[English version below]
Terminamos la serie experimental con otro de mis grupos refugio. Broken Iris es una banda de rock que Adam Roth formó originalmente en 2005 en Sacramento, California, Estados Unidos. Su poderosa voz está respaldada por un violonchelo en vivo (Alex Ashton), un teclado (David Christensen), una guitarra (Danny Cocke), un bajo (Steve Avery) y una batería (Chris Brawley), que se combinan para crear un sonido oscuro, aunque con gran intensidad lírica. El género principal de la banda es el rock ambiental.
The Eyes of Tomorrow es una de las canciones del álbum homónimo, otro de los que merece la pena escuchar de principio a fin. Trata sobre la salud mental y, en mi opinión, la letra tiene una capacidad de remover increíble, por no hablar de los instrumentos de fondo. Es difícil expresar con palabras lo que este grupo me hace sentir, así que no voy a intentarlo. Si os ha gustado, podéis escuchar A New Hope o Colorful Mind.
Por acabar con un dato curioso e irrelevante, el orden en el que yo he escuchado siempre este disco no coincide con el que parece ser el original, y se me hace bastante raro el cambio.

We wrap up the experimental series with another of my shelter music groups. Broken Iris is a rock band that originally formed in 2005 in Sacramento, California, United States, lead by Adam Roth. His powerful vocals are backed by a live cello (Alex Ashton), keyboard (David Christensen), guitar (Danny Cocke) bass (Steve Avery) and drums (Chris Brawley), blending together to create a sound that is both dark in tone, yet lyrically powerful. The band's main genre is ambient rock.
The Eyes of Tomorrow is one of the songs on the album of the same name, another one worth listening to from start to finish. It's about mental health and, in my opinion, the lyrics have an incredible capacity to stir, not to mention the background instruments. It's hard to put into words how this group makes me feel, so I'm not going to try. If you liked it, you can listen to A New Hope or Colorful Mind.
To end with a curious and irrelevant fact, the order in which I have always listened to this album does not coincide with what seems to be the original, and the change seems quite odd to me.

Lyrics/Letra:
In this little white room of mine
There I go, on my own
In this redefined world inside
So why do you take this, conquer and dismay this
Peaceful sanity of mine?
You're attempting to bore me
Shatter and destroy me
It's worthless and fuels my gain
Maybe we're all insane?
There you stand, ignorantly
Just a monotone pallet, you see
If there was a color created for me
It'd consist in shades of three
I see you enjoy this, while I exploit this
Brief insanity of mine
Perceive and understand you
Is far more than I can do
Perceptions left far behind
Maybe we're all insane
The way that we live
Reminiscing for the head game
What if we're all insane
I'm feeling so damn hollow
Staring into the eyes of tomorrow
Coming around again
I'm feeling much better, my friend
The doctor says "I'm sorry, you must attend
To your little white room again"
To my little white room
Maybe we're all insane
The way that we live
Reminiscing over head games
What if we're all insane
I'm feeling so damn hollow
Staring into the eyes of tomorrow
