Black Symphony DVD

The visuals rock. I love them.

This is true. They're just so AWESOME. And on that 600 ft screen. O.O

Amazing.

I hope I get my Black Symphony DVD soon....*sulks*



HUZZAH FOR WT!!!

Yours'll be there any day now, I'm sure.

You did pre-order it, right?

I think she ordered from WT shop which is being slow as hell lately. My Forgiven single has yet to show up.

Oh yeah. There is that. My package took forever as well.

That totally fails. *snugs Amy*

Yay your DVD has come Andy *hugs*

AWESOME.

Meh, I hate The Cross' visuals.

I thought this part from the orchestra recordings was funny. "What are they going to sing?" "Ha, ha, ha." Oh well, you should hear it.

That was funny xD

Why don't you like The Cross' visuals??

Same, at least the part where they show this girl cutting herself.

Huh? I missed that.

It's there just watch the screens on The Cross performance during BS and Eindhoven shows.

Oh!

Ohh...

Yeah, don't like that much either.

Are you joking?

I like the visuals. But The Cross is one of my favourite songs right now so maybe I'm biased.

The visuals for The Cross were a bit much, especially considering they didn't do that inter-cutting for many songs.

Maybe I'm being biased too. I love the song and the visuals go with one of the ways I relate to it but that is just me.

So I guess we all know now that The Cross is about clerical abuse if we're to judge by the visuals.

That may not be what the visuals meant they looked a bit deeper in meaning than clerical abuse to me.

Well... it would make sense. If you break up the lyrics, it makes sense.
It could a dialogue of sorts...


I keep wondering why
I’m still calling your name through my tears
Clergy in a way represents God. And when something goes wrong lots of people call on God.

Why have you waited to embrace me my dear?
Possibly something the abuser would say.

I’m sorry if you can’t stand the naked truth
All you see is how you want it to be
So you keep on living your life
Many people don't want to admit it even exists. Even though there are proven cases.

In my heart I still hope you will open the door
You can purify it all, answer my call
Calling on God again, trying to forget and repress possibly.

To me I saw it as like a personal letter to God. Because it's talking about the lying of Judas, bearing a cross or burden, and calling out a name for help through tears.

That makes a lot of sense too.

I think The Cross is a pretty open ended song... you probably interpret a hundred different ways.

Most of the songs are which is why I think our own personal interpretation sometimes is best.

Very true. Anyway, I like the visuals on all the songs. They're REALLY cool. They did such an excellent job with this DVD. And I also like how they did flashes of different effects like watercolor, greyscale, edge define, etc. That made it that much more epic, I think.

OMG NO! I thought "The Cross" was about a neglected spouse...I never figured that.
