More unreleases Stina songs!!

Post by trainsurfer »

On YouTube.com 5 Stina songs have recently been added:

Give Me More Of Everything
The Thing About Fire
Walking Too Fast
The World Strings
Distance From My History

The last two I've never heard of; apparently TWS was made by Stina for a chinese fan. It is a lovely violin/string instrumental.
DFMH was supposed to be an extra track on TWIS Japanese edition, but the Japanese record company chose a different bonus track. This recording is taken from the master tape, and is quite in keeping with the other tracks on TWIS.

Both are beautiful and well worth a listen (if the record company gets wind of it they may be withdrawn, go get in there!).

The best bit is that the girl who uploaded them will make mp3 copies for you!!!! I think you have to join YouTube, but it's free.

Most exciting, I think you'll agree!!

Does anyone know the lyrics for these? It's just a weird quirk of mine. Somehow a song seems incomplete to me unless I've read what it's saying. (Unless it's supposed to be instrumental, of course.)

Unfortunately my laptop doesn't seem to get on too well with youtube. :cry: Stupid dial-up.

Stina made a mix specially for a fan? :shock: Are you sure it's the same Stina? :D

Yes, it's the same stina. But if it's especially made for a fan: i doubt it. The mix sounds very professional.

Good find!! I attribute these finds to noiser.
Let's clear a few things up.
Anyone who wants to 'download' these could do worse than plug a recorder-MD or similar- into the back of their comp,and play the track.They're not videos,ie no visuals.If you really want it on your comp,you just retransfer from your MD/whatever.At least that's what I shall do.It's so easy these days!

Now,to the important bit-the music.The 'World is saved' strings number is actually just part of the string track for 'Jean-Claude',arranged by Jonas Nystrom,some of which made it onto TWIS.On the JC documentary this music is called 'Ice Water' and it's been uploaded before here by noiser.Straightforward enough.

The other track 'Distance from my History' is clearly from the same sessions,with string trio in attendance.Listening to the words,there are enough hints to suggest that this is the missing '...And the winner is...' from the original tracklist for TWIS that V?ro gave out,oh ever so long ago.Aha!
That song had no place in the JC s/t either,so it's a completely new discovery,on no previous release.It's beautiful.Read the words.Listen to the string arrangement-sublime.Mr Nystrom,I say again,is Stina's key collaborator.Listen to how the strings rise to a high chord just prior to the last verse,which is so moving.
So now it only remains to discover how noiser or whoever came across this track.A mole in the Japanese record company office? :?:

So here is my transcription of the lyrics.Things in brackets I'm not totally sure of.
Having listened very closely,and to the sense of the lyrics,I feel convinced that this is 'And the winner is..'


Distance From My History(?) (And The Winner Is...)


This dance is so hard,I seem to never learn its steps
I seem to never learn its turns,this dance is so hard

This song is so strange I seem to never get the notes
I seem to never get the lines,the melody seems to change from time to time

(Chorus)
And I was sure I knew the hours of the day
And I was sure I knew the month when I was (straight)
And I was sure I knew my history,was sure there was no mystery
Just waking up or going to sleep in or out of pain

This dream is so real I do my best to make it go
To (unpierce?) and to destroy, this dream is so real

This day is so new I tried to sleep,I slept before
But it's not valid any more,reality seems to change
From time to time

(Chorus)

This (card) can't be played 'cause it's the first time I can win
They never taught me how to win it wasn't my game
This is my chance,must stop the shaking of my hands
Must hold them (to it) while I dance
This is my chance

No that's all cobblers,surely.It's easy to isolate a few of the tracks on a song.This is just the string tracks without the vox,no 'special mix'.It's straight off the JC s/t.
Beth, you will LOVE 'And the winner is...'. :)

Ah,Crystallina, the words for this song were actually printed on the CQD site when it did a 'special ' on 'Jean-Claude'.So I've amended your text!
