Remembering the Great Auk: A Tragic Tale of Extinction (Lyric Video)

A Dream Too Far (Lyric Video)
From the musical Lost on Infinity, by Rockford's Rock Opera.

Join us in a heartfelt journey as we remember the Great Auk, a magnificent bird that tragically went extinct on July 3rd, 1844. 🌍 The Great Auk, with its striking black and white plumage, was more than just a bird; it was a symbol of the vulnerability of species to human activities.

In our song, we explore the haunting story of the Great Auk, once feared by sailors as witches capable of summoning storms. Discover the heartbreaking end of the last breeding pair and their single egg, lost forever to history.

Our song, "A Dream Too Far," is inspired by this poignant tale, reminding us of our impact on the planet and the vital importance of conservation efforts.

Written by Matthew Sweetapple and Pete Weitz, this new version of ‘A Dream too Far' was released on the anniversary of the extinction of the Great Auk.
