"8:49 this morning
The dew of morning still glistens on the salt grass that grows along the foundation of the old lighthouse. I isn't in active service anymore, but has been renovated to serve as a private dwelling.
High in the tower inside, a young man is slumped on the floor in the corner of the room, apparently in some kind of trance. Somebody has put a blanked over him. He is deadly pale, but the steady, almost imperceptible rise and fall of his chest shows that he still clings to life. Standing next to him are young woman and an older man. Both are obviously shocked and distressed.
Their frequent glances toward the door give the impression that they're waiting for someone who is yet to arrive. On the wall next to them is a blackboard covered with impenetrable mathematical equations. The older man is holding a crumpled piece of paper - it appears to be a note scribbled in haste by an unsteady hand. What follows here is the story of what happened."
[Teacher:]
Will we ever understand
This complex genius
This visionary thinker
Will we ever get this close again
Uniting the forces
Of our universe
[Girl:]
Will we ever understand
His isolation
Or his sense of wonder
We will never get this close againIt's been too long?
I think he's gone
The lyrics PROLOGUE: THE BLACKBOARD of AYREON is also present in the album The theory of everything (2013)
Ayreon è un progetto musicale progressive rock fondato nel 1995 dall'olandese Arjen Anthony Lucassen. Lucassen, compositore e polistrumentista di talento, ha concepito Ayreon come un concept album narrativo in cui diverse voci cantano i ruoli di personaggi immaginari all'interno di una storia fantascientifica complessa. Il primo album, "The Final Experiment", uscì nel 1998 e segnò l'inizio di un percorso musicale unico che ha visto la partecipazione di numerosi artisti ospiti provenienti da tutto il mondo. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di Ayreon si ricordano "The Day the World Stops Turning" e "Starseed", entrambi tratti dall'album "Universal Migrator Part 1: The Journey". Altri album importanti includono "01011001", "The Theory of Everything" e "Transitus", che hanno consolidato la posizione di Ayreon come progetto musicale innovativo e apprezzato dalla critica. Lucassen, con la sua abilità nel creare mondi musicali complessi e coinvolgenti, ha contribuito a definire il genere progressive rock contemporaneo.

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
