Magellan returned in 1997 with Test Of Wills, which represented a slight departure from the band's original sound (though the group, which now includes drummer Brad Kaiser, remained intact). In 2002, the Gardners released the ambitious Hundred Year Flood, dedicated to the brother they lost in the Vietnam War. Though not a prolific band, Magellan's well crafted and ambitious efforts have made them something of a flagship among prog rock's second armada of artists.

Magellan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Progressive, we cleverly syncopate
These rhythms, in a key, in an overture
Directing our experience into yours.
Waiting here for a visionary
Imagine living the new possibilities
In a matter of time you're a
In your future just take command.
Anyone can be a winner
We all want a winner
Everybody wants one -
We all want a winner.
The lyrics to Magellan's song "The Winner" speak about the power of being a visionary, and how anyone can achieve success if they take control of their own destiny. The opening lines set the stage for a performance, with the band inviting the audience to join them in a journey of rhythm and melody. The use of syncopation and careful attention to musical key helps to direct the listener's experience, drawing them in and giving them a sense of participation.
The chorus drives home the message that anyone can be a winner. The idea of living in new possibilities is an enticing one, and the song encourages listeners to embrace this vision and take control of their future.
