Dreams of Sanity - Opera - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

The album "Masquerade" is conceptual and based on Gaston Leroux's book "The Ghost of the Opera", but not without attention to the famous musical Andrew Lloyd Webber of the same name.

The episode with a masquerade in the book itself takes up little space, but in one of the paragraphs this action becomes a metaphor of life:

“No one could hear a real Parisian, not having learned to put a mask of fun on his sorrows and a mask of despondency, boredom and indifference to his inner joys. If you know that one of your friends has grief, do not try to console him: he will say that things are already recovering. If luck visited him, do not congratulate him: he will only be surprised that someone remembered this. Parisians always feel like a masquerade ... "

(Gaston Leroux, Phantom of the Opera, chap. 3)

In the musical reading of Dreams of Sanity, the story of the main characters is pushed into the background, and the main attention is focused on the sensations and internal experiences of Eric, the ghost of the opera, as an involuntary permanent participant in the masquerade, forced to always wear his mask.

"Come on! Close your eyes and close your mind,

And sing with me - sing tonight! "
