about

"Just before he made the other side, he saw himself on the shore" samples elements of "Have You News Of My Boy Jack?" a poem written in 1916 by Rudyard Kipling and performed as a song by Louis Kirkby-Lunn in 1917. 

lyrics

4. Just before he made the other side
Saw himself on the shore
One last time

Would you rescue him
Hold him in your arms
Lift him high
Until he died
Is this the thanks I've earned
for a billion years?
For a billion ye

Now the food is gone
The guards all disappeared
Open gate through sheeets of rain
Streaming into tears
of a billion years
of a billion years

"Have you news of my boy Jack?"
Not this tide.
"When d'you think that he'll come back?"
Not with this wind blowing, and this tide.

"Steam powered fantasia with a touch of the wild, wild west and one of a kind mechanical instruments. If Melies had been a songwriter instead of film director, his music would probably have sounded something like this."
