1) They were first formed as a family band in 1968, as The Lopez Sisters, with Carmen Lopez, Lillian Lopez and Louise Lopez. Carmen dropped out, Tony Reynolds (a Manilla native) was recruited and the name was changed to Odyssey. After performances in New York clubs, they hit it big in 1977 with the soft disco cuts Native New Yorker and Easy Come, Easy Go. Their music had a subtle Caribbean feel and, while their U.S. hits soon dried up, they had continued success in the UK, before the group fell apart. Other hits included: Going Back To My Roots, Inside Out, Use It Up And Wear It Out and If You're Looking For A Way Out.

2) A defunct psychedelic rock band from New York, USA. Lion Records' Setting Forth album of 1969 is the only album release by Odyssey. Less than 100 copies were originally pressed and even if one wanted to buy a copy at the time it was nearly impossible to find as it came in a plain white sleeve. ... Consequently, the original 1969 album is one of the ten rarest US psychedelic albums. Louis Yovino on lead vocals and Vincent Kusy on keyboards with Dennis Pennaga (guitar), Ray Lesch (bass) and John Willems (drums) ... signed to Organic Productions, part of the Richmond Organization, the label were completely at a loss as how to produce and market a rock band. ... Having supported many major headlining acts in their time (at one memorable gig they supported Procol Harum and totally confused the audience by playing their own tripped out version of A Whiter Shade Of Pale which the headline act didn't include in their set) the band called it a day in late 1974 with several members reuniting in the more classically progressive band Cathedral.
The sound is rightly described in the album's sleeve notes (written by keyboardist Vinny Kusy) as "the quintessential dictionary definition of the New York brand of sixties psychedelia - strong harmonic vocals, heavy swirling organ and infused with inspired fuzz guitar". ... Tracks like Church Yard and the cover of Janis Ian's Society's Child are the equal of anything on the first Vanilla Fudge album.
3) A progressive metal band from Sweden, consisting of Dan Swanö (Nightingale / Edge of Sanity) and Lord K. (The Project Hate / Deadmarch / Dark Funeral).
4) A eurodance project from Germany created and produced by Martin Koppehele and Giorgio Koppehele. It featured the vocalist Lisa Cash.
Odyssey released several singles such as "Riding On A Train", "Talk to Me" or "Move Your Body".
5) A pseudonym of Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou (Vangelis), when accompanied by guitarist Silver Koulouris (ex-Aphrodite's Child) and vocalist/songwriter Robert Fitoussi (aka F.R. David).
6) A pseudonym of Simon Donohue, a drum & bass producer on Good Looking Records and 720 Records started producing music at the age of 14, using 4 track tape machines, guitars and drum machines. At the age of 18 he landed a job as a recording engineer at a commercial recording studio. From there he entered the world of electronic music. He soon joined forces with Andy Smith and formed the Sunrise Society which went on to produce a number of Detroit Techno style EP's on London's Pacific Records. In 96 Simon went solo and started producing Drum'n'Bass under the name of Odyssey. His first D&B track Expressions was released on 720 records/ Logical Progression 2. Expressions quickly gained anthem status. While working at the recording studio ... an African percussion band inspired Simon to learn to play congas and percussion. This in turn, led to the production of a track called Ritual. Ritual was a fusion of D&B and manic African percussion which crossed over into all areas of the D&B scene being played by Blame, Goldie, Doc Scott and the rest of the MetalHeadz crew. Simon also produced more jazz influenced downtempo tracks for Good Looking Record's sub labels such as Earth and Cooking Records.
7) A newer name of a band formerly known as Oracle.

Into the Light
Odyssey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm standing in the darkness
I won't complain about my pain
But now it really hurts me
Give me a sign, will you be mine
Please take away those shadows
Take me tonight into the light. Don't let me be alone
It's shining through the night
Take me into the light.
Why don't you hold me tight
Take me into the light.
Into the guiding light
Take me into the light.
It's gonna be all right
I can't go on without your love
I'm standing on the outside
Clouds in the sky, they make me cry
It's time you come release me
Give me a sign, will you be mine...
The lyrics in Odyssey's song "Into the Light" express a feeling of loneliness and desperation for the presence of someone the singer cares deeply about. The singer describes feeling alone, standing in the darkness, and being in pain. However, instead of complaining, the singer silently suffers until the pain becomes unbearable. The singer pleads for a sign that the person they care about will be there for them and help take away their shadows. The chorus repeats the phrase "take me into the light," which symbolizes the hope for relief from this overwhelming feeling of loneliness and pain. The singer begs for this person to hold them tight and take them into the guiding light, where everything will be alright.
The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced loneliness and aches for companionship. The metaphorical use of light suggests there is hope at the end of the tunnel and that someone can help guide them out of the darkness. The melody is slow and mournful, evoking the feelings of sadness and desperation. Overall, "Into the Light" is a powerful song that allows the listeners to connect and empathize with the emotions expressed in the lyrics.
