Libera - Far Away (Angel Voices)

Music by Takatsugu Muramatsu; Words by Robert Prizeman.



I was introduced to Libera by a friend. He recommended me Libera's Sanctus because it sampled Bach's Canon in D. Sanctus sounded "OK" to me but I was quite into the boys' voice already after listening to it.

So I googled and youtubed around and found Far Away, which quickly become my favourite song of Libera. Personally, I think Libera is kinda like Christian choir, but it doesn't matter at all whether they are or not as their music really brings peace and calm to me whenever I listen to them, and that's the beauty of their work!

I don't know how to explain this as I'm not a Christian, but I can feel the religious resonance in this song. I just like it so much, bravo boys!

Lyrics:
Wherever I go
Far away and anywhere

Time after time you always shine
through dark of night calling after me

And whereever I climb
Far away and anywhere

You raise me high beyond the sky
through stormy night lifting me above

Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
Venite Spiritu Venite Spiri tus

Whenever I cry
Far away and anywhere

You hear me call when shadows fall
your light of hope showing me the way
