Echoes to 2001: A Space Odyssey - The Star Child Sync

Continuing on with the Echoes theme, let's go back to 2001: A Space Odyssey and show a different sync to Echoes, one that fits well with the last two sets of Lyrics.

Highlights of the second set of lyrics include:

And no one tries and no one flies around the sun

Syncs to a bright light followed immediately by a yellow eye as if reflecting sunlight or looking into the sun.



This then shifts to a shot of a huge cluster of stars.


Highlights of the third set includes:

Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise

Oldest Dave tries to rise up in the bed his outstretched hand and finger trying to reach the monolith in front of him.


And through the window in the wall
Comes streaming in on sunlight wings

The wall is the monolith. And the camera does appear to enter the monolith, is it used for travel too?

A million bright ambassadors of morning

The Star Child appears in a brightly lit sphere

And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes

Refers to the Star Child. Note that we never see the Child blink his eyes, the lyrics commenting on that oddity.


So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the skies

We (the camera) enters the monolith and emerge above the earth.

Or even better, try it for yourself.
