NOTES + LYRICS OF THE MONTH

This month's chart is another extreme makeover with 9 new entries and 1 ex-number-one song going down.

The number 1 song is entitled "Manolis" taken from the new fantastic album of Via Mistica . This song has the attracting melody of the nostalgic years and places. It is a dreamy song but also with a centered solo guitar. The ending is kind of epical with the eager call for Manolis.

At number 2 we have the return of ShamRain with a new MCD "Deeper Into the Night". ShamRain stands firm with their melancholic mood that puts right where they intended to.

The third highest new entry comes from the newly acclaimed European darksynch band And One. Taken from their full "Bodypop" album, this song swings towards the underground club scenes with more words and less trance. For And One, that's creative!

We finally welcome the come-back of Behind The Scenes after a long absence. We also highlight the excellent cover by Angtoria!

SHAMRAIN - SOUND OF SNOW

You live inside a dream
You hide from the life
Inside a fragile shell
I hear a silent cry

all light escapes
a void behind windows
in their eyes blind
I blend with gloom
I cannot stay
I'm a stain on your facades
in your small world
my faith is doomed

You cut me with
your fingers razor-sharp
as you try to show
just how much you love

all light escapes
a void behind windows
in their eyes blind
I blend with gloom
I cannot stay
I'm a stain on your facades
in your small world
my faith is doomed

deep inside i know
You'll always conceal
A wish impossible
You're not coming back

VIA MISTICA - MANOLIS

O, Manolis
You came to me
You came that night
Just like a dream

I remember your hands
The taste of your kiss
Like wine
Made the whole world twirling
I wanted to jump into
Your eyes

I hold you tight
In my memories
I experience this night
In every dream
I catch your image
I deceive myself
That this time
Could be back
