Alternature - The fields of Alia
Country - Estonia Player- Jarmo
Tales of the fair fields of Alia Brought her to search in the wild As she walked too far in the evening In the woods she was lost like a child As she walked too far in the evening In the woods she was lost like a child Veil of the haze hiding Alia Led the girl by her hand So the fields came alive in the evening She was charmed by the voices that sang So the fields came alive in the evening She was charmed by the voices that sang Follow me Come to me We can love Broken heart |
Ghosts on the fields of Alia Smiled with their eyes of fairy blue Entwined her in their long hair with tender Singing, “all of your heartache is through” Entwined her in their long hair with tender Singing, “all of your heartache is through” Follow me Come to me We can love Broken heart Safe with her saviour in the morning Loving words mend her scars He said, “Never return to Alia To the fields of broken hearts Never return to Alia To the fields of broken hearts” |
Preselection details: | Here are the songs that
participated in the first Estonian preselection for the Online Song Contest 1. |
Player's comments: | This Estonian group may seem unknown to most
people, but maybe the song "Diamond of night" rings a bell. It was the Estonian
entry in the 1999 Eurovision song contest.Even the title track appeared in the Estonian
contest in 2000, but came in 2nd. The singers name is Evelyn Samuel, but she's marketed
under the name "Alternature" now. The titel track has even been remix for
international use and the song "Let me stay" has become "Northern
gold".Not an improvement, but these songs are so strong, that they survive. The genre
can be called a cross between Enya and One More Time.The melodies are certainly not
without celtic influences,as the songs "For I belong to you" and "Jesters
silver coin" reakes of Irish folkmusic. It's hard to tell that Alternature is from Estonia, as they have made a truly international and very beautiful record. |
