Long ago, far away
Life was clear
Close your eyes
Remember is a place from long ago
Remember filled with everything you know
Remember when you're sad and feelin' down
Remember turn around
Remember life is just a memory
Remember close your eyes and you can see
Remember think of all that life can be
Remember--
Dream love is only in a dream
Remember--
Remember life is never as it seems
Dream--
Dream love is only in a dream
Remember--
Remember life is never as it seems
Dream--
Long ago, far away
Life was clear
Close your eyes--
Harry Nilsson, all'anagrafe Harry Edward Nilsson III (15 giugno 1941 – 15 gennaio 1994), è stato un cantautore e musicista statunitense noto per il suo stile vocale unico e le sue canzoni ironiche e stravaganti. Attivo principalmente negli anni sessanta e settanta, Nilsson ha raggiunto la fama internazionale con album come "Nilsson Schmilsson" (1971) e "Pussy Cats" (1974). Tra i suoi brani più celebri figurano "Without a Song", "Coconut", e "Jump into the Fire". Conosciuto per il suo talento compositivo e la sua personalità eccentrica, Nilsson ha collaborato con artisti come John Lennon, Ringo Starr e Keith Moon. La sua musica è stata influenzata da diverse fonti, tra cui il rock 'n' roll, il pop e la musica folk.

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
