The Sun, Parhelia & Sun Dogs

“…and everything under the Sun is in tune,
but the Sun is eclipsed by the Moon!”

/Roger Waters, Eclipse/

Nemojte se prerano ponadati. Ovotjedno izdanje Soda Fountaina neće biti ispunjeno veselim napušenim pjesmicama o blagom sunčanom svjetlu i skakutanjima po livadama i plažama. Sunce je ovog puta uzeto kao zajednički nazivnik priloženih skladbi, no u bitno određenijem kontekstu.

U pitanju je dakle ta plinovita užarena kugla sa svim svojim termonuklearnim fuzijskim reakcijama, koronom, fotosferom i protuberancama, i u takvom kontekstu treba razmatrati njezin upliv ako već ne na zemaljski život, onda barem na priloženu listu!
