It's the exact same tune. It's even in the same key. Only in TSODE it's played on the Mike Oldfield Patented Guitar Tone #3 , and on Amarok, it's played on a penny whistle.
I just found it odd/funny that a melody that is so small, insignificant in Amarok, overshadowed by much more divine and memorable material, becomes a major highlight on The Songs Of Distant Earth. There are two possibilities: either the tune is, indeed, outstandingly fantastic, or TSODE is just an ocean of nothing. And if you say it's the former, then indeed, Amarok is the goddamn best album ever made.
