I went to Evermore Park twice (December 15 and 17) for the Aurora event and I had the pleasure of discovering what I believe to be unreleased Caranua tracks playing in the park.
In this thread, I'm only going to be talking about the music, not the actual park or the stuff in it. If you'd rather go to Evermore and discover these tracks yourself, I suppose you should stop reading right now so you don't get spoiled.
SPOILER ALERT
There is a beautiful song that I will call Shooting Star which I think is sung by Alex Sharpe (though I'm not confident in that) and seems to have the following the lyrics:
---- _________ as I peer through the mountain[?] _____ glove, faces show There is love all around here.
I remember your arms how they held me so tight. I remember the starry light through the night. Of a shooting star that carries _____ fire[?] and lights the way for souls heavenbound. Shooting star, are you far? Will I be seeing you tonight?
Fire's light, burning bright Shapes your face in my memory. Gentle smile, oh stay a while Loving words whispered softly.
I remember your arms how they held me so tight. I remember the starry light through the night. Of a shooting star that carries _____ fire[?] and lights the way for souls heavenbound. Shooting star, are you far? Will I be home tonight?
Oh a shooting star that carries _____ fire[?] and lights the way for souls heavenbound Shooting star, is heaven far? On Christmas Night? ----
That's right: it only reveals that it is a Christmas song on the very last line. I could not find lyrics for this song online when searching so I believe it is a Caranua original.
There is another song that I will call Herald the New Dawn. I think it is sung by all three Caranua members but one of their voices dominates the rest. I was only able to capture a small fragment of the lyrics:
---- Oh come, oh come and see him, The _________ heavens Declaring gloria as they herald the new dawn Declaring gloria as they herald the new dawn ----
It defnitely sounds like a Christmas carol. I could not find the lyrics online so I think it's another Carnua original.
There is another beautiful song called All Through the Night. Lots of artists have done variations of this song before, including Hayley Westenra. I think it is sung by all three Caranua members in balanced harmony. Here are the lyrics as I heard them:
---- Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee All through the night Guardian angels Lord will send thee All through the night Soft the drowsy hours are creeping Hill and vale in slumber sleeping I my loving vigil keeping All through the night
While the moon her watch is keeping All through the night While the weary world is sleeping All through the night O'er thy spirit gently stealing Visions of delight revealing Breathes a pure and holy feeling All through the night
I also heard them sing Ave Maria in balanced harmony. Additionally, I heard an instrumental version of Ave Maria, which just contains the instrumental parts from the regular Ave Maria track. The instrumental track is dominated by a harp.
I also heard Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring and Carol of the Bells. I forget if Caranua was vocalizing at all during these tracks or if they were just instrumental. They might have been from a different group entirely.
Anyway, my guess is that some time in 2019 we will be getting a wonderful Caranua Christmas CD with Shooting Star, Herald the New Dawn, All Through the Night, Ave Maria, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring and Carol of the Bells, and more.
