MAGNUS were one of the pio… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
MAGNUS were one of the pioneers of the thrashened death metal wave in Poland, formed in 1987. In the 80's, when this genre of metal was born, MAGNUS blazed a trail of an innovative style of fast and heavy play. They were the first band in Poland and one of the first in the world to highlight music with a controversial and rare image, as black uniforms filled with thorns were in those times. MAGNUS split up in 1997.
Magnus is a joint dance collaboration of Tom Barman - heart and soul of Antwerp (Belgium) rockers dEUS - and CJ Bolland - DJ/producer and key figure in the international techno scene.
"First one to call Magnus a side-project will get his teeth kicked in by me personally" Barman grins. Their message is clear: Magnus isn't a mere try-out by two different artists, but it is a close and successful encounter between two musicians with radically distinct musical backgrounds, who took it to a recording studio in search of a common sound.
The name Magnus stands for funky, which means party. Thus Magnus bring forth uptempo records that are meant to be played loud.
Magnus originally started out as a three-piece band, but soon Peter Vermeersch – composer, tenor sax and clarinet player of X-Legged Sally and Flat Earth Society – was obliged to step out, due to a busy agenda.
Magnus are also an experimental pop/rock band from Chicago, USA. They issued Sleepwalker in 2004.
Magnus was a straight edge hardcore band from Wilkes-Barre, PA, USA.
An alias of Michael Lee, American Psy-trance producer and DJ
Amercian Hardcore band

Magnus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And in a minute, it could go to dust
When everything is breaking
And nothing have a chance to work out
But I don't care 'bout all those things
They only seem to bring me down
I'd rather keep my head in the clouds
Than having my feet stuck to the ground
(In the clouds)
There's no place I like it better
(On the ground)
There's no place I'd rather be
Feels like we're out of patience without a second to catch our breath
I don't know what we're chasing
There's many things I don't understand
But I don't care what happens to me
I'll never let it bring me down
I'd rather keep my head in the clouds
Than having my feet stuck to the ground
(In the clouds)
There's no place I like it better
(On the ground)
There's no place I'd rather be
Magnus's song "Clouds" is all about escapism and being able to detach yourself from reality for a while. The opening verse is particularly poignant, with the lyrics "Feels like the ground is shaking / And in a minute, it could go to dust". This suggests a sense of instability and danger in the world, and the feeling that everything could collapse at any moment. However, Magnus refuses to let this get him down, and instead chooses to "keep [his] head in the clouds". This phrase is often used to describe someone who is a dreamer or is not grounded in reality, but here it is presented as a positive attribute, something that allows Magnus to escape the chaos below.
The second verse continues this theme of unrest, with the lyrics "Feels like we're out of patience without a second to catch our breath / I don't know what we're chasing". Magnus seems to be commenting on the fast pace of modern life, and how we are always rushing towards some undefined goal, without a clear sense of direction or purpose. Again, he wants to distance himself from this hectic pace, and instead find solace in his own thoughts and imagination.
Overall, "Clouds" is a song about the importance of taking a step back from the chaos of daily life and finding a space where you can breathe and be yourself. It encourages listeners to embrace their own inner dreamer, and to not get bogged down in the mundanity of everyday existence.

Part of the gravitational (potential) energy is lost in the spin... and that's just one of many reasons.
