LOVEBITES - The Castaway lyrics & credits:
In the darkness, suddenly awakening
Sky is fallin’, and lightning dividing the night
Waves are crashing loud and high
Winds are endlessly blowing against me
What a nightmare, am I at the end of the world
I keep on going through stormy grey
Rising from shattered tide
I will not fall
Chasing through endless night
I hear the call
Rain, I never die in the rain
You never can hide my Wain
Burning the path through the dark
I never let go my faith
I never stop in the waves
You never stand in my way
Fighting the storm with my heart
Drifting further where no light remains
Even if my existence is under a threat
Still I will face the storm again
Beating the evil shadows
I will stand tall
Night cannot keep me chained
I hear the call
Rain, I never die in the rain
You never can hide my Wain
Burning the path through the dark
I never let go my faith
I never stop in the waves
You never stand in my way
Fighting the storm with my heart
Castaway
I sail the journey
Till the skyline fades away
I won’t sway
Until I see my Polaris
Oh, I am the castaway
SOLO: midori / miyako / both
Rain, I never die in the rain
You never can hide my Wain
Burning the path through the dark
I never let go my faith
I never stop in the waves
You never stand in my way
Fighting the storm with my heart
Castaway
I sail the journey
Till the skyline fades away
I won’t sway
Until I see my Polaris
Oh, I am the castaway
I've already listened to 90% of Lovebites' songs, and they have to be the best metal band of the last 30 years, and they should already be on the level of Maiden, Metallica, Judas Priest, Megadeth, they are amazing, keep reacting to more songs live.
Great to see you back with Lovebites. This new album features some ground-breaking new directions from these amazing ladies. Playing Budokan this month, signing with Napalm, Booked for Wacken this year. The Future looks BRIGHT!
If you're interested in Midori and Miyako’s guitars or their gear setup, they uploaded a video introducing their latest equipment in connection with a special LOVEBITES feature in the Japanese music magazine Young Guitar. I highly recommend checking it out.
I can’t quite get my ears trained to this song yet. So far I think it is the weakest on the album. The production isn’t to my taste, can barely make out the guitars before the first solo. I prefer more edge, more attack. The drums cut through though, which I’m not complaining about! Solos are fantastic. It will probably be amazing live, the mix and sound are always better live for me.
This is the first track on their superb new album and it is one of only 3 songs that has an intro - the rest just explode out of the gates and don't let up until the end. Haruna on drums is a force behind them all...mind you. so are the guitars...the bqass...Asami's vocals. They seem to have kept Asami's vocals lower in the mix than usual and she doesn't sound so 'operatic', more of a classic 70's/80's Metal vocal.
The Metal Queens hit the high seas. Nice review. Yngwie Malmsteen is certainly a inspiration to Miyako, in fact tbe last song on tbe album, One Will Remain is very Yngwie Malmsteen inspired, especially the guitar intro.
