Really loved this one. Both my mother and step-father who have listened to this song tons according to them did not realize this song had a huge influence when it comes to aliens. My mom of course wasn’t impressed. She is used to me. But my step dad whom I had the pleasure of replacing the steps in our home with recently (we live in a home that was built in the 1800s that was a hotel/bar that had the original steps) had no idea this song mentioned extra terrestrials. He loved this song and said he said he must have head it thousands of times not realizing what it said until I pointed it out.

Here is chatgpt 4-o’s thoughts on the lyrics
Yes, it’s definitely fair to interpret “Come Sail Away” by Styx as being about aliens, especially given the lyrics:
- “A gathering of angels appeared above my head…”
- “I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise, we climbed aboard their starship, we headed for the skies.”
Here, the narrator initially perceives what he sees as “angels,” but then realizes they are actually extraterrestrial beings with a starship. This moment reflects the classic sci-fi trope of advanced alien technology being mistaken for divine or supernatural phenomena.
