Night Vision and other of Kayak.

Art, I've thought it over, listened carefully to this album (Night Vision) a few more times, so now I'm absolutely sure: this is the very best song on it, and maybe one of best in the whole. Did you manage to find any albums of Kayak, by the way?

RINGS OF SATURN

When the city's fallen silent
Giving way to different dreams
About time and space before you and I were here

Noise of cars and trains subsiding
And surrounding lights grow dim
In my looking glass an image's getting clear

Every night I'm watching you
Every night I'm touching you
Investigate your soul
Completely in control

From the moon to the rings of Saturn
From the sun to the poles of Mars
Through the stormclouds that cover Venus
To the distance between the stars

I can see far beyond Orion
Measure worlds that are cold and dark
To ignore all the laws of science
Travel lightyears to your heart

In a place subject to gravity
Relativity and time
It's so easy to get lost along the way

You're my universal theory
You're my poetry, my rhyme
From the early hours till the dawning day

Every night I'm holding you
Caressing and unfolding you
But all I ever find
Is the mirror of my mind

There is, of course, Merlin -- Bard of the Unseen, and it's most exciting for me to hear one more legend about King Arthur. But they take the very common point of view, regarding Arthur himself not as a man but as a symbol, who cannot feel any emotion or make any mistakes. So he stays above all joys and woes of other characters, not having a word to say in this opera by Kayak.
I do think that he had something to say, that he may have felt even more than jealous Mordred, passionate Guinevere... permit me not to say a single word about Lancelot. I was going to write about it, but not this time, I'm afraid.
