Rising and falling lighter than air
Silently calling no one is there
Oh, bird that is flying so high and
so free
Closer to heaven than you and me
Voices of strangers keep me from
sleep
Guardian angels watch over the
deep
A ship that is sailing way out to
the sea
Closer to heaven than you and me
Visions of rain fall out of blue
skies
Rivers of tears flow out of dry
eyes
Answer my question tell me no
lies
Is this the real world or a fool's
paradise?
Wind that is blowing so wild and
so free
Closer to heaven than you and me
Closer to heaven longing to be
Closer to heaven than you and me
Visions of rain fall out of blue
skies
Rivers of tears flow out of dry
eyes
Answer my question tell me no
lies
Is this the real world or a fool's
paradise?
Love that lies sleeping wakes in
the night
Secrets for keeping that won't
see the light
I look to the future and I hope it
will be
Closer to heaven than you and me
Closer to heaven longing to be
Closer to heaven than you and me
The lyrics CLOSER TO HEAVEN of THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT is also present in the album Gaudi (1987)
Il The Alan Parsons Project è un gruppo musicale britannico formatosi a Londra nel 1974 da Alan Parsons, ingegnere del suono di fama internazionale, e Eric Woolfson, compositore e manager. L'idea era quella di creare un progetto musicale innovativo che combinasse elementi progressivi, rock e musica classica, con l'orchestra come elemento centrale. La formazione vedeva la partecipazione di musicisti di sessione e cantanti ospiti, tra cui Lenny Zakatek, David Paton, Chris Rainbow e Colin Blunstone. Woolfson si occupava principalmente della composizione dei brani vocali, mentre Parsons si dedicava alla produzione e a composizioni strumentali. Tra i loro album più noti figurano *Tales of Mystery and Imagination* (1976), ispirato alle opere di Edgar Allan Poe, *Pyramid* (1975) e *Eye in the Sky* (1977). Il gruppo ha raggiunto il successo internazionale negli anni '70 e '80 con brani come "Sirius", "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You" e "Time Away". Dopo la fine del progetto nel 1982, Parsons e Woolfson hanno continuato a lavorare in modo indipendente. Woolfson è morto nel 2009.

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.
