LYRICS
I once had a dream and it never came true
I once had a dream and it never came true
In his arms I´d find that island
Where summers are long and lazy and full of songs
Where winters are spent by the fireplace, with a fat cat on our lap
Eating chestnuts and sharing a blanket

I once had a dream and it never came true
I once had a dream and it never came true
Our island would float in the middle of the ocean
And no pain nor fear could ever reach us
From time to time we´d climb the hills
Through thick forests and steep cliffs
And from the top, we would gaze at the horizon

The sunrise, the sunset
And whales playing in between
Their tales waving goodbye as they´d dive
Their heads saying hello as they´d rise from the deep

He´d turn to me and without words
Just with a blink of an eye
He´d reassure me
That everything´s in order
No enemy, no harm, no trouble along our border

I once had a dream and it never came true
I once had a dream but it never came true
I found out the day
I found out the day that I met you.

There is an undeniable bittersweet presence in all of Evripidis Sabatis (Evripidis and His Tragedies) songs but Island may be the song that expresses it best out of his whole repertoire. The track, chosen to open his third release Futile Games In Space And Time, insists on the desire to escape with his lover to an imaginary island, a place where problems do not exist. An island that represents everything their love won’t ever be: ordinary. That dreams fades throughout the song, as all the things that will never come to be, just for pursuing another dream: being forever with his lover.

On the music video, shot by long time collaborator Jordi Estrada, a troubled trio appears through the city debris. A relationship that will swallow the weak, an addiction that will burn his veins until it produces physical hurt. A dark ode to youth and the things left behind, or beneath, to fulfill that dream. Just for wanting to have enough time to build their own island together.
