Nicoletta Rosellini - Tears Of The Dragon (Bruce Dickinson cover)

For too long now
There were secrets in my mind
For too long now
There were things I should've said

In the darkness
I was stumbling for the door
To find a reason
To find the time, the place, the hour

Waiting for the winter sun
And the cold light of day
The misty ghosts of childhood fears
The pressure is building
And I can't stay away

I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon
For you and for me

Where I was
I had wings that couldn't fly
Where I was
I had tears I couldn't cry

My emotions
Frozen in an icy lake
I couldn't feel them
Until the ice began to break

I have no power over this
You know I'm afraid
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, I'm slipping away

I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon
For you and for me

Slowly I awake
Slowly I rise
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving,
I'm slipping away

I throw (I throw) myself (myself) into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face (to face) the fear (the fear) I once believed
The tears of the dragon
For you and for me

I throw (I throw) myself (myself) into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face (to face) the fear (the fear) I once believed
The tears of the dragon
For you and for me

Nicoletta Rosellini: Ιταλίδα τραγουδίστρια, 34 ετών. Ξεκίνησε μέσω της μπάντας διασκευών Neverwing, η οποία δραστηριοποιήθηκε από το 2007 έως το 2010 και στην συνέχεια μετονομάσθηκε σε Kalidia (που διαλύθηκαν προ τριετίας, το 2022).

Πλέον την ακούμε στα συγκροτήματα Alterium, Walk in Darkness και The Erinyes. Παράλληλα έχει δημιουργήσει και YouTube κανάλι στο οποίο μας παρουσιάζει βίντεο με διασκευές. Η πλέον πρόσφατη αφορά το πασίγνωστο τραγούδι "Tears Of The Dragon".

Το εν λόγω μουσικό κομμάτι, (πρωτο)κυκλοφόρησε ως single στις 28 Μαΐου του 1994 και προετοίμαζε το έδαφος για τον δίσκο του Bruce Dickinson "Balls to Picasso" που κυκλοφόρησε τον Ιούνιο της ίδιας χρονιάς. Η Nicoletta μας λέει σχετικά:

«Discover the depth of "Tears of the Dragon" in my acoustic cover. Originally performed by Bruce D. in 1994, this powerful ballad explores themes of change, inner struggle, and rebirth.

In this version, the arrangement focuses on the emotional essence of the song, with gentle guitar and expressive vocals emphasizing its melancholic character.»
