islands

• the letters parcasini da barindiran king crimson albumu.
• king crimson ve peter sinfield'in son kez birlikte gorundugu album. kapak fotograflarinda yay takimyildizi ve baska yildizlar, bulutsular gorulur. (bkz: gokada) "bas gitar kimdeyse, sarkici odur" cemaatinin^** ikinci temsilcisi olarak boz burrell devreye girmistir; davulcu ian wallace'dan bugun hala hayranlikla soz edilir, albumun gizli yildizidir; keith tippett, mel collins, mark charig, robin miller gibi, turlu "progressive rock" grubuna eslik etmis usta muzisyenler yerini almistir. en mustehcen king crimson sarkisi, "ladies of the road", bu albumdedir, "psychedelic" a yuzunun guludur. b yuzunde ise, "kucuk bir oda muzigi" bicimindeki "prelude song of the gulls". pesinden "islands" gelir ve albumu bitirirken, dinleyiciyi basladigi yerden cok cok uzaktaki bir kiyiya birakir. martilar mahzun olur. dalgalar.

• 1971 çıkışlı bir albümdür. öyle böyle değildir. dinleyeni uçurur, bambaşka alemlere götürür, dağıtır.
• islands
  from the first time we saw
  we could wait for this moment
  like rocks on the shore
  we could never be closer somehow
  for the moment that lasts
  is this moment now
  
  when the night's on fire
  oh, will you keep the candle-light burning
  hold onto your heart's desire
  (hearts on fire)
  when you see one bird into the wind
  another one's turning
  and the two can fly much higher
  (higher)
  
  chorus:
  we are islands
  but never too far
  we are islands
  and i need your light tonight
  and i need your light tonight...(x2)
  
  islands
  never been to before
  and we climb so high
  to where the wild birds soar
  there's a new path
  that we found just today
  i was lost in the forest
  and you showed me the way
  
  when the night's on fire
  oh, will you keep the candle-light burning
  hold onto your heart's desire
  (hearts on fire)
  when you see one bird into the wind
  another one's turning
  and the two can fly much higher
  (higher)
  
  chorus x 4
• earth, stream and tree encircled by sea
  waves sweep the sand from my island
  
  sozlerinin manasi anlasilmasa bile insani hos ediyor. guzel soz yazmak boyle birsey herhalde.
• amerika da uretilen bir sigara markasi.
• the xx'in kendi isimlerini taşıyan albümlerinde yer alan leziz şarkı.
  sözleri de şöyledir .
  
  i don't have to leave anymore
  what i have is right here
  spend my nights and days before
  searching the world for what's right here
  
  underneath and unexplored
  islands and cities i have looked
  here i saw
  something i couldn't over look
  
  i am yours now
  so now i don't ever have to leave
  i've been found out
  so now i'll never explore
  
  see what i've done
  that bridge is on fire
  going back to where i've been
  i'm froze by desire
  no need to leave
  
  where would i be
  if this were to go under
  it's a risk i'd take
  i'm froze by desire
  as if a choice i'd make
  
  i am yours now
  so now i don't ever have to leave
  i've been found out
  so now i'll never explore
  
  so now i'll never explore
• kısacık bir cat power şarkısı
  
  i want to rule the islands
  and i want to rule the sea
  but if you're not coming back
  i will sleep eternally
  
  i don't want no heavy diamonds
  and pearls crush my teeth
  i just want my sailor
  to sail back to me
  
  the captain has a treasure
  says i hold the key
  but old mangroves
  and sweet winds blow
  songs of you and me
  
  i want to rule the islands
  and i want to rule the sea
  but if you're not coming back
  i will sleep eternally
• aynı zamanda kanadalı (montreal) bir indie pop/rock grubu. kalabalıkça bir grup; 6 kişiden oluşuyor ve başlarını da eski the unicorns solisti nick thorburn çekiyor- arcade fire ve wolf parade elemanları da cabası. stüdyo albümleri şöyle sıralanabilir:
  
  2006 - return to the sea
  2008 - arm’s way
  2009 - vapours
  
  creeper, no you don't gibi süper şarkılara sahipler. her albümde daha iyiye gittiklerini de söylemek mümkün. merak edenler için;
  
  islands, myspace
