"Redemption's Last Chance" by Elijah ROBERTS - song "Pursuit" [View all]

O.K., so I'm an enrollee of The University of YouTube. Skipping all the background of my currcula there, also am struck by stunning melodies. A year ago I searched high and wide to track down a piece of Baroque that was the intro to a "Perspective" video on that period, no luck. So over the recent past, in a video franchise of History exposes, there's been this hitherto not known piece (below) and finally got around to doing the Shazam on it, with the result that it is Redemption's Last Chance by Elijah ROBERTS. For the record, Shazam didn't work for the Baroque piece.

So googling on Redemption and Elijah ROBERTS, got nothing but the music videos on it. The second video below breaks down the (songs?) with their names, and my fixated one is named "Pursuit." I'll say this that when the first video started, my dog Lucky picked up his head and was hypnotized and head-turning, which before this he's only done to sustained choral things like Gregorian chants and low moaning music from a Chinese movie.

But there are usually unforseen twists, and in the search there was a scifi movie "Last Chance at Redemption" with no mention of Elijah ROBERTS (post #1). Who knows if there is a connection.

As for this first video, the album is named "The Past of Burdens" and what's with the ink blot cover pic - looks like Don Quixote (dental hat cut out) on horse Rocinante tilting in the background, ugh a single blade razor, ugh a noose?, anchor, blots? Who is Elijah ROBERTS?

At the 1:36 mark, "Pursuit"
