The Arctic ( /ˈɑrktɪk/ or /ˈɑrtɪk/) is a polar region located at the northern-most part of the Earth. The Arctic consists of the Arctic Ocean and parts of Canada, Russia, Greenland, Norway, United States, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland. The Arctic region consists of a vast, ice-covered ocean, surrounded by treeless permafrost. The area can be defined as north of the Arctic Circle (66° 33'N), the approximate limit of the midnight sun and the polar night. Alternatively, it can be defined as the region where the average temperature for the warmest month (July) is below 10 °C (50 °F); the northernmost tree line roughly follows the isotherm at the boundary of this region.
Socially and politically, the Arctic region includes the northern territories of the eight Arctic states, although by natural science definitions much of this territory is considered subarctic. The Arctic region is a unique area among Earth's ecosystems. The cultures in the region and the Arctic indigenous peoples have adapted to its cold and extreme conditions. In recent years the extent of the sea ice has declined. Life in the Arctic includes organisms living in the ice,zooplankton and phytoplankton, fish and marine mammals, birds, land animals, plants and human societies.
Ludovico Einaudi OMRI (Italian pronunciation: [ludoˈviːko eiˈnaudi]) (born 23 November 1955 in Turin, Piedmont) is an Italian pianist and composer.
Einaudi was born in Turin, Italy. His mother played to him on the piano as a child. He began his musical training at the Conservatorio Verdi in Milan, gaining a diploma in composition in 1982. That same year, he studied with Luciano Berio and gained a scholarship to the Tanglewood Music Festival.
After studying at the Conservatory in Milan, and subsequently with Berio, he spent several years composing in traditional forms. In the mid-1980s he began to search for a more personal expression in a series of works for dance and multimedia, and later for piano. His music is ambient, meditative and often introspective, drawing on minimalism, world music, and contemporary pop. He has made a significant impact in the film world, with four international awards to his name.[citation needed]
His father, Giulio Einaudi, was a publisher, and his grandfather, Luigi Einaudi, was President of Italy between 1948 and 1955. He currently resides on a vineyard in the Italian region of Piedmont.
I felt my voice broken
Looking for a sound for every word
By searching for a touch from the soul.
I've lost my place,
I carry the burden.
The voice inside knows no love anymore.
Leave me out this time my friend I've grown to hate.
Time out.
I'm out.
Shut up.
I'm out.
You fix it if it's broken,
You heal it if it's sick.
Some days never end,
Some days are never born.
Should I surrender?
Should I travel to your side?
You're the coldest December,
But I'm your coldest night.
(Yeah)
Shut up
Time out
I'm out
I never glow,
You never listen.
And I just can't pretend.
Why don't you burn me alive?
You get what you want.
You want what you get.
Is that the best you can do?
You can take all with you.
Should I surrender?
Should I travel to your side?
You're the coldest December,
But I'm your coldest night.
How can you not see?
