More albums followed without the involvement of Rimensberger and released under the branding of 'Tom Galley, the creator of Phenomena'. The latest, Blind Faith, was released in September 2010 and a final production is scheduled for release later this year. Whilst all were well received, they were not comparable to the original Phenomena as they lack the typical concept story running through the whole album, international, mixed genre musicians’ matrix and multi-media links. In interviews Tom makes clear, that these albums released under a solo contract with the Escape label, of which a final is due later this year, should not be compared with the original Phenomena. He has recently joined forces again with Rimensberger and the 2 are working on the first real Phenomena concept album for 25 years. PHENOMENA was booked and promoted for its first live performance ever at 2014 SwedenRock. However, this is now under review for a later date.

Jukebox
Phenomena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beyond the horizon
Standing in silence
Hidden by dreams
Reach out
Keep wishing and hoping
Like for the taking
You can make it, believe
Jukebox
The land of music
Jukebox
Of fantasy
Jukebox
The land of music
Jukebox
Your wildest dreams
Halfway
Halfway to heaven
Out of the darkness
Into the light
Heartbreak
Sleepers awaken
A world of wonder
Behold paradise
Jukebox
The land of music
Jukebox
Of fantasy
Jukebox
The land of music
Jukebox
Your wildest dreams
The lyrics of Phenomena's song "Jukebox" describe the idea of escaping reality through music and dreaming, a theme common in many rock songs. The first verse talks about reaching for something beyond the horizon and hidden by dreams, encouraging listeners to keep hoping and believing in their dreams. The second verse describes the feeling of being halfway to heaven, leaving the darkness behind and stepping into the light of a new world full of wonder and paradise.
But what is the significance of the jukebox in this song? A jukebox is a machine that plays music when coins are inserted, often found in diners, bars or other hangout spots. In this context, the jukebox represents a portal to a magical realm, where music has the power to transport us to another place, as if we were taking a ride to a parallel universe. The repetition of the chorus reinforces this idea, with the music providing an escape from reality and a gateway to our wildest dreams.
Overall, Phenomena's "Jukebox" is a powerful anthem about the transformative power of music, encouraging listeners to embrace their dreams and let the music guide them to a better place.
