[Verse 1] In a misty mountain forest Above the castle in the air Is a magician in the mountain Who lives through life without care [Verse 2] As the sun arises out Of the sky beneath the moon A magenta colored fountain Spills away to come true [Bridge] Imaginary elf Made into the sea As one of royal nature He who wants to be [Verse 3] He shows a way to all So everyone can see That magic starts a fever Within society [Verse 4] In a misty mountain forest Above the castle in the air [Our thoughts?] will keep on turning To try and keep you there [Verse 1] [Verse 5] In a misty mountain forest Above the castle in the air Is a magician in the mountain And we shall take you there
If you like the combination of genres check out the band "Elster Silberflug" and their album "Ich fahr dahin". "Lied vom Kräutelein" is particularly interesting..
This was recorded on the Deram label - a subsidiary from Decca Records - which was renowed for it's outstanding sound quality. The Moody Blues' Days Of Future Passed was the first album issued on Deram - deliberately produced to showcase Deram's outstanding stereo quality, which was much better than the 'pingpong' stereo many records had in the mid-sixties. David Bowie also has some lesser known early tracks recorded in Deram Dynamic Sound as it was known then and they too sound exquisite.
Someone offered me this record once for lousy 50 €uro - I found it not good enough and didn't buy it... xD Today it is sold over 450 €uros, hahaha! xD (pat, Switzerland)
