about

This is probably the most accesible track on the album. It is a pop rock song that could easily have been included on my previous album, Harvest, had it been written at that time. It is about Tesla's departure from Europe and his later attempts to send signals back across the ocean. The guitar solo is played by Emil, who was guitar tech at my Harvest premiere concert.

lyrics

Leaving the old world
heading for the promised land
With great expectations

Lost all my luggage
All I had left was what I wore
And barely survived a mutiny

Arrived in New York
At the castle clinton fort
Queued up in a never ending line

Though I said Smiljan
They wrote 'swedish' in the form
granted permission to move on

Transatlantic
Transatlantic travelling

Please let me tell you
'bout this thing I'm working on
A wireless transmitter

Earth as conductor
almost perfect spheric shape
Allowing resonance around the world

A guy in Cornwall
Send a signal 'cross the sea
using my own patents to beat me

Let him continue
He is such a nice guy
But I wish he had ideas of his own

Transatlantic
Transatlantic wireless
