Initially under Ola Andersson on guitars, Tomas Erlandsson on drums, Jens Appelgren on vocals and Jerry Sahlin on both keyboards and drums, Fairyland was started by members of a music school in Malmö. Amongst various line-up changes, Fairlyland changed its name into A.C.T in 1995. In 1996 A.C.T first came into the public eye when it made its way to the final of a Swedish music competition, although it did not win.
In 1997 a new demo was recorded and the band toured extensively in Sweden, eventually recording its debut album, ‘Today’s Report’, released in 1999. Following the release of this album, A.C.T embarked on a Scandinavian tour with the progressive rock band Saga. In 2001, the second album ‘Imaginary Friends’ was recorded, after which the band went on a European tour supporting Fish. In 2003, A.C.T’s third album ‘Last Epic’ was released, and the band went on a European tour with former Genesis singer Ray Wilson.
In 2006, A.C.T signed with the label InsideOut and returned with the album ‘Silence’. InsideOut has subsequently re-released the first three albums as special editions, with bonus tracks and enhanced booklets.
Waltz With Mother Nature
A.C.T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think about the things that you might see
Vision from the great beyond
Clearly your react, you'll respond
And as the moon will tell it's tales...
You will never fail
(Now is the time to open up)
To look into your precious universe
Something inside is calling you
Believe it or not you will know what to do
To fly oh to fly so high
Something inside is calling you
Believe it or not you will know what to do
To fly, to feel a natural high
Precisous is the mask you wear
You call it skin you also call it hair
Breathing is to give and take
Her love will fill our lungs as he'll wake
And mother nature tells her tales
We will never fail
Now is the time to open up
(Now is the time to open up)
To look into your precious universe
Something inside is calling you
Believe it or not you will know what to do
To fly oh to fly so high
Something inside is calling you
Believe it or not you will know what to do
To fly, to feel a natural high
Something inside is calling you
Believe it or not you will know what to do
To fly oh to fly so high
Something inside is calling you
Believe it or not you will know what to do
To fly, to feel a natural high
The song "Waltz With Mother Nature" by A.C.T is an uplifting and spiritual song that encourages the listener to connect with themselves and nature. The lyrics urge the listener to look inwards and open up to the possibilities of their own mind, as well as the world around them. They emphasize the power of nature and our connection to it, suggesting that by breathing in its love, we can achieve a natural high and feel like we can fly.
The opening lines of the song prompt the listener to reflect on their own inner world, asking them to consider what visions they might see when they look into their mind. The suggestion is that there is something waiting to be discovered, perhaps a greater understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. The song also makes reference to the moon and mother nature, using them as metaphors for the natural world and the power it can hold over us.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more explicitly spiritual, suggesting that there is something higher calling to us, urging us to open ourselves up to new experiences and possibilities. The repeated refrain "something inside is calling you, believe it or not you will know what to do" encourages the listener to trust their instincts and follow their heart when it comes to exploring themselves and the world around them.
