History (unofficial version)
The group was formed in 1996 by Alexander Bard and Anders Wollbeck.
The history of the group can be divided into two distinct parts: before the departure of the group's leader Alexander Bard in 1999 and after his departure, since which the singer Mattias Lindblom has become the group's new leader. The first two full albums of 1997 and 1998 were characterized by classical music influences and socially-, politically- and even astronomically-themed lyrics, which are very unusual for synth pop music; the 2004 album "Your Whole Life Is Leading Up to This", written by Wollbeck/Lindblom, steered away from synth pop to trance/techno and personal lyrics dealing with love and the meaning of life.

Tears of a Nation
Vacuum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell his loyal goodbye
Spray his name on the sky and cry
The tears of a nation
Play the funeral dance
Revolution romance,
Set your spirit in trance and cry
Soldiers carry the train
Hundreds cry in the rain,
Thousands follow his flame and cry
The tears of a nation
It takes a statesman a certain sacrifice
Born to a mission be godlike sound and wise
The man is worthy, who serves the common
Man crowned in charisma
The leader of the land
It takes an anthem to make a nation proud
Born to a vision, the sound of the crowd
Bring hope and glory
Bring heaven down to Earth
Music for masses, music for masse

А я была на этом концерте❤️❤️❤️ - 12 ноября 1998 в театре у Дорониной на Тверском. Маттиас красавчик 😍🥰 Моя любовь навсегда 😁

Кстати, изначально видеорядом к этой песне шли кадры приезда группы в Россию в 90-х. Маттиас ходил по улицам, общался с людьми. Был явный подтекст сочувствия разрушенной великой стране, потерянному народу. Не радовался, не смеялся, чувствовал и понимал произошедшую катастрофу. Он оказался порядочным и думающим человеком. Большая редкость в наши дни. Голос уникальный. Не зря его Бог отметил.
