DragonForce - 'Wildest Dreams' (Taylor Swift cover)

He said, "Let's get out of this town
Drive out of the city, away from the crowds"
I thought, "Heaven can't help me now"
Nothing lasts forever
But this is gonna take me down

He's so tall and handsome as hell
He's so bad, but he does it so well
I can see the end as it begins
My one condition is

Say you'll remember me
Standin' in a nice dress
Starin' at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your
Wildest dreams, ah, ha
Wildest dreams, ah, ha

I said, "No one has to know what we do"
His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room
And his voice is a familiar sound
Nothin' lasts forever
But this is gettin' good now

He's so tall and handsome as hell
He's so bad, but he does it so well
And when we've had our very last kiss
My last request it is

Say you'll remember me
Standin' in a nice dress
Starin' at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your
Wildest dreams, ah, ha (Ha, ha)
Wildest dreams, ah, ha

You'll see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burnin' it down
Someday, when you leave me
I bet these memories
Follow you around
You'll see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burnin' (Burnin') it (It) down (Down)
Someday, when you leave me
I bet these memories
Follow (Follow) you (You) around (Around)
(Follow you around)

Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress
Starin' at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just pretend
Say you'll remember me
Standin' in a nice dress
Starin' at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your (Just pretend, just pretend)
Wildest dreams, ah, ha (Ah-ah)
In your wildest dreams, ah, ha
Even if it's just in your
In your wildest dreams, ah, ha
In your wildest dreams, ah, ha

Οι DragonForce μας έρχονται από την πρωτεύουσα της Αγγλίας. Δημιουργήθηκαν το μακρινό 1999 (τα δύο πρώτα χρόνια ως DragonHeart), μας συστήνονται ως «Grammy nominated, RIAA Platinum extreme power metal band», αυτοχαρακτηρίζονται ως «the fastest band in the world» και έχουν κυκλοφορήσει -μεταξύ άλλων- εννέα (9) full length albums. Το ένατο (και πλέον πρόσφατο) φέρει τον τίτλο "Warp Speed Warriors" και "βγήκε" προ μηνός...

Δελτίο τύπου: «The world’s fastest band, GRAMMY nominated extreme power metal legends DragonForce, are Warp Speed Warriors! The iconic unit is known for their masterful, unparalleled and lightning-fast signature guitar solos that influenced a whole genre.

The band around virtuoso guitarists and founding members Herman Li and Sam Totman are highly inspired by a myriad of heavy metal styles, fantasy realms and video games.

Formed in 1999, DragonForce has captivated audiences worldwide with their highly successful records and iconic singles, including the platinum-selling hit "Through the Fire and Flames" - the ultimate challenge for gamers on the legendary “Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock”.

Renowned for their epic compositions that expand the boundaries of heavy metal, on their highly anticipated new full-length, DragonForce explore a wider range of varying musical styles than ever before, evolving their sound throughout the exciting musical journey.

Breathtaking opening track “Astro Warrior Anthem” lives up to DragonForce’s reputation as the world's fastest band, captivating the listener from the very beginning and stunning with guitar solos delivered at an extreme speed.

Following Zelda inspired track “Power of the Triforce” keeps the volume high before DragonForce temporarily slows it down for the ballad ”Kingdom of Steel”. Rapid drum patterns and thrilling guitars carry the catchy “Burning Heart”, while chanting “Space Marine Corp” features a strong and uplifting chorus.

Electronic influences on grandiose power metal anthem “The Killer Queen” hypnotize, as singer Marc Hudson’s vocals reach for the skies. On “Doomsday Party”, 80s rock influences meet captivating retro video game soundscapes and epic guitar solos in true DragonForce manner.

The last original track on Warp Speed Warriors, “Pixel Prison”, is followed by DragonForce's unexpected yet brilliant cover of Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)”, that wraps up the epic adventure.

Warp Speed Warriors, produced by Herman Li, Sam Totman and Damien Rainaud -and mixed and mastered by the latter- is a matchless, innovative listening experience that continues the band's legacy with songs that will, without a shadow of a doubt, become instant classics in and beyond the DragonForce canon.»
