Story behind the song
On a distant colony from Earth, a second generation of young explorers, stands ready to reach out to new, far distant horizons.. As they gaze for the last time at the dim star of Earth, before they embark on a starship to a new home, amoung the stars like dust. Bobby Mack has joined with & myself for a Psychedelic romp thru the universe. The inspiring backing track written by Bobby Mack was the seed for an idea of mine to do a short sci-fi story in a song. With the music finished I was faced with what to do for the "storyline" Bobby & I came to the same conclusion, let Lekzee apply her formidible talents to the task. Lekzee Patrick adds a magic to this tune that I didn't think was possible, Thank you Bobby & Lekzee for helping me make this idea "live"

Thank you so much for the beautiful collabs I have done with you and the other guys. You are greatly talented, Michael, you are. I wish to collab with you again....the computer I use for recording quit on me , as I have found time to set it all up. I started a song and did not get to complete it, til I get money to have it repaired. I took a second job...that will help.:)

Far out space adventure, Michael! Very creative. The sax reminded me of Pink Floyd. :D A very successful collaboration indeed. I've got some new stuff you might like.

Orange sunshine anyone? Great feel with lots of spaces, really maintains the mood throughout, until that ripping guitar starts up.:D Dig the modulation, inspiring piece of work. Highly recommend.

I understand why this one hits top 10 ! Great work. Good sound - very balanced. The spacetravel works like a charme - fantastic idea with the sax. NICE guitar in the middle that breaks the atmosphere completely. High Five from here ! BestRegards Lasse
I have just been new to a new place in the sonic plane ....and I liked it Tweak

I'm shocked and stunned. This is awesome . . . where did this come from ?. It's music from a different universe, from a planet of guitars. Amazing in everyway. I'm adding this to my station right now. Well done all of you. David
