John Nicholas Oliva (born July 22, 1960), known simply as Jon Oliva, is an American composer, multi-instrumentalist and singer. He is best known as the founder of and keyboardist and lead vocalist for Savatage. His younger brother was Criss Oliva, the lead guitarist and co-founder of Savatage. Since 1996 he has also been a music composer, musician and vocalist in Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Producer Paul O'Neill who has worked with many of the rock world's biggest acts, refers to Oliva in numerous interviews as the single greatest vocalist/musician he has ever worked with. Impressed not only with his real four octave range, but his Mel Blanc-like gift of being able to morph the sound of his voice to any style, from John Lennon and Freddie Mercury, and clean to Joe Cocker-raspy.
Biography
Early life
"My dad is a piano player, and we always had a piano in the house, so I started messing around with that. I was probably like 11 or 12. I was very impatient, so I kind of blew that by. There were [also] guitars around the house. It was just a gradual thing - a little bit of everything here and there. We bought a bass, because we had guitars, piano and drums - the one thing we didn't have was a bass. So we went out and bought this shitty, teardrop-shaped, green bass, probably the ugliest bass in the whole world. It had black nylon strings - it was really awful. The strings [were] like six inches off the fretboard, but we had a bass, and I started dabbling with that. It was just a little bit of everything at one time."
The Passeig (promenade) runs through the centre of the town, and features a market each Friday. On the left side of the Marina beach is Kiko beach. The blue flagged beaches of Oliva stretch for 7 kilometres (4 miles); many contain sand dunes
Oliva has one of the province's biggest and most colourful Moors and Christians Festivals (Festes de Moros i Cristians, in Valencian language) in the area. In the old town there are two churches, Sant Roc and Santa Maria la Major. Sant Roc dates from the 18th-19th centuries, and Santa Maria from the 17th-18th centuries. At the top of the hill in the old town is Santa Anna Castle, built in the 16th century.
In the centre of the village is a Roman kiln situated below one of the blocks of apartments on Santíssim street.
Subsequent to the publication of the Tursch & Greifeneder (2001) book entitled Olive shells: The genus Oliva and the species problem came out, the classification of Oliva species has changed considerably, since a number of what were previously considered to be species are now considered to be only forms of a lot fewer species. This list does not yet reflect those changes.
Oliva Cigar Co. the manufacturer of several brands of cigars primarily grown and produced in Nicaragua and sold worldwide. The family-owned company traces its roots to patriarch Melanio Oliva, who began growing tobacco in Pinar del Río, Cuba in 1886. In 1964, in the aftermath of the 1959 Cuban Revolution, Melanio's grandson Gilberto Oliva emigrated with his family to Spain before eventually moving to Nicaragua and reentering the tobacco business. In 1995 Gilberto and his son, Gilberto Jr., launched the "Gilberto Oliva" brand — a label which evolved into today's Oliva. The company is based today in Miami Lakes, Florida.
Company history
Forerunners
The family-owned Tabacalera Oliva Tabolisa, known in the United States as the Oliva Cigar Co., traces its roots back to Melanio Oliva, who first began to produce tobacco in Pinar del Rio, Cuba in 1886. The farm was continued by his son, Hipolito Oliva, who took over the growing operation during the 1920s and continued the work for several decades.

Lyrics :
When she's sad the world is lonely
Silver clouds are crying only
For the pain she feels
So deep inside
The love she thought would save her
Has somehow now enslaved her
To a dream she though she wanted
To come true
Spread your wings you can fly
But the dove is never free
In painted skies that shade the color
Of your dream
Only nightmares are real
Confusion...

Jon Oliva - The truth (Lyrics)
From "Raise the curtain", 2013.
I just want to sit
Have a drink
Talk to you
All these things
That I know you gone through
I can see
In your eyes
When you speak of days gone by
There's so much that you're keeping
inside
Let it go
Don't you know
I am here to dry your tears
Ease the pain
You been holding for years
Look deep into my eyes
You will see the truth, no lies
Spread your wings and hold on tight
So to you all
I say tell the truth
Play no games
I don't think I could handle the pain
So I ask once again
Be my lover
Be my friend
I'll be there for you right to the end
As this story winds down to the end
If we can't agree
Can we still be friends
All I have I've offered to you
And all I ask in return is the truth
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth

Silver clouds are crying only
For the pain she feels
So deep inside
The love she thought would save her
Has somehow now enslaved her
To a dream she though she wanted
To come true
Spread your wings you can fly
But the dove is never free
In painted skies that shade the color
Of your dream
Only nightmares are real
Confusion conceals the only reason
For the feelings you can't hide
You can fly
When she smiles the world it shines
But the silver clouds are only there
To hide the distant storm
That's coming soon
The love she let surround her
Has become the waves that drown her
In the sea of ever-changing
Warmth and cold
Spread your wings you can fly
But the dove is never free
In painted skies that shade the color
Of your dream
Only nightmares are real
Confusion conceals the only reason
For the feelings you can't hide
You can fly
Spread your wings you can fly
But the dove is never free
In painted skies that shade the color
Of your dream
When the nightmares ensue
All that you can do is paint your sky
Another brighter shade of blue
Spread your wings you can glide
Above the violent storms
That plague your life
You paint the picture blue or grey
Fly away ....

Biography
Early life
"My dad is a piano player, and we always had a piano in the house, so I started messing around with that. I was probably like 11 or 12. I was very impatient, so I kind of blew that by. There were [also] guitars around the house. It was just a gradual thing - a little bit of everything here and there. We bought a bass, because we had guitars, piano and drums - the one thing we didn't have was a bass. So we went out and bought this shitty, teardrop-shaped, green bass, probably the ugliest bass in the whole world. It had black nylon strings - it was really awful. The strings [were] like six inches off the fretboard, but we had a bass, and I started dabbling with that. It was just a little bit of everything at one time."
I got something on my mind Makes me sad and makes me cry - oh no Johnny wanna live Just an ordinary day An animal will pass away - oh no Johnny wanna live Who's to say he got no rights Even not a right to life Don't know why it leaves you cold Don't know how to make it show - oh no Johnny wanna live Johnny wanna live Got to give his skin away For coats the wear on summer days - oh no Johnny wanna live Beauty aid and all the rest Come directly from a test - oh no Johnny wanna live Through his eyes I look inside his heart He can feel like me and you Can't defend himself cause he can't talk And this is why I talk to you Johnny isn't just a name He stands for every creature's pain - on no Johnny wanna live Johnny wanna live Go an try to look inside his heart You can find your own mistakes Try to hide them thinking he can't talk But he can read them on your face Tell me why it leaves you cold I swear I'm gonna to make it show - oh no Johnny wanna live
