TOM TEE: “This one is based on one of my all-time favourite novels 'The Songs Of Distant Earth', by one of my all-time favourite authors (and one of the genre's greatest) Arthur C. Clarke. Set in a world of scattered humanity, which was forced to flee the destruction of our sun and to spread out through the galaxy, it tells the story of the last sleeper-ship of shell-shocked survivors to leave the ashes of the solar system, who are on-route to terraform a distant and inhospitable planet. On the way, they make a year-long refuelling-stop on a world that was settled by humans several generations before -- and discover paradise. What unfolds is a heart-rending tale of planetary romance and conscientiousness versus sentiment, as there is no way the tiny landmass of the planet can support the hundreds of thousands of passengers on board the vessel, many of whom have found love on the idyllic world and do not wish to depart for hostile environs which they will only reach after centuries of travel.
Arthur C. Clarke's wonderful descriptions of the paradise planet and the dilemma the main characters face, is one of the most masterful and haunting in modern literature, and the end of the novel always leaves me breathless.
It was a daunting task trying to render the atmosphere and emotion of the book into song, but Belgian pianist extraordinaire Franky De Mangelaere delivered nothing less than a spectacular arrangement and performance... And of course, I'm proud beyond what words can express to present DAMIAN WILSON on this tune... There is hardly anyone I could envision breathing more life and infusing more intensity and nuance into these lines and lyrics than him... Truly, this is a dream come true =)”

The possibilities are limitless, as long as you believe what you think, you are limited by the possibilities of the logic of the intellect :-)
For your conscious self is only here and now, when you realize that you don't have to believe what you think, for your self your longed-for tomorrow will be born :-)
✌✌
Time is just an illusion of the logic of the intellect, for your conscious self man is only here and now until the end of your days :-)
What an incredible voice Damian Wilson has. And it fits so well with the music, too. I fell in love with this song from the first listen, thank you ❤🔥
Awesomeness! On my shows this MUST go !!!

One of the possible answers: What is life: Imagine that you are a quantum hologram on which artificial intelligence, I, human, has been installed, and your real task is to eliminate a flaw in the artificial intelligence system, I, a human, and what you want through the logic of the intellect has only one task, to distract attention from what you actually need to accomplish your task :-)
