Based on an idea of how Mrs Major Tom felt about being left behind and her progression
(or regression) to a drug induced suicide
lyrics
Can you hear me? (x3)
Searching for healing, finding more pain
The truth is too hard when it calls her name
Searching through my dreams
Reoccurring themes
Out on the rat race the every day grind
Leaving her body and losing her mind
Searching through my dreams, Can you hear me?
Reoccurring themes
Who knows where souls go when they're left behind (When the soul is left behind)
Nothing but darkness, no joy to find (There's no joy or hope to find)
"Some day you'll be here." she tells herself
As her life disappears ... with a tear
Voices cut in to her mind
Every day, they're cutting and cutting
Aimless and alien, meaningless noise
They're screaming and screaming
Out there her soul circles the moon
Seeking her lover, but finding nothing
The sound of the pipe with his treacherous tune
Calling and calling
Calling her on, stars will light the way
Giving up hope for her old life
Every day, she's sinking and sinking
Turning to those with death in their minds
She's tired of thinking
She knows the way to cure her pain
Drowning her mind, drowning drowning
Seeking to join him in their own space
Floating floating
Calling her on, stars will light the way
Calling her on, stars will light the way
Who knows which way the soul will go
Yet she plans the journey
Heaven takes many forms
Which one is right? Which one is healthy?
She feels the yearning only true escapers know
As she cuts the cord to this earthly hell
She rises as she falls
And then, one moment of clarity and sanity
She's found her way
"I will join you. I'll see stars tonight.
We will see stars."
Spinning through space
Seeking her joy
She'll find her way tonight
He calls her name
Stars light her way tonight
She'll find her way
Calling her on, stars will light the way tonight
Calling her on, stars will light her way
Can you hear me?

Composition, Instrumental acumen, and Vocalization are all top notch.
An awesome yet nostalgic present day trip in Prog Rock.

Not long ago discovered this band and needed to get an album. This was one recommended. Truly another Prog masterclass in musicianship. Off to buy more. Ken Dunsmuir
