This is my favourite song in the whole show and it actually brings me to tears.
Thunderchild's crew probably knew they couldn't win, that they were going to their deaths if they fought and that they could probably make a run for it, but instead they stood their ground. They had a duty and were going to go out, guns blazing to buy time for the refugee fleet to escape. One last act of defiance so that all those people had a chance.

I got the book to WOTW, and I played this song when I read the "Thunderchild"
It was a little mixed with all the paragraphs, but it was pretty epic

I first heard this on a radio station in the late 70s in Texas while in the army. It was fantastic. I went out and bought the album. Now I have this video to charish too. It is one of the most fantastic pieces of music ever written. Thank you Jeff Wayne! Oh and by the way they don't plays stuf like this on the radio today. They play crapola.



Man, I have this album and the concert DVD. Been listening to the album since 1985. It is sheer awesomeness. They need to tour in the USA AND do a remake of the POS 2005 Spielberg version with a Jeff Wayne soundtrack. Set it in Victorian England, not New Jersey (although I understand why they set it in NJ since the radio version was set there) and totally steampunk it out. Justin Hayward, CGI Richard Burton, the world. UUUULLLAAAAA!

I hated how Thunder Child was left out of the 2005 movie
But you know all that shit about the shields I mean with the more modern time period without the shields the tripods would have gotten about 4feet
