A side mission of looking for ancestors is to visit the places where they lived. This song describes involved feelings.

List of before selected weekly songs:
#1 Talk Talk - Life's What You Make It
This is my first song of the weekly song selection. My choice is, I think, pretty random, but I do like piano intro, because it is so catchy.

#2 Camel - Stationary Traveller
I have been having mood swings lately, so I chose this song rather than another. Stationary traveller is me - I am where I am, but in fact I am dreamly drifting towards my longed Andromeda, because there despite many light years from tenderness, no one would see a man in shyness. The selected song is also the last song in Tomasz Beksiński's radio broadcast from 12 December 1999 - son of the famous Polish painter Zdzisław Beksiński.

#4 Peter Hammill – Been Alone So Long
Do you know the feeling when you have accepted your situation on the love market and you do not really want anything anymore, you do not expect anything from life, from anyone, but still there will be a strange feeling, a strange emptiness when a couple in love passes by? Has your own coolness to eventualities just begun to melt away? This is how I have been feeling lately and this song describes it.

#5 The Alan Parsons Project - Voyager
A voyage to Andromeda is not reserved only for me. You can also take part in it. This piece describes your reverie. You are standing in front of your spaceship. To enter or not to enter. You are inspired by the hope of unforgettable views, unearthly feelings and the unknown that the song can't add.
You flew into the asteroid belt. Quick training in controlling a spaceship was probably not enough.. Ha, in fact, there were none at all. This journey is spontaneous, just like your yoke movements. Still, you move this metallic body like a paper airplane, and the on-board computer puts the sounds of an interesting style of rock under your actions!

#7 Michel Legrand - Thème Principal
"Is this the first time you have wanted to give up?". You are woken up by this words you heard in your dream. You rarely have dreams, but this travel requires the use of hibernation. Does the subconscious want to tell you something? Despite the technology of the future, the greatest mystery is still the man himself... 1/*

#13 The Caretaker - We Don’t Have Many Days
We live in controlled countries, I live. Everything is only hidden. We are boiling like frogs, and the grey eminences are pressing against us more and more. Freedom is becoming less and less. I am bothered by everything. Life has never been a movie, but why the hell can not it be good for a longer time. What is all this aiming for? Control, control.. And it is all as if we were living in a frenzy. Where is my happy pills? Incomprehensible and unfair.

In memoriam.

#15 Kapitan Nemo - Wynurzenie (Emergence)
The wake-up call was not accidental, you check the entire flight procedure, the condition of the equipment and yourself as well. The Andromeda galaxy, although one of the closest to Earth, is still 2.52 million light-years distant. There is still 3/4 way to the destination... 2/*

#19 Slowdive – Prayer Remembered
You have something that I am missing. You go and know what to do, have a plan, have a will, a thought, a desire, a recipe for what should be done. I feel empty at this moment. It was not given to me. I am waiting for something. I think, try, create words that I say to someone, but then silence again. I do not know what to do. I stay in silent and embrace it, look around, maybe in admiration, but probably only ahead. I do not have this gift and it hurts me, or maybe gotten rid of it, or it is not my thing. Some dark clouds are floating around again. I could just as easily write directly, but i would get rid of myself. Reflecting after encountering spirituality, your tangible spirituality throughout this weekend. But there is a seed of hope..

#20 Renaissance – Opening Out
It is nice to be listened to, especially when the listener has kind eyes to fall into.

#21 Midnight Oil – Put Down That Weapon
Are we living on the eve of war? I feel that maybe not in a day or week, but it will potentially happen. I am talking about a world war here. Today, due to globalization, hardly any war does not concern us. There is a lack of neutral ground, decisions that unite and not divide the parties, and mutual cooperation in this short life. Unfortunately, money and megalomania reign supreme. Remember that: "power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely" - Lord Acton.

#23 Sviatoslav Richter - Prelude and Fuge: No. 8 in E-Flat Minor, BWV 853 (J.S.Bach)
Nostalgia, but for what? On a day like this I have a certain longing. With a thought, although not mine, I return to the past of this country, of this nation, but not for what is written in all kinds of books, but for what is not there. For what my heart wants to describe and to which cold shivers condense. For something that was, or maybe never happened. I was not there, among poverty and hunger, blood and pain, but I miss the hands that embrace mine, the country road that does not end and does not begin through thick milky fog. I would like to stay in that peace without being in silence, be free, but not lonely and tell myself honestly that although I should fly away to warm countries I do not have to do it. Your place is where your heart.. I miss the eyes, I fall into them and although they are deep I am not afraid of heights. They only appear in my daydreams, are the creation of conscious thoughts, or maybe I am mistaken.. I do not know what is true, the days seem to be a page torn off from the calendar, not something that really happened..

#24 Cocteau Twins - Amelia
The evening spread its night hands. I turn around in surprise at the glow. It is a figure, dressed in a white dress, that stretches far away. She runs, but moves as if she were levitating, as if she were dancing.. I can not see her hands, but she holds them out to me. Her face is bright, the glare blinds me. I feel that her lips appear on my, like a picture on a photosensitive material. Now, I do not mind the chill of the evening anymore.
