You And Marillion - The Sirens Song, Mona Bergum Story

Norway, the magical land where ancient mountains lie down in the sea like sirens singing life melodies. Answering their song, Marillion shed their music into Mona Bergum life.
 
A divorce is the brutal mark of the end of story. Among tears, memories, bureaucracy, struggle an LP was left behind. When the new beginning knocked on Mona's door, the old friend destiny made her find the "Clutching at Straws" left behind by her ex-husband to open her "Incommunicado" heart. "Sugar Mice" expressed what her heart could not say in that moment, that her soul was embraced by love again. An inexplicable passion for those guitar chords was born. A remarriage emerge, Marillion marriage, and this one would never end. Mona tried to spread "the everything is going to be fine"  feeling with her kids by playing no stop Marillion music. Unfortunately, for her kids at that time the silence was the best music being played. Time is wise and it decided that Mona need a whole pause from the Marillion marriage to rebuild their relationship.
 
"One fine Day", while walking on the street Mona heard the sirens calling again, this time, from inside a music shop. A new voice in the same perfect song lines, telling her not to be "Afraid Of Sunlight". Her heart raced, hands sweat, chills down her spine and Mona`s soul was taken by the emotion of finding an old love.   
She came back home with that "Uninvited Guest", but at this time was "Sympathy" at first sight. Mona was touched, her kids were enjoying the maximum present a mother can provide, love manifested trough music and now it would "Live Forever". Plunged into  Marillions sensitivity sea the kids found one of the reasons of worth living, music. 
 
When life paraded its art of meeting, Mona found love again. That was the time for her "Splintering Heart" walk into the "Fantastic Place" called love. Trough those hours passed in the tenderness shadow, "100 Nights" of endless love. The fed dreams, shared moments, eternal conversations and stimulants challenges were accompanied with the trilling Marillion`s electric symphony. "The Party" live performance started for the family, and it repeated several times. In every Gig they shared "Hope For The Future" certain that "Happiness Is The Road".   
 
By becoming woman, Mona became "Brave" and faced her "Runaway" girl past with eyes of grace. The grace to recognize that she was a mature woman, who sometimes needed to be "Made Again". The grace to recognize that the "Brave" woman sometimes feels like a naive child. The grace of being free, strong, and "Beautiful".
 
This year her body will stay in Norway while her spirit will be "Somewhere Else". It will be flying at the Holland Convention.
