Background

Before the band was signed, they were called Astronaut. As a result "Astronaut Versions" of several early BS2 songs exist. The "Astronaut Version" of "Two-Twenty-Nine" is available on the compilation Manna 2 Go (fifty280 records). An otherwise unreleased Astronaut song, "Albatross," is also available on Green Manna (fifty280 records)^{[citation needed]}. A musical ensemble is a group of two or more musicians who perform instrumental or vocal music. ... For other uses, see Astronaut (disambiguation). ...

Some reviewers consider Brave Saint Saturn generally more serious than the light-hearted FIF. As the former leader of FIF, Roper found FIF too straightforward fun for expressing feelings of loneliness and abandonment. BS2 is the platform for the more depressed and sad lyrics which Roper has written. "I've tried to show the redemption and peace of God through tragic things, I think overall the lyrics (of So Far From Home) are about … hope."^[1][2]

BS2 often uses the vastness of space as a metaphor for loneliness. With this in mind, the band uses NASA recordings and electronic samples on their first two albums.^[2] For other uses, see NASA (disambiguation). ...
