A lost girl trapped and confused by the veil of her own world of fantasy.

You’ll understand it better if you read the lyrics

This song is based on a shorter one I wrote when I was 12 years old. At that
age I found out I was not a girl anymore, I had to grow up and leave
the safety of my inner world and start to be aware of the mundane
reality. I felt like a captive bird, the bars of an invisible enormous
cage around me, but still trapped. My castles fell, my kingdom vanished
and I started to be afraid of forgetting all the magic things I had
imagined. All around me was new and hostile, boiling with people that
couldn't really hear me, and all I longed was to be back again in my
shell. At the end of the song I portray the pacifying happiness of
abandoning myself into my own world of fantasy out beyond the furthest
end, far away…

Ann Mari Sjogren the Worlds oldest living Fairy Artist celebrated her 90th Birthday in Sweden on 1st January 2008 with a surprise visit from English fairy artist Myrea Pettit of Fairiesworld. Both artists were overcome with the emotion of the surprise party planned at the suggestion of Per Arne Skansen who was responsible to rediscover the talents of Ann Mari in 2001 and a lifetime of drawing and pictures that had lain unpublished for years. Since that time Ann Mari has had her work published in numerous books and magazines and newspapers and made TV appearances and radio interviews. It seems it is never too late for a real fairy to make her mark on a world eager to see her work first published worldwide in 1947 in A Day in Fairyland. Long live Ann Mari and Happy Birthday Blessings. See her
