In a painful hurting fall to which I can’t react at all from day to day losing my strenght of fighting against bad thoughts and fears. From day to day away from this heart which throbs ever faster scared by own weakness. Scared by myself, scared by the others scared by my mind and by my hurting arms, feeling the weather like a beautiful willow bended by a sudden wind blowing in spring. Oh, bending, not breaking, keeping on dreaming in a sort of enchantment in which I keep living, I want to fly high and get close to my wishes. Touch them with hands vibrating with life I’m flying in the wind like a Mad Fallen Leaf Then slowly I land and find some rest on a flower. It was blooming, then grew and now it’s starting to fade.“ Questo nuova versione è dedicata a tutte le persone che soffrono di depressione e di attacchi di panico. In questo tempo di COVID-19 è importante continuare a sognare e non perdere la fede. La depressioni e gli attacchi di panico stanno crescendo tra la gente giorno per giorno ed è essenziale sensibilizzare tutti sull’argomento. Non vergognatevi e condividete le vostre debolezze, non siete soli! Grazie mille a Ian Anderson per la sua disponibilità e per la sua sensibilità.
