Stars in us 

Is there something more to you than meets the eye?
Is there something more to us than what we think we know?
All must lead onto glory 
They’ll say to you “In times things are better”
Though, we feel we’ll eventually fall down.. you could still know better

When you feel small and need a sign the world holds you lonely 
Brace yourself for the loving that you thought you would know 
The rest is a moment in time

Do the stars that sit above cry out there loneliness?
Lost in a chasm of eternal space with no way to reach the other 
Or do the shine from out the dark?
To assure all hurts are far apart
From way out where we do not know
Our little world that spins below that’s lost and found and lost again
That spins our dreams way out of sight, but we we supposed to know a gain? 
From a single rush too bright to end, our dreams that clash and bring the rain 
To allow our love to bloom past all pain and through the clouds we’ll see again
The found and lost and found again

Stars In Us

Born Of Stars by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Winter 2008-09.

The audio file for this song was plagued with hundreds, maybe thousands, of corrupted waves. These ranged in sound from a very big click at the small end of the scale, to something akin to trousers being ripped when bending over in a Carry On movie at the large end of the scale.

The audio file is now massively better than it was. A few blemishes and some sounds not unlike that of a scratchy old vinyl record still exist in places.

Repairing the damaged audio file for this song was an incredibly time-consuming and tedious task. It required massive amounts of the wave forms to be redrawn by hand in tiny, tiny detail.

The first time we attempted to repair it, the work was almost finished when the main hard drive on the mastering machine lost the will to live and mangled itself beyond all recognition. We had to buy a new one and completely reinstall the entire system.

All the repair work already done to Born of Stars was therefore utterly destroyed. It had to be done again from the start. Fortunately, as we are reasonably diligent with regard to backing up our work, no other files were lost.

This is why the Winter version of Born of Stars appeared two years after the rest of the album was released!

* Born of Stars is a highly rifftastic space rock song in the key of E.
* Several sections are deliberately left quite loose to allow for improvisation.
* The lyrics also tend to vary from one version to another.
* Born of Stars was performed by the Spacegoats, including in their brief “Electric Elves” manifestation.

Earth
Planet Earth
Planet Earth
Our planet
Terra Firma
Has made a conscious decision
A conscious, conscious decision
To become whole
To become one.

Entombed, cocooned
In concrete, metal,  plastic, tarmac
Effluence of all kinds
Chemicals, radiation and  nuclear waste

Yet she shall break free
She shall break free from this prison
Free from these chains

Planet Earth is undergoing
An evolutionary, interpersonal, galactical
REBIRTH!!!

We are born of stars
We are born of stars
We are born of stars
We are born of stars

We are seeds of… time!
