17M views. Thank you for all the comments ! Remember, we all live aboard a huge spaceship called Earth that sails through the cosmos while circling around the sun at 100.000km/h. Much love to you folks.
We sail through endless skies Stars shine like eyes The black night sighs The moon in silver trees Falls down in tears Light of the night The Earth, a purple blaze Of sapphire haze In orbit always While down below the trees Bathed in cool breeze Silver starlight breaks down the night And so we pass on by the crimson eye Of great god Mars As we travel through the universe
Im 40 now. I remember being 13 and went to a class field trip to some water park. I didn't go into the water. I just put on my headphones and jammed to the cassette tape player. I had Blizzard of Oz and Paranoid tapes.
The nature of the vocals is meant to invoke the speech of aliens. The song is about a fleet of alien ships that travel through the universe, looking for others who are ready to do the same. The song explains that they have just discovered Earth, but they bypass it. Why? There are a couple of hints as to why: first, the moonlight is described as falling down like tears, invoking sorrow. The second and most important clue comes from the lines, "And so we pass on by the crimson eye – Of great god mars". Mars is described not as a planet but as a god, and if you know your Roman mythology, you will know that Mars was the god of war. Hence, humanity, which is still embroiled in war, is not yet ready to receive the amazing gift of advanced technology which would allow them to join the fleet of universal explorers, the planet caravan. The aliens are saddened by this, because of the distance they've travelled, only to find a species not yet evolved enough to join them. It is a sad, chilling and beautiful anti-war song.
I hope whoever reads this will join me in the painful realization of how young they were when this song was made and how it was released 50 years ago and some how we are accepting the garbage that's out now.
Listening to this song in a dark room thru headphones with just the pale moonlight creeping in the window…. Feeling the raw power of a beautifully crafted song..
You know what I enjoy most about this song? (after listening to this on almost everything), Ozzy never finishes the last word, "Universe". It just drifts off forever into, well, the universe.
Time and Space Unfathomable Floating thru a Cosmos emmearsable like this song is unable to be fixed to a period in time just drifts along with us thru all of it. Peace on Earth

We sail through endless skies
Stars shine like eyes
The black night sighs
The moon in silver trees
Falls down in tears
Light of the night
The Earth, a purple blaze
Of sapphire haze
In orbit always
While down below the trees
Bathed in cool breeze
Silver starlight breaks down the night
And so we pass on by the crimson eye
Of great god Mars
As we travel through the universe

"Marco Hietala – Lullaby"
Marco singing "Planet Caravan" as a lullaby to a baby. Sweet!

Listened to this while i was peaking on mushrooms, the most insane experience.
This song should be considered a drug.
Timeless , Eternal Classic
This needs to be remade with a sideshow of the James Webb telescope pictures.
Pink Sabbath, Black Floyd
Magnifique mélodie pour te rendre hommage , mon Jean-Paul , tu es parti si rapidement à 58 ans , je ne t'oublierai pas <3
