So I adore Kamelot. My favourite band in the history of ever. The great thing about their songs is that they are just plain and simple GOOD SONGS. Taken out of a metal context, they work.

So this is a start on a house mix of 'The Human Stain' from the Ghost Opera album. Such a gorgeous song, completely beautiful in it's bleak depiction of the tough times that humanity is facing at the moment, yet it retains an underlying sense of hope underneath all the darkness.

I can't sing like Roy Khan... nobody can. So instead of even attempting to emulate his vocal stylings, I've gone off on my own tangent. Melodically, it will be the same basic stuff that went on in the original, but I think my vocals are unique enough to make it not sound like a total carbon copy.

This is the first WIP, so there;s way more yet to do.

The lyrics I have in there so far are a mix of the first and second choruses... it's an intro chorus, and I think it works in relaying the initial motivations of Roy's fantastic lyrics.

Lyrics so far:

So it hurts to be alive my friend.

In this silent tide we're driftwood passing by.

Don't you wish you were unborn again.

Just for a minute

just for a minute more.

I hope you guys enjoy this
