Day 19: A Song From My Favorite Album
Rule the Word by Kamelot from Ghost Opera (2007) The opening of this song gets me into the head banging mode each time, the soulful wail of the violin has my heart lurching out of my chest as I wait for the low tone of Roy Khan (aah the voice gives me the shivers, all the good type ;) ) and the pulsating rhythms and Khan's building vocals! Thomas Youngblood is one heck of a song writer, and since Khan joined him, they've made brilliant songs and albums. I must admit that while I love most of their songs, the album with the most number of my favorites is Ghost Opera. LOVE IT! P.S. What is it with Scandinavian countries and amazing music that the rest of the world never understands? Sad update - I just found out that Roy Khan HAS LEFT KAMELOT!! :( :( OMG!! - band announcement was made in April, 2011. When a new day reaches dawn, I feel it's worth the wait But I tumble and I fall, when up against my fate When the barricades come down, I build it up ...
