In his latest Tweet, Marty wonders:

"Has anyone ever figured out the meaning of the the words to “Eighth” which is also in The Hope?"

"I’m not sure any of the Alpha Lupi folks did."

There is still a mystery ^ (or two? I have not forgotten, this dates back a number of years - could be the same mystery?), which would be very fun to figure out.

Do we have any Music Majors in the house?

Specifically:

Has anyone ever figured out the meaning of the words to "Eighth" which is also in The Hope?"

Wait, I thought there were no words in Eighth... Wait, It's Latin! Anyone familiar enough w/ latin to be able to do this?

Listening to The Hope now. Yeah, there's no way I'm going to be able to transcribe those.

Yeah, now I can't help but think the lyrics to Hope for the Future are clues to finding some lost secret in the Vault of Glass. THANKS PYRO! ;)

Some hope for the future
Some wait for the call
To say that our destiny
Will be the best of all

And we will build bridges
Up to the sky
And heavenly lights
Surrounding you and I

Hope shines brightest in the dark
Where nothing's ever seen
Lighting undiscovered places
No-one's ever been

Edit: I've always thought the Alpha Lupi ARG was never fully solved. Maybe the latin lyrics were the final clue.

Glorious!

I'm almost at the point where I'm not sure I want to hear that story, it's like listening to your parents fight or something, but it seems like it might eventually be told.

Just skip that chapter in my Bungie book then.

By the time that is finally actually a thing I can read, and I'm old and grey, maybe I'll feel differently.

If I finish it more quickly than 6 years I'll be satisfied. Master of Doom took 6 years to write and research.

I'm going to eventually (soon™) do a blog post with my version of the entire Music of the Spheres story, but until then let me correct one detail. MotS was finished and ready to ship 5 years ago, December 2012.

Also, in that reddit thread, he commented saying he might do another AMA, and also mentions that he wants to tell his side of that story, possibly in his memoirs, and says that he didn't sign and NDAs.
