A while ago I had shared my great liking for the art of talented Argentinian illustrator Gaston Viñas whose favourite medium is cartoon animation. His works include two videos for Radiohead. Like me, that's actually after randomly viewing his "2+2=5" clip on YouTube that Kingcrow singer Diego Marchesi was inspired to contact him: “I told Gaston how much I appreciated his art. He wrote back that he loved Kingcrow – and that’s how it started. I gave him some input about the album concept, the artwork and the lyrics, and he came out with another brilliant piece of art.” The somewhat atypical Italian hard rock sextet, who took its name from a poem by Edgar Poe, was founded in the late 1990's in Rome and has ever since known many changes in its original line-up. This excellent track comes from their sixth album Eidos, released this year on independent label Sensory Records. Incidentally, I had just completed an article on summer bugs (essentially based on French idiomatic expressions and puns which can't be translated into English) featuring an animated GIF with moths circling around a lighted lantern when Gaston sent me this video (in July). I found the coincidence rather amusing.
Ey@elReally don’t you realize
What you lost during your search for glory?
Just like moths we may go blind
Chasing for the glow of our desires.
Time keeps crawling
While you’re burning...
Time keeps crawling
While you’re burning...
Dealing with some big regret
Or dreaming of a different life somewhere else —
Someone else
And your heroes turned to dust.
Did you trade your dreams for common knowledge?
Was it fair?
Time keeps crawling
While you’re burning...
Time keeps crawling
While you’re burning...
Sometimes it calls
And the past howls through the night...
Sometimes it calls
And the past howls through the night...
