"Leave No Trace"... once upon a time *gg*

[Eos]

A few months ago in the Anathema-mailinglist there was almost a fight about the "real" lyrics for "Leave No Trace". It was pretty stupid because it was about just one word
Well since here are a few people who could know what Vinnie is realy singing I though to ask it here...
Some people said it's:
"Here and now we are gone in a happy
Dream in the passage of time"
and other was sure it's:
"Here and now we are gone in a heartbeat
Dream in the passage of time"

So, which one's the "real" lyrics? *g*

"Here and now we are gone in a happy
Dream in the passage of time"
and other was sure it's:
"Here and now we are gone in a heartbeat
Dream in the passage of time"

So, which one's the "real" lyrics? *g* [/B]

I think the second one is right.
Though VIncent has the Liverpool-accent it isn't that worse I think (though I like the liverpudlian accent)
Or is it ?

Here we go again!
I think/thought it's the first one
Yeah, the liverpudlian sounds great!! I love the way they pronounce "Judgement"

Hi Eos,

i think, though i am not really sure, after listening a few times, that it is "...gone in a heartbeat". U r right we have to consider the British (liverpudlian) accent, wherefore "happy" could be possible, but I think there is no "p" sung but a "b" and in the second chorus i think you can hear a "t" at the end of the word.

That is what i have heard, but nothing for sure. Easiest would be danny would bring light into that enigma.


heers Morpheus

yeah he sings heartbeat. and i think its dreaming the passage of time. not %100 sure though.

 

[Terry Armageddon]

'Gone in a happy' sounds funny

but yeah, i like to think it makes more sense this way... (not your uncertainty of course )

 

[Don Corleone]

what could "gone in a happy" possibly mean?

 

[mourningstar]

when i thought that was the correct version, i thought we had to link "happy" and "dream".
"gone in a happy dream" is slightly more solid. still, less than "gone in a heartbeat".

 

[pagan2002]

i wish i was gone in a happy...maybe one day!

Look at the lines as one not as two different "sentences" that have nothing to do with eachother
I don' t understand English that good to get all the meanings of the Anathema lyrics.. but I'm doing my best *gg*

 

[intet]

thought GG meant Good Game.. what are you people on? explain.

 

[Morpheus]

o.k. we almost solve the riddle of that song, but:

what does Vinny sing at the end of the track, remember there are two voices.
No.1 sings One Future, One Mourning (imo)

But what does the second voice sing? I understand only some pieces, it's a bit far in the back.

That song is really an enigma, lol.

But still a good one.

So what do you guess/know?

Cheers Morpheus

 

[pagan2002]

no future no warning
living and dying slipping into nowhere

 

[Morpheus]

thanx a lot, then we can close this thread, can't we? ;-)

Cheers Morpheus

 

[Don Corleone]

and how do you close threads? oh, i better shut up, thats what you meant.

Now, that's funny. I had the same dilemma recently. To be more precise, I've always heard 'heartbeat' there, but surprisingly enough, the official site lyrics say it's 'happy'. I can't quite come to terms with it, since the first vowel sound in 'happy' is so-called 'broad e', but I can clearly hear long 'a:' there (which indeed can be found in 'heart'). I haven't bothered to look it up in the booklet yet, is it illegible?
