1. Unicorn from the United Kingdom played country and folk rock. They broke up in 1977. Several of the bands album were produced by (and featured contributions by) David Gilmour of Pink Floyd.
2. Unicorn was a progressive melodic rock band from Sweden, fronted by Dan Swanö (Bloodbath, Edge of Sanity, Nightingale). They released two full-length albums (Emotional Wasteland and Ever Since), two EPs (After Before and The Weirdest of Tales), and two demos (A Collection of Worlds I and A Collection of Worlds II).
The band's style was a far cry from the brutal death metal Swano would later become known for. (Swano formed Unicorn as a young teen.) Unicorn is a very melodic, light progressive band. Nightingale comes closest to their style, though even Nightingale is much heavier.
Swano is currently working on a new project called Second Sky. He says Second Sky is the new Unicorn. An album is expected in 2009.

二人きりの ステージのように
立ち止まり振り向いた肩が求めてる
突然訪れた願ってもないチャンス
うまく言えない 伝えられない
とりとめのない言葉 ミステイク
焦りがつのる その手をそっと
Sugar boy お前は そうさ悲しみ
しょせん ダンディたちのターゲット
Casting まちがえた 神のきまぐれ
バラでむせかえる部屋のかたすみで
はずした恋は数えきれない
砂をかむようなミステイク
暗い迷路にとり残されて
出口を探し続けてる
最後のチャンスさえ
あとずさり sugar boy 見てられない
夢の続きを見てる
見当違いの sugar boy
はずした恋は数えきれない
砂をかむようなミステイク ミステイク
暗い迷路にとり残されて
出口を探し続けてる
まわりを見まわして
怯えても sugar boy 誰もいない
澄んだ目を潤ませて
崩れ落ちそうな sugar boy
最後のチャンスさえ
あとずさり sugar boy 見てられない
夢の続きを見てる
見当違いの sugar boy, sugar boy
The lyrics of Unicorn's song "Sugar Boy" depict a dark and lonely atmosphere, with spotlights illuminating a path surrounded by trees. It creates the image of a stage where only two people exist. The singer is halted in their tracks, turning their shoulder to seek something they long for. Unexpectedly, a chance arrives, one that they never even wished for.
The lyrics convey a struggle in communication and expression; the singer finds it difficult to articulate their emotions and thoughts. The words seem disjointed and without coherence, filled with mistakes and insecurities. The urgency grows, with the desire to simply hold the other person's hand and stay connected.
The chorus introduces the term "sugar boy," which appears to refer to the singer. They are portrayed as a target for the dandies, destined to be a source of sadness. However, the casting seems to have been mistaken, a capricious decision of the gods, and they find themselves in a room filled with suffocating roses, hidden in a corner.
The second verse reiterates the countless failed loves and mistakes, comparing them to chewing sand. The singer feels left behind and lost in a dim labyrinth, continuously searching for an exit. Even the last chance feels like a step backward, unable to be witnessed by the sugar boy. They are left dreaming of a continuation that seems misplaced.
The final verse depicts the singer looking around, filled with fear, but finding no one there. Their clear eyes become teary, and they feel like they are on the verge of crumbling. Yet, they can't help but keep searching for the exit in the dark maze.
Overall, "Sugar Boy" portrays a sense of longing, miscommunication, and being lost in a confusing world. The lyrics evoke feelings of loneliness, unfulfilled desires, and the consequences of mistakes in love.
