ex member 178 Group: Members Posts: 251 Joined: Oct. 2010 Posted: Oct. 04 2010, 15:11 A mutual friend put me onto this thread. The reason being is that I have just written a track called 'We Are Home' as a sort of dedication to the North Star track I love. We Are Home The track isn't meant to sound like a Mike Oldfield track rather an electronic ambient piece but I'm sure there are influences in much of my music I listen to coming out. But since re-listening to North Star I thought if it wasn't 'We Are Home' it might be 'We Are Whole'. But I totally agree 'eeeee ahhhhh ooooo' could be the correct interpretation. I'm gutted, after all these years! Anyway I'm not changing the name of my track as 'Eeeee Ahhhh Ooooo' sounds silly! Might as well call it "Da Da Da" or "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da". Who would name a song that anyway I ask you! What? Someone did? Who? Trio and The Police!! You're kidding? Back to top

Insead he writes stuff like "Karu karema, karu karema, karu karema rumakara" So there must be a reason why he writes that, and why Philip Glass wrote something which could be  eeeeeeee-aaaaaaaaahhhhhh-oooooooooohhhhh, but it may just as well be "We are home". -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Ugo, I wasn't saying that there's no difference between saying "la la" or "da doo ron ron" or whatever - obviously some musicians like the sound of certain made up words more than others - I'm just saying that there's no difference, morally, in doing so. If you go back to Quietman's post, he implies that social transgression is involved in making such sounds as "da doo da da" etc, but I for one am prepared to be lenient. Back to top

That example is such a perfect illustration of the word "pretentious"!   It doesn't mean anything, but the idea is to get the listener to think that it means something. Or does "karu karema" mean something? Sounds like finish! -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Oct. 07 2010, 08:00 @ Lars & Nightspore: Jenkins said that some of the invented Adiemus language is pseudo-Zulu, but it has no meaning in any African language. Indeed "Karu karema rumakara" sounds very African to me. And another Adiemus song's lyrics are "Eh, emakamaya, eh, emakahaya; amabi-eh, amadi-eh, amabi-eh, amadi-ah". And then it goes "Ah, kimanamawenamaratis". Quite elaborate. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

I like to think that Glass heard the choir when they were "warming up" and then thought .. "wow that sounds really avant-garde . .I'll use it!" -------------- "...inside, and the positions are reversed..." Back to top
