If you don’t have this played at your funeral, you’re just no fun.

No.1 In Heaven

The Number One Song In Heaven

I suddenly felt like adding some Indian vibes to the music and keeping the vocals minimal. It ended up sounding somewhat like trance. Originally, there were three verses, but I decided to cut one and replace it with an instrumental section.
The edit wasn’t done very cleanly, so you can hear some rough transitions in the track. I’m too lazy to fix it now — maybe later.

Lyrics:
Chasing shadows through the night,
Searching skies for wings so bright,
Hand in hand, we run and long—
For our dragon, wild and strong.

Through the storms and glowing mist,
Hopes and dreams we can’t resist,
Laughing as we race the dawn,
We’ll find our dragon and carry on.

Chasing the Dragon Within

Most other musicians, when they've been working for over half a century, are resting on their laurels, basking in the warm glow of their heritage, accepting the odd Lifetime Achievement Award, playing the odd Greatest Hits tour and concentrating on shifting their back catalogue. But Sparks are not most other musicians. They are utterly unique.

Levels of interest in the work of Sparks - brothers Ron and Russell Mael - are at heights unsurpassed in their 50+ year career, with the ultimate cult band now centre stage in the full beam of the spotlight.

Now into their sixth decade of making music, Sparks have never been more relevant.
