This story is definitely in outer space - what some fans also had in mind with CHALLENGE.
But in this case the mood is more relaxed and without pressure. When the piano starts, I imagine some guys in a small space ship which is connected to a big mothership. You can see many stars and galaxies through the windows. When the rhythm starts, the small ship is released and starts travelling through space, still quite slowly. (One of the guys uses a touchscreen to steer the ship.) But it gets faster, and now there are some obstacles to pass (meteorites ect.).
At 3:10 (in the break, when the lead starts) the ship reaches a big object like a wormhole. It stops in front of that, and all guys look at the wormhole. Then it opens, and the ship flies into it. There is an extreme acceleration (at 3:30, when the rhythm comes back), the ship vibrates, and outside there are strange-looking objects passing, but too fast to recognize what they are.
At the end the space ship leaves the wormhole, flies very slowly again, and then you see the earth in front of the ship with many big ships surrounding. The last picture is the ship heading towards the earth and getting smaller and smaller from my view.
Wenn ich das Lied höre habe ich irgendwie einen Abschluss der Mars-Missions (Video-) Trilogie (Deep Down Below, Horizon). Sehe vor meinem inneren Auge wie das Spaceshuttle auf dem Weg zurück zur Erde ist, und wie es die gesammelten Kläge auf dem Planeten Erde verteilt
A guy gets to know that he lost a person he really respected and liked. After a while remembrances come that remind him of the good times when everything was ok and had lots of fun together. The stories of what happened to them are being presented…
Hey, an die DDB/Horizon Videos musste ich auch immer denken, und auch ich könnte mir hier mit Stellarium ein super Ende des Kurzfilms vorstellen.
Auf jeden Fall hat es was “spaciges”, auch schon von Namen her…
Die DDB/Horizon Trilogie hatte mit Wonders of Life bereits ihr Ende und außerdem war das rmb und nicht Rolf MB
Also ich find Stellarium einen der besten Tracks auf der CD, da er nen relativ simples Hauptthema hat und somit einprägsam und ne Single Auskopplung sein könnte. Allerdings fehlt mir das gewisse etwas, was mir das Lied zu nem Ohrwurm macht, wahrscheinlich gute und passende vocals.
Aber hier gehts ja um die Stories zu dem Track: also wenn der Titel nicht wäre, dann hätte ich keine Weltraum Bilder im Kopf. Aber durch das gleichnamige Computer-programm und eben diesem Namen hab ich natürlich auch Sterne im Kopf, aber eher die Sternenentwicklung mit Ruhe vor dem Urknall, die freiwerdende Energie, kurzzeitiges Gleichgewicht, dann wieder “chaos” und schließlich ein langsam erkaltendes und sterbendes universum…
This song is like a dream to me. It starts with me lying in the warm summer grass outside, in the middle of the night, watching the stars. The vastness of the universe is mind-boggling. All of a sudden I start hovering, and slowly at first, but soon accelerating, I fly off into space. I’m beginning a journey through space, that shows me strange worlds and planets, things nobody can even imagine. Everything goes very fast, the stars are often just little lights flying past me (like this old windows screensaver). I feel excited, but relaxed and free! Being free is the innermost desire of my soul. This song brings me closer to it. In the end of the song, I come back to earth. I’m still flying very fast, quickly evading trees and other obstacles, up and down grassy hills, and right through my bedroom window into my bed, where I wake up with a start.
ja, der name hat definitv einfluss auf die Interpretationen, lol! Ich glaube, ich hätte aber auch ohne den Namen an die Weite des Weltalls denken müssen.
Maybe you could hire some indians (from India, of course!)?
And I remember a picture with some guy holding a sign: “Will code html for food.” There must be someone wiling tul direct Videoclips for the same price. Especially in theses times.
A person wanders alone under a sparkling starry sky on a frozen sea a winter night in the north. The cold is severe, and his steps become heavier and heavier. He is dazed, the cold calls to him, cradles him. He becomes sleepier and sleepier, soon he can not stand upright, he is forced to rely on his arms. He creeps forward. Gradually he loses touch with reality and withdraws into a dreamy state. He falls asleep, he dreams. The starry sparkles becomes sharper and sharper, they start to pulsate.
0:43 He is sucked up towards the starry sky, disappears into a maze of pulsating celestial bodies.
2:41 It is still, he stands at a precipice. All he need to do is to take one last step and go to sleep forever.
2:55 He does not intend to give up. Slowly he starts to climb, back to Earth, to his body, to reality.
3:09 He open up his eyes, with renewed strength, he raises up and walk resolutely ahead! He will survive.
4:33 Left, right, left, right, left, one step, one more, forward, forward.
Haha, seems like more people than me thought about space and space travel I guess the name of the song kinda put your thoughts in that general direction though.
i have no special story for this song.
but its a song which can take you away from anywhere you are. it depends on the situation.
the speakers have to be very loud, and than i can dive into the sounds, the melodie and the speed.
for me, ive never connected ’space’ woth this song. i didnt know the meaning of “stellarium” befor. i just checked the translation now.
nochmal kurz auf deutsch, damit man auch versteht was ich meine:P
also ich hab keine spezielle story zu diesem lied. aber der track kann einen von seiner gegenwärtigen situation wegholen. wenn ich die boxen aufdrehe, dann tauche ich in die einzelnen töne und in den rythmus. gedanken bilden keine speziellen bilder, sondern “tanzen” zu den klängen.
Quite late but I was busy last days… Well this song for me is probably best song on the album: a mixture of relax piano melody and aggressive trance melody.
While listening to Stellarium I see a running man on the Olympiad - running for gold :).
This Song is nice! At the beginning I found the initial part of the song a little bit boring, but as time was running by, I liked it more and more. It has a pretty unique style, especially the melody is great. The backround part is thereby pretty oldschpool, but it sounds ok. A good song which maybe could be a little bit more Rolf…
I felt like I was at square, surrounded by very big stellas, alone…
The sky was overcast, that made stellas greater and higher.
I saw my life between those stellas…

Feels like humans getting to know extraterrestial life forms.
25. March 2009 at 21:10
In short: I am sitting in a spaceship, getting faster and faster. I feel free and I start a race with other spaceships…. of course, I win *lol*
