I found this one on another of the tapes in my collection. Probably done circa '92, definitely pre-sampler and pre-analogue synth. Just my drum machine and FB-01 with extremely heavy use of a flanger pedal. I'm trying to think if I actually co-wrote this one because there is a middle section which is so clearly a reference to another track that was out at the time and I think I remember someone wanting it in there... Paul maybe?

The Desert Still Within Me

232 SESSIONS -  Dj Set Live Recorded

Long ago, in ancient times
People used to sit around fires in the forest clearings
And look up at the sky
The stars twinkled so brightly that the people said
That the stars themselves must be singing a song
Called "the harmony of the spheres"
Some strange celestial magic chanting
Which we on earth cannot hear
And yet which shapes our days, as well as our nights.
Perhaps you've heard the phrase
"It was written in the stars" -
Perhaps it was sung there also.
And people traced out patterns in these musical stars
And named them after animals that they knew
The Great Bear
The Giant Squid
The Dog
(Yes, some of these star names are a little bit odd!)
Let us go into the stars and twinkle with the animals
Hearing the different songs that different animals sing
Is there a unicorn star? A spider star? A cat star?
What would they sound like?
Let's find out!

Storm Mollison invites Palmer Reed - 22 February 2025

This song is about putting our trust in something greater. It's about choosing to have hope, despite the circumstances around us. It's about taking the first steps into the great unknown. It's about having faith.
