Moonlight Shadow (Mike Oldfield cover)
================

Metalicized by Y`golonac (http://koti.mbnet.fi/ygolonac, the_iikka@hotmail.com)
during 3 jet-black winter nights of early 2002.

 - PLAY WITH A DX8-SUPPORTING VERSION OF MPP/MPT! - Also works with Winamp
and XMPlay, but sounds really, and I mean really, bad. Too old MPP/MPT versions
can't play the song at all, so if it's too old, go fetch a new one from
www.modplug.com.

Yep, sure wasn't the simplest song to cover... to metalicize it I wrote all new
riffs based loosely on the original song's chords, and the solo, well, it was
totally indecipherable for me, so I replaced it with a much simpler one. There
go the accuracy points... but hey, it would be boring if all covers were 100%
identical to the original, right? Right? Oh well. ;)
Vocals made my throat hurt. These are my second vocs ever, and hopefully
the quality has been improved since BlackGyver. Feedback is appreciated. :)

Note: this would've been mo3, but sadly the DX8 plugins support was added to
MPT/MPP just before releasing... and well, when choosing from muddy 700kb song
and a (more or less) crystalclear 2700kb song, well, I chose the latter.

Sample credits:
Guitars by Betrayer & Daoloth and drums & goatbass by Cadaver. Thanks!

Hails to #metalscene, MSC and 'lurky. Don't die, Friz!

Lyrics:
=======

The last that ever she saw him
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
He passed on worried and warning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow

Lost in a riddle last saturday night
Far away on the other side
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through

The trees that whisper in the evening
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving
Carried away by a moonlight shadow

All she saw was a silhouette of a gun
Far away on the other side
He was shot six times by a man on the run
And she couldn't find how to push through

I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away

I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven one day

Four AM in the morning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming
Carried away by a moonlight shadow

Stars move slowly in the silvery night
Far away on the other side
"Will you come to talk to me this night?"
But she couldn't find how to push through

I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away

I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven one day

Far away on the other side

Caught in the middle of a hundred and five
The night was heavy but the air was alive
But she couldn't find how to push through

Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Far away on the other side










...and it's only 2 seconds longer than the original! :)
