Marcela Bovio - Scientist

Copied!

Scientist, come sit with me
Put down your books
While I pour you a drink

Like minds
Have gathered here
As the green fairy
Is getting ready to sing

We'll look out the window
And gaze at the stars

We'll go through the questions
That no one dares to ask

We'll untangle dreams
And go through the facts

We'll sketch a world
Worth giving a damn

Scientist, will we ever solve
All the riddles
Of this beautiful world?

Is there a pair of eyes
Watching from above
Or are we the children
Of a cosmic burst?

We don't have the answers
We might never know

Who's spinning the Earth
And igniting the Sun

What brought us here
Where do we belong?

I'm drowning in the night sky
I'm feeling so small

Help me make sense
Of this terrible mess

Why must we endure
So much pain and distress?

Do we need to endlessly
Stumble through the night
To learn how
To appreciate the light? (ah ah)
(ah oh oh)
(ah oh)
(ah oh oh)

Biography

edit bio

Marcela Alejandra Bovio García (born October 17, 1979) is a Mexican singer and violinist who is currently a member of the Dutch symphonic death metal band MaYaN.

In 1995, she joined Hydra, a Mexican metal band, singing and playing violin. In 1999, they released an EP called “Bosquejo”. After leaving them, Bovio co-founded the Mexican experimental rock band Elfonía in 2001, which was active until 2006.

In 2003, she responded to a “casting call” by Dutch musician Arjen Anthony Lucassen for relatively unknown singers, who chose her to play the character of Wife in the Ayreon album “The Human Equation”. In 2005, he also picked her for his new project, the progressive metal band Stream of Passion. The band released their debut album Embrace the Storm the same year, with Bovio acting as sole lyricist. Lucassen left the band to continue on its own in 2007; this resulted in Bovio acting as band leader and one of the main songwriters (including for composition) on subsequent albums. Stream of Passion amicably disbanded in December 2016.

In September 2016, Bovio independently released her first solo album, Unprecedented, a classical album consisting of original songs she wrote; it was followed by Through Your Eyes in 2018. She joined MaYaN as a full-time member in 2017, after regular collaborations with the band since 2013. She regularly acts as backing vocalist for other bands, notably Epica and The Gentle Storm, and was also one of the founding members of VUUR in 2016.
