about

I am immobilised by a brooding dark sky while a thunder storm approaches. It nearly destroys the ship. I sit there in shock looking at the pieces of the craft hanging off the sides, while more rumbling below makes me fear I may sink.

When the storm clears (4:20) hope returns and the I survey the damage.

(The 'storm' is played by 'shaking' the left hand over the bass strings on the mighty Stuart and Sons piano, whilst playing the other parts with the right hand. Overtones from held notes are used to emulate the sun coming through the clouds again (4:20).)
