Discovery (John Glenn's adventure)

Story Behind The Song

When first we started to work on this song, was just a theme on a keyboard, wrote down by Roberto (his first song wrote for TWM). But we felt something was still missing, even after we decided to place this spacey, dreamy song in it's right place: space.

Song Description

The true story of a man, a dream of adventure of someone who contributed into writing history of astronautics and space exploration. The dream of humanity, we may say, in a song we dedicated to John Glenn's last space adventure.

Lyrics

Ride a flame into the sky
Looking back from up on high
The arrow streaks into the blue
A miracle, to once more view
An afternoon fading to a blanket of stars

The pioneer returns once more
With no fear of what?s in store
From Friendship 7?s plunge to the sea
to this voyage of Discovery
The hero you were is the hero you are.
