Brave Saint Saturn is an American rock band started as a side project by members of Five Iron Frenzy, a now-defunct Christian ska band. Described by the band as "astro-rock," the music of Brave Saint Saturn (often abbreviated to BS2) is generally more serious than the lighthearted FIF. The group was originally an outlet for Five Iron's frontman, Reese Roper, to explore themes of loneliness and abandonment. BS2 also experimented with more melancholy song composition and ambient sounds, with instruments like synthesizer, glockenspiel, accordion, strings and electronic sampling rounding out the simple, guitar-driven music.
The band's trilogy of albums follow the same outer space-themed story that uses space exploration as an extended metaphor, making the three records an extended concept album. The first album, So Far from Home, was about being lost, while their second, The Light of Things Hoped For, focused on being found. Their third album, entitled Anti-Meridian, about returning home, was released on September 15th, 2008, completing the trilogy and the story of the crew of the U.S.S. Gloria.

Brave Saint Saturn Lyrics

With our nation's space program
Apparently there has been a malfunction of unknown origin
Aboard the USS Gloria
The manned spacecraft currently in orbit around the Saturn moon Titan Preliminary reports are saying
That the spacecraft began venting gases into space
That propelled it into the dark side of Titan
The crew is now out of radio contact
And officials at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas
Believe that the possibilities of the crew
Surviving a landing on the moon to be very very slim
Right now, they are hoping That the craft has somehow remained
In a stagnant position in the eclipsed orbit of Titan
Which would allow for their survival
Until a rescue effort could be executed
Presently there is no way for us to know
Whether they are alive or dead
Our hopes and prayers go out with you all
Godspeed

The USS Gloria, a manned spacecraft currently in orbit around the Saturn moon Titan, has suffered a malfunction of unknown origin. The initial reports indicate that the spacecraft began venting gases into space, which propelled it into the dark side of Titan. The crew is no longer in radio contact, and officials believe that their chances of survival are very slim if the spacecraft were to land on the moon.
The lyrics also mention that officials are hoping the craft has somehow remained in a stagnant position in the eclipsed orbit of Titan, which would allow for the crew's survival until a rescue effort could be executed. However, there is currently no way for us to know whether they are alive or dead. The song ends with a message of hope and prayer for the crew and their loved ones.
Overall, the lyrics to Gemini are a poignant reminder of the risks and dangers involved in space exploration.
