Distant Worlds 2 music video (CMDR ToCoSo)

A video I made to accompany the official Distant Worlds 2 theme song, created by Cmdr ToCoSo ( / tomcook )
LYRICS:
Oh the galaxy calls
A chant from the stars to come and live in the core
Oh oh, we'll jump together my friends
Every flash of lights another hand to carry the weight
Oh oh, jump onboard
Oh oh, enter those coords
Oh oh, we're the wandering souls
Come and lend a hand for the Distant Worlds
Oh oh ooh oooooh
Come and lend a hand for the Distant Worlds
Oh oh, take a blaster or two
'Cause in those pristine rings theres a fortune for you
We'll work together my friends
As the motherlode cracks this may come to an end
Oh oh, ump onboard
Oh oh, enter those coords
Oh oh, we're the wandering souls
Come and lend a hand for the Distant Worlds
Blasters fire and jump drives count
Voice comms fills theres a chatter about
The targets set and the works in your hands
Come and build a hope in the distant lands
Search those systems till there's nothing to find
Leave the trouble in the bubble way behind
This is your chance as the future unfurls
Come and lend a hand on the Distant Worlds
Keep an eye out for the upcoming Distant Worlds 2 mining community goal!

Distant Worlds 2 was the largest and longest duration group event I ever participated in, in any game, across all the online games I've played starting in 1996 through today. I'm so glad I joined up!

[@dcsignal5241]

Video lasted longer than Frontiers servers. 💀

[@TurjanStarstone]

LOL :D

[@NingaubleTube]

Proud to be in the Elite: Dangerous community. Arguably the smartest and highest quality gaming community out there.

[@TurjanStarstone]

I'll second those sentiments CMDR! o7

[@johnpooky84]

I'll third them!

[@VerticalBlank]

Lovely Firefly vibe with the guitar.

[@TurjanStarstone]

The man's a genius I say - a genius!

This is something I will miss, nowadays you wait for a carrier to take you wherever you want to go in a matter of days. Sure, there is still a point in doing the solo adventure off into the uncharted dark, but the pilgrimage to Sag A*, Beagle Point and Colonia will never be the same, and I did never get to experience that era. Sure, it is nice to have ships that do 50+ ly jump with no sweath in the bubble, and it would be nice that long distance travel can be done in 2/3 of the time with engineering, but as carrier make that 1/10th, *shrug*

[@TurjanStarstone]

When I went out on the first Distant Worlds Expedition, I had an Asp Explorer with a jump range of 33.31LY! It was a different world back then for sure :)

[@johnpooky84]

My first expedition (which I didn't think to do a video series on, but I took lots of screenshots) was in my Clipper, and I think it had maybe a little less range than Turjan's AspX. My 2nd expedition (which I have a series on) was in my Anaconda, with a little over 60LY for jump range. I'm on my third expedition now (with a video series), and my Krait Phantom can do 64LY, and 68LY unladen. Recently, I was in a nebula, and jumped into a system that, much to my dismay, had a Fleet Carrier there. I flat out refuse to land on one of those things, or even drop out of supercruise near one. Part of the reason I leave the Bubble is to BE out there, by myself, with only my wits, and what's on my ship. I don't want a mobile space truck stop every few hundred lightyears.

What a fantastic moment when we all launched into hyperspace and this song came on, on Dr. Kaii's stream! Even the connection error that followed couldn't make me sad. Haha.

[@TurjanStarstone]

Server crashes have become part of Distant Worlds launch lore - it wouldn't have been the same without one! ^_^

[@thespectator1243]

Dr.Kaii send me here. Awesome. Thanks, Turjan! :D

[@TurjanStarstone]

Cheers - Tom Cook's an amazing composer isn't he? :)

Best combination since fish and chips! 🏆

[@TurjanStarstone]

lol Thanks 'Bot!

[@78tx]

This NEEDS to go on Distant Radio 3305

[@TurjanStarstone]

I'm sure it will! :)

[@orion-enigma3272]

ill pass it on for thier autoDJ

[@TheProrokpl]

That's my BELUGA!

[@TurjanStarstone]

Indeed it is! =)

[@bboorraass]

holy crap, that was epic

[@TurjanStarstone]

Thanks CMDR! Tom's the real genius here of course, I just added some pretties to look at as his awesome music plays :D

[@nyx7432]

Beautifully done :) Gods speed to everyone venturing out into the distant black.

[@TurjanStarstone]

Cheers Nyx! o7

[@10KTat]

awesome vid and love the ToCoSo tune too

[@TurjanStarstone]

It's amazing - but then all Tom's stuff is! =)

[@CMDREagle131]

Great work, cmdr!

[@TurjanStarstone]

Thanks! =)

[@Jfunkey]

Makes me all excited about Distant Worlds going back at it again! Maybe I'll sign up for Distant Worlds 3 or something. I've really had the exploration bug for a while now.

[@TurjanStarstone]

The galaxy is a patient mistress, she still has a lot of secrets hidden away for the future :)

[@davidkennedy6208]

We've hit the motherlode with this one guys, that was great!!! Turjan and Tom and Cassie, working together in perfect harmony, side by side squeezed on board, oh Lord, why don't we??? (It needs a little work, but get Tom on my lyrics he'll soon get it sorted. In space there's no copyright laws!)

[@TurjanStarstone]

Tom can weave a musical story from but a single word, and you've provided a whole sentence there ^_^

[@essaitch1969]

This is fantastic. Awesome work!

[@TurjanStarstone]

Thanks! :)

[@antwan1357]

Turjan you really wow . That looks professional. Why aren't you making movies? If a player paid you to do a biography movie would you do it? Like their are eve online players that have been on the news and star citizen is too early . I don't know any legendary players in Elite Dangerous yet. I'm rambling good show!

[@TurjanStarstone]

Thanks! I don't have much experience with music videos - this and the Ballad of Turgan Sandstone are the only ones I've done really, so it's a corner of videomaking I'm not terribly familiar with. This one seems to work okay though, and of course it certainly helps that Tom's song is just so awesome!

[@NoOneCares2k]

Very nice, sir!

[@TurjanStarstone]

Thanks! :)

[@quuhod]

Catchy tune and great video Turjana!

[@TurjanStarstone]

Thanks Q! :)

[@TadoChip]

Awesome work!

[@TurjanStarstone]

Thanks Tado!

[@LuckyLuigi]

I love it !

[@TurjanStarstone]

o7 =)

[@SteamValve496]

Just Great, good luck out there.

[@TurjanStarstone]

Thanks, it's going to be quite the trip! o7

[@ibanix2]

Well done!

[@TurjanStarstone]

Thanks! :)

[@DoveEnigma13]

Nice!

[@TurjanStarstone]

Cheers Dove - there's even a clip in there of me leaving the Dove Enigma Megaship from the same o7 landing pad you arrived there on =)

[@DoveEnigma13]

Beautiful. Great song too

[@SpencerRoberts]

Didn't know there was an official song!

[@TurjanStarstone]

Greytest asked Tom to write a song that was primarily for the mining CG at the core - I didn't know myself that it had become the official song for DW2 until Dr.Kaii referred to it as that on his stream! :)

[@scoobylew24]

I still think you should have included at least one disconnect screen. Haha well done ;)7

[@TurjanStarstone]

LOL True - it just wouldn't be a Distant Worlds expedition without the odd total server crash :D

[@Nyroxis]

Set: Infinite loupe. Till Beagle Point

[@TurjanStarstone]

Don't forget Tom's other Elite songs too! They make an excellent travel playlist together :)

[@Ramotttholl]

Thanks Turjan :P

[@TurjanStarstone]

Thank Tom! =)

[@Ramotttholl]

@@TurjanStarstone Thank you for sharing it.. and Thanks Tom! for making it. now did he also made the video?

[@xinosoakdown363]

Great video Turjan! I take it you are going on the DW2?

[@TurjanStarstone]

That's the plan, yep :)
