“・・・このアルバムで僕はほとんど全てのタイプの人にアピールできたのではないかと思う。” |
VoiceはデビューアルバムLoveの未加工のアプローチから大きく方向転換されている。このアルバムは前作と比べずっと作りこまれ、Vocalscapes（ボーカルスケープ）、効果、様々なキーボードサウンドがとりこまれている。それでもなお生命のバイブレーションはそこに存在し、特に“I Found a Friend”や“Beautiful Girl”(Coming soon!) のような曲にはそれが強く感じられるだろう。アコースティック楽器はナイロンストリングギターやアコーディオンを始めブズーキ（bouzouki：ギリシャの弦楽器）やアイリッシュフルートまで沢山の曲に使われている。“It’s a New Day”にはイケてるロックのバイブと歓喜がダンサブルなクラブビートと共にちりばめられ、それはただ喜びに満ちていて楽しいんだ！アルバムVoiceのテーマはロマンス、友情、希望、喜び、その他これらの様な美徳を中心に展開している。全体としてとても高揚感と爽快感のあるアルバムに仕上がり、聴いた人を生気に満ち溢れた気分、人生の深さと色を抱きしめたくなる気分にしてくれるだろう。完成すればこのアルバムは、様々な文化の味を少し効かせた世界規模のバイブを持つことになるだろう。オープニング曲の“The Sun The Moon The Stars”は世界中で非常によく受け入れられていて、シングル曲になるのではないかと思う。この曲やアルバム内の他の曲を通して、メタルからメロウまでほとんど全てのタイプの人にアピールできたのではないかと思う。

曲目リスト
the sun the moon the stars
I can hear your whisper, awaken me
Beauty of an angel, color of a dream
And it feels like heaven touching you this way
I saw forever as you began to sing…
You are the sun the moon the stars
You are the light inside my world
You are the summer's kiss of falling rain
You are everything
Here we are together, one sacred flame
Burning with desire, light and purity
Underneath the heavens, kiss and running free
In Love’s constellation, throughout eternity
You are the sun the moon the stars
You are the light inside my world
You are the summer's kiss of falling rain
You are everything
I love you, I love you, I love the light upon your face
I love you, I love you, I love your touch and gentle kiss
I love you, I love you, I love the way that you love me
I love you I love you, I think you’re beautiful
I love you, I love you, your every little perfect way
You are the sun the moon the stars!

the one
Lilies in the field
I kissed your lips and tasted what was real
Now I can know
I’ll never be alone
The arrow of your love turned flesh out of stone
You are the one
I don’t wanna live without your love
I don’t wanna live without you forever
To me you are the sun
I don’t wanna live without your love
I don’t wanna live without you another day
For me you are the one
Naked soul, transparency
I’ve give you all I’ve got
Then let you be free
One day in time
A thousand years to come
We’ll be together
Forever in love
One
You are the one
I don’t wanna live without your love
I don’t wanna live without you forever
To me you are the sun
I don’t wanna live without your love
I don’t wanna live without you another day
For me you are the one

i found a friend
Travelling far, all alone, I left behind my only home
in search of a city made with pure gold. I found a friend,
I found a friend in you!
Now we're together spirit and soul, and I've learned much more
than I've ever know, mysteries and power ancient as time.
I found a friend, I found a friend in me.
La dee dee di dee di, lai dee di dee doh
La dee dee di dee di, lai dee di dee doh

it's a new day
Hello world, this is Niko, have you got just a moment?
I woke up this morning with the sun on my face, thought about the future, love, the world a better place.
No more fear and no more doubt clouding our lives, let’s jump by faith, fly high!
It’s a new day for the world to see, there’s a hope for you and me.
It’s a new day for the world to see, there’s a hope for you and me.
Have you ever seen a flower blooming in the spring
The laughter of a child and the innocence it brings
Have you ever had a lover whisper your name
There’s a thousand reasons why we should hope and sing…
It’s a new day for the world to see, there’s a hope for you and me.
It’s a new day for the world to see, there’s a hope for you and me.
Every joy, and every dream, every hope in everything, every child and every friend, every gift in every hand!
There’s a reason to believe, there’s a reason to change, there’s a reason to hope my friend.
If you feel like hope is gone, lift up your eyes and know!
Freedom in your heart is a gift to heal your soul
It’s a new day for the world to see, there’s a hope for you and me.
It’s a new day for the world to see, there’s a hope for you and me.
