Astral Projection in Music

[MadLordNad]

I was wondering how many songs and artists we could name which mention Astral Projection. Maybe get a list compiled for a good CD to burn.

Here's two off the top of my head from the Classic Rock genre:

Magic Carpet Ride -- Steppenwolf
Dream Weaver -- Gary Wright

[CaCoDeMoN]

Tool - Lateralus
Radiohead - How to disappear completely

[paker7]

Edge of Sanity - Purgatory Afterglow - Twilight

I close your eyes and whisper Goodbye.
You will never see how I cry.
I can recall what you said to me once:
If I leave there will be a sign
And the twilight will show me tonight.
From dusk to dawn. That's when we arise.
All souls forlorn, come down from the skies.
We're called the mist by the human race.
But we do exist in a million ways.
OH I'M IN THE TWILIGHT WORLD TONIGHT
AND I OBEY THE MOON.
I'M IN THE TWILIGHT WORLD TONIGHT.
THE MIST WILL DANCE AND THE ELVES WILL SING THEIR CROON.
My eyes will not believe the sight.
They dance in trance this magic night.
The sound that did enchant my ears.
I feel my eyes release the tears.
I know the answer now. To die, I am
no longer afraid somehow. And now I know
that there is another way for me to go.
And now they show that there is life in the afterglow.
I can feel the presence of the unknown side.
The shivers infest my body. This cannot be denied.
OH, WE'RE IN THE TWILIGHT WORLD TONIGHT...
No way! This can't be a dream!
I pinched my skin to make sure I was awake.
What I see might be too much for me to take.
They dance in a circle just above the ground
and I can see you and it looks like you're still alive.
Somehow you seem so relieved.
A nightbird chasing the shadows fly right through your body
and then I know that you don't really exist.
You're just a reflection in this midsummer dance.
I feel my heart pounding faster ever than before,
I must have stopped breathing. The image of you fade.
And now I know why had the strong feeling that I must find
this place you once described and to see your final dance.
Will we ever meet again? No!
OH, YOU'RE IN THE TWILIGHT WORLD TONIGHT...
They fade away and so do I.
You're gone, I'll always wonder why you came
and made me realize that you exist there in the twilight sky.
Is this a dream or plain reality?
It feels more like a trip to what I never thought I'd see.
Suddenly fear took a hold on my mind.
I had to move away unless I would go blind.
OH, YOU'RE IN THE TWILIGHT WORLD TONIGHT...
I, I know the answer now.
To die I am no longer afraid somehow.
So fade away...

Hey, MadLordNad...  

Funny running into ya'..   They let me in too.  -     lol

The only one I can think of (and I can't even remember the melody to this) is Wisdom Chain by Jon and Vagelis.

Doo da, da
Did we know the Seven Rays throughout reality
We see how wonderful releasing it is.
Do we cross the Great Divide that spellbinds us
To one degree, this further dimension it is.

Locked in our memory.
Locked in the wisdom chain.
Locked in our memories.
Locked in the wisdom chain.

Or at least it sounds like it..

Hi people  
I adore this music and text of Nightwish and you?

A nocturnal concerto
Candlelight whispers me where to go
Hymn of gathering stars as my guide
Whilst I wander on this path of the night

Embroidery of the stars
Undress my feelings for this earth
Send me your salva to heal my scars
And let this nakedness be my birth

Macrocosm poured its powers on me
And the hopes of this world I now must leave
The nightwish I sent you centuries ago
Has been heard by those
Who dwelled in a woe

The distance of our bridal bed
Await for me to be dead
Dust of the galaxies take my hand
Lead me to my beloved``s land

Departed by the guillotine of death
I received a letter from the depth
The dream of my lover it carried inside

Caressed by the sharpest knife
I asked you to be my wife
Rays of the setting sun
Were my tears wept upon promises undone

Come to me
Make me believe
To you and your love again

Above the universe
Beneath the Great Eye
I shall desire you forevermore

Hi people  
I adore this music and text of Nightwish and you?

Great title - Astral Romance and beautiful music, but Tarja's vocal is a little too operatic for my taste (maybe it's because i'm used to growling/screaming vocals from death, doom and black metal).

[heter]

All of The Alpha Conspiracy reminds me of astral pojection, but it is not based on it.

[MadLordNad]

Hey J.K.  

[J.K.]

Small world, isn't it?  lol

Good to see ya, Mad..

[S7]

Kula Shaker - Hollow Man

"Looking down upon the bed, suspended by a silver thread, I'm breathing."

Live - Supernatural (a cover of someone elses song I think?)

"Out of body experience, I flew around a hospital room once, on intraveineous Demarol, it ain't supernatural...supernatural or maybe."

[jason]

Yes-Astral Traveller.

Steve Vai-Blue Powder.It's an instrumental,but Steve descibes an experience in the cd liner notes (passion and warfare) under that song heading.

[Legend]

Interestingly enough, a group of music is really what got me looking after astral projection.  Notably, the group's name is called "Astral Projection"

I was wondering how many songs and artists we could name which mention Astral Projection. Maybe get a list compiled for a good CD to burn.

Here's two off the top of my head from the Classic Rock genre:

Magic Carpet Ride -- Steppenwolf
Dream Weaver -- Gary Wright

[ARCHDRAGON]

i like all kinds of music but but i think led zeppelin's stairway to heaven describes astral projection pretty good.

[Telos]

I'm surprised no one mentioned "Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down.

I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time.

[BirthOfTheNight]

Judas Priest - Dreamer Deceiver (this song is ALL about Astral Projection).

[MadLordNad]

I can see references in:

Comfortably Numb -- Pink Floyd

[S7]

I can see references in:

Comfortably Numb -- Pink Floyd

and also Learning to Fly by Pink Floyd :

a soul in tension that's learning to fly
condition grounded but determined to try
can't keep my eyes from the -circling- skies
tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

above the planet on a wing and a prayer
my grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air
across the clouds I see my shadow fly
out of the corner of my watering eye
a dream unthreatened by the morning light
could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

there's no sensation to compare with this
suspended animation, a state of bliss
can't keep my mind from the circling sky
tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

[MisterJingo]

Led Zeplin - Kashmir.

[S7]

One more....

Iron Maiden : The Apparition

[MadLordNad]

and also Learning to Fly by Pink Floyd :

I can't believe I missed that one...

Brian Transeau's "Giving up the Ghost."

It's time to give up the ghost.
