Carl Sagan started me dreaming....we are the stuff of stars.
lyrics
Some kind of communication,
affects us all in a way
The years of looking and listening,
all leading to this day
First contact celebration the time is drawing near
Divides across the nation those who welcome those who fear
The feeling of hope as somebody spoke and said we’re not alone here
The fire in your heart that lights from the spark that someone is out there
It changes today and you hope it will stay and the world will be better
The things we could learn if trust we could earn from someone who’s out there
A plan of propaganda to keep us all in line
The thinkers and the dreamers they study every sign
Beware the politician, the military man
They have their own agenda, they work a different plan
The feeling of hope as somebody spoke and said we’re not alone here
The fire in your heart that lights from the spark that someone is out there
It changes today and you hope it will stay and the world will be better
The things we could learn if trust we could earn from someone who’s out there
And when you look above do you see life or do you see God
We are the stuff of stars, we are the one
All light will come to you if you stand staring into space
We are a point in time we are the one
The feeling of hope as somebody spoke and said we’re not alone here
The fire in your heart that lights from the spark that someone is out there
It changes today and you hope it will stay and the world will be better
The things we could learn if trust we could earn from someone who’s out there
We are the one We are the one We are the one

Wonderful, beautiful, densely layered music. I'm glad I gave this album several headphone listens before commenting. It did not immediately strike a chord with me, but the more I listened the more I began to understand and appreciate how fantastically rich and deep the sound is. For fans of atmospheric and melodic prog, this is an excellent addition. Bass and drum work are exquisite! paliojen_black
For those that remember the Look and Read series in the early eighties (which had such programmes as 'Dark Towers'), in my opinion this music evokes those feelings of mystery and wonder. Very, very impressed. Trebör
Although the 3 guest vocalists on this album sing wonderfully, and the songs are diverse and creative, I still prefer the voice of Peter Falconer. Still, I highly recommend this album, aware that my preference is somewhat of a bias. Some of the guitar playing on here is incredible. Despite the new vocalists, the sound of this album is still distinctly Drifting Sun. Personally, I give it 7.5/10. Alrihkh
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022
Sustained by seismic psych riffs, proggy shifts, and vivid sci-fi storytelling, these Milwaukee cosmonauts command respect. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2023
Love and peace to Ukraine! With the horrible news about the ongoing war in Karfagen's and Antony's home country and his home town of Charkiw, it's hard to find the proper words, praising this beautiful, symphonic prog album...
I wish you and yours all the best - keep safe!!! Carsten Pieper
