Enjoy the ride on the Forestella train. They are awesome . Try listening to some of the classical cross-over songs like Parla Piu Piano, Del Amore Non Si Sa, also listen to Lazenca Save Us, Save Our Lives and some of their covers like Bad Romance, Legends Never Die.
Thank you for your interesting review! This is the 2nd part of their trilogy. You can see act 4~6 here. The 1st part was their Save our lives and you can find act 1~3 there. The theme of the song was like Utopia for human beings might be dystopia for nature. And we need to find a way to co-exist because human beings are also a part of the nature. In the end of Save our lives- their original song as well, previous of Utopia, you can see the World Tree was growing up. That concept of world tree of life is from Nordic myth's Yggdrasill so their concept and story is also a crossover of the biblical metaphors and nordic mythical symbols.. and they took the 4 elements idea of Aristotle in the Save our lives like each of Forestella is representing an element like the Fire, the Water, the Air and the Earth. Interestingly, their vocal ranges fit the elements for each too. We can just guess and imagine stories, I think we can get everything clearer when the 3rd part is released. The composer is a Dutch named Valensia who lives in Valéncia in Spain. Forestella requested him to make an operatic part like Bohemian Rhapsody as Valensia was so strongly influenced by Queen, like to have made Queen tribute album himself. Actually his first demo version of Utopia was named Valéncia, like Barcelona by Freddie Mercury and Monserrat Caballé, a hymn for Valencia. But Forestella changed the lyrics to suit their World Tree and Utopia concept. It's interesting that still we can find some names of local spots in Valéncia, lol. They had more than 17K takes and used more than 400 tracks for this one song. It took more than 2 months of recording as far as they said. As always they sound better in live, so check out their live performance in Mnet too! This song is really addictive and became an earworm in my head like constantly.
You have to do “ Save our lives “ before “ Utopia” . Utopia is a continuation of Save our lives. It’s a rock opera. So you can draw similarities to other performances of similar genre. Several reactors have been able to interpret the dystopian story very well. If you are really interested in following it, you should watch in the right sequence . Utopia begins with Act 4 . Act 1 to 3 is in “ Save our lives”
Oh wow, I never caught the Zelda thing before, but you're right!! LOL You're not going to say it, but we will... Queen. HEAVILY influenced them and the Composer, Valencia. English, Latin, Italian, they love to play with languages. Their pronunciations are very good too. This is part TWO of a three part series. The first part is "Save Our Lives" (another original song), the third has yet to be released (You will notice Acts listed through the song, this one is Acts 4-6). They represent the 4 elements in the creation and then destruction of Earth (the World Tree). Mingyu - Classical Tenor and Leader - Air Doohoon - Musical Theater - Water (pretty sure this is because he was in the Navy LOL) Hyungho - Rock/Countertenor - Fire Woorim - Could that amazing Bass be anything other than Earth?? Definitely worthy of the playlist. Glad you're taking the time to look them over. They deserve the attention.
