Before My Eyes

Hey soldier, rumors gettin’ loud
hey watch out, a riot underground
You may feel confused
‘bout what you’re gonna do
is someone hurting your life?
Your enemy and you
just different uniforms
is that enough to divide?
Before my eyes
hidden facts are now defined
before my eyes
I guess I have just been blind
Hey rebel, allow yourself to doubt
Fear dogmas, don’t let them make you shout
Some men of power take
advantage of your cause
so Machiavelli returns
People rise up when
there’s nothing left to lose
what are you ready to do?
Before my eyes
hidden facts are now defined
before my eyes
I guess I have just been blind
And as the chains are broken
I can see at last
prejudice is our jail
the truth unveiled
Don’t need to be blinded
by more empty talk
another witch has been burnt
I don’t need anyone
to tell me to hate
I won’t pull the trigger today
Before my eyes
hidden facts are now defined
before my eyes
I guess I have just been blind

Not On Me
03:36

Identity, history imposed
Our current thoughts, our leaders formed
In the 12th century, we paid homage to God
drawing swords
In the last century, we used science to kill
Do not count on me
Not on me
Not on me
Not on me
Old interests made into law
Assassins marked the borders we know
The 16th century saw the rise of the West
that sacked the rest
21st century, we bomb to keep peace
No you don’t count on me
Not on me
Not on me
Not on me
I have always wondered
if all my thoughts were really mine
so, who did shape my own life?
was it me or was it
tradition and religion and seductive politicians
advertising’s omnipresence and intrusive television
Identity, history imposed
Our current thoughts, our leaders formed
End of past century, the battlefield shifts
to Wall Street
Since the beginning the powers deceived
Do not count on me
Not on me
Not on me
Not on me

Joyful Graveyard

There’s no one who remembers me
someone still cries for you
Maybe you don’t know that
we both ran on these gentle hills
me, centuries before you were born
We have been kissed by the same sun
that warm my dead bones
before they turn to dust
Graveyard
celebrating afterlife
Joyful graveyard
ghostly dancers rock the night
We’ll rise and fly like doves
we’re timeless
The moon will bless our love
These walls that you call ancient ruins
once they were my home
The mediterranean breeze
caressed me every single day
that i spent on this earth, without you
Time cannot divide us anymore
my beloved one
united by the damp ground
Graveyard
celebrating afterlife
Joyful graveyard
ghostly dancers rock the night
We’ll rise and fly like doves
we’re timeless
The moon will bless our love
will bless our love
will bless our love

Guernica

Stinking shadows
rose in Spain
from hell and heaven they came
Those were times when
the hearts of just men
joined together as one
Those were times when
a boy from Milan
left to fight the oppressors
With the loyalists
his only aim was
to regain their freedom
Venid a ver
la sangre por
las calles de Guernica
En marcha brigada
armed with a dream to die for
last mile to Huesca
Europe betrays its own values
The occupied France
was a new chance
to revive the lost hope
He became there
a maquis chief
World War II was breakin’ out
Cruel his fate
death awaits
so close to Liberation
Allons-y maquisard
scream your own pain and courage
last mile to Paris
there’ll come a day
when all of us will be free
Venid a ver
la sangre por
las calles de Guernica
En marcha brigada
armed with a dream to die for
last mile to Huesca
Europe betrays its own values

Healing The Leaders
05:21

From being to having they all changed their ways
in times of peace and welfare
Why should they care about the further step?
from having to appearing
The more they identified with made-up needs
the less they knew ‘bout, their own desires
Falling down into unconsciousness
And so came the alienation
Healing the leaders makes everything right
People of the whole world, unite!
Let’s see what happens if we shake their heads brain salad at the G8
Everything that was directly lived
is now a representation
The true is just a moment of the false
(The world has really been turned upside down)
Replies are not allowed
What appears is good, what’s good appears (produce the goods, consume the illusions)
Don’t feel at home anywhere
Healing the leaders makes everything right
Number one, I create the problem
number two, I feed your fear
number three, I control your reaction
number four, the saviour is here
Can’t feel at home anywhere
Healing the leaders makes everything right
People of the whole world, unite!
Let’s see what happens if we shake our heads
brain salad for the G8

Unlike Dolphins

Unlike dolphins
unlike horses
humans lost their guide
Unlike dolphins
unlike horses
men mislay real life
A longing for
something they already own
As you should know
the scientific board
has given judgement
The circadian clock
must be re-tuned
in order to increase
productivity
By the way
the cosmic puzzle has not been solved
perhaps some pieces can be bought?
Can’t stop
hamster wheels kept me running
for so many years
for the future we work
- but it seems - future never comes
Unlike dolphins
unlike horses
humans lost their guide
Unlike dolphins
unlike horses
men mislay real life
A longing for
something they already own
If only you
had followed
our instructions
non-standard procedures
always lead you to failures
why don’t you care about your career?
so you followed your dreams?
Ah, what an obsolete idea!
Blind faith
never doubted that someone
was holding the map
monkeys pilot the plane
now I see, progress or collapse?
Unlike dolphins
unlike horses
humans lost their guide
Unlike dolphins
unlike horses
men mislay real life
A longing for
something they already own

Comfortable

Look at yourself in the silverware
kids are ready to recite their prayers
So comfortable
never step into the danger zone
Did you dream about that man again?
isn’t it strange what you don’t regret?
So comfortable
what if sometimes life needs more spice
comfortable
your desires just cannot be confessed
Shaking the tree
of your secret needs
catchin’ the apple that falls
Don’t be ashamed
heart can’t be tamed
just fill your lungs till they burst
Start breathing for real
A tiny secret can’t hurt anyone
god forgive me for this little fun
So comfortable
put your smile on, go to a shopping mall
Doing your duty makes you look so good
no more rumours in the neighborhood
So comfortable
live your life like everyone else
comfortable
and your call for freedom stays unheard
Shaking the tree
of your secret needs
catchin’ the apple that falls
Don’t be ashamed
heart can’t be tamed
just fill your lungs till they burst
Start breathing for real
Shaking the tree
of your secret needs
catchin’ the apple that falls
Don’t be ashamed
heart can’t be tamed
just fill your lungs till they burst
Start breathing

Life Watching

Look out, adults are testing you
white gloves, life-watching from the moon
Dim star, sometimes you fall
don’t turn your dreams
into a nightmare that grows
Don’t cry dear son
someone is dancing
someone is not
you learn what it is
the way life will be
Don’t hide, fear is the greatest of lies
no plans, go for another dance
Wheels of time crumble the road
fearing the thorns
you won’t reach the rose
Don’t cry dear son
someone is dancing
someone is not
you learn what it is
the way life will be
Don’t cry dear son
someone is dancing
someone is not
you learn what it is
the way life will be
Don’t cry my dear
someone is dancing
someone is not
you learn what it is
the way life goes on
Don’t cry my son
someone is dancing
someone is not
you learn what it is
the way life will be

Progetto eclettico di otto ragazzoni che possiamo definire musicisti con la M maiuscola che uniscono la creatività del rock progressivo alla loro grande tecnica e capacità compositiva creando vere e proprie opere in cui una sezione ritmica che non perde un colpo ti prende a calci nel culo dall'inizio alla fine aprendo la strada a fiati e tastiere. La voce fa venire la pelle d'oca con la sua invidiabile estensione e poi quelle chitarre, minchia quelle chitarre, quanta perfezione!

Although the 3 guest vocalists on this album sing wonderfully, and the songs are diverse and creative, I still prefer the voice of Peter Falconer. Still, I highly recommend this album, aware that my preference is somewhat of a bias. Some of the guitar playing on here is incredible. Despite the new vocalists, the sound of this album is still distinctly Drifting Sun. Personally, I give it 7.5/10.

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world.

Roaring space rock from this London group, with every instrument turned up to 10, and all of the songs reaching stunning crescendos.

Mysterious, yet nostalgic, Isolubilia is truly an ode to the romance found in the pursuit of a mystery. Musically rich in turbulence and serenity, majesty and humbleness, this album made me feel both lonely, yet understood as an isolated individual. Perhaps we're all fellow romantics, looking up at the same night sky, trying to wring our own meaning out of the stars. I hope that pursuit never ends.
