Originally called 'Little Scurrying Feet Falling Off A Cliff' (the music suggested that) but, I thought I would give the little guys some hope in the end, that they can somehow learn a new unprecedented skill just at the moment of death and before the impending doom of their drinking buddies, and also, the 'little guy' could just be any of us in a much bigger, seemingly unalterable situation that is crushing our spirit.

The change in mood at 28 seconds is a group of them all gathering around and seeing one of their friends displaying some sort of levitating magic just by moving its tiny arms around fast. They have no idea what's happening, but are excited... and so they all try it with varying degrees of success, but the commotion at the Lemming Saloon is chaotic at least, and the sense of community, team spirit and camaraderie is very endearing and inspiring.

The ending, well, I'll let you decide what happens when they try and fly. I gave it a nice ending, so, if you send them to their death still, then I think that's pretty mean of you.

Certainly so after having a couple of minutes to be with them on their little journey through some sort of self-realisation and the possibilities if they just try something different than following the usual routines and what is expected of them. Shame on you!

So that's why this song is now called Lemmings Learning To Fly as opposed to them scurrying off the cliff... I bet you're glad you asked now?

Another song that was written for Diascorium but only as far as bass and piano. This is a crazy little thing for sure.
