From Vangelis "Heaven And Hell"
"So Long Ago, So Clear" vocals by Jon Anderson
Once, we did run
How we chased a million stars
And touched as only one can
Once, we did play
How the past delivered you
Amidst our youth we'd dream away, away
As if I knew the words I'm sure you'll hear
Of how we met as you recall so clear
Once, we did love
Long ago how did I forget
Holding you so closely
Look, how I move
Chance would have me glance at you
To know how you move me, me
Oh barriers fall around us as we hear
Of memories known and met so long ago, so clear
(interlude)
Once, we did run
How we chased a million stars
And touched as only one can
Vangelis, stage name of Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou (1943-2022), was a Greek composer and multi-instrumentalist considered one of the pioneers of electronic music. Born in Athens, Vangelis began his musical career in the 1960s as a member of the progressive rock group Aphrodite's Child, achieving international success with the album "666" (1972). After the band's dissolution, Vangelis embarked on a highly successful solo career, composing soundtracks for films such as "Chariots of Fire" (1981), for which he won an Oscar, and "Blade Runner" (1982). His music is characterized by epic atmospheres, memorable melodies, and the innovative use of synthesizers. Among his most important albums are "Heaven and Hell" (1975), "Opera Sauvage" (1979) and "Direct" (1980). Vangelis collaborated with numerous artists, including Jon Anderson of Yes and the Italian singer Alice.

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
