Silent Hill: Book of Memories Original Soundtrack

[Yuki]

I had a small feeling that Troy Baker was the special guest in Love Psalm song. Here's the confirmation, some months ago I remember writing something about it.

“Well hopefully you also like the new song Mary Elizabeth and I did. “

This means that Silent Hill: Book of Memories is getting a new song with vocals by Troy Baker and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn

Disappointed... hope that my opinion changes after hearing the song, I was expecting just Mary Elizabeth. Well... let's see...

Huh. I wonder if I'll like it; I love Troy Baker's voice, but his singing that I've watched in concert videos isn't exactly my favourite. I really love the 30-second preview of Love Psalm, though, so we'll see.

The special guest is not Troy Baker

The special guest is not Troy Baker

Haha, you're such a tease.

[captain crowbar]

Joe Romersa?

[Tomm]

The soundtrack is out today - go see for yourself.

I ordered it from Amazon today I can't wait!

[spike32]

Wow, AWESOME special guest, didn't expect that I guess the Baker song was cut, cause he did state he sung for a Silent Hill game with Mary Elizabeth Mcglynn.

[TheCrazy]

Both songs, Now we're free and Love Psalm mark a big difference from what we've been used to hear on the previous soundtracks, showing the clear depature of the well known Akira Yamaoka, whose style is so unique. Sounds strange in the first time seconds but as soon as I got into the music it was just awesome, I was really looking forward to see Mary's return.

I guess the Baker song was cut, cause he did state he sung for a Silent Hill game with Mary Elizabeth Mcglynn.

I think he appears on Love Psalm, I guess I've heard his voice in the background.

REVEAL SPOILER

Does Akira make part of Love Psalm song? I heard people saying that the 2:39 was him playing, I can see that but was that the real akira or they only used that melody?

Huh, still no mp3 download on amazon or Itunes

Agreed, I've been patiently waiting to buy it off Itunes and nothing.

Ah thanks, that helps, was wondering if Baker was just backup, but it's cool he got to do more with it. Also I heard Eyeshine had something to do with it. Overall everyone just made it amazing, so glad they decided to redo this song. I like how if you put it into Silent Hill 2, the lyrics would still fit for that game as well.

[TheCrazy]

The only thing that bothers me are the lyrics, I miss Joe Romersa. Love Psalm ones are okay but still too much obvious refering the book of memories when we are asked if we'd like to rewrite our life anyway that we'd please and tear off pages of memories. But in Now We're Free the lyrics sound quite strange some times, specially at the beggining... however, Mary's performance blew me away, and Akira's participation just made everything even better.

I thought Joe Romersa's lyrics were quite clunky, to be honest...

Love Psalm

Does anyone have the lyrics?

[Yuki]

Based on a listen of "Love Psalm", these are the lyrics I'm hearing:

REVEAL SPOILER

It starts with the life of a dream
it could be
and starin' into the eyes of the shadow left of me

and now, every decision I make
the good, the pleasure, and the pain
could simply all be erased
if I choose it to be

this nightmare unfolds like a rose
and wades to the spring
and so close to the sanity I'm trying to cling to
I'm tearin' out the pages 'cause it hurts
to be forced to feel the hearts break
how much of this torture can I take?
is it not worth the risk to create
just one
more try
I know that I can fix it

if you could rewrite our life any way that you please
would you tear out the pages of our memories?
would you take back the pain and all the hurt we create?
or would you be satisfied with the life that you've made
with me?

if you could rewrite our life any way that you please
would you tear out the pages of our memories?
would you take back the pain and all the hurt we create?
or could you be satisfied with the promise you made?

so we rewrite our life but it's not what we think
in the chaos we dance as we stand on the brink
always one treat away from makin' lives as we please
but then we'll perish in flames
and I'll watch as you fade from me

rewrite our love psalm
rewrite our love psalm
rewrite our love psalm
rewrite our love psalm...

The italicized lines are ones that I'm not sure about.

As for "Now We're Free":

REVEAL SPOILER

I have these pages torn and crumbled on the floor
When we were younger
I had a heavy heart
it doesn't want to start
to love you again

now we're free

the time, it ticks away
the hands, they so say
the words we cannot speak

your soul, it's black and white
your shadows dance at night
atop a moonlit peak

now we're free
now we're free
now we're free
now we're free

your flesh'll harms the skin
your greatest day of sin
it's all a part of me now

it kills me every day
my heart is torn and frayed
and born insanity

now we're free
now we're free
now we're free
now we're free
now we're free
now we're free

now we're...
now we're free
now we're free

now we're free

[Tomm]

REVEAL SPOILER

This isn't the life that I dreamed it could be
I'm starin' into the eyes of the shell left of me

and now, every decision I make
the good, the pleasure, and the pain
could simply all be erased
if I choose it to be

this nightmare unfolds like a rose awakes to the spring
always so close to the sanity I'm trying to cling to

I'm tearin' out the pages 'cause it hurts
to be forced to feel the hearts break
how much of this torture can I take?
is it not worth the risk to create
just one
more try
I know that I can fix it

if you could rewrite our life any way that you please
would you tear out the pages of our memories?
would you take back the pain and all the hurt we create?
or could you be satisfied with the love that you've made
with me?

if you could rewrite our life any way that you please
would you tear out the pages of our memories?
would you take back the pain and all the hurt we create?
or could you be satisfied with the promise you made?

so we rewrite our lives but it's not what we think
in the chaos we dance as we stand on the brink
always one change away from makin' ourselves complete
the world will perish in flames
and I'll watch as you fade from me

we write our love psalm
rewrite our love psalm
we write our love psalm
rewrite our love psalm
