Spinne Group: Members Posts: 397 Joined: May 2003 Posted: Oct. 07 2003, 14:07 I'm surprised that nobody have asked before (I have been searching about that topic in this subforum but found nothing about it). Well, the thing is that the lyrics of the 12" mix of Heaven's Open (the version used on the video) has slightly lyrics and there are some parts I don't know what do Mike say (he's vocalization in this album is a little hard). Here's what I have and which parts are missing: This is that morning It's waiting for you The face of destiny Standing before you This is zero hour now is for you Can you feel that power inside of you This priceless moment In your (posession ¿?) Answers to mysteries Stand in succession This is zero hour, there's no way back Can you feel that power in its arms you're wrapped Heaven's open Sun comes in Now Heaven's Open (Just) Fly right in Heaven's open (----¿?) the sun comes in Heaven's Open (----¿?) fly right in This is that morning This is that vision Out on the world's edges It's your baptism This is zero hour and your hands are free Can you feel that power it's ecstasy Heaven's open (----¿?) the sun comes in Heaven's Open Fly right in Heaven's open (----¿?) the sun comes in Heaven's Open (----¿?) fly right in Heaven's open Sun comes in Heaven's open Let that blue sky in Heaven's open (----¿?) the sun comes in Heaven's Open (----¿?) fly right in Well, what do you think about it?   Back to top

I think they're fairly correct. P.S. - @ Spinne: Why do you put the question marks in the Spanish way? Aren't you from Northern Europe? -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Spinne Group: Members Posts: 397 Joined: May 2003 Posted: Oct. 08 2003, 17:00 Thank you Ugo. Well, I use the spanish question marks because I'm from Spain (Catalonia to be more precise)   . I feel curiosity about why did you thought I was from Northern Europe?   Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Oct. 09 2003, 08:01 Sorry, Korgscrew. I didn't mean neither to irritate you, nor to esplicitly ask Spinne to reveal his name here in the board. Of course he may mail me personally, if he wants to. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

It sounds more like a slurred "Come on we can just fly right in". It also sounds like "Show me why the sun comes in" to me (though don't ask me what that's meant to mean!). Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Oct. 11 2003, 08:46 @ EeToN: Yes, I'm sure. It's the only place in the song where Mike says 'again'. He also does on the album version. @ Korgscrew: Maybe the first three words of that are wrong, but I'm almost sure I hear 'wing'. I'll hear that again in the next days - I've got no time right now.  And after "show me", IMHO it can be 'when' or 'where', but not 'why'. Or maybe that's because I'm not, of course, a native speaker, and I really can't distinguish 'slurred' pronunciations from normal ones. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Gandalph Group: Members Posts: 81 Joined: Aug. 2002 Posted: Oct. 11 2003, 10:09 Well I would have to agree with Korgscrew, I am absolutely certain that it is "Come we can just fly right in" (no "on" this time) and NOT "Get out our wing and just fly right in". Also it sounds like "the sun comes in" rather than "Sun comes again" The bit I'm not sure about, that Ugo is interpreting as "just show me where the sun comes in" sounds like "it's only right the sun comes in" to me, but with the main part of the pronunciation starting with the s of it's. -------------- Yet Another Mike Oldfield Web Site - http://www.dbennett.karoo.net Back to top

EeToN Group: Members Posts: 845 Joined: Sep. 2001 Posted: Oct. 11 2003, 12:24 This is my version of the lyrics: Heaven's Open (12" Mix) This is that morning It's waiting for you The face of destiny Standing before you This is zero hour Now it's for you Can you feel that power Inside of you? This priceless moment In your possession Answers to mysteries Stand in succession This is zero hour And there's no way back Can you feel that power? In its arms you're wrapped Heaven's open Sun comes in Now heaven's open Just fly right in Heaven's open Show me where the sun comes in Heaven's open We can just fly right in This is that morning This is that vision Out on the world's edge It's your baptism This is zero hour And your hands are free Can you feel that power? It's ecstasy Heaven's open Show me where the sun comes in Heaven's open And we fly right in Heaven's open Show me where, show me where the sun comes in Heaven's open Come on, we can just fly right in Heaven's open The sun comes in Heaven's open Let that blue sky in Heaven's open Show me where, show me where the sun comes in Heaven's open Come on, we can just fly right in Ugo: IMHO the idea of "Get out our wing and just fly right in" is not bad, but I think that the last row of the chorus is the same at 3:21 and 4:08 (the latter is obvious). And here I don't agree with Gandalph, the "on" is there in my opinion, the row sounds like: "Cooome 'n, we can just fly right in". To the "when / where" question: There is a video clip of this mix on Mike Oldfield's Vault video collection, and it contains Spanish lyrics adaptation. I don't speak Spanish but from "dime por donde" the word "donde" means "where", as far as I know. But I couldn't find "dime" in any of the Spanish dictionaries, what does it mean? Anyway, to the meaning of lyrics "when" suits somehow better. Gandalph: I think the rows begin acutally with "sh". They might sound as "s" because of the mixing of track (high frequencies are louder; echo). By the same token You can hear the background vocals singing rather "Heavents open". (IMHO) What do You think? -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

In that case it must come from the spanish (or a southamerican) TV, but surely the ones who made this translation only have the lyrics from the record (if they have any) and the rest would translate it hearing the song, so we must understand that this translation can contain misheared words. Anyway, if you could transcribe this spanish lyrics I think it would be interesting Back to top

Yes, it's really possible. But in that case it's still an argument for "where" - but of less importance, that's true. Anyway, have these 12" mix lyrics ever been published? -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

Gandalph Group: Members Posts: 81 Joined: Aug. 2002 Posted: Nov. 01 2003, 12:07 EeToN After much listening and re-listening with several different filters to bring the lyrics more to the front I have to agree that it does sound like "Show me where the sun comes in" and "Show me where, show me where the sun comes in". I still think that it sounds like "Come we can just fly right in" without the word on in the chorus before: Heaven's open The sun comes in Heaven's open Let that blue sky in. I would agree with the other change you made, " Out on the world's edge" does not have the word edge end with an s. One thing I did notice was right at the beginning "This is that morning, It's waiting for you" sounds a bit like the word is waited rather than waiting. But I'm far from sure. -------------- Yet Another Mike Oldfield Web Site - http://www.dbennett.karoo.net Back to top

I listened to it again trying not to hear the "on" but I hardly succeeded. Don't You miss a syllable between "come" and "we"? To my ears, it's not a clear "on" because the vowel is absorbed (just audible), so it's rather " 'n' " that could be even "and". The reason why I think it's "on" is that this row should be gramatically the same as the last row and that's obviously "come on" - but perhaps also there is a plus syllable (" 'n' ") that could be "and". I'm not an Englishman but don't "come" and "come on" have slightly different meaning or emphasis (in this case)? I could imagine that You're right and even the " 'n' " isn't there, but that doesn't seem logical to me. If I should sing that line, I wouldn't pronounce "m" so long instead of singing an "on" with absorbed "o". If I had been the one who should have written the lyrics, I would have chosen the version that is singable more easily. For the "waited" theory: There isn't so much difference between "waited" and "waiting" in pronounciation so I think we should prefer the more logical version. (Anyway, when I listened to check your statement, I heard the "morning" a bit like "money".   The lyrics would be funnier in that case. ) -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism.
