We've been searching for our whole lives.
And we have traveled through unexplainable stories.
Swear to God I fought the good fight,
always waiting for the coming of morning.
And I heard the Captain say, I heard the Captain say,
"The more I know, the less I'm knowing."
And I heard the Captain say, I heard the Captain say,
"Activate your force-fields and just keep going..."

7 ? It feels more like an 8 today.
It was equinox that day. It's equinox today. Might have something to do with it
There is a noticeable pattern this morning -
all songs in the last two hours or so are about space, exploration,
searching, traveling. As I am writing this, Bowie's Space Oddity kicked in.
As for this song - I have to give it 10, up from 8. It is one of the songs that made me fall in love with the RP (Bill played it a lot back then ❤️).
The more I listen, the more I know. But, as they say, "the more I know, the less I'm knowing".

Just need to say, I absolutely love this! Thank you!

There's a great article called "The Grain of the Voice," that talks about this. Add Neil Young to your excellent list.
Here is a link to that article. Not an easy read, but interesting.
I heard the Captain say
"We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"
For the Cloud Cult fans, I had to mention this. In April 2022, I got to listen to Cloud Cult perform with the Minnesota Orchestra. This was through Minnesota Public Radio. WOW! What an amazing show! I felt it in my soul. That good. Here's some links if you're interested:
Watch Cloud Cult with the Minnesota Orchestra live in concert
View the show through the Minnesota Orchestra website.

I started listening to the band because they seemed to have a lot of haters and I was just curious. I'm totally a fan now.
I adore the sound of the French horn. It transports a pretty interesting melodic line into an amazing, uplifting journey. What a fun track.

This is one of the many songs RP plays that grab me and make me sit and listen. To think about the world once I am gone. To think about the shortness of my life. And even tho this is true and you could arrive at "what does it all really mean" ... you hear the captain say .... "Activate your force-fields and just keep going" ...
No matter how bad life is or challenging or fleeting it can feel - you only real choice is to wait for the coming of the morning and keep going.
Powerful song.

It's a nine for me today, up from an eight, not that anybody should care or compare. Just, I listen to this station precisely for exposure to stuff like this. Different. Quirky. Excellent.
Maybe it's because the Perseverance Rover just landed successfully on Mars but, striking the right chord today, so, yeah.
Thanks.

This song was life-changing wisdom to me in my teens
Nice segue from Greg Brown... although these two artists are quite different musically, they live in the same soulful bittersweet loving universe.
Thanks Bill. I discovered this group here on RP a while ago. They are not very well known in Europe.
I swear I thought this was the flaming lips!
a great spiritual journey, this album.
Not a big fan if indie pop voices in general, but this is quite decent!
rilassante - eccellente antistress / grazie

Hey @ Radio Paradise! No other good songs in this album? Why always this one?
I've been a RP listener for years, and somehow, some way, this is the FIRST time I've heard this song.
So fun, and exactly fits my current mood. Hoping to hear it again in future. Thanks RP!

It’s not for everyone but this band has become one of my top ten favorites since first hearing them here. Stuff like this makes tolerating the influx of obscure (i.e., crappy) classic rock on RP worthwhile.

Very cool tune I would have never have been exposed to if not for RP. Reminds me of mid-1970s Yes a bit.
few bands are as grating as Cloud Cult....my Sonos does not support PSD, so deep silence is the only respite

NOT BORED!
Reminds me of Procol Harum.

REALLY bored with this one now. I quite liked it at first but the bombast and repetitiveness has ground me down.

I'm with you Bill... Innovative and intriguing. Please keep bringing us interesting tunes.
I dig the vibe, smooth take-off, cruise, then it hits the ion-engines and rockets across the RP universe...
Anyone else see Wendy, Peter, and the boys, on the album cover, flying off to Neverland?
nice segue from moby look back in!

Needs a movie to go with it!

This guy and Adam Duritz (Counting Crows) should form a whiners duo. Their vocal style is like grabbing you by the lapels and yelling at you to listen to their pain and suffering. 'Druther not.
Nevertheless, this tune has enough other good stuff going on. PSD not required. 7

Yesterday a 6 year old girl died. She was the class mate of my daughter and also a good friend of her and the family.
Just needed to hear the lyrics: "Activate your forcefields and just keep going." Really need to just keep going even when life seems so fragile and even useless.

I was listening to this album a lot when my first child was born. Then I read somewhere the singer was becoming a dad when he recoded it. I always think about that one now when I hear it.

Just love this group. Brought my whole family of 5 together, as CLOUD CULT was something we could ALL agree on listening to on long road trip from Atlanta to Boston. Waiting patiently for them to tour the southeast again.

The contrast between this song and the more recent piece that has been played here is rather considerable. That in itself sets this band apart.
Fun band to see in concert, although it has been a while since i've seen them live.
Sounds a lot like how I'd imagine Yes would have sounded if they were a more modern band.
Rather apt. Just as this track started in the UK Nasa launched the Orion Spaceship.
