In the sense of Rock 'n' Roll and Heavy Metal, it definately had operatic elements, a full concept and countless high profile vocalists who could curely make a greate career on Broadway. But this time I have tried to do things a bit differently: I wanted to come up with something that was more abstract and not your typical good-vs-evil fantasy stuff. I didn't want to keep it within the limitations of a once-upon-a-time fairytale. and I didn't want to squeeze the story into the tight corset of pedantry. I wanted to do something metaphoric, so I wouldn't unveil and ruin the mystery of the story. Follow me to the 19th century and walk the path of a composer slowly going insane; bouncing from passion to success, from isolation to acclaim, from heaven to hell, and from genius to insanity. This is my personal Faust-story. A lot of stuff is based on personal experience and thoughts. I can't go too deep into the story here, there is a fine line between reality and fiction and I will not reveal where it is to be drawn. But I am damned certain that everyone will be able to find some element of themselves in the "Scarecrow." It is me, and it is you! God Bless you and good night. - Tobias Sammet, Octover 2007 |

if anyone actually buys these CD's and does not just download them, they would have the sleeve which has the following on it : The Scarecrow is a tragic story of a lonesome creature, emotionally isolated from his environment and suffering from a distorted sensory preception. His feelings for the love of his life unrequited. He sets off on a journey exploring the left-hand path, striving for inner peace, ploughing his way to approval and eventually facing temptation at the inner depths of the human soul... "About eight years have passed since I started wriging my first conceptual project under the style of Avatnasia. Although it was called a "Metal Opera." It was not really an opera. I don't know too much about opera, in fact I know nothing about it and I can't even read scores. continued below |

Quoted - I live in the USA but I think it's pathetic. I think it's pathetic how they're willing to dick around with other countries' business yet they can't their own. Thats basically what the song is saying. - end quoting This is kind of an ignorant comment. This is only true when a Republican is in office, as in post WWI republicans, they are more interested in foreign affairs than homeland affairs. When a Democrat is in office, its the exact opposite, Homeland is more important than Foreign affairs. This is what is fucked up, the priorities of each party, there needs to be a happy medium. USA is fucking awesome, we have way more freedom than the rest of the world. People always talk about us being ignorant or distracted by the media, but the truth is, if you have a few brain cells, you could avoid this. I agree our politicians are fucked up, but our country is great. 9/11 happened because Clinton didn't do enough when he was dealing with Osama; however, Bush took advantage of the situation to take care of his daddy's un-finished business. Plus, he gets the added bonus of some oil for his vice presidents former employer. It was no one person's fault, although everyone likes to try and point the finger at just one person. Ok, I am done, and by the way, no need to use foul language as much as some of you have, calm down before posting. |
