Imaginaerum audio samples

Here are the official tasters from Imaginaerum!

Even Amazon was so enthusiastic about the album, that they had to share these samples without asking us...

If you want to experience the true impact of the album, we recommend that you do something else and not listen to these.

With lots of respect!

Storytime lyrics

Storytime

`Twas the night before

When all through the world

No words, no dreams, then one day

A writer by a fire

Imagined all Gaia

Took a journey into a child-man`s heart

A painter on the shore

Imagined all the world

Within a snowflake on his palm

Unframed by poetry

A canvas of awe

Planet Earth falling back into the stars

I am the voice of Never-Never-Land

The innocence, the dreams of every man

I am the empty crib of Peter Pan

A silent kite against the blue, blue sky

Every chimney, every moonlit sight

I am the story that will read you real

Every memory that you hold dear

I am the journey

I am the destination

I am the home

The tale that reads you

A way to taste the night

The elusive high

Follow the madness

Alice, you know once did

Imaginarium

A dream emporium

Caress the tales

And they will dream you real

A storyteller`s game

Lips that intoxicate

The core of all life is a limitless chest of tales

I am the voice of Never-Never-Land

The innocence, the dreams of every man

I am the empty crib of Peter Pan

A silent kite against the blue, blue sky

Every chimney, every moonlit sight

I am the story that will read you real

Every memory that you hold dear

I am the voice of Never-Never-Land

The innocence, the dreams of every man

Searching heavens for another Earth

Imaginaerum – Update from Tuomas

A fantastic day everyone!

It`s Wednesday the 9th of November and the first single of Imaginaerum called "Storytime" is finally out today. It`s part 1 of a very long homecoming, 4 years in the making. Makes me feel a bit sad, fairly relieved and ultimately proud. Sad that a certain journey is finally coming to an end, relieved that everything worked out beautifully, and proud of the band members` and the fellow imagineers` effort in getting this colossal project together. Thank you.

I saw the first edits of Imaginaerum The Movie a week ago. Stobe and Mathieu have been working with the edits a few weeks now and the parts I saw were very convincing. The demo scores (by the tech wizard Petri Alanko) are working out wonderfully, even though we still need to toy around with them quite a bit. The special effects guys have also begun their work, so once we get all these layers together some truly mind blowing movie magic will be born. Basically now we just have to wait patiently and try not to breathe too much into their backs, and let them do their magic.

In the meanwhile, loads of promo and rehearsals still to be done.

Such exciting times,

-Tuomas
