Fun facts

The Ark started playing in 1991, near Växjö, in Sweden. It wasn't a place of much fame, but there a rock band was born, moving with its own energy. Their sound was direct, without complications, and they did it with a touch of honesty that set them apart. They didn't get involved in style debates, they simply played what they were passionate about.

The story behind

Gerry Rafferty recorded The Ark in 1978, as part of his second solo album, City to City. The song was released on an album that reached the top of the charts in the United States, displacing Saturday Night Fever from number one on the Billboard 200. It also had good acceptance in the United Kingdom, reaching number six on the album chart. The song lasts five minutes and forty seconds, and is still being listened to today, with over a hundred thousand plays on Last.fm. It's a song you can play, that has rhythm, that feels on your skin.
