarimda. sozlerindeki yalinligi ve arkada e$lik eden dolu dolu muzigiyle tam bir $aheser niteligindedir. "black light district" albumundeki solo piyano versiyonunda, anneke van giersbergen bunu daha ust bir perdeden soyler, parcanin sozlerini "her an kayip gideceklermi$" gibi hissettirir ki bu da parcanin huznune huzun katar.

hem hüzünlü hem huzur dolu şarkılardan. ders çalışırken dinle, ağlamak için dinle, dinlenmek için dinle, dinlemek için dinle, keyiflenmek için dinle, anılar depreşsin diye dinle...

the gathering'in tahrip gücü yüksek, bomba tesirli parçası.

piano eşliğinde ise daha naif, kır çiçekleri arasında uzanıp yaklaşan nihai sona gülümsemek gibi

souvenirs albümünün lezzetli parçalarından biri. sözleri de böyle işte:

"strange vibe
circles round
tries to comfort
buzzing sounds

form an arrow
point at us
we the target
are the one

place your bet
on the best
the fastest horse
you can find

drop yourself
in the grass
breathe the air
at last
hold on tight
don't fall down

breathe the air
trough the water

form an arrow
point at us
we the target
are the center

find the key
lock the door
close your eyes
for encore

drop yourself
in the grass
breathe the air
at last
hold on tight
don't you fall down
breathe the air
trough the water

find your peace
turn inside
you the target
you the center

find the key
lock the door
close your eyes
for encore

drop yourself
in the grass
breathe the air
at last
hold on tight
don't you fall down
breathe the air
trough the water"

mısra kıvrımlarında inceden zen sezilebilen parça

(narkissos - 6 Ağustos 2003 11:34)

yngwie malmsteen'in fire and ice albümünün japon basımında yer alan bonus şarkı. vokalde göran edman var. çok güzel bir melodi üzerinde yapılandırılmış hard rock parçasıdır. malmsteen için fazla ticari ancak yine de çok iyi.
sözleri de şöyle:

i paid the piper with my song
for all the times i've done you wrong
i watched the devil get his due
and i knew that was for you

it breaks my heart
our time has passed by telling lies
i fall apart
like broken glass on shattered ice

we gave up our love within
to keep ourselves from giving in
i know my world will always turn
when you burn, you'll live and learn

like an intruder in your arms
i never meant to do you harm
i know my song, it will remain
all the same, i feel the pain

sia'nın this is acting albümünün 11 numaralı şarkısı, link ve sözleri de ekliyim tam olsun:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dhscyekc9e

lay down your arms
i don't wanna fight anymore
rough seas will be calm
hold on while we weather the storm

we fall down like dogs playing dead
but our love's not worth playing chicken with

i'm not discarding you like broken glass
there are no winners when the die is cast
there's only tears when it's the final chance
so don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
so don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance

this too shall pass
we're right where we're meant to be
there's things i don't ask
what i don't know can't hurt me

we fall down like dogs playing dead
but our love's not worth playing chicken with

i'm not discarding you like broken glass
there are no winners when the die is cast
there's only tears when it's the final chance
so don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
so don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
so don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
so don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
i'm not discarding you like broken glass
there are no winners when the die is cast
there's only tears when it's the final chance
so don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
i'm not discarding you like broken glass
there are no winners when the die is cast
there's only tears when it's the final change
so don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance

i'm not discarding you like broken glass
i'm not discarding you like broken glass
i'm not discarding you like broken glass
so don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance

canlı performansı ayrı can yakan the gathering şarkısı.

senin o gülümseyişlerine kurban olam güzel kadın.

(dont judge me mom - 2 Ağustos 2017 14:26)

piyanolu versiyonuna gore orijinali daha guzel olan the gathering parcasidir.
sonuna dogru anneke'nin 'through the water..' cigliklari sahanedir, eskimez bu parca.

(drink je verdriet weg - 30 Mayıs 2018 16:07)

çıplak ses ve çıplak pianoyla çalınmış olan versiyonu hüzünlü olan the gathering şarkısı
