With an eye pressed to the spyglass
(Counting constellations)
On the shores of distant oceans
Charting undiscovered lands
The collectors and observers
Curators and explorers
Reflectors of light
Dare to be wise
Think for yourself
(To see much further)
Go build a steam driven machine
Or a rocket to the moon
Dig the earth for ancient rocks
(Look back in time)
Tell the story from the start
The story of us
How did this all come to pass?
Merchants of light
Such wonders here with our fantastic things
The curiosity of man
Finding form and shape and truth
Back from an age of reason
Reaching out across the land
From the centuries of light
To leaden skies and distant thunder
Meet me at the mead hall in winter
(Set the world to right)
With songs, science, and stories
(Pull back the fading light)
Artists and dreamers and thinkers
(Right here by your side)
Finding truth in those traveler's tales
(On this brief flight life)
Bring one of your engines and designs
Your medicines and poetry
Meet me at the mead hall in winter
(Set the world to light)
With songs, science, and stories
(Pull back the fading light)
Artists and dreamers and thinkers
(Right here by your side)
Reaching for the far skies
And the undiscovered depths
Following the dream of the West
Here, in science and art
And beauty and music
And friendship and love
You will find us
The best of what we are
The poets and painters
And writers and dreamers
Meet me at the mead hall in winter
(Set the world to light)
With songs, and science, and stories
(Pull back the fading light)
Artists and dreamers and thinkers
(Right here by your side)
Reaching for the far skies
And the undiscovered depths
Following the dream of the West
Richardo Tandy (ELO) klaviatūrų paletė buvo svarbi grupės garso sudedamoji dalis, ypač albumuose „A New World Record“, „Out of the Blue“, „Discovery“ ir „Time“.
Tai 10 balų sistema daug universalesnė nei 5. Be to, jau dabar aktyvumas yra mažokas, grįžus prie penkiabalės sistemos bus labai daug dainų, kurios gauna nulį. Iškritimas bus randomizuotas, o ne žmonių apspręstas.
Tai, kad tamsta nerandi už ką balsuot, dar nėra argumentas daryti visiems taikomas balsavimo taisykles. Be to, juk žinai, jog nebūtina balsuot už viską, gali duot 10, 9, 8, 7 ir 6, likusių penkių balų nebūtina paskirti.
Jau kuris laikas nebebalsuoju LT top 30, nes negaliu išrinkti 10 variantų, o balsuoti už beleką nenoriu. Lietuviai nesukuria tiek gerų dainų, o jei ir sukuria tai čia nepatenka. Siūlau mažinti iki 5 pasirinkimų
