I beleive this is the right meaning for the track name as you can see in the video, they are flying around "acting outside of usual restrictions" not passing each other blank checks :stongue: |

One of the masterpieces of science fiction, for those of you who haven't read it. |

For Solar Stone, I'm not sure if it's derived from the sculpture of Michaelangelo, but the way they came up with the word is interesting...they needed a group name on the spot, so they opened up a nearby bible, pointed to one word, opened up again, and pointed to a second one. The 2 words happeneds to be Solar, and Stone.
:D |

"We needed a name and had 20 minutes to think of one as the record company were putting together the sleeve artwork to 'The Calling'. We had a book about mythology in the studio for some reason, so we closed our eyes, opened the book at a random page and upon that page was an image of a painting by michaelangelo called 'The Solar Stone', and that was that!"
So actually I was pretty close. Its a painting, not a sculpture :toothless |

The translation is correct and Schiller is the name of a great german poet, already dead since some time ago. 100 or 200 years don´t know exactly. He wrote a poem called "Die Glocke" ------so, Glockenspiel............... |
