Navigator is the mellow and serene moment of hope on "Into That Good Night", giving a moment of calm before the crushing final track. The lead vocals on this track are sung by Riikka, and the lyrics are a collaboration between her and Toni, based on the initial reflections of Riikka upon her first hearing the composition by Jussi K.
Toni: "The video was an ex tempore thought of Jussi H. The idea came to him suddenly during the evening after shooting the promo band pictures for the album, late in summer, at the Backwoods cabin. We were warming up the wood burning hot tub stove at the beach sauna, and the smoke from the chimney, flowing past a beacon-like light caught Jussi's eye. Jussi made me run to fetch the camera from the main building some hundred meters away, and we did the video then and there, without any preparation, using a broken garden chair as a camera stand.
The atmosphere of that late summer/early autumn night's still, calm darkness alongside the floating plumes of smoke is captured rather well, I would say. What you can't see from the video is Mikko, Nino and Sami soaking in the hot tub just three meters away..."
