It is 1987. Jack made it back to Earth. And now he knows Susan -whatever she is now – is still alive. But in the ruins of the Company’s fall, the world needs a miracle that might be beyond either of them…
BEGIN PROGRAM TWELVE MODULE FOUR.
What a beautifully dangerous ride…
Novas 3.4: A Million Grains Of Sand
01 Bic Runga – Beautiful Collision (2002, New Zealand) ENERGY BEING SUSAN
What a beautiful collision Things that go bump in the night With such beautiful precision Fate could create you and I Do you know what it means to abandon your dreams? To leave with the storms rolling by? How the clouds on this day come to take you away Till you're gone, gone far away from me Beautiful, beautiful night What a beautifully dangerous ride What a beautiful day we could hardly complain about what's going on in the sky What a beautiful collision Things that go bump in the night With such beautiful precision Fate could create you and I Do you know what it means to abandon your dreams? To leave with the storms rolling by? How the clouds on this day come to take you away Till you're gone, gone far away from me Beautiful, beautiful night What a beautifully dangerous ride What a beautiful day we could hardly complain about what's going on in the sky Move with the strangers that pass through your days If someone by chance should call out your name When you're lost in the places you don't care to stay A blinding romance to blow you away
Their desperate flight from the Corporate satellite to activate the Probe had ended in a cloud of fire. But Susan was changed into something else…
I’ve always loved this song.
02 Train – Drops of Jupiter (2001, USA) JACK (ON EARTH)
Now that she's back in the atmosphere With drops of Jupiter in her hair, yeah-yeah She acts like summer and walks like rain Reminds me that there's time to change, yeah-yeah Since the return from her stay on the moon She listens like spring and she talks like June, yeah-yeah But tell me Did you sail across the sun? Did you make it to the Milky Way To see the lights all faded And that Heaven is overrated? Tell me Did you fall for a shooting star One without a permanent scar? And did you miss me While you were looking for yourself out there? Now that she's back from that soul vacation Tracing her way through the constellations, yeah-yeah She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo Reminds me that there's room to grow, yeah-yeah Now that she's back in the atmosphere I'm afraid that she might think of me as Plain old Jane Wrote a song about a man Who was too afraid to fly So he never did land But tell me Did the wind sweep you off your feet? Did you finally get the chance To dance along the light of day And head back toward the Milky Way? Tell me Did Venus blow your mind? Was it everything you wanted to find? And did you miss me While you were looking for yourself out there? Can you imagine No love, pride, deep fried chicken Your best friend always sticking up for you Even when I know you're wrong Can you imagine No first dance, freeze-dried, romance Five-hour phone conversation The best soy latte that you ever had And me But tell me Did the wind sweep you off your feet? Did you finally get the chance To dance along the light of day And head back toward the Milky Way? But tell me Did you sail across the sun? Did you make it to the Milky Way To see the lights all faded And that Heaven is overrated? Tell me Did you fall for a shooting star One without a permanent scar? And did you miss me While you were looking for yourself? Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na And did you finally get the chance To dance along the light of day? Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na And did you fall for a shooting star Fall for a shooting star? And are you lonely Looking for yourself out there?
Jack is still trying to come to terms with their new relationship.
03 Sarah Maclachlan – World on Fire (2003, Canada) ENERGY BEING SUSAN
Hearts are worn in these dark ages You're not alone in this story's pages The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying And I'm trying to hold it in Yeah I'm trying to hold it in The world's on fire, it's more than I can handle Tap into the water, try to bring my share Try to bring more, more than I can handle Bring it to the table, bring what I am able I watch the heavens but I find no calling Something I can do to change what's comin' Stay close to me while the sky is falling Don't wanna be left alone Don't wanna be alone The world's on fire, it's more than I can handle Tap into the water, try to bring my share Try to bring more, more than I can handle Bring it to the table, bring what I am able Hearts break, hearts mend Love still hurts Visions clash, planes crash Still there's talk of Saving souls Still the cold Is closing in on us We part the veil on our killer sun Stray from the straight line on this short run The more we take the less we become The fortune of one man means less for some The world's on fire, it's more than I can handle Tap into the water, try to bring my share Try to bring more, more than I can handle Bring it to the table, bring what I am able
Susan watches from the stratosphere as the world spirals into crisis.

Jack searches for inspiration.
05 Tom Tom Club – Lorelei (1982, USA) ENERGY BEING SUSAN
Lorelei Maybe you'd like a little melody It's not the words that move me Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Maybe you'd like a lullaby Now I can't remember why Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Intuition's leading us Where I don't know yet Lorelei Lorelei Something's happening Hard to place it Hard to hide it Lorelei Lorelei What is happening I'm not sure I guess you know it Lorelei Lorelei Deep in the jungle of thought There comes a clearing And in the clearing There is a pool The pool is deep The water cool This is the thought The thought is you Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Intuition's leading us Where I don't know yet Lorelei Lorelei Something's happening Hard to place it Hard to hide it Lorelei Lorelei What is happening I'm not sure I guess you know it Lorelei Lorelei Across the wasted plain Across the twisted deeps Beyond the coloured lights The mountain looms The air is thin The door within The sea of light The light is you Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei
Susan has an idea.
06 Exchange – Where The Truth Lies (1991, Canada) JACK
A whisper in my ear A voice so strong and clear Upon this beach I see A million grains of sand And I believe we are destiny Bound to survive against all odds Out where the truth lies I will follow Out beyond this barren surround I cry without a sound Out where the truth lies I will follow my eyes Into the sun Sometimes I lie awake I dream of everyone Who walked the path I take Or ran beneath the sun And I believe it's my destiny Bound to survive against all odds Out where the truth lies I will follow Out beyond this barren surround I cry without a sound Out where the truth lies I will follow my eyes Into the sun And I believe we are destiny Bound to survive against all odds Out where the truth lies I will follow Out beyond this barren surround I cry without a sound Out where the truth lies I will follow my eyes Into the sun
Jack searches in the deserts of Australia.
This song – one of the few with lyrics from Canadian band Exchange – is the theme to the animated “The Legend of Prince Valiant” TV show.
07 Exchange – Eleven Eleven (2012, Canada)
Instrumental
08 Bliss – A Hundred Thousand Angels (2001, England) THE ARTIFACT
Do you hear me calling you? The voice of a mother and a father and a child Would you recognise the truth? Do you feel the love that's falling from my eyes? Take just a minute Come and rest here by my side Let me tell you your own story Let me walk you through your lives Only a second That's all it takes to realise There's a hundred thousand angels by your side There's a hundred thousand angels by your side Do you hear me talk to you? I whisper through doorways and pathways of your mind Clearly, like the morning dew I'm fresh from my journey 'cross an ocean of blue Take just a minute Come and rest here by my side Let me tell you your own story Let me walk you through your lives Only a second That's all it takes to realise There's a hundred thousand angels by your side There's a hundred thousand angels here tonight
Jack finds an Artifact from the same Precursor civilization who built the Probe.
09 Robert Plant – Shine It All Around (2005, England) JACK
This is the land where I live Paint it all over golden And take a little sunshine, spread it all around This is the love that I give These are the arms for the holdin' Turn on your love-light, shine it all around Turn on your love-light, shine it all around Oh, shine it all around Yeah yeah now Oh, shine it all around These are the times of my life Bright, strong, and golden And this is the way that I choose when the deal goes down And this is the world that I love Painted all over trouble Take a little sunshine Shine it all around Send a little sign now Spread it all around now Shine it all around now When the deal goes down now Yeah yeah now Oh, shine it all around This is the heart of the man And this is the heart of the matter Break a little bread now Spread it all around Come on Break a little bread now All around Oh, shine it all around Yeah yeah now Oh, shine it all around Oh, shine it all around Yeah yeah now Oh, shine it all around Send a little sign now Spread it all around now Shine it all around now When the deal goes down now
Jack returns to the Revolution with a new plan.
10 Heather Nova – Doubled Up (1994, Bermuda) ENERGY BEING SUSAN
I saw a mountain from higher above I held your hand And I was doubled up in love Big sky above me A river inside me And I'm doubled up in love You're watching your step But you fall as you're walking You take it in stride, but still You fall as you're walking Big sky above me A river inside me And I'm doubled up in love Feels good It feels like poetry Don't ask me to explain It just feels good Like poetry Doubled up again Look at the sky Lift off like an aeroplane And watch the ground come up to meet you Big sky above me A river inside me And I'm doubled up in love Feels good It feels like poetry Don't ask me to explain It just feels good Like poetry Doubled up again Big sky above me A river inside me And I'm doubled up in love Feels good It feels like poetry Don't ask me to explain It just feels good Like poetry Doubled up again Big sky above me A river inside me Big sky above me A river inside And I'm doubled up in love
Susan is ready to begin.
