| Yes – Homeworld (The Ladder) Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
There possibly is a second meaning to this song, but this was the music used on the computer strategy game Homeworld and it does follow a lot of the main plot themes of the story. A tale of disaster and conflict and arriving home. The race you play in the game explores space, breaks a covenant they didn't know existed, gets their planet destroyed, scours space for their ancester's homeworld, fights a vast, corrupt empire, meets other races in space and befriends (or defend against in some cases), then eventually they spawn a revolution on the corupt Empire's core, the player's ancester's homeworld, stolen thousands of years before. The song deals more with the technical and emotional aspects, the reaching for the stars, the achievement and wonder of returning home, as well as realising your ancesters came from afar |
