	I think the book is "The Starseed Transmissions" by Ken Carey...it has to do with messages from a sort of interdimensional or alien race, that has come to help mankind go through the transition into a New Age...a Starseed is a sort of alien soul in a human body, on a mission...

	One of the very few songs I like by OLP. I love the tune, riffs, and beats of this song. Like a really good party song. And the video was shot on the Clay hills near my hometown Brampton. The area is actually called the "Cheltenham Badlands"

	Its basically a religion songs, raine's take on religion. the name comes from the book starseed transmissions:"Not a whole lot [is behind the song]. The lyrics are my take on religion. I'm into a lot of meditating. My Dad was Catholic and he tried to school me in that, but I never really caught on. I'm always interested in religion and the way it effects society. The "Starseed" thing is about going out on a meditation journey and coming back with something tangible. Something you actually believe in. Something that means something to me. In Western society, trying to have that incorporated into any religion would be hard to accept. Most people are hard pressed to change their views. I realized with my Dad you can't change the old dog." - Raine Maida

	it's based on the book The Starseed Transmissions by Ken Carey....the song can be seen as sort of preparing for what is coming in the 'new age' ahead

	GCrocks... Playa means the lead singer of OLP wrote this song about his views on religion.
