The Chapters

Three of the songs, "Streets Of Gold (Chapter 14)", "You Know I Know (Chapter 12)" and "Worlds Apart (Chapter 16)," were the last part of a second series of eight songs that Saga included within some of their albums called "The Chapters," which told the story of a young Albert Einstein. These songs were included on The Chapters Live, an album that the band released in 2005.
