Arcadia
The mythical and legendary land to which, in the eyes of The Libertines (Carl Barat and Peter Doherty) , the Albion is sailing to a dreamland. Arcadia is a poetic ideal of a place where everythings good and right, anywhere you can find peace. A place with no laws, boundaries and there is liberty everywhere.
It's an awareness of your surroundings; you're not gonna force yourself on anyone and, equally, no-one's gonna force themselves on you. And it's about community and pleasure. It came from a whisper through the trees. It came from a crack in the pavement. It can also come when you open a bag of crisps, or when you kick a football against a goalpost. Even if I was winding you up, it would still be true, because Arcadia and the Arcadian Dream is so deep, is so true to our hearts... It can be as powerful as your imagination can allow it to be. But, it can also be as dark and twisted as your soul... Arcadia encompasses the infinite, and that's why it comforts me."
