Kingfisher Ad Song Mp3 Download [EXCLUSIVE]

Now my question is whether anyone has been able to uncover the voice talent behind the English version of it? Who sings it? Is there a OST English version of the song that doesn't have the in game sounds?

The answer, it would appear, is in the very title. At the crux of the song lie the major themes explored in the Fisher King legend, and further developed in Arthurian mythology. And particularly in the novel that inspired the title of Ys; The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. In these, we find some of the themes explored in the album, but at an epic scale: the relationship between women and men, allegorically represented by the conflict between Christianity and paganism; the idea of a fertility that is tied to the land and the kingdom; and the inescapable and self-fulfilling prophecy that is Fate, with its archetypal re-rendering of History.

In the song, Newsom ties together the legend of the Fisher King, manifested through the characters of Uther and Igraine and their future son Arthur; the theme of the wasteland that the conflict between Christianity and paganism brings; and the wheels of Fate that connect the lovers in the song. These three elements, in turn, allegorically represent the demise of the relationship between the two lovers in Have One On Me: the inherent conflict between Man and Woman within the context of oppression in the patriarchy; the demise of a relationship that cannot be sustained within this very system of oppression; and the binding to and escape from a history that attempts to repeat itself.

Most importantly the song, and the album as a whole, serve Newsom to address and escape certain master narratives that are pervasive in Western societies: namely narratives of betrayal of men towards women, and of being unable to escape the oppression that our patriarchal society proffers men.

Two other songbooks, the Cancionero Musical del Palacio and the Cancionero de Medinaceli, contain all the richness and variety of the Spanish Renaissance in their collections of compositions for instrument and voice. On the other hand, the Upsala collection has preserved fifty-four villancicos.

Versions of the carol abound today. Everyone from Chanticleer to the Monkees have given it a whirl. But in this age of the over-produced, the simplicity of four voices and a timeless song is thrilling. It makes the season shine.

Having been raised between the ages of 10 and 19 in Shreveport, La, I want to ask Rick what he remembers about the kingfisher as he and his dad spent much time outdoors. Interesting to think of a kingfisher in Spain or his call the subject of a Spanish carol.

In April, I stood by a vernal pool listening to the chuckling song of Wood Frogs who had frozen and thawed repeatedly during a Michigan winter. This week I paused to enjoy the rippling melody of a Rose-breasted Grosbeak that rode the wind through the night to end up singing at the edge of a greening field. Life presents all of us mortal creatures with harrowing challenges. And still the wild ones sing, the leaves thrust through tough bark, and fragile flowers open their beauty to feed the world around them.

The history of Kingfisher Sky started in 2001, after drummer Ivar de Graaf left Within Temptation, to pursue his own musical interests, and founded Jambone, with the idea to cover classic rock bands. The band featured Edo Van Der Kolk on lead guitar and Michiel Parqui on bass guitar. Edo had already known Ivar for fifteen years and the trio had been playing together since high school, experimenting with various styles of music. They found a lead vocalist in the classically trained singer Judith Rijnveld and, when Zelda Weski joined as backing vocalist, the line-up was completed. Too widespread are the musical influences of Ivar and together with Judith as the songwriter they explored a way to combine their compositions into songs that didn't bound themselves to a specified genre or weren't tied to a particular single style, with the two female voices giving soul and melody to contrast the heavy groove-oriented music.

The band released a 5-track demo in January 2002, but unfortunately Michiel and Zelda left in October 2003 and Edo took a hiatus. One year later, Ivar decided to change the name to Kingfisher Sky and the duo started recording songs in their home studio in 2005. At an early stage, Eric Hoogendoorn was chosen as the permanent bassist and guitarist Daan Janzing, who was introduced by Ruud Jollie (Within Temptation), was recruited next. George van Olffen on keyboards followed soon after. This resulted in a demo containing 11 tracks in October 2006 and a record deal with Suburban Records was signed in the same year. Edo appeared on the demo as a guest musician, playing a guitar solo on the demo version of "Through My Eyes", before returning full-time in 2007, completing the band for the time being.

Ivar's progressive rock and traditional folk music influences collided with Judith's classical conservatory background, and also her preference for soul. Combined with their mutual love for bands and artists, like Aretha Franklin, Porcupine Tree, Jethro Tull, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Cecilia Bartoli, Mother's Finest, King's X, Skunk Anansie, Anouk, Heart, Clannad, Mike Oldfield and Pink Floyd, new songs were written.

My theory is that it's a tragic love story that took place during World War II. The religious references are not the focus of the song, I think. It took me a long time to see it, but the context speaks of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

Other things like rations, "sounding the alarm" and "preparing for when the bombs hit" keyed me in to war at first, and there's more evidence later in the song that she's talking specifically about Pearl Harbor.

I think Joanna does switch narrators several times during the song. She sometimes sings as Kingfisher him/herself, but other parts are his/her lover addressing or observing Kingfisher. The "quiet" part at the end is more historic, and definitely speaks to me of the persecution of the Japanese after Pearl Harbor:

The stanza:"I know you; you know meWhere have we met before, tell me true?To whose authorityDo you consign your soul?"Clinches the relationship between Kingfisher and the other character; S/he was a Japanese immigrant, and they were lovers before the war. S/he might have even been an actual Japanese spy, but that's not stated very clearly in the song. Now s/he is imprisoned on a military base (in Hawaii?), where Kingfisher sees him/her again.

They rest of the song, while beautiful and fully up to Newsom's poetic standards, says more about their love and less about what actually happened. It's still a love song, but with a historical context and a tragic outcome!

This is exactly what I drew from the lyrics too, a lot of Joanna's songs may have religious (not just Christian) aspects, but I really don't think she focusses on them that often... Usually there's some sort of deeper story there, about a person or people or it's coupled with religion for metaphorical purposes... She's no Sufjan Stevens, guys!

"Kingfisher" might allude to the myth of Alcyone, whose husband Ceyx was killed at sea, came to her in a dream to tell her he had died, whereupon she went to the seashore and threw herself in. They were both turned to kingfishers.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to put all of these things together. It's hard to tell if Joanna is switching narrators throughout the song, who the kingfisher is, how many people are asking questions and being asked questions, how many people are loving other people or killing other people, etc. The whole middle section, "We came by the boatload" to "Do you consign your soul?" really baffles me. What might the recurring images of bombs/ashes/volcanoes mean?

I don't know, but this song to me is one of the eeriest, saddest songs I ever heard, for me it's not just symbolic, but also very much about atomic war and the state the world is in, or possibly could be in, where it's far too late to say sorry when the bombs have already gone off, 'the clouds tick' and everything is going to be destroyed...It's impossible to say sorry to the one you love because it's impossibly hypocritical, any involvement hurts everybody and you can't spare the one you love...

The second part is like some kind of after-life, a boat to another world, post-apocalyptic... I don't know what the reference is to kingfishers is, but according to wikipedia, in Borneo the kingfisher is seen as a sign of bad luck at war and if the warrior sees it on the way to war, he should return home... Lambs are also important...There is a verse in the bible about lambs lying with lions, about the day when supposedly humans should all live in peace with one another...

The first verse is also reminiscent of the bible, being called to make the maker, there are so many themes of death... It fits, somehow, with the feeling of the whole album, so much destruction and pain and violence that the many women portrayed in the songs try to bear, but at some point it's enough, "I can bear a lot but not this pall" (pall being a cover for a coffin) --- maybe it's about the death of hope, too, as the second-last song, before she packs away her dresses, hats and shoes and gives up waiting for her lover... It's all "too late"...

There are also many Biblical references such as the Cypress which features heavily in the Bible (particularly in the Song of Solomon) and was the wood used for Noah's ark. I believe this song works on a few levels, one of which, is Biblical. Perhaps a crisis of faith as was noted earlier.

This song is definitely an elegy lamenting the dead who suffered the eruption of Vesuvius, Pompeii in AD 79...worshiping volcanoes...being immobilized...obsidian and all the other volcanic references!

Belted Kingfishers appear to be the only kingfisher that has adapted to cold temperate North America, and many of them need to migrate south to persist here. There are other Kingfisher species, the Ringed and the Green, in Texas, and still more in Central and South America, so year-round open shallow water seems necessary for lots of members of this family. A similar pattern holds in the Old World, where the Eurasian Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) has expanded into northern Europe and Russia, migrating in winter down to the Mediterranean and Middle East. Africa and the Mediterranean have several more species. 2351a5e196
