Fire In The Sky - Alderon Tyran

  • Finally finished this song that I've been working on for a few months! I first heard this song as a young kid and I give it credit for my fascination with space all throughout my childhood and, by extension, youth. This song was originally written by Dr. Jordin Kare and originally released in 1983 in the album "Minus Ten and Counting". The version, I listened to as a kid, and thus expanded upon was an extended re-recording of the original, was released in the collection "To Touch The Stars: A Musical Celebration of Space Exploration", published in 2004; Sung by Kristoph Klover. My optimism for space hasn't yet failed me and I'm constantly excited by the advancements SpaceX is making so it felt proper for me to get this video out before the first flight test of Starship.
    Lyrics:
    Prometheus, they say, brought God's fire down to man
    And we’ve caught it, tamed it, trained it since our history began
    Now we’re going back to Heaven just to look Him in the eye
    And there’s a thunder ‘cross the land and a fire in the sky
    Gagarin was the first back in 1961
    When, like Icarus, undaunted, he climbed to reach the sun
    And he knew he might not make it, for it’s never hard to die
    But he lifted off the pad and rode a fire in the sky
    Yet a higher goal was calling and we vowed to reach it soon
    And we gave ourselves a decade to put fire on the moon
    And Apollo told the world we can do it if we try
    There was one small step and a fire in the sky
    Then two decades from Gagarin, twenty years to the day
    Came a shuttle named Columbia to open up the way
    And they said she’s just a truck, but she’s a truck that’s aimin’ high
    See her big jets burning, see her fire in the sky
    Yet the gods do not give lightly, of the powers they have made,
    And with Challenger and seven, once again the price was paid.
    And the nation watched her falling, and it killed our will to fly
    As our dreams fell burning, as our fire left the sky
    Nearly two decades of mourning, we knew again we’d have to try
    But Columbia had fallen, ‘cross that early morning sky
    Though we all must move on someday so now we raise our eyes
    To our new space rockets, streaking fire across the sky

    Now the most grandiose of starships, we have built and now we fly
    And they land themselves daily, and rise again to places high
    And now we look to leave our cradle, to take our place among the stars
    As now reach but further, Bringing fire down to Mars.
    See the rest is up to us - there’s a future to be won
    We must turn our faces outward, we will do what must be done
    For no cradle lasts forever, every bird must learn to fly
    And we’re goin’ to the stars, see our fire in the sky
    Yes, we’re going to the stars, see our fire - in the sky
    Yes I’ll Remember, Until I Die
    Our Fire in the sky x2

    I finally got this song I've been working on for a few months done and just in time for SpaceX's launch tomorrow! I decided to try and actually use video for once in a video (crazy I know) and I hope y'all let me know what you think of how it turned out! This song has been a favorite of mine since my childhood when I first heard it. One of the few songs that stuck with me through the years. This song is not mine originally and was written shortly after the Shuttle program began in '83, with the details mentioned in the description. I definitely recomend you check out the original artists' versions!
    I hope you enjoy!

    "The United States has finally.. found her purpose."
    "From Osea and America, Israel and Arabia!"
    Prometheus, they say, brought God’s fire down to man
    And we’ve caught it, tamed it, trained it since our history began
    Now we’re going up to Heaven just to look Him in the eye
    Up our Fighter goes, see that ASAT in the sky
    Belenko was the first back in 19-seven’six
    When, like Cipher, like a man, he wished for a new life fix
    He knew he might get shot down, ‘cause it’s never hard to die
    But he split from his crew and rode that fighter in the sky.
    But before that, a tough one called and we vowed to beat it back
    And we gave ourselves a decade to go and challenge the Foxbat
    And Irv Burrows proved the US, we can do it if we try
    There was one afterburner and a fighter in the sky!
    And three decades from the Mustang, Thirty two from yesterday
    Came a fighter christened Eagle to come open up the way
    And they said she’s a missile truck, but she’s a missile truck aimin’ high!
    See her big jets burning, see that fighter in the sky!
    Yet the gods do not give lightly, of the powers they have gave,
    And over the skies of the Negev desert, once again the price was paid.
    Israel watched two falling, and it killed our will to fly
    But 957 landed safely, from that fire in the sky!
    After Foxhound came in, we knew again we’d have to try
    But Hyvonen had fallen, ‘cross that Scottish morning sky
    Though we all must move on someday so now we raise our eyes
    To our brand new EX, with her AMRAAMs in the sky!
    With over a hundred to zero, she knew she needn’t try
    But even so, we still gave C a goodbye
    Seventy-four years later, our Eagle still can fly
    This ancient bird’s afterburner - Her (improved!) fire in the sky!
    See that fighter in the sky?
    Now the most grandiose of fighters, we have built and now we fly
    And they land themselves safely, and fight again in places high
    And now we look to leave our cradle, to take the place of absentees
    With our Eagle still living, all from A to Silent E!
    See the rest is up to us - there’s a future to be won
    We must turn our faces outward, we will do what must be done
    For we say hello to Raptor, Eagles evn’tually learn to fly
    And she’s goin’ to the stars, see her fire in the sky
    Yes, she’s going to the stars,
    see that fighter in the sky
    Yes I’ll Remember, ‘til I Die
    Our Fighter in the sky

    A little bit edited with newer lyrics, love the originality of it though. I was expecting towards the end with a lower pitch and higher pitch voices, maybe an electric, different guitar playing different pitches, just to make the ending perfect, and although that is what I was expecting and would have enjoyed seeing it, you kept it original, like if the man just had his guitar and was just singing as he flew to mars.

    Interesting version, never heard the modified verse about 'Challenger and seven' or the two verses after it before. Are those yours?

    Hello, i know my comment will be not seen but i will try. I am from Bulgaria, for us Macedonia is a big pain. We have a lot of songs about this beutiful region. There is one called "послушайте патриоти", we will be very happy if you made it with the same pain how we feel it
