Igor Huertas Música variada desde Grecia con muchos estilos cercanos al PROG y un gran vocalista de nombre Jargon. Recomendado por Jaime deLos.

leonidas_soad What do I love? The whole album is a fantastic experience. A journey into the emotional world as well as the mental insanity of the characters. You are transported with lyrics inspired with music melodic and to the point. More progressive than ever, since it took me back to the good times of Dream Theater's Six Degrees Under Inner Turbulence but with the touch and theatrics of Verbal Delirium that their active years have taught us. Probably their best record so far. Favorite track: The Children Of Water.

JC Verbal Delirium puise ses inspirations chez Queen, The Beatles ou encore Pain of Salvation. Favorite track: The Children Of Water.

Tony Colvill Fun, there is such a sense of fun than ryns through this from first to last note. This is Verbal Delirium, nodding respect to prog masters past and present, and yet still having the post meal Greekness of a Ouzo or Metaxxa. That one sip of Ouzo and drunk again applies here. The Beatles, Muse, Genesis, all here, Sgt Demitri Pepperdopoulis love it, definitely a perform all stage album as a set piece. Okay I miss the sax here. Superior prog rock beautifully understated. Favorite track: The Children Of Water.

un des albums des l'année 2022 !
jamais déçu par un album de Jargon, aussi bien avec son groupe qu'en solo...
encore un grand album.... Favorite track: Neon Eye Cage.

Falling 02:50
Feels like falling. Feels like falling from a great height to the bottom of your soul Eating the flowers of your womb, I’ll rise from your decay Feels like falling Feels like falling from a great height to the bowels of your soul Spreading disease and poisoning your every cell I am death

In Pieces 04:59
My lovely princess into broken pieces She was begging for some love Now she will never go… Sometimes you have to be wrong and do things you never thought about Sometimes it feels like the only way is the wrong hard way You cannot take back what is gone away Forget it all, say goodbye to yesterday Sometimes we have to do wrong My lovely princess and her dreams in thousand pieces She was asking for some love Now she can’t cry no more Sometimes you have to be strong and act like you never did before Sometimes you know that this dead end way is the only way You have no choice but to take away this pain Forget it all and embrace your mistake Sometimes you need to be wrong

Intruders 05:30
They always try to put me down they want to see me burn Just want me be a failure and lose everything I have But I won't let them smash my dream again and see me suffer. I'll rise from my ashes once again Watching my steps carefully all the stairs have been removed meticulously Biting and fighting, screaming and shouting But I don't give a damn And I won't let them smash my dream again and see me suffer. I'll rise from my ashes once again and I am true and I believe in me Follow the instinct, disobey and always do what you will Intruders come. It won't be long. Bend down and beg for mercy now! For I’ll be cruel. I define the rules! vision 1: Once I had a garden of roses in the land of plenty, joy and greed In comfort and safety I planted the seeds and I was running free in the fields No foreign body, no criticism no disapproval or humiliation I was the king, I ruled the earth I stood autonomous on my knees vision 2: In silken clouds I lay my tired head and rest my messed-up mind No gravity - no air "You're safe here" Body oscillation Peace, calm, no life Forever lost and forgotten Can't be seen nor can't be heard We are safe here in oblivion & nihilism I don't exist I AM NOTHING

The cold caress touches their little faces and Morpheus guides them to the earth of light Remembrance of the warm flame shivers in their desperate eyes they engrave on the ice of their heart their names The children of water are swimming into their bedroom's drops of rain and their liquid pillows become one with their shape Mother's frozen kiss shatters the sensitive skin and the smell of the moldy landscape spreads all around them The children of water are swimming into their bedroom's drops of rain and their liquid pillows become one with their shape From the window they observe the crowd's farewell to the winter and their crystalline tears wound their purple cheeks and the night darkens their creepy cell when the right time comes, they'll try to embrace you into their freezing arms...vainly

The Watcher 09:03
In a cold winter's night i saw your shadow Searching in the room, making a reciprocating move Breaking the silence. In a rainy fall's day I saw the tip of your hair Touching so gently your shoulder I see you through my closed shutters from miles afar I watch you every night In a hot summer's day I saw the sweat of your skin traveling through the cleft of your flesh In a sunny spring's day I noticed you saw me and then you turned away... I see you through my closed shutters from miles afar I watch you every night …and through the wires I hear your voice …and through the tunnels of this noise I must destroy your every choice I bite the corner of your ear I steal the words you say and hear and I watch every little step you take on to the dark stairs Only in your eyes I see, something important to me Watching your every move makes me powerful once again You cover the emptiness in me, giving me a reason to live and I can feel you breathe while trying to escape no matter how hard you try, I will follow you and I’ll haunt your dreams tonight and for the rest of your life

Wake up and type the password and log in to another day in life Say hello to the faces of the book, write what’s on my mind I have so many friends it feels I am not alone Don’t know who they really are but it seems we have things in common I keep posting selfies, I need recognition please tell me I’m pretty Cause I have low self esteem please leave a like and share my beauty Feel desire for this perfect photoshopped body All the charm in a page, just scroll down and see I have to find something with deep meaning, clever and unique To share with you that shows I’m an intelligent human being Of course you always have the right to disagree Just comment down below and you will get reported back from me I can see clearly who you really are by your activity on your private wall IMHO you see I am not humble at all It seems normal standing numb and still in front of my neon eye cage Without water and food I just LMAO I follow the trend, see? Yo! I was born into confusion to the land of dissolution What have I become? I don’t feel anymore All my life seems an illusion, close enough to execution I am not so strong to go back where I belong I got so many skills I don’t need school as long as wiki has it all I could teach you all I graduated from the university of tube I learned the easy way four languages in two days I got superpowers I am a genius! Lifehacks also taught me how to dream with no sleep at all I was born into confusion to the land of dissolution What have I become? I don’t feel anymore All my life seems an illusion, close enough to execution I am not so strong to go back to where I belong Now I feel horny babe your body drives me crazy We don’t really need contact anymore We can just watch some porn and make cyber love No need to tell a joke, subscribe to the page “Humor.com” Autocorrect me if I’m wrong. I don’t feel true emotions but I use the app of love I forgot how it used to be when real hands were touching my skin And the soft sense of your breath was on my lips I forgot how it used to be when I was dreaming and fighting for something Now there’s nothing to expect, nothing to become I will bleed live. Hashtag – Compassion, Sympathy Please take care of my feed. Take all the information you need, I own nothing of me Don’t you see? I gave it all, I am just a mess, a puppet without will Don’t you see? This is not what I was meant to be This is not me! Press escape, log out and get back to reality Say goodbye to your cage, just look around, what do you see? Beautiful, intense colors and real life surrounding Touch my hand, give me a real hug Do you feel?

A space between us now Dividing lines around Look what I’ve done… So how you gonna see me now That I let you down and betrayed your trust in me? All the things I buried deep are now On a threshold of reveal Your cruel words are breaking me All my secrets are given away That’s a price I have to pay It hurts me so to feel Your cold eyes Staring at me I never wanted to be here Never wanted to see this What’s gone is not forgotten But I can’t take it back If I now say that I’m sorry you know that I’d be a liar So many thoughtless mistakes You witness my fall from grace All the things we buried deep are now On a threshold of reveal These cruel words are breaking me All our secrets are given away That’s a price we have to pay It hurts so much to feel Their cold eyes Staring at me
