As if having Eddie Bryant record a dual sax part for my song “Escape to the Stars” wasn’t fantastic enough I’ve got permission to edit up a journey into space video montage from Luigi Quattrocchi from his original tribute to Hubble!
The song is about the whimsical and fantastical notion that if we mess up this planet we could somehow pioneer a new home among the stars…
Escape to the Stars
Over the water, no anchor out at sea
Islands will be washed away by change
Climbing up our mountain believing we’re free
Emptiness that clings hides only rage
You’ll see them as they struggle through the years that roll by
You know that they’ll try their best but in destiny they’ll die
But the air is poisoned, so there’s nowhere left to hide
Could we leave behind this empty shell with no pride?
Ever looking upwards it’s the stars that draw us near
If stardust’s what we’re made from then our fate is ever clear
Over the water, no anchor out at sea
Our island washed away by change
Know how we struggled as the light years flew by
Know that we suffered for the dreams we left to die
And the air that we poisoned, left us nowhere else to hide
So, we left behind that empty shell and our pride
