You took me to the restaurant where we first met
You knocked a future shock crowbar upside my head
I got caught with the stop of the tick-tock, tick-tock clock
When you told me what you knew
Lost in the moment
The day that the music stopped
And I do remember you
Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of plot
Where will this lead us - I'm scared of the storm
The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born
I tried to tell you I am not afraid
You looked up and saw it all across my face
So am I with you or am I against
I don't think it's that easy - we're lost in regret
Now I'm trying to remember
The feeling when the music stopped
When you told me what you knew
Lost in the moment
The day that the music stopped
And I do remember you
Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of plot
Where does this leave us - I'm scared of the storm
The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born
Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of plot
Where does this leave us - I'm scared of the storm
The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born
The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born
The outsiders are gathering
A man walks away when every muscle says to stay
How many yesterdays - they each weigh heavy
Who says what changes may come?
Who says what we call home?
I know you see right through me, my luminescence fades
The dusk provides an antidote, I am not afraid
I've been a million times in my mind
This is really just a technicality, frailty, reality
Uh, it's time to breathe, time to believe
Let it go and run towards the sea
They don't teach that, they don't know what you mean
They don't understand, they don't know what you mean
They don't get it, I wanna scream
I wanna breathe again, I wanna dream
I wanna float a quote from Martin Luther King
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
The lyrics THE OUTSIDERS of R.E.M. is also present in the album Around the sun (2004)
R.E.M. è stata una band rock americana formatasi ad Athens, in Georgia, nel 1980. Considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti nella formazione dell'alternative rock e dell'indie, R.E.M. sono diventati uno dei gruppi rock più grandi al mondo nei primi anni '90. Inizialmente hanno attirato un seguito underground, ma la loro popolarità è poi sbocciata in un successo mainstream, passando da locali affollati a stadi sportivi e festival durante una carriera che ha attraversato tre decenni. Il gruppo era composto da Michael Stipe (voce), Peter Buck (chitarra), Mike Mills (basso) e Bill Berry (batteria). R.E.M. è nota per il suo sound caratteristico, un mix di melodie orecchiabili, testi poetici e arrangiamenti sperimentali. Alcuni dei loro brani più rappresentativi includono "Losing My Religion", "Everybody Hurts", "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" e "The One I Love". Tra i loro album più importanti ricordiamo "Automatic for the People" (1992) e "Monster" (1994).

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
