Schwedens AVATAR zeigen eine weitgehend unbekannte Seite, mit ihrer am Piano und mit Streichinstrumenten gespielten Version von `Tower`. Die Originalversion des Tracks findet sich auf der Deluxe Edition von “Hail The Apocalypse“, das in diesem Jahr zehn Jahre alt wird.
AVATAR schreiben:
“This version of Tower became a special moment in a very special period of our lives. It feels natural to use it as a way to stop and look back for just a moment before we move forward with full force. It’s a thank you to everyone who stands by our side and makes the magic happen.“
Für 2025 planen die “Freaks” ihr nächstes Album. Im Sommer werden zu als Support von IRON MAIDEN bei der „Run For Your Lives“ Tour dabei sein.

Lyrics:
You look like you need a friend
Let me in and we’ll pretend
Light some candles, do not cry
I’ll sing you a lullaby
You’ve lost your key and cannot leave
I’ll play with you and make believe
I’ll keep you safe with all my power
I will build you a tower
In every stone I’ll carve your name
Nothing will be quite the same
Laughter at the midnight hour
In our own little tower
Ashes paint our bedroom gray
These shall be our finest days
As I pledge, my precious flower
Keep you safe in a tower
Stay inside and dream of towers
Wake up all alone
Welcome home
All alone you count the hours
Right where you belong
Welcome home
Don’t be scared, you won’t be hurt
I promise that I’ll keep my word
Just behave and we can play
Just do everything I say
Do not speak and do not think
I will give you everything
Everything within my power
I will bring to your tower
Stay inside and dream of towers
Wake up all alone
Welcome home
All alone you count the hours
Right where you belong
Welcome home
See your home on the horizon
What you were will fade away
Every day of every season
Is devoured by the gray
Stay inside and dream of towers
Wake up all alone
Welcome home
All alone you count the hours
Right where you belong
Welcome home
