Gesungene Stones Version von Ymochel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b8iSun51mc)
David R. Watson - manchen besser bekannt unter seinem Pseudonym "Iolo" - ist untrennbar mit der Geschichte von Ultima verbunden. Und er wird es auch mit Ultima Onlines Erben SotA sein: Richard Garriott hat heute darüber informiert, dass Iolo mit "Karelias Song" eines der tragenden Stücke für SotA beisteuern wird. Portalarium hat sich dieser Tage die Rechte an dem Lied gesichert.
Hier eine instrumentale Version:
Karelias Song (https://d2sx9mrt4zumaq.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Shroud_Karelias_Instrumental_v5.mp3)
Und hier der Text zu "Karelias Song":
Karelia’s Song
Now the Baron of Eastmarch's fair sorcerous daug
was enamored unseemly with the fool of her lord.
Though her Duke was deemed handsome, he'd a soul
and a dark mind as empty as last summer's gourd.
And the fool he was clever and he sang for the l
like a nightingale piping in a deep forest grove
But his station was lowly and his body was agein
and their love was as hopeless as if he was ston
So the lady has led them, the fool and her husba
to her cool secret garden by the midsummer's moo
And she’s danced them a spell there of shifting
and left them dumbfounded by sorcery's boon.
She has left a fool crying to the gods of his fa
She has led her duke laughing to her high chambe
And she's kept him there softly, through two day
while her servants all gossiped in wonder and aw
So the fool died in madness, saying he was ensor
and the duke only smiled him a sad secret smile.
Now her duke rules his people with wit and good
and he sings for his lady like the nightingale's
And she's borne him five children, two sons and
and they've grown straight and handsome, and sor
And they dance in the garden and they sing in th
like nightingales piping in green forest halls.
Während "Karelias Song" ohne Zweifel ein nett anzuhörendes Stück ist, bleibt "Stones" für mich persönlich das Lieblingsstück aus der Ultima-Welt, da ich es "schnörkelloser", eingängiger und weniger verspielt finde.
Auf jeden Fall hat mit Iolo nun ein weiterer grosser Name der Ultima-Welt den Weg zu SotA gefunden und man darf gespannt sein, welche Klänge von ihm noch die Welt von SotA erfüllen werden.
