All that we see illusory, every assumption based on blind faith alone
On with the motley, bring it home
Everything's formed from particles, all that you see is a construction of waves
Hold onto both thoughts under general relativity, the cradle connected to the grave
Luminous aether dissipates, Michelson-Morley with a point to disprove
Millikan oil drops and the cargo-cult science evaporates, improbable physics on the move
Nearer and nearer, it's clear that in interference
What happens to patterns when matter shatters
Is wantonly quantum and nature's got some surprises in store right now
All that we are illusory, every observance based on physical law
Only a fool would think us ready to face with certainty all that our future's heading for
Nearer and nearer, it's clearer, we're only here for an eyeblink, a psychic mind trick
The proofs that we use are at best projections but let's hope they'll see us through
The interference patterns help us to know the gap between a simple "yes" and a "no"
The heart-felt beat that gets us ready to go
And, as above, we'll find out what is below the interference patterns

Van der Graaf Generator è un gruppo rock progressivo inglese formatosi nel 1967. Considerati pionieri del genere, sono noti per la loro musica complessa e sperimentale, caratterizzata da influenze jazz, classiche e teatrali. Il gruppo ha raggiunto il successo negli anni '70, soprattutto in Italia, dove hanno riscosso un'enorme popolarità. Tra i membri fondatori si annoverano Peter Hammill (voce, tastiere), Hugh Banton (organo, basso), Nic Potter (batteria) e David Jackson (flauto, sassofono). Nel corso degli anni la formazione ha subito diverse variazioni, ma il nucleo centrale è sempre rimasto quello originale. Van der Graaf Generator sono stati uno dei primi gruppi ad essere firmati da Charisma Records, l'etichetta discografica fondata da Tony Stratton-Smith. Il loro stile musicale è stato influenzato da artisti come King Crimson, Genesis e Pink Floyd, ma hanno saputo distinguersi per la loro originalità e il loro approccio sperimentale. Tra i brani più rappresentativi del gruppo si ricordano "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers", "Killer on the Road" e "Megalomania". Nel 2005 il gruppo ha intrapreso un tour di reunion che continua ancora oggi, dimostrando la loro capacità di rimanere attivi e coinvolgere il pubblico con la loro musica.

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
