What a beautiful song. Makes me feel so little compared to this vast universe. But I feel lucky to be apart of it. Words simply can’t describe the feeling.

The paradox that you are all that you see there, because from there you come. We are stardust...

@Vijay Panduranga The origin of the song and the whole album is a book "The songs of distant earth" written by Arthur C. Clarke. Mike Oldfield composed the music basing on the book. I recommend you whole album, it is totally magic

When I listen to this I visualize looking down at earth from a perspective in space, watching it turn and thinking about the billions and billions of people whose lives have come and gone on that little ball. Every single persons problems that are seemingly so big, never leaving this speck of a sphere, and then looking around at all of the trillions of galaxies in all directions, and seeing that the earth is one with it all. And looking out, I wonder if a being is looking back at me from one of those trillions of directions, and wondering if I exist too.

And seeing just how vast and beautiful and complicated the universe is, I'm honored to be able to say I exist within it. What a gift.
