| Story Behind the Song
 speaks for itself...
 
 as usual the song was recorded in my bedroom in a short session...
 LyricsAs he mounts the wood and sets his foot off ground
 He give quite a heroic impression
 It's an exciting mood that finally he has found...
 
 The paddle in his hand,
 and "out into the unknown"
 Never to come back no more
 That's why he was born
 
 And the trees by the river, in a snow white layer
 Covered, they whisper "goodbye"
 And his father's house sleeps, his beloved hills weep,
 But they all, they won't make him cry
 
 The paddle in his hand,
 and "out into the unknown"
 Never to come back no more
 That's what he's heading for
 
 So he drifts by the river, he sweeps through the land
 Passing mile after mile
 And he finally reaches the most poetic place to be
 It'll keep him for quite a while
 Paddling 'gainst brakers, he settles in a more quiet place
 Drifting again, and evermore
 The paddle in his hand, "don't need it anymore"
 He throws it away and forth
 
 He knows he's a hero
 And so he dies in consciousness
 Exploring places no one's ever seen
 He got what he's looking for
