Songfacts®:

  • Frontman Martin Smith (from Cross Rhythms): "Inspired by watching the low budget film from New Zealand, Whale Rider, a great image of something or someone taking you further, going deeper. A strange phrase really but Eagle Rider stuck and became a story of flying up through the winds and soaring so high you can almost see into Heaven. A song about change, shift, repositioning and freedom. A song about rediscovery, of risk and of adventure. A great groove, something new for us."
