This is a two part set. The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence in the skies is depicted by the "heavenly" orchestration of the piano/string version of part one.
Part two represents, the fulfillment of the quest as depicted by the "earthbound" techno/pop arrangement and performance.
This still needs to have the vocals re-done, I got the idea to have the first vocal on time, and then repeated and arriving in "waves" by varying the timing and placement of the second vocs, ...trying to mimic the way that whales hear and then repeat Whale song, ...the melody itself was patterned after a whale song recording I had, ...seemed like a neat concept at the time, ...but it doesn't really work, ...oh well, ...I'll take it out and replace with a more traditional voc when I get a chance. this at least gets a bit of the idea across...

Some time ago, I read an article about a whale being caught in a fishing net. Exhausted, and injured, and trapped; the helpless creature was aided by some divers who began attempting to cut the net with knives.
The whale remained motionless while the divers worked to set it free.
Only when the final strand of netting had been removed, did the whale move.
Approaching, Circling, and gently nudging the hand of each and every diver. All the while spouting, rolling, and singing; as if to thank them.
And then it swam away...
We spend so much time staring up at the sky,
wondering; are we alone?
Is there a God in heaven?
Is there intelligent life?
What if the answer is here,
right here, ...under our eyes?

Some things will never change.
While some others,
just won't be the same.
I saw the whole world change.
With one touch of my hand.
Is there anyone else out there searching?
Can you dance to the song in my mind?
Have I grown enough,
to finally understand?
When I think,
of all the years I tried,
to find someone to satisfy
Is there someone there?
Or, am I all alone?
Just to think,
when I was young
I couldn't see how I could feel this way
Then you came from the space.
Right under my eyes
