Baha'i music from Finland
Star of the North was more a project than a band. The aim was to make an album of original pieces by Finnish Baha'is. This one is the English language version. There is another one in Finnish, ie. Pohjantahti.

Harri's translation of a poem by the late Jari Mömmö. This piece took more time to record than any of the other ones.
Lyrics
Moments Music by Pekka Okkonen Lyrics by Harri Peltola Original Lyrics by Jari Mömmö In the cycles of time I have circled around Moment by moment to where I am bound Moments have I reflected from afar Embraced them in my arms Moments have been this life of mine They glow and fade as time goes by A step after step I’m advancing ahead Hidden within me is each twinkling In every fleeting moment I hear a music Gentle and tender, The song of life, a melodious whisper In every fleeting moment I hear a music Gentle and tender, The song of life, a melodious whisper At times I yearn for what’s lost in the past Now I am what I am here at last I have feared for our fate and the future of man Shouldered them on my back Each moment conveys me a quality That existed not in my reality Away they disperse these moments of mine Mocking my attachments to time Temporal things have filled my mind With tears of joy and pain From now on I must leave behind My bonds of yesterday In the process of growth I shall find my way Each moment is a new beginning The break of day Once in a while a moment is matchless Then it is evening and an echoing silence Once in a while a moment is matchless Then it is morning and a dawning new day
