Thin air

Anathema:"Thin air", (fra albummet "We´re here because we´re here", 2010):

Love
In free
In time
In peace
And now
Is here
This life
This dream

You know how it feels but
Is it all in your mind?
When you know how it feels to be
Pushed and pulled through your life
And sometimes I feel like
There is light in your eyes
And all that I know is that I love you
Yes I love you

And it feels like we´re already flying
But the air is too thin and we´re dying
The clouds all around take us higher
The world far below is on fire
I hold out my hand just to touch you
And all that I know is I love you
A vision, a promise of heaven
A reason for being forever

You´re just a whisper away

We´ve come too far to turn back
This is where we stand
And face it
This is who we are
One step closer
Into thin air
We will go there
We´ve come too far to turn back
This is where we stand and face it
I feel you breathe
And you´re just a whisper away

We´ve come too far
This is where we stand

(Selvom der har været visse tegn på, at der nok skulle komme en opfølger til "A natural disaster" fra 2003, var jeg efterhånden begyndt at tvivle meget på, at det rent faktisk ville ske....Men nu er det her omsider: engelske Anathema´s ottende fuldlængde-studie-album "We´re here bacause we´re here", og albummet har været ventetiden værd :-)  10 på flere måder himmelske sange afløser let og elegant hinanden, og er man af den ene eller anden grund kørt fast i livet, er der god inspiration at hente til at komme videre. Jeg opfatter ikke helt "We´re here...." som værende Anathema´s bedste album til dato, for dertil er klassikere som "The silent enigma" (1995), "Alternative 4" (1998) og "Judgement" (1999) alt for stærke konkurrenter, men "We´re here...." er afgjort et album, som Anathema kan være stolte af).
