The story behind the song

This song invites you on a wild ride, beginning with an explosion and a horse's neigh, setting the stage for an epic journey through history. The galloping bassline evokes the feeling of riding, aligning with the lyrics' call to "Come ride with me." Its title refers to the Cydonia region of Mars, known for a rock formation resembling a human face, adding a touch of cosmic mystery to its adventurous spirit. The guitar sound draws inspiration from the 1962 hit "Telstar," and the intro even cites the five-tone musical phrase from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. At its heart, this song plays like a grand, cinematic adventure.
