Ayreon - Hopelessly Slipping Away (feat. Tom Baker, Cammie Gilbert & Tommy Karevik) (Transitus)

Hopelessly Slipping Away (feat. Tom Baker, Cammie Gilbert & Tommy Karevik) from the Ayreon album Transitus. Order: https://lnk.to/Ayreon This album is incredibly diverse so I really couldn’t choose just one track because I wouldn’t want people to get the wrong impression of the overall mood of the album. So we decided to make a video for both an atmospheric track ‘Hopelessly Slipping Away’ and a rocky track ‘Get out! Now!’ ‘Hopelessly Slipping Away’ features Tommy Karevik (Kamelot) and Cammie Gilbert (Oceans of Slumber) on vocals. It’s a haunting track with analog synthesizers and violin, and it slowly builds to an epic climax with marching snares. In this video we see the ghost of Daniel (Tommy) hopelessly trying to reach out to his beloved wife Abby (Cammie) who clearly feels his presence but can’t see or hear him. LYRICS: [The Storyteller:] Abby returns home, wracked by guilt and shame. Daniel's last cries of "Why? Why?" echo endlessly in her mind. She is broken. Hopeless. Inconsolable. It seems to her that there is only one way out. But then… a strange sensation comes over her... [Abby:] Am I imagining you're near? I feel you all around me Can you let me know you're here Please set me… free [Daniel:] How innocent you are If only I could let you know So near and yet so far So warm and yet so… cold [Abby and Daniel:] I feel you slipping away Hopelessly slipping away [Abby:] My time on Earth is through I've nothing left worth living for I yearn to be with you I ask for nothing… more [Daniel:] I came back to let you know I'm sorry I ever doubted you But you must try to let me go And start your life anew [Abby and Daniel:] I feel you slipping away Hopelessly slipping away I feel I'm slipping… Hopelessly slipping away Video by Crystal Spotlight - #ayreon #arjenlucassen
