This 1984 song belonging to the Romanian hard rock band Iris was released on the group's debut album, "Iris I". During the communist regime, "Those Who Will Be" was considered a disident song because of its lyrics written by the famous Mircea Dinescu, who at that time was a disident Romanian poet. The song begins with a clock rhythm distinguished by cymbals. This rhythm is like a final countdown. The metaphorical time trickling idea is continued by the lyrics. We have to realize that the "great nothing", when we all have to die, is very close. Our lifes are nothing more than some "pearls of song and dream". Death is seen as a natural event, that must be confronted with dignity and without any kind of fear. The poet places himself at the "height of this song" and looks at the incoming ones, the new characters of this world. "Those Who Will Be" refers both to the new generations and the generations of whose who departed this life. Adrian Pintea, Laura Stoica, Florian Pittiş left our world for a new beginning. Iris musical producer, Mike Godoroja, said at a press conference that the title of this song is the most beautiful and interesting title that appears on "Iris I" LP. That's why the 30 years anniversary album released in 2007 was entitled "Those Who Will Be".
Finalul clipului cu ADRIAN PINTEA, LAURA STOICA şi FLORIAN PITTIŞ este realizat superb! Într-adevăr se leagă de mesajul piesei! Nu îi vom uita niciodată pe aceşti trei oameni cu totul deosebiţi, care acum ne veghează din alte locuri!
