pale traces

insana bir yandan huzur verebilirken bir yandan da ağlatabilen muhteşem the gathering şarkısıdır. sözleri:

When did you loose your smile?
Were you walking all alone at night
searching endlessly for a way
to join the pieces of what you used to be?
Let me hold you for a moment

When, when did you loose your smile
Was it all too much to take at once
that suddenly you felt you had nothing left?

The coldest winter
can't freeze your heart
one day you'll see that even
the longest winter passes by
that through the years I'd still give it all
to hold you for a moment

When did your dream fade out?
Did it seem it wasn't worth it at all?
Then I'll try another million ways
to make you understand

The coldest winter can't freeze your heart
one day you'll see
that I'd give it all to hold you,
that even when all hope is gone
I'd still give it all
to hold you for a moment

One day you'll see
those heavy clouds will soon make way
for brighter days

One day you'll see
I've been here for you all along
and I will never let go of your hand

One day you'll see

Bu şarkının ne derece ölümcül olacağını sözlerini okuyarak bile anlayabilirsiniz.

Anneke'nin inanılmaz huzur veren sesine rağmen sorduğu sorular sayesinde huzursuzluğa sürüklenecek, her cümlesinde göğüs kafesine bir fil oturmuşçasına rahatsız hissedeceksiniz.

Huzursuz hissetmenize rağmen dinleyecek, dinledikçe kötü hissedecek ama müziği kapatmayacaksınız.
Bir çeşit mazoşizm.
Dinlemelisiniz.
