An archipelago ( /ɑrkɨˈpɛləɡoʊ/ ark-i-PEL-ə-goh), sometimes called an island group, is a chain or cluster of islands. The word archipelago is derived from the Greek ἄρχι- – arkhi- ("chief") and πέλαγος – pélagos ("sea") through the Italian arcipelago. In Italian, possibly following a tradition of antiquity, the Arcipelago (from medieval Greek *ἀρχιπέλαγος) was the proper name for the Aegean Sea and, later, usage shifted to refer to the Aegean Islands (since the sea is remarkable for its large number of islands). It is now used to refer to any island group or, sometimes, to a sea containing a large number of scattered islands such as the Aegean Sea.
Archipelagos may be found isolated in bodies of water or neighboring a large land mass. For example, Scotland has more than 700 islands surrounding its mainland which constitute an archipelago. Archipelagos are often volcanic, forming along island arcs generated by subduction zones or hotspots, but may also be the result of erosion, deposition and land elevation.
Thomas William "Tom" Hiddleston (born 9 February 1981) is an English film, television, radio, and stage actor. He trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), and he rose to prominence through a number of TV roles and more recently major film roles. He played Loki in the 2011 Marvel Studios film Thor, Captain Nicholls in Steven Spielberg's World War I film War Horse (2011), and also Freddie Page in the British drama The Deep Blue Sea, alongside Rachel Weisz. He played author F. Scott Fitzgerald in the Woody Allen film Midnight in Paris (2011). He returned to his role as Loki in The Avengers (2012) and is set to reprise the character again for Thor 2 (2013).
Hiddleston was born in Westminster, London, to parents Diana Patricia (née Servaes), a former stage manager and arts administrator, and James Norman Hiddleston, a scientist in physical chemistry who was the managing director of a pharmaceutical company. His father is from Greenock, Scotland and his mother from Suffolk, England. He is the middle child with two sisters, Sarah (oldest), a journalist in India, and Emma (youngest), is also an actor. He was raised in Wimbledon, in his early years, and later in Oxford. When Hiddleston was 13, he boarded at Eton College, at the same time that his parents were going through a divorce. "I think I started acting because I found being away at school while my parents were divorcing really distressing." He went on to act at The Dragon School in Oxford, then continued on to the University of Cambridge, where he earned a double first. He graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 2005.
Please, the ward he offers me a pack of cigarettes.
They aren't his, and yet I feel it coming on
I feel it coming on a sense of welling grief
And though they‘re serving samovar, somehow I'd rather be
Up in an airplane above the archipelago.
I stuttered in my armour in an airplane above the archipelago.
I could see where you grew up, and the murderer in me.
Please, the blanket and the sheets,
The leaves the gardener rakes are articles of faith.
The company believes I'm running derelict around these foreign streets.
The colonel knows I want to crack his head for taking me
Up in an airplane above the archipelago.
I stuttered in my armour in an airplane above the archipelago.
Now I see where you grew up, and the murderer in me.
They said there was an ice age forty thousand years ago.
Incidents of road rage warring on the streets below.

I'm in the Arichipelago and I'm waiting to arrive.
I'm in the Arichipelago and I know I'm still alive.
You finally told me where you had been thinking for so long.
And it breaks my heart wide open but I know that I'll be stronger next time.
So goodbye my love,
I'll miss it when it's gone.
Goodbye my love,
the ship is shipping on.
Goodbye my love,
I'll give it up into the fog.
Goodbye my love,
I think I knew it all along.

One by one, they fell into the sea
The gleam extinguished; arduous future wait for me
Gravity; the deep pulls me under
Darkness fills me, and I gurgle as is sink
THE CLOUDS ABOVE ARE DARK, I CAN FEEL IT!
AS ARCHIPELAGO WANTS TO SWALLOW ME
MY BLOODSHOT EYEBALLS; MY PRESSURED LUNGS
MY LIFE; MY LIFE IS IT SLOWLY FADING!?
CONATION COMES IN WAVES; THEY TAKE YOU TO THE SHORE
RISE!
RISE!!
Sipping on a sunrise dream
Looking at the waves
And a deep blue sea
Whales are off the bow I see
We're sailing on a boat
In a tropical breeze
And it’s you
Who makes me feel the magic
And it’s true
My heart could burn
If it turned tragic
What can I do
‘Cause I’m so in love with you
I said I…Island View
I said I…Island View
Island view
I’m looking at an island scene
After a rain
Pouring down for days
There you are
In front of me
And a rainbow, too
Peeking through the trees
And it’s you
Who makes me feel the magic
And it’s true
My heart could burn
If it turned tragic
What can I do
‘Cause I’m so in love with you
I said I…Island View
I said I…Island View
Island View
There is a land that’s in my heart
One I want to view
It holds afloat
A beauty that is true
There is a dream we'll always have
These islands to view
And living long
In this paradise with you
And it’s you
Who makes me feel the magic
And it’s true
My heart would burn
If it turned tragic
What can I do
‘Cause I’m so in love with you
I said I…Island View
I said I…Island View
Island View
OAHU, KAUAI
MAUI, MOLOKAI, HAWAII x4
Island View (I said)
Island View (yeah)
Island View
I love you
Island View
