Description

A fusion of Christian gregorian chants and pop music. Gregorian is a German band (not real monks), headed by Frank Peterson, which performs Gregorian chant-inspired versions of modern pop and rock songs. Because it features both vocal harmony and instrumental accompaniment, the music cannot be considered true Gregorian chant but it's a nice fusion of both styles. True Gregorian chant is a Christian religious music (Catholic) sung in Latin with only voices and no music.


The criteria for song selection were strict; in order to be considered, a song needed to be translatable into the 7-tone scale. After the songs were chosen, twelve vocalists were hired. The vocalists then record their parts in a church atmosphere with dimmed lights and candles, in order to escape what Peterson referred to in a 2001 interview as the "cold and technical" studio atmosphere.


The present song is from the album Masters of Chant Chapter III.

Transcript

Looking from a window above
It's like a story of love
Can you hear me?
Came back only yesterday
I'm moving farther away
Want you near me

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you

Sometimes when I think of your name
When it's only a game
And I need you
Listen to the words that you say
It's getting harder to stay
When I see you

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you


Aah, aah...


All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you


This is going to take a long time
And I wonder what's mine
Can't take no more
Wonder if you'll understand
It's just the touch of your hand
Behind a closed door



All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you


Aah, Aah...
