Late last night I got an S. O. S.
The fairy tale girl's in deep in distress
She says I don't know where I am
But it's near Japan
My engine's all burned out
My crew has all bailed out
I don't know where I am
But it's somewhere near Japan
And she said
Rescue me
I'm somewhere in the
China Sea
I think I'm sinkin' fast
This call is probably my last
I'm throwin' out a life line
And I'm doin' it for old time's sake
Though I know you're gonna break my heart
One more time
Late last night I got an S. O. S.
The fairy tale girl's in deep in distress
She says I don't know where I am
But it's near Japan
My engine's all burned out
My crew has all bailed out
I don't know where I am
But it's somewhere near Japan
And she said thank you dear
I think she sounded quite sincere
And when she turned to go
She said I crave adventure don't you know
And now she's driftin' on some Chinese junk
Her world is spinning and her hope has sunk
So I close my eyes
And somewhere near Japan
The spinning stopped and the world stood still
I broke her fall and I always will
Strung out in no man's land
Somewhere near Japan
Rescue me

I Beach Boys sono un gruppo musicale statunitense formatosi nel 1961 a Hawthorne, in California. Considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti della storia della musica pop, hanno raggiunto il successo mondiale negli anni '60 con canzoni come "Surfin' U.S.A.", "Good Vibrations" e "Wouldn't It Be Nice". Il gruppo è stato fondato dai fratelli Brian, Carl e Dennis Wilson, insieme a Mike Love e Al Jardine. Brian Wilson, considerato un genio della musica pop, ha composto la maggior parte dei successi del gruppo, caratterizzati da arrangiamenti complessi e melodie orecchiabili. I Beach Boys hanno venduto oltre 100 milioni di dischi in tutto il mondo e sono entrati nella Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nel 1998. Il loro stile musicale, che mescolava surf rock, pop e doo-wop, ha influenzato generazioni di musicisti.

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
