Reviews:
The concept album is to me a song about the world and how it’s going on, about the things and how we would like them to be and about the things how they really are.
Dreams of a perfect world, dreams of the world how it could be if only the people could figure out what they really want and how they could make their dreams come true.
But reality is different - so many hopes and wishes don’t come true.
Life is different – we want so many things, but even if they are right and good things, what we do does not turn out right and good – our aims sliding through our fingers.
People try to do the best they are able to – but it often turns out wrong and bad
You can’t guarantee that other people understand the things you do and recognize your aims as good, even if they are.
What about the world?
How will it go on, if too many people don’t understand that it is possible to live together in peace, taking care of themselves, their neighbours, children, foreigners and the earth? (C.B.)
