Story Behind The Song
This is essentially a "space love song," focusing on someone who's been floating out in space, searching for companionship, and finally sees a beacon of hope. The imagery of space represents the insular loneliness someone can feel when searching for love.
Song Description

Lyrics
What a long journey, searching through all kinds of space.
Shimmering lights on the way.
Beautiful sights through distant places, inside and out.
But there's overwhelming silence, so I wonder:
Is there anyone on this frequency?
I've been transmitting for so long,
But I haven't received any messages.
Could I really be alone?
I never thought I was really the only one.
Now I have to wonder...
It's pitch dark, and no one was answering
But now I think a signal comes after so long...so long.
So long, yeah, so long waiting.
So long, so long.
So long, so long waiting.
So long, so long.
The halo that surrounds you opens up the night.
The halo that surrounds you saturates my mind.
Saturates my, saturates, saturates my mind.
So long, yeah, so long waiting.
So long, so long.
So long, so long waiting.
So long, so long.
The halo that surrounds you opens up the night.
The halo that surrounds you saturates my mind.
Will our journey be very long?
