Re: Forever (Spring 2023)
Apparently Eternal Bond is not a brand new piece. I'm curious about the lyrics

Re: Forever (Spring 2023)
Strange, I thought Eternal Bonds has been composed for the album, at least that's what I understood from the Libera Records posting ("Japanese composer Takatsugu Muramatsu [...] created a new song for the album, "Eternal Bonds" was written down"). Maybe the translation is a bit misleading here. Thanks for posting this, Lux AeternaLux Aeterna wrote: Apparently Eternal Bond is not a brand new piece. I'm curious about the lyrics

Re: Forever (Spring 2023)
I'm guessing that it's a new arrangement of an existing composition. Whatever the case, it sounds like it would be a nice change of pace from previous pieces sung by Libera.theriverflowson wrote: ↑<span title="Mon Feb 13, 2023 5:25 am">1 year ago</span>Strange, I thought Eternal Bonds has been composed for the album, at least that's what I understood from the Libera Records posting ("Japanese composer Takatsugu Muramatsu [...] created a new song for the album, "Eternal Bonds" was written down").

Re: Forever (Spring 2023)
Good, I was worried the Muramatsu songs for Libera would all sound a bit alike. This one seems different, I will be glad to hear something new
I find the setlist quite interesting. The "Anima Christi" sounds like it would fit Libera.
Do you think "Far Away Light" will be a new arrangement of the already known "Far Away" ?

Re: Forever (Spring 2023)
Yes, for me, the added "2023" indicates something like that. Regarding the word "light" in the translated title: The Japanese signs on the 2008 "Prayer" JP album are identical to the signs which are used for the new album anouncement and on "Prayer" it is just called "Far Away" in the English title section, so I would guess that "light" is not intended to be part of the title. Any native speakers around?
Luckily, the album announcement still leaves some room for speculation here and there

Re: Forever (Spring 2023)
I also noticed that,so it's probably a new version of Far Away. I was wondering if " blessings to all " is actually " Beati "theriverflowson wrote: ↑<span title="Mon Feb 13, 2023 4:34 pm">1 year ago</span>Yes, for me, the added "2023" indicates something like that.

Yes it must be Beati as at first I thought it hadn’t made the album but now I think it’s just an awful translation like far away light which I assumed at first was a new song.

I'm hoping that the music video of "Ave Verum Corpus" will be released during Lent (preferably in the next couple weeks), because the text is clearly dealing with Jesus's passion and death. I wonder if it will be featured on a tv program, or if it will simply be released on its own.

Re: Forever (Spring 2023)
That would be great. Perhaps I shouldn't give up Libera for Lent, just in case. I'll probably go to hell for choosing a lesser sacrifice, but this might be worth it.bachmahlerfan wrote: ↑<span title="Thu Feb 23, 2023 7:21 pm">1 year ago</span> I'm hoping that the music video of "Ave Verum Corpus" will be released during Lent (preferably in the next couple weeks), because the text is clearly dealing with Jesus's passion and death.

They will probably release it as a YouTube premiere like they do with most of them.

I am the hours and moments of your yesterday
I am your time gone by
Oer days and ages fleeting, long since passed away

Re: Forever (Spring 2023)
Surprised the release date is so that late, maybe the Japanese release will be earlier (as it usually is) to coincide with their music festival appearance in Japan?

Re: Forever (Spring 2023)
In Japan it seems to be released on May 17th (see https://liberafc.jp/s/n75/news/detail/10107). The greatest pleasure lies in the anticipation, as we say in GermanySurpinto wrote: ↑<span title="Mon Apr 03, 2023 8:26 pm">1 year ago</span> Surprised the release date is so that late, maybe the Japanese release will be earlier (as it usually is) to coincide with their music festival appearance in Japan?

Re: Forever (Spring 2023)
The latest newsletter from Libera Records states a few elements, mostly known, but there is a new info about digital version of the Forever album.
- The Japanese version will be released on May 17 (we already knew it)
- The new song written by Takatsugu Muramatsu is included in the Japanese edition only
- The overseas version will be released in June (the 23 June has it was posted above)
- the digital release will be distributed at the same time as the overseas version release (June 23 June).
Meaning that from May 17th to June 23rd the new album Forever can only be listened from the physical version of the Japanese CD.
