Concept Info :
The
wake of Magellan is based on two real life events. The first occurred
less than a year before this album was released when the captain of a
freighter threw three Romanian stowaways overboard in the middle of the
Atlantic. A fourth stowaway was saved by the courageous action of a
deckhand, who risked his own life to protect the youth. The second event
regarded the Irish reporter Veronica Guerin who died fighting the
growth of the drug trade in her country. Her death may accomplish what
she could not in life. These events are combined into the story of an
old Spanish sailor, who has decided to end his life by sailing his
small boat out into the Atlantic until it sinks. In his mind he has
romanticized this decision as a glorious, Vikingesque way to die. When
the ocean winds push him into a great storm, and he believes that his
wish is about to be granted in a great dramatic fashion, he suddenly
sees a man drowning in the ocean. In an instant he finds himself taking
back every wish for death's embrace, and fights to save this soul.
After many twists and turns, he is able to save the stowaway that had
been thrown overboard. Returning to land, he now realizes that not only
every life is precious but also every hour of that life.
