THE GREAT JOURNEY

The journey takes place in the mind,
in the memory, it is the imaginary rout
on which we set out, rocked by the lulling music
we hear hidden under our beds. The protagonist
of this album will sail seas, cross countries at war,
rescue animals in danger… and return home
a hero.

As a metaphor of life, the journey takes us
to discover the world and take part in difficult
circumstances, but the nature of the journey itself
is the imagination.
