Como falar de um dueto histórico sem escrever uma Bíblia dos Mil Elogios? Não é fácil, mas vamos lá tentar, pois começar a semana com "Paradise (What About Us?)" é outra forma de começar a semana. Uma forma muito melhor, diga-se de passagem.

Se você anda ligado(a) na página da Tarja no Facebook, sabe que ela anda soltando várias novidades sobre o novo álbum, "The Shadow Self", o mesmo que eu fiz um post de expectativas do momento nesse link. Sessão de fotos, gravação do clipe de "No Bitter End", mas enquanto não vem um single, um clipe que possa matar a curiosidade, nosso Monday Metal recorda a colaboração da cantora com o Within Temptation, afinal, a banda inteira colaborou no novo álbum da finlandesa. Muito que bem.

"Paradise" é uma música incrível em todos os sentidos, mesmo pecando no espaço dedicado à voz da Tarja em certos trechos, onde a voz da Sharon acaba sendo a única audível, quando claramente o vídeo mostra as duas cantando ao mesmo tempo, mas enfim. Ainda assim a música prova que no fim o ponto alto do Hydra foram os duetos, um chamariz positivo para os fãs, já que eles trouxeram artistas bem interessantes.

Isso sem falar do vídeo, que é ótimo e todas as minhas reações eu cobri nesse post direto de 2013.

Mas então... Vamos lá?


Letra:

There's no sense, the fire burns
When wisdom fails, it changes all
The wheel embodies all that keeps on turning

Blood red skies, I feel so cold
No innocence, we play our role
The wheel embodies all, where are we going?

All in all you'd expect the wise to be wiser
Fallen from grace
All and all I guess
We should have known better 'cause

What about us
Isn't it enough
No we're not in paradise

This is who we are
This is what we've got
No, it's not our paradise

But it's all we want
And it's all that we're fighting for
Though it's not paradise

You and us, or I and them
There come's a time to take a stand
The wheel is watching all it keeps on burning

The venom works, it's like a curse
A trojan horse, when will we learn
The wheel embodies that keeps returning

All in all you'd expect the wise to be wiser
Fallen from grace
All and all I guess
We should have known better 'cause

What about us
Isn't it enough
No we're not in paradise

This is who we are
This is what we've got
No, it's not our paradise

But it's all we want
And it's all that we're fighting for
But it's not paradise

What about us
Isn't it enough
No we're not in paradise

This is who we are
This is what we've got
No, it's not our paradise

But it's all we want
And it's all that we're fighting for

What about us
Isn't it enough
No we're not in paradise

This is who we are
This is what we've got
No, it's not our paradise

But it's all we want
And it's all that we're fighting for
But it's not paradise

What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
Isn't it enough?

What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
Isn't it enough?

What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
Isn't it enough?

What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
Isn't it enough?
