Описание: Hopelessly Slipping Away (feat. Tom Baker, Cammie Gilbert & Tommy Karevik) from the Ayreon album Transitus.

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
