Sleeping Romance

Enlighten

The Promise Inside

---

This band name makes me think they must do lots of songs about romance. I am not a romance fan at all. I can't stand watching romance movies, reading books, etc. I know there are lots of people out there into this kind of thing.

Vocals

She can sing. I like that she showed she could go higher as well. Nice voice, just not what I like to listen to.

Music

The music is too softened for me. I am not big into the symphonic style. It doesn't have the energy and strength that I prefer.

I noted that they took it up a notch about three quarters of the way through, but it still didn't do it for me.

Lyrics

This is like a paradox. She thinks she loves, but she is torn apart and feels like she is a captive. Being tense and scared doesn't sound like something to pursue. These lyrics are sad.

Yes, I've been rended, and all I need is
A quiet surrender, but I'm tense and scared instead
In my life I've been caged
By the promise inside

You should know what I'm fighting for
And I still love you more
Like a bird loves his wings
Just let me hold you
You could hear through my voice
And see through my eyes
The promise inside

Does a bird love it's wings? It only knows what it it is like to have wings.
