Mindfields es un álbum de Toto, publicado en 1999 por Columbia. El disco incluye 14 canciones, entre ellas «Cruel», «Caught in the Balance», «After You've Gone» y «Mysterious Ways».

Sobre el álbum

El álbum Mindfields supuso el esperado regreso del vocalista original, Bobby Kimball, después de más de quince años de ausencia. El disco fue recibido con gran expectación por los fans, que anhelaban volver a escuchar la formación clásica. El resultado es un álbum extenso y ambicioso que busca recuperar la magia de sus primeros trabajos, fusionando rock progresivo, pop y hard rock melódico.

El disco contiene una gran variedad de estilos. Temas como "Cruel" o "Caught in the Balance" recuerdan al sonido de "Toto IV". La banda sigue explorando su lado más complejo en canciones como "Better World". La potente voz de Kimball se encuentra en plena forma, aportando la energía que lo caracterizó en sus inicios.

Pese a su calidad, la extensa duración del álbum (más de 70 minutos) hace que sea un poco irregular en algunos momentos. No obstante, "Mindfields" fue un regreso bienvenido que demostró que la química entre los miembros originales seguía viva. La historia de Toto parecía cerrar un círculo con este reencuentro.

  1. Cruel5:57

    Letra

    What you've got You had to steal That's the reason For how you feel Considering what You've done so far I'm rather amazed At where you are Lift your head up babe Pull yourself together Nothing's worse than dying slow There's no reason darling Reason whatsoever That we can't end this game of touch and go It's such a cruel world When you have to think twice, And you're caught up in this roundabout It's such a cruel world When your back's against the wall And there's no way out You're not giving it up, But you're giving it out Seems to me, You got a little too much doubt Augmentation, Is what you need Your generosity Looks alot like greed You might call me crazy If you don't understand it There's no way for you to know You say love is hazy, And you don't demand it Can't we end this game of touch and go It's such a cruel world When nothing goes right And the plans you made Start falling 'round you It's such a cruel world Well, just throw me the rope babe And pull me out You've got that kind of love It flows like a fountain But sometimes love can be unkind My kind of love you know It's higher than a mountain But love can be so hard to find Lift your head up babe Pull yourself together Nothing's worse than dying slow There's no reason, darling Reason whatsoever That we can't end this game of touch and go It's such a cruel world When you have to think twice And you're caught up in this roundabout It's such a cruel world When your back's against the wall and there's no way out It's such a cruel world It's such a cruel world out there baby It's such a cruel world It's such a cruel cruel world and there's no way out What love Get you right Wanna get you right Oh I - I see darkness in your future babe Oh I - It's a tunnel black as night Oh I - See a rich man with his hand out babe Oh I - Know a seer with no sight Oh I - Watch fire burn those bridges babe Oh I - Feel wrong turn into right Oh I - Yeah Oh I - Do you understand me babe Oh I - Ooh
  2. Caught in the Balance6:21

    Letra

    What happened to me It seems so long ago The cuts run deep But the scars still show I live in the shadows Where it's been so hard to grow I'm still a servant in a nobleman's robes You know my weakness girl You know my kind You helped me see when I was blind [Chorus:] It's a crime to live my life without you Serve out my years in darkness Inside these walls I'd die without you And when I close my eyes I'm caught in the balance Afraid of the hurricane I hide in my domain I need release from all this pain Please don't forsake me In these ruins I call home I can't wait forever Don't leave me alone I have a secret if you wanna learn I will surrender in return [Chorus] [Instrumental break] You know my weakness girl You know my kind You helped me see when I was blind [Repeat chorus two times]
  3. After You've Gone6:37
  4. Mysterious Ways3:42

    Letra

    I must have aged twenty years in the last seven days Living on emotion, disbelieve and rage I found out the hard way life is what you make Sometimes you gotta learn to give yourself a break You can go where you wanna go You can know who you want to know Take a good look inside you'll see You can have it all If you just believe Time moves in mysterious ways You're dancing to the music while the music plays Accelerates and then delays Time moves in mysterious ways [Chorus:] Accidents can happen and they always do It only takes a twist of fate to turn on you I was in the wrong place at just right time I thought she was a lover not a friend of mine You can do who you wanna do You can screw who you want to screw In the end it's the fantasy But not reality That will set you free [Chorus] Once it's inside of me It's like a symphony On a cloud and I can't come down It's like a dream then you come around [Instrumental break] You can go where you wanna go You can know who you want to know Take a good look inside you'll see You can have it all if you just believe [Chorus] Time moves in mysterious ways You're dancing to the music while the music plays Accelerates and then delays Time moves in mysterious Time moves in mysterious Time moves in mysterious ways
  5. Last Love4:58

    Letra

    What would you say If I asked you to stay with me forever But forever's in too soon The touch of your hand And the look in your eyes Are the only things I know I know that are true We only have this life To forgive and then forget But the only thing that matters Is we have no regrets [Chorus:] There's nothing I wouldn't do for you There's nothing I wouldn't give to you I know that you know it's true Oh can't you see You're the last love for me Time passes fast And the hours go quickly But the fire inside our hearts It never dies The sound of your voice And the way that it moves me in a special way I can't describe Please take my hand And we'll walk the endless road No one has to lead us 'Cause we know which way to go [Chorus] And if I ever really hurt you How sorry I would be There's something I've been trying to tell you Darling it's time you know You'll always be a part of me [Instrumental break] Please take my hand And we'll walk the endless road No one has to lead us 'Cause we know which way to go [Chorus] I know that you know it's true Oh can't you see It's meant to be You're the last love for me
  6. Mindfields6:04

    Letra

    There's a rumour of a midnight man So silent in disguise And every time he looks your way You can see it in his eyes Like a window to the storm He just invades your paradise Don't you buy what he is selling It's just lies When he says: "These hearts are willing" The story goes: That these dreams are free Only takes a moment But you must acclimatize Don't you buy what he is selling it's just lies Over your left shoulder I have seen the angry beast Heard the war horn screaming, as they gather for the feast Seen a star-crossed angel with the death-card and a shield [Chorus:] We're walking through mindfields You see an angel as she takes you by the hand We're walking through mindfields Her lips are moving like she's praying We're walking through mindfields She speaks so softly and you want to understand What she's saying There's a stairway leading to the sun I walk it in my sleep And a ship of fools above the sky Who've gotten into deep With a doorway into nowhere And the path is way too steep Don't loose your angry soul It's yours to keep Where it ends It's the beginning And it stays Right to the end The reason is unclear my friend It almost makes me weep So don't loose your angry soul It's yours to keep Over your left shoulder I have seen the angry beast Heard the war horn screaming, as they gather for the feast Seen a star-crossed angel with the death-card and a shield [Chorus] [Instrumental break] Over your left shoulder I have seen the angry beast Heard the war horn screaming, as they gather for the feast Seen a star-crossed angel with the death-card and a shield [Repeat chorus two times]
  7. Selfish5:30

    Letra

    Ashes to ashes That's how it ends You go from heartache to heartache As you make amends Just bigger and bigger You take two steps back You want something from nothing And you're so exact You think you're a rich man Now you misbehave You're not a free man running Just a comfortable slave [Chorus:] So selfish You got more than you can use But you still don't see You're so selfish And you're running out of room Deeper and deeper As you forge ahead You go higher and higher But you've been mislead Harder and harder You grind the stone Faster faster faster Till you're skin and bones Too much ambition Without relief You know that ain't heaven But it's what you teach [Chorus] [Instrumental break] Who's got the answer Give me the cure Don't rush to judgement Until you're sure [Repeat chorus two times]
  8. No Love4:34

    Letra

    At the end of my life When it's time to depart Will the last face I see be yours When I take my last breath And I drift through the dark Will I look 'round and still feel secure It's no sacrifice to stay by your side Till hell freezes clear to the core Whatever the price No matter how high Over your shoulder When you turn around I'll be tellin' you [Chorus:] No love will ever be stronger No love not anywhere, no no No love will ever last longer If I can't have your love, I don't want no love at all I'll put my change on the dresser Next to your scarf Cook my heart in the skillet next to yours Ten thousand tears lead up to now You are the treasure for sure Lines on my face they get deeper each day But the feelings are ageless and smooth One single trace of doubt still remains Over my shoulder, when I turn around, Will you be tellin' me [Chorus] [Instrumental break] It's no sacrifice to stay by your side Till hell freezes clear to the core Whatever the price No matter how high Over your shoulder When you turn around I'll be telling you [Repeat chorus two times]
  9. High Price of Hate9:22

    Letra

    You got the eyes of a vulture As you gaze from your meaningless throne And the pain that you've been selling I'd rather die before I own I'll call you a doctor Or find you a priest 'Cause no one can save you And you won't get no peace I've felt your displeasure And girl I used to relate So don't hand me no anger I'll be crushed by the weight That's the high price of hate That's the high price of hate Little Girl Lord what's the cost of my fate She'll lay you wide open Like a surgical knife I've watched it take over What's left of your miserable life She'll live on deception Your pleasures long dead Your soul is left bleeding From the lies that you spread Don't pull on my collar I won't rise to debate Don't ask me for comfort You're a lifetime too late That's the high price of hate That's the high price of hate Lord what's the cost of my fate There's a storm overhead Will it ever end baby It's all inside your head Is it gonna end That's the high price of hate That's the high price of hate Yeah, I hope I ain't asking too late That's the high price of hate That's the high price of hate
  10. Mad About You4:24

    Letra

    There's something I must say Something I must do I planned it all this way Designed it just for you Do you wanna be with me Be with me at all? Do you have to be so cool Your gentle touch manoeuvered me But all the time I always knew [Chorus:] I'm really mad about you There's nothing bad about our love I'm giving you the only heart I have But I'm afraid tonight it won't be enough Can we go on this way? There's nothing left to proof It's not another game Or another simple move Do you believe in me Believe in me at all? Are you telling me the truth? Or is it just imagination or the perfect dream That I'm here with you [Chorus] [Instrumental break] Do you wanna be with me Be with me at all? Do you have to be so cool Your gentle touch manoeuvered me But all the time I always knew I'm really mad about you There's nothing bad about our love I'm giving you the only heart I have But I'm afraid tonight it won't be enough I'm really mad about you There's nothing bad about our love I never had a broken heart before But I know you'll never tear Tear mine apart
  11. Melanie5:19

    Letra

    Watching Driving through the night I'm all alone Empty Endless road A thousand miles to go Midnight Five million thoughts Passing in a row Will you Still be waiting there? God only knows I can still see your face in my mind With every turn I take And the wind through my heart feels so cold As it calls out your name [Chorus:] Melanie Nothing but the touch of your hand can rescue me Melanie Reach inside this emptiness and you will set me free Morning Sun's in my eyes I'm tied to your soul One chance One solitary life How could I let you go? Got a phonecall or was it a dream A voice spoke to me I could swear it was you that I heard Crying desperately [Chorus] [Instrumental break] I can still see your face in my mind With every turn I take And the wind through my heart feels so cold As it calls out your name [Repeat chorus two times]
  12. One Road3:45

    Letra

    Time Is the enemy of a young man's dreams And I'm stranded In the heartland, or so it seems I'm hitching a ride for a chance at the good life I'll have my own place out on fifth avenue I'm leaving this time gonna walk on that fine line I'll be the first one who finally breaks through One road to the promised land I have to get there any way I can One road to the promised land I'm gonna find out just who I am Freedom Do you know what I mean Flat lands Are all I've ever seen Stuck in a small town where you live, then you die Ain't nothing but fool's working nine until five I'll sleep in the subways 'till I get what I need I'm not gonna stay here, just lie here and bleed One road to the promised land I'm gonna get there any way I can One road to the promised land Show the world just who I am [Instrumental break] One road to the promised land I'm gonna get there any way - any way I can One road to the promised land I have to find out just who I am One road to the promised land I thought by now I'd be a different man One road to the promised land Maybe I'll find out just who I am
