I have no idea what they are singing about but the ambiance is fitting :
Fitting music :

Listening O Fortuna while imagining the crackling of the lightning strikes... ():)

I read that the statue was damaged by lightning. Is that why you posted?

No, just the beautiful view. A huge statue of a symbolic figure with lightning around it. As if the statue is summoning it. I know, i watch too many movies. :cool:

The music just is fitting.

If this is the correct translation, it is quite interesting :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Fortuna

O Fortune,
like the moon
you are changeable,
ever waxing
and waning;
hateful life
first oppresses
and then soothes
as fancy takes it;
poverty
and power
it melts them like ice.

Fate – monstrous
and empty,
you whirling wheel,
you are malevolent,
well-being is vain
and always fades to nothing,
shadowed
and veiled
you plague me too;
now through the game
I bring my bare back
to your villainy.

Fate is against me
in health
and virtue,
driven on
and weighted down,
always enslaved.
So at this hour
without delay
pluck the vibrating strings;
since Fate
strikes down the strong man,
everyone weep with me !

Yes - 90125

The whole album. I found the CD at the Goodwill thrift store in excellent condition.

Most of this album is "blah," but some of it is interesting. Did this singer perform in another mainstream '80s band?
