The Overview Effect

This song started from a thought to watch the Earth from space and seeing how all wars would seem senseless compared to the uniqueness of our planet. A little later I read that there is a name for this experience: overview effect. And thus it is also the title of the song. Thanks to Miira for giving her beautiful voice once more for my song. And of course BIAB, new harp RT is perfect for this one.

Lyrics:
I can see the lights
from a distance
from the orbit
It's a humbling experience to see
the overview effect.

But I don't see the cause for neglect
heedless of her worth
Lift up your spirit and pause
take a look on Earth.

I have seen the wars
the destruction of the forests.
I have realized
uniqueness sculptured in
our sphere of life.

[Chorus]

There won't come a second chance
no place to start over
I wish I'll get one more glance
at the skyscrapers in the clouds.

I can see one man
can't distinguish any borders
I can feel the love
for the land of fellowship
the soil of nurturing.

[Chorus]


Janne
