In the West Atlantic, beyond the
Windward Chain
A living coral island where we can start again
A world gone mad, on the last plane out we flew
There's no one with whom l'd rather brave the storm than you
You're my heart, you're my home
(You'll never have to go it alone)
Is this a paradise or a prison
Approaching ships now I espy
Danger or solution
We hope, we pray
(Day to day)
Never knowing where this crazy world's going
I can pick up the pieces so long as you're right beside me
Here with me
United at risk, divided we must stand
This is the current state of the world we're living in
Unfettered by fear, empowered by the science
Let us learn to be the wiser by this time next year
You're my heart, you're my home
(You'll never have to go it alone)
Is this a paradise or a prison
Approaching ships now I espy
We hope, we pray
Never knowing where this crazy world's going
Just you and me beneath the living island sun
Watching from our hill top the whole world come undone
And the voice of the Mother so loud, so clear
Rebirth, now
Earth rebirth, now!
Are we yet waking up from the nightmare
Are we yet waking up from the nightmare
(How we're ever so shaken up by the nightmare)
A nightmare of fools that pull the levers when the curtain's drawn
And play us as their pawn
Their fear and greed
Undermining every countermeasure
Nation to nation
We're in this together, though together apart in isolation
So here's to you
To the spirit of community
Here'sto us
To our humanity
Here's to the frontline saviors
And the every day heroes unseen
To you with sad spirits
Who mourn dear ones now gone
To their memories
We dedicate this song
And the time will certainly come
Their courageous stories shall be told
As deeply we hold
Hold them in the highest honor
We will remember!
Yes, each courageous story will be told
As deeply we hold
Hold them in the highest honor
In our hearts love
Forevermore

Yes è un gruppo musicale britannico formatosi a Londra nel 1968. Considerati uno dei pilastri del rock progressivo, hanno raggiunto fama internazionale negli anni '70 con album come *Fragile*, *Close to the Edge* e *Going for the One*. Il loro sound si caratterizza per la complessità musicale, l'uso di strumenti orchestrali, le melodie avvolgenti e i testi spesso filosofici. Tra i membri fondatori figuravano Jon Anderson (voce), Chris Squire (basso), Peter Banks (chitarra) e Bill Bruford (batteria). Nel corso degli anni, la formazione ha subito diverse variazioni, con l'ingresso di musicisti come Steve Howe (chitarra), Rick Wakeman (tastiere) e Alan White (batteria). Yes hanno venduto oltre 30 milioni di dischi in tutto il mondo e sono stati inseriti nella Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nel 2017. Alcuni dei loro brani più rappresentativi includono *Roundabout*, *Owner of a Lonely Heart* e *Starship Trooper*.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
