My favorite song

My favorite song takes the name of "I'm sorry", which appeared in Recreation Day album. This is the fourth released by the incredible and excellent swedish progressive/power metal band Evergrey. I guess you can say Evergrey it's not a popular band in the top music business, but that's not a reason to believe they are an awfull band. All you need to do is listen this song and you'll see what I mean. The intensity of Tom Englund in the vocal and the technique of the other members adds to this band a unique sensation when you listen to them.

About the song, it comes to be a part of the whole context of the disc, reffered to the idea of personal reformation. This song talks about the mourners after a funeral. Here are the lyrics:

I painted a picture of you,

your soul was red and your mind was blue.

Destiny laid a light on my creation.

This dream I had made a slave of my passion,

reality was always too far away.

And we were happy until it came too close one day.

Suddenly I faced the truth of my dream,

my love had only been a picture, a scene.

I suppose I needed to believe,

didn't want to see you had never been close to me.

But I'm sorry,

This illusion has caused you a lot of pain.

And I have no solution,

I'll try to never be back again.

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I painted a picture of you.

My dream was a lie and the lie became truth.

Reality held his breath too long.

It's disgusting what dreams can do.

But I'm sorry,

this illusion has caused you a lot of pain.

And I have no solution,

I'll try to never be back again.

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

This song has a personal meaning: it was dedicated to a girl who's dead to me, although she never knew, and probably never will.

Farewell
