Title: Children of the Sun (track 05) Artist: Billy Thorpe Album: Children of the Sun Year: 1979 Label: Msi Music/Super D Lyrics: People of the Earth can you hear me? Came a voice from the sky on that magical night And in the colors of a thousand sunsets They traveled through the world on a silvery light The people of the Earth stood waiting Watching as the ships came one by one Setting fire to the sky as they landed Carrying to the world Children Of The Sun All at once came a sound from the inside Then a beam made of light hit the ground Everyone felt the sound of their heartbeat Every Man - Every Woman - Every Child They passed the limits of imagination Through the doors - to a world - of another time On the journey of a million lifetimes With the Children Of The Sun - They started to climb No more gravity, nothing holding them down Floating endlessly, as their ship leaves the ground Thru the walls of time - at the speed of light Fly the crystal ships on their celestial flight On their celestial flight.. + Informações

Side 2 of "Children of the Sun" was re-released in remixed and remastered form, but it omitted the first side of the original "Children of the Sun" album as it was not part of the COTS rock opera. This sub-par re-release more importantly completely omitted the ENTIRE second installment of the series, which was the complete "21st Century Man" album. What you are hearing now is part of that 2nd installment. The space trilogy should not be told without this important middle section. The OFFICIAL track list for the Children of the Sun rock opera is as follows: 1: Children of the Sun (from "Children of the Sun") 2: We're Leaving (from "Children of the Sun") 3: We Welcome You (from "Children of the Sun") 4: Solar Anthem (from "Children of the Sun") 5: The Beginning (from "Children of the Sun") 6: 1991 (from "21st Century Man") 7: Solar Dawn (from "21st Century Man") 8: We Were Watching You (from "21st Century Man") 9: 21st Century Man (from "21st Century Man") 10: She's Alive (from "21st Century Man") 11: Rise (from "21st Century Man") 12: Earth Calling (from "Children of the Sun Revisited") 13: Turn It Into Love (from "Children of the Sun Revisited") 14: Free Enterprise (from "Children of the Sun Revisited") Note that side one of the original "Children of the Sun" LP, the final track from "21st Century Man" (In My Room) and the final track from "Children of the Sun Revisited" (East of Eden's Gate) are not considered canon.

Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs - Poison Ivy 1964 , A cover of Lieber & Stoller's "Poison Ivy" is rightfully honoured as Australia's first ever 'beat boom' hit, reaching number one on the national charts, and remaining an oft-compiled classic of the era. As happened with so many other Aussie cover versions of songs made known by significant British groups of the time, The Aztecs' version of this Coasters original outshone the record upon which it was based -- the Rolling Stones EP rendition. www.milesago.com. + Informações

I'm not sure who made this animation, but I put the music to it. This is a short animated film about an unknown virus that has destroyed almost the entire human population. Oblivious to the true nature of the disease, the only remaining survivors escape to the sea. In great ships, they set off in search of uninhabited land. So begins the exodus, led by one man ...

While researching more on Billy and this song, I was shocked to find out he passed away on February 28th, 2007. He was only age 60 and had a massive heart attack. His song will live on in my heart forever as one of the most amazing space operas ever done. I couldn't find anything about artists that played with him on this album. Rest in Peace always Billy.. + Informações

Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs live at the Opera House Australia, 1974. Lyrics: VERSE 1: Well, once I was happy and had a good wife I had enough money to last me my life And then I went on a wild women spree They taught me to smoke and to drink rye whiskey CHORUS: Cigarettes and whiskey and wild, wild women They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women They'll leave you with heartbreak, they'll leave you with pain. VERSE 2: I went down to Texas and walked down the street I had a shirt on my back and shoes on my feet But I met a young girl from down the levee Well she taught me to smoke and to drink rye whiskey. CHORUS VERSE 3: Well, once I was happy and had a good wife I had enough money to last me my life And then I went on a wild women spree... you know They taught me to smoke and to drink rye whiskey (sing it!) CHORUS x 3. + Informações
