This song is rather long. After all, it's also about a very long journey. We know that not everybody like long songs. We have an excerpt of this song in a completely different version with only guitar accompaniment. That would be the short alternative. But we would be happy if some listeners would make the complete musical journey with us and listen to the full version of the song to the end. Here we go:
Enceladus
Part I: Journey in space:
When we left the earth last year, without any sign of fear
No clue how it would be here

Travelling through the lonely night
Drifting in the milky light
Far away from human sight 

Far away from human life, our mission feels so right
Flying to the icy moon, a journey to the unknown
Enceladus calling us, with the rocket travelling fast
Human dreams we cannot hide, human spirit is our guide
Watch a different cosmic side, all around us the starlight
Travel through eternal night, travel through eternal night

Instrumental Part

Part II: Approaching Enceladus, Landing:
Enceladus’ coming near, Saturn is so huge and clear
Time to change the running gear
Approaching Saturn’s mystical face
After that journey through infinite space
Landing on this moon, foreign stars above
Enceladus as beautiful as love
We’ll explore the ocean under the deep ice
We wonder whether we’ll find traces of life

Travelling through the lonely night
Drifting in the milky light
Far away from human sight

Behind the rings the moon awaits
We’ll explore it’s icy gates
Instruments raised to explore
What’s under the ice and more
Secrets of the inner sea
Cannot wait what we will see, cannot wait what we will see

Instrumental Part

Part III: The scientific mission, getting the results:
(Unfortunately, we are not authorized to present the research results here; this will be done officially. That's why we had to remove this part from our song. Unfortunately, it will take a very, very long time, before the research results are published so we have to ask you to be very patient. )
…
Part IV: Dismantling the camp and heading home:
Enceladus was our home on this mission so alone
Time to leave this icy stone
Packing the instruments with care and grace
We’ll bring our finding through the distant space
In the frozen world under the star’s dome
We gather ‘cause it’s time to go home
Enceladus we will never come back
But about you we’ll create a soundtrack (you have it tight here, the soundtrack)

Camp dismantled and our probes in the crates
Every one ready the countdown awaits
We’ll bring Enceladus’ portrait, 
Destination home, we are on our way

Wait for us ‘cause we bring home amazing research data
And to earth we bring Enceladus’ water

We missed our earth and our people so much
Oh, how we want to feel again the earth’s living touch
Our family faces we long to greet
We will be so happy when we finally can meet
We’ve learned nothing is more important than protecting the earth
Every fight, every sacrifice, every effort it is worth – it!

Lyrics

Let’s walk through the forest
And talk of our dreams
About love beyond boundaries
‘Neath a blanket of leaves

With your hand in mine
We’ll blaze our own trail
Through warm winds that blow
And cold winter snow

Through good times and sorrow
Wherever we go

No darkness can conceal
The light in our hearts
No power so strong
That can keep us apart
No time so long to make us forget
We’re two hands, and one heart

Sunlight through leaves
Cast shadows around
A flicker of panic
My heart races quicker

Wherever you are
I will never be far
And fear can’t control
The joy in our souls

So, grip my hand tight
Everything is alright

No darkness can conceal
The light in our hearts
No power so strong
That can keep us apart
No time so long to make us forget
We’re two hands, but one heart

I look in your eyes
As our fingers entwine
And I believe
Your love is all that I need

I look in your eyes
And I see
Eternity

No darkness can conceal
The light in our hearts
No power so strong
That can keep us apart
No time so long to make us forget
We’re two hands, but one heart

Two Hands But One Heart

Electric Dreams (extended instrumental)

Inspired by Erik Satie's 1920 Premier Menuet.
Artists are found in many forms and persuasions.
Loving those French Impressionists with avant-garde natures !!

Premier Menuet

Why not going a bit more progressive? Progressive Rock that is ... more the modern variation than classic 1970s style. Maybe NeoProg ... 

when i was young

Remember when those pesty captchas asked for reading obscured scribbles and retype their words? Well, I collected some of those words and gave them to a rap "lyricist". The resulting lyrics are fed into a rap "composer". The resulting sounds got polished, arranged and now presented by -ehem- me.

topsy rap

Those once used captcha phrases inspired a new age lyricist as well, and a new age composer gladly took over the next job -- again leaving me to arrange, mix and produce the whole presentation. And yes, there are topsy turvy and cats' pajamas as well ...

Sometimes, I post something of my own work but more and more often, I spend my time collaborating as part of Intact Sounds. Intact Sounds is Cyril Lazaro (France), Thierry Doualle (France) and I (Canada).
