Ich rodziny jest niesamowity
Uwielbiam starszego syna, nie wiedziałem, że jego ojciec, jest tak jak on, na ich wspólne piosenki są tak emocjonalne i wzruszające. Ich muzyka jest bardzo kojące. Dwa z nich mają takie piękne głosy, że uspokajał moją duszę. Ich teksty są historie ich życia, które nie są łatwe.Niektóre utwory są szczególnie smutne, takich jak stary rybak, czy pieśń o tragicznej śmierci ich siostra i ciotka Christina.I nie przeszkadza, że ich rodzina jest unoszącą się w butelkach z alkoholem. W Szkocji trudne życie. *9* Ich natura podziwiam i podziwiam ich talenty artystyczne, więcej muzyki, proszę! *3* -

Kritika CD Out on the Islands
Ale opět musíte překládat...
*5* *4*
Ado Matheson,
Out on the Islands
(Eagle Owl, 2003)
Out on the Islands is the first CD by Ado Matheson, a Celtic singer-songwriter hailing from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. For years, he has written and performed his own material. As his touring schedule is rather limited, this is most likely the first chance many prospective fans will have to listen to what he has to offer.
To quote the promo material on Ado's first CD, "the songs are a collection of vivid memories, dreams and reflections inspired by the powerful images and emotions of his homeland." The music tends to be very mellow, almost sad. Matheson has a nice voice and the melodies are very supporting for his range.
Most of the 13 selections are slow-paced. One of the few exceptions is the more upbeat song "The Harbor." Matheson sings about coming full circle. His life started in a harbor town and it is calling him back. You can tell how fond he is about the way he grew up; it almost makes folks nostalgic for their own childhood whether they grew up near the ocean or not.
There is an instrumental track on the CD called "Wings on the Water." The melody is led by the piano and backed up by a quiet electrical guitar. Like most of the tracks, the pace is tranquil. It is a pleasant way to end the CD before the hidden track begins. On the last selection, Matheson reinterprets the title track. I prefer this second version. -

Re: Kritika CD Out on the Islands
All the songs on Out on the Islands were written by Matheson. While he plays guitar and piano and handles lead vocals, he does get a little help to flesh out the sound. His son, Hans, provides backing vocals, percussion and violin. Mandy Meaden sings backing vocals on selected tracks. Nick Kacal is on double bass, Simon Lea on drums and last, but not least, Nick Turner on bass, again, for selected pieces.
I do like Out on the Islands as I think many fans of Celtic music would. However, with no offense intended toward Matheson, I admit that I do not find myself reaching for this CD very often. The music is very pretty and occasionally touching. I would definitely go see him perform live if our paths ever crossed. But the CD lacks any musical hooks to keep me coming back. Perhaps my Celtic collection is simply too large and any new Celtic music really has to shine to be singled out. Perhaps the mood is a little too somber for my taste. Do not get me wrong. I think this is a better than average CD in many respects. It simply is not my favorite cup of Celtic tea.

Špatné datum narození!!!
William Matheson je údajně narozen 7.3.1977!!! Není to sice ofic. potvrzené, jako např. na stránkách Imdb, ale na neofic. stránce jeho bratra Hanse kdosi z administrátorů hodil toto datum narození do oběhu a dodal, že je to ze spolehlivého zdroje. *5* Už kdosi v minulosti kdo se uváděl jako jejich známý uvedl, že William je narozen začát
kem března roku 1977. *5* Takže to vypadá jako pravdivá informace. *3* -

William Lewis Matheson * 7.3.1977 - + 7.8.2013
RIP

Všechno nejlepší vašemu krásnému staršímu synovi Hansovi k jeho dnešním 40. narozeninám!!!

Článek z května 1997
Úryvek článku o Adovi Mathesonovi z května 1997 /takže trochu starší/. Ale to vůbec nevadí. V angličtině, takže si ho musíte přeložit.

Iain Matheson
Iain grew up on the Island of Lewis off Scotland. His father was a Gaelic singer and was a strong influence on Iain, whose music reflects the depth, wilderness and beauty of his own culture. He sings mostly in English but some of his songs are in his native Gaelic language.
'I was born to be a musician, but it is only in the past ten years that I became inspired to write my own material. Music and song enable me to communicate a range of emotions. It is a medium with which I can free the pain and suffering that has been locked up inside. My writing is an honest expression of my life experiences and perceptions.
My Celtic background has, in many ways, influenced the subject matter. Gaelic is a very powerful language, especially through song, so I have translated some of my songs into Gaelic as their focus is primarily on the yearning of the Celtic Heart.
They reflect my own culture and my desire to feel a sense of belonging and find happiness. As Sting writes about being an 'Englishman in New York', I write of being an Islander in the city. -

Re: Článek z května 1997
I am inspired by music that conveys the truth. I used to be a big rock and roll fan, but the beats and the noise tend to disolve the words and the meaning behind them. I like to be able to hear the lyrics and to work out the story being told.
Although I am essentially a solo artist, about 5 years ago I started playing at several poetry evenings with Chris Brierley, a very talented and versitile classical violin player. After that we used to play at small clubs and concerts. As we got more and more gigs, the band started to expand. Now 'The Iain Matheson Band' is now composed of Chris, Ben Clark, and experienced tabla and drum player, Alf Thomas on the keyboards, and myself on guitar and lead vocals. Performing live is quite a dynamic experience as everybody is inspired by each other and adds their own creation to the final piece. I prefer this to playing solo because the interaction adds a new dimension to my music. -

Re: Re: Článek z května 1997
On a number of occasions I have played the Union Chapel in London. More recently I supported Marianne Faithful at the Shepherds Bush Empire and was also the support for Davey Spillane at his last concert in London. Earlier this year I was invited to perform at the Midem Festival in France. This was thoroughly enjoyable and projected lots of positive feedback.
The obstacles I have faced during my time as a musician have essentially been caused by record companies who have raised my hopes only to let them fall. I haven't lost faith, however I am planning to go independent and produce an album in the near future. Music is a mirror of my life so, unless it decides to give me up, we're stuck together forever.' -

Texty písní - pár ukázek
NĚJAKÉ TEXTY PÍSNÍ ZPĚVÁKA ADA MATHESONA Z JEHO DEBUTOVÉHO CD "OUT ON THE ISLANDS" VYDANÉHO V ČERVENCI 2003:
Ancestral Chimes
I was feeling torn and tired
In the evening light
Reflections of the past
Turning in the night
Soon it could be over
Feels like it's just began
All the time I'm living
Living on the run
When things don't work out
Like you want them to
And the shadows fall
Between me and you
Let those tears roll down
Until the morning light
And each others arms
We'll carry through the night
Deep down inside
Deep down inside
Oh don't you hide
Deep down inside
Feels like I'm waking up
From a long dark sleep
I feel the beat of my heart
The rhythm in my feet
And I'm never going back
To that broken place
Where you bury the heart
Of the human race
And when the season change
For the very last time
In the ancient sound
Of ancestral chimes
Lay my body down
In the mother of my soul
And my father's arms
Carry me home -

Re: Texty písní - pár ukázek
Songs of the Wind
Oh the ancient cry of truth
That I knew as a a child
Though I've travelled far and wide
Something stirs me from inside
When I hear the song of the wind
I want to dance and let it in
When I hear the song of the wind
I want to sing and dance
To the song of the wind
Far from the rush of the madding crowd
Into the silence of your dreams
You'll hear me crying right out loud
You'll know exactly what I mean
And we'll shelter from the rain
By the flowing rush of the river wild
You'll look into my eyes once again
And we'll remember why we came -

Re: Re: Texty písní - pár ukázek
Never grow so cold
The harbour lamps light up the night
Tide is on the rise
Night clouds form the NOrthern Sky
The full moon shines like gold
The fishing boats come sailing home
Hear the seagulls cry
The summer breeze upon my face
Never grow so cold
You can't hear the children cry
The heartbreak of their souls
Never feign nor walk on by
Never grow so cold
There's a woman on the shore
She walks there in the night
She has no-one with which to share
Her sorrow or her light
As she gazes out to sea
Like in days of old
She kneels and prays someone will come
Never grow so cold -
-
Re: Re: Re: Texty písní - pár ukázek
Iona
Like a bird on the wing floating free
A song to sing to carry me
Over the dark and rolling sea
To the shores of Iona
Oh mystic Isle in the silence still
The red sun setting on the hill
My own heart does sweel and fill
On the shores of Iona
As my hands reach out the touch the flame
The raven's fire does rise again
As a child I come from a a world of pain
To the shores of Iona
Come my brothers to this land
Lay yoru sword down in the sand
For you and I will understnad
On the shores of Iona

SPIRÁLA ŽIVOTŮ
Hans Matheson, skotský to rodák a anglický gentleman,
v minulém životě anglickým nešťastným králem,
v současnosti melancholickým umělcem.
Jako král chtěl si žít v poklidu,
ale žil jen v spalující bouři neklidu.
Královnu a děti své miloval,
z královské pokladny hodně bral a chudým málo rozdával.
Čekal ho za to osud potupný a neblahý,
před palácem svým byl před zraky poddaných na špalku sťatý...
V současné době znova reinkarnovaný,
štíhlý to mužík s hlubokým pohledem a očima jak blankyt,
hlasem sametovým a kůží bílou jak padlý sníh,
zažívá opět velký neklid...
Ač mnohostranný talent a stydlivý poeta,
váhá, zda pokračovat v herectví či raději zpívání,
je to pro něj obrovské životní soužení a vzdává se lehce svého snažení..
Vysnil si kdysi krásný život rodinný, místo toho má ústup ze slávy jen
a v sobě pocity marnosti a viny..
