Great Auks were mysterious, statuesque seabirds that lived in the frozen northern seas of Iceland. They were hunted by sailors for food, but it was also believed they had supernatural powers. As a result, thousands of Great Auks were killed as witches to ward off Atlantic storms. Great Auks were made extinct by humans in July 1844. They paired for life and the men who killed the last breeding pair and smashed their eggs knew that these were the last birds in existence.

Written by Matthew Sweetapple and Pete Weitz, ‘A Dream Too Far (The Song of the Great Auk)’ is released on the 178th anniversary of the extinction of the Great Auk. It is a new version of the track that appears on Lost on Infinity audiobook.

Description

‘A Dream Too Far (The Story of the Great Auk)’

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.

‘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.
