A Padlás (The Loft) : Fényév távolság (Lightyear's Distance)
lyric's translation:
There might be many places nicer and better than our Earth. An existence, who can do more than humans, might also be out there. Sometimes I'm longing for that unknown place. Another time a dream haunts me, that the voice, that the silence, that the light, that the fire, are no longer guarding this small piece of land, and we have to leave it for ever. Lightyear's distance, I keep listening and staring in awe. A merry country of light, where miracles happen all the time. I see its purity, but I cannot comprehend it. I hear its voice, but I cannot reach it. There is the sea, here is my ship. So here is the place, that I would sometimes love to leave. And here is the life, that we can't really understand yet. Sometimes it would be easier to run away, to disappear in the pure light, but the signal, that is heard but the voice, what's calling me, doesn't tell me how can I ever get back. Lightyear's distance, I keep listening and staring in awe. A merry country of light, where miracles happen all the time. I see its purity, but I cannot comprehend it. I hear its voice, but I cannot reach it. There is the sea, here is my ship. I have a life to live here, I have dreams to live for, at this place...
It's also nice to come here and just listen to all the tracks using this forum thread as a playlist. Everything awesome about the 80s music scene in one place. Handy when you're out and about (As long as you've got wifi.)
Holy crap, looks like it. Billboard says: "Prince died earlier today (April 21) at age 57 at his Paisley Park home and studio, his publicist confirmed to the Associated Press. TMZ first reported the news."
I see a lot of people today describe Scandal as a "one hit wonder" for The Warrior, but Goodbye to You was also a very well-known/liked song that still gets radio play today:

nicer and better than our Earth.
An existence, who can do more than humans,
might also be out there.
Sometimes I'm longing for that unknown place.
Another time a dream haunts me,
that the voice,
that the silence,
that the light,
that the fire,
are no longer guarding this small piece of land,
and we have to leave it for ever.
Lightyear's distance,
I keep listening and staring in awe.
A merry country of light,
where miracles happen all the time.
I see its purity, but I cannot comprehend it.
I hear its voice, but I cannot reach it.
There is the sea, here is my ship.
So here is the place,
that I would sometimes love to leave.
And here is the life,
that we can't really understand yet.
Sometimes it would be easier to run away,
to disappear in the pure light,
but the signal, that is heard
but the voice, what's calling me,
doesn't tell me how can I ever get back.
Lightyear's distance,
I keep listening and staring in awe.
A merry country of light,
where miracles happen all the time.
I see its purity, but I cannot comprehend it.
I hear its voice, but I cannot reach it.
There is the sea, here is my ship.
I have a life to live here, I have dreams to live for, at this place...

(I still have about 60 artists on my list, who haven't been mentioned yet, although not all of them are in my personal collection.)
"Prince died earlier today (April 21) at age 57 at his Paisley Park home and studio, his publicist confirmed to the Associated Press. TMZ first reported the news."
EDIT: Yes, I realize Lemmy died at the end of 2015, but it's close enough that I count it against this year.
