The story behind the track:
A boy, travelling through the countryside at night, looks up and ponders the magnificence of the stars and his inability to reach them.
The sound of music draws him to a group of Spanish merchants, celebrating and dancing around a campfire. He gains an understanding of their melodies and joins the dance. They tell him of a man whose name and bearing he shares.
The boy falls asleep and dreams of flying amongst the stars. Finally, able to reach them, he discovers musical notes play with each one he touches. He tries to show the stars all he learned from the merchants, but it’s too difficult. The stars rush to his aid, first mimicking his tune, but soon adding their own melody to compliment his.
He wakes and eagerly tells the merchants of his dream. They, with the boy, combine all the elements of music together; the night journey, the fire-lit celebration and the stars’ song.
Dawn arrives. The boy bids farewell and journeys on, content with all he’s experienced and warmed by the sun.
