Don’t know where I am with you
Forgetting Time and Space with you
Oh, I wish we had a common view
You’ve seen my red as blue
I don’t belong in your Universe
For better or for worse…
I’m the same, but I’m bolder
You’ll get home, but I’m on my way out now…
Not the same destinations…
I will stay when you get off the train
Când cercetătorii au investigat o teorie unificată a Universului, au uitat cea mai puternică forţă nevăzută. Iubirea este Lumină, care îi luminează pe cei ce o oferă şi o primesc. Iubirea este Gravitaţie, deoarece îi face pe unii oameni să se simtă atraşi de alţii.
Iubirea e Putere, deoarece multiplică tot ce avem mai bun şi oferă umanităţii şansa de a nu pieri în propriul egoism orb.
Iubirea expune şi revelează. Pentru iubire noi trăim şi murim. Iubirea e Dumnezeu şi Dumnezeu este Iubire.”

Explosions in the Sky is an American post-rock band from Texas. The quartet originally played under the name Breaker Morant, then changed to the current name in 1999.
The band has garnered popularity beyond the post-rock scene for their elaborately developed guitar work, narratively styled instrumentals, what they refer to as “cathartic mini-symphonies,” and their enthusiastic and emotional live shows.
They primarily play with three electric guitars and a drum kit, although band member Michael James will at times exchange his electric guitar for a bass guitar. The band has later added a fifth member to their live performances. The band’s music is almost purely instrumental.
The Wilderness is Explosions In The Sky’s sixth album, and first non-soundtrack release since 2011’s Take Care, Take Care, Take Care. True to its title, The Wilderness explores the infinite unknown, utilizing several of the band’s own definitions of “space” (outer space, mental space, physical geography of space) as compositional tools. The band uses their gift for dynamics and texture in new and unique ways – rather than intuitively fill those empty spaces, they shine a light into them to illuminate all the colors of the dark.
From the electronic textures of the opening track to the ambient dissolve of closer “Landing Cliffs,” The Wilderness is an aggressively modern and forward-thinking work – one that wouldn’t seem the slightest bit out of place on a shelf between original pressings of Meddle and Obscured By Clouds.
It is an album where shoegaze, electronic experimentation, punk damaged dub, noise, and ambient folk somehow coexist without a hint of contrivance – and cohere into some of the most memorable and listenable moments of the band’s expansive body of work – “proper” studio albums and major motion picture soundtracks alike.
The progressive ambience of early Peter Gabriel, the triumphant romanticism of The Cure in their prime, and the more melancholy moments of Fleetwood Mac all inform the curious beauty of The Wilderness.
The uncanny ability to reconcile the tension between discordant, nightmarish cacophony and laid-back, Laurel Canyon-inspired folk-rock is a cornerstone of this album, and the center of Explosions In The Sky’s remarkable evolution.
If The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place was the defining album of Explosions In The Sky’s career, The Wilderness is the band’s [re]defining album.

I’ve been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman’s control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don’t see myself upon that list…
She said “Where’d you wanna go ?
How much you wanna risk ?
I’m not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss Just something I can turn to Somebody I can kiss…
I’m not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can miss…
