Yes Joshs voice is a lot deeper so maybe there will be a surprise and on a few songs use somebody like Liam and Josh as its a good counter balance to the trebles.

Of course i know they wont do this on all songs as it is a treble group but this does give the group a new depth.

Its theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee album cover! How cute!

I love this.

Libera and RP are really doing a great job with the whole 'classical crossover' appearance of the group! Is 'classical crossover' a genre?

Right, a poster (Bip49) on the French forum posted his/her attempts at the lyrics of this song. I've changed a fair bit and this is our combined effort, but the last verse is causing me some problems.....

I am the hours and moments of your yesterday
I am your time gone by.
All days and ages fleeting, long since passed away
As endless years roll by.

I rise in the spark of life
The dawn of all time.
I call to the paths still yet to be
The music is everywhere
In life in the sea and air, to join in the powerful song of all eternity.

I am the hours, the days and moments yet to come
Until the end of time.
All the centuries and seasons that are still to run
As endless years roll by.

I rise in the spark of life
The dawn of all time.
I call to the paths still yet to come
The music is everywhere
In life in the sea and air, to join in the powerful song of all eternity.

And all of the ancient right???
And all in the heavens sight???
The glorious song through all eternity

I am the dawn of all time

Can anybody finish this off? It looks like Ben sings right but I'm not 100% sure.

#edit# Yahoo group suggests the last verse to be

The note of creation rings
And dawn in the heavens sings.
The glow of the highest song
Through all eternity.

Personally I'm very pleased with this song. It's been said elsewhere that most of the songs on this new album will be new. If they're of the caliber of this song and O Santissima then we're in for a real treat.
Am I correct in saying that in terms of style this song seems a bit different than most of Libera's previous songs? There's no latin, it's not related to a pre-existing hymn, poem or tune ( that I know of ). In the past few years some of Libera's best new works, such as Far Away and You Were There, were collaborations with other authors. I wonder if RP has a collaborator on this one. I'm not saying that he couldn't have written it, I just think the style is little different than his usual.
OTOH he's about my age, so maybe he's been thinking about time a lot recently.

The Japanese tracklist says that Ian Tilley and Fiona Pears composed this piece.

Ben's voice has always had a magical tone to it, but it seems he's just now starting to put some real power behind it. So many of his songs have been ... soft, ethereal. It's great to hear him let it out, get the feeling he could fill a concert hall with his voice alone. I hope it's not just studio processing, would be amazing to hear this one in concert.

As for the video, I liked it. Seemed to match the song title, maybe it's just me but seeing all the boys, especially the new ones always brings home the passage of time for me.

The album's cover, wow, it really does signify the "change" Libera's going through. Libera management should really address the problem of "graduations". Seeing the album cover getting swamped with comments like"Where's TOM!?" "Where's JOSH!?" makes me want to facepalm. But come to think of it, maybe it's a way to filter who the real fans are in the midst of the new ones Libera is garnering.

It seems that Time is Josh's "swan song" akin to Michael Horncastle's Far Away and Tom Cully's You were there. I HOPE THIS ALBUM GETS HERE IN THE PHILLIPINES. ARGH. EXCITED.

It's understandable but where's Flynn ?

I'm really loving this new track as much as all of you! It's phenomenal, the lyrics, the whole feel of the song, the video, everything! Josh and Ben's voice just complements so well, and video effects, settings are just amazing too. Definitely can't wait to hear more of the album! March 8 is not too far.. yet not to near!

Very nice video! I can't believe Josh's voice is that low already!

Is Tom still with Libera?

Yorkie · Post by **Yorkie** » 15 years ago

Ok now the original rush of excitement is over I've had chance to listen to the song today, a bit more objectively, and I think we need to get real. Is it really that good?

Only kidding, it's still fantastic

I did give credit to RP yesterday for this new style and I understand that credit should actually go to Ian and Fiona (or Phwoooarrr as I like to think of her in that black dress).

I think it's interesting that they have still retained that religious aspect to the song - still promoting Christianity but in a subtle way.

Really, really am starting to become impatient for that new album, but as the saying goes, all things come to he who waits.

Ths has shot to my favorite song at moment, so it totally blows me away , i have grave concerns tho how good it will be in a concert because i think Ben and Josh may of had slight enhacment on there voices in this so i do wonder how powerful Bens voice would be in concert with this song.
