I could listen to this song over and over. Actually, that's exactly what I'm doing.

This makes me want to go make and bury a time capsule.

@chakramsoldier This is based on a letter Captain Robert found in his childhood home written by his 8 year-old self at a time when he was being abused by a seriously psychotic older brother and his parents were going through a divorce. At the time he was reading it, he was stuck in a job he hated and was struggling to make ends meet, and it got him thinking that it was never too late to pursue his dream of being a musician. Very moving lyrics to this song :)

Yep, this song brings many a tear to my eye. I'm afraid I'm upsetting the eight year old inside me. No job, no prospects... Lost my imagination along the way... I'd be disappointed in myself... Sadly no peace comes at the end of my song....

[ArchangelAzrael13]

This song's incredible!

Wait a second... This is Track 09. Track 08 was Chronofax, talking about how you can talk to your younger or older self. And the line "One day I'll be you, though I'm only 8 now"... I'm thinking Chronofax was basically a nice set up for this song. The little boy and the man are one and the same. Each one learns from the other, with the man learning to make his life worth living the way his childhood self always dreamed of doing. It's.... genius. Beautiful. Take your pick.

Bring's a tear to my eye. That's not easy to do, but Abney Park seem's to be able to do it so easily...

[Pazuzuking]

Maybe my Fave song! This is almost 50 yr.s. worth of music inside my head!

@narutoancillus They've been having Jody sing a lot more than their previous female singers. A great choice, since her voice is so beautiful. So at first, her part is kind of a recap of Robert's regret, his thoughts of despair at what his life has become. The second part, Jody's duet with Robert, is all about the hope and joy he feels after listening to the little boy he used to be, and taking his life back.

First few seconds sounds like Philip Glass!
