Favorite Vocal lines from AVFTTOTW
« on: December 30, 2021, 12:22:22 PM »
The more I listen to this album the more impressed I am with the vocals and specifically certain vocal melody lines.   There is some great stuff throughout this album.   What are your favorite vocal moments?    Here are mine:
 
The Alien -  Starting at 7:48   "I am the alien,  out here in the stars "
Answering the Call -  Starting at 1:41 " When will the long held truths be cast aside,  embrace our fellow man, no longer villified"
                               Starting at 4:16  " The writings on the wall "
Invisible Monster -  Starting at 2:44 " Perched on its victim's shoulder"   however I hear it as " Virtualistic time soldier " !!!!'
Sleeping giant - Starting at 8:41 " Hidden lies the rage inside,  like a sleeping giant , one we dare not wake"
                        Starting at 9:18 " Our desires and ambitions, and our need to believe there is good in this world"
Transcending Time - Starting at 1:33 " Illusions turn to dust , scattered to the wind, like dreaming while awake" 
                              Starting at 4:35 " Euphoric Obsession"
Awaken the master - Starting at 3:07 " A flower unfolds, a heartbeat brings new meaning to the universe"
                               starting at 4:40  " Just to find out, you're only half way there"
                               Starting at 9:04  " Awaken the Master"
AVFTTOTW -  Starting at 3:45  " Brave enough to fail"
                    Starting at 5:39 " All my natural instincts, are begging me to stop, but somehow I carry on, heading for the top"
                    Starting at 11:29 " returning to the womb"
                    Starting at 12:54 " the beauty and the danger"
                    Starting at 17:30 " You're never more alive"
                    Starting at 17:45 " Welcome to the mind UNLEASHED "

There's a lot of them for me. As you said the vocals melodies wasn't that clear initially but have grown a lot over time. I honestly like them more that D/T now which I really didn't think. These are some of the standouts for me:

Answering The Call - 1:41
"When will the long-held truth be cast aside?
Embrace our fellow man, no longer vilified"

Answering The Call - 2:30
"Weeping mother, too late to cry
Hold the truth, can't ignore the lie"

Invisible Monster - 1:09
"Run toward the fire or fleeing from the flame"

Sleeping Giant - 4:08
"People will obsess With suffering and death
Questioning their own desires"

Transcending Time - 2:24
"Midnight in the garden
Digging for a spark"

Awaken The Master - 3:07
"A flower unfolds a heartbeat brings new meaning to the universe"

Awaken The Master - 9:04
"Awaken The Master"

AVFTTOTW - 5:39
"All my natural instincts are begging me to stop
but somehow I carry on, heading for the top"

AVFTTOTW - 6:28
"Rightfully joining
The ranks of the elite"

AVFTTOTW - 11:10
"I begin the blind descent
To a place no one has seen
Returning to the womb"

"All my natural instincts are begging me to stop
but somehow I carry on, heading for the top"

is mine as well, because this describes my life in a way.
"All my natural instincts are begging me to stop
But somehow I carry on, heading for the top
A physical absurdity, a tremendous mental game
Helping me understand exactly who I am"

Some great ones listed, and lots of great ones on the album in general.  Two that immediately leap to mind:

-Answering the Call:  "Will you wager your life?"

-AVFTTOTW:  "Brave enough to fail."

You bet the nail on the head with all of these!
Can't we find the minds
to lead us closer to the heart?

LOVE that line in ATC as well and the way James delivers it!

Also, from AVFTTOTW - "Hanging on the brink of death, You're never more alive".

"Alien...changed forever, new found world in the stars"

"You made it to the top...only to find out you're only half way there...all along missing the point of the journey"

Probably most of TT but a few great ones include the chorus line starting with 'signals in the mist' and the all of the second verse.

Just a few from a lyrically great album.
