The four founding worlds of the United Federation of Planets are Earth, Vulcan, Andoria and Tellar. Everybody knows that. But we didn't actually know this until Enterprise season four!
Brannon Braga called Mike Sussman for a quick question, hey, who were the founding members except Earth and Vulcan? Sussman, who was a real Trekkie, and also a writer and producer on Enterprise, had to make a decision:
> What flipped through my mind was that it had never been established, but there had been a lot of fan speculation going back to “Journey to Babel” that many of those races … were among the founding members. For that quarter of a second I’m thinking, “What do I tell him? If I say it’s never been decided, he might make up a couple of new races and that might set certain people off.” So I basically lied to him and said, “Oh yeah, it’s Andorians and Tellarites.” He put it in the script and now it’s canon!

Enterprise was a brilliant concept, tying together our spacefaring history with Star Trek and imagining how a NASA-like space program plus warp on the way to Star Trek might look, and how the four founders of the Federation struggled and finally came together. It has brilliant actors, costumes and sets. Even the Xindi species were a cool concept.
And then they wasted three seasons on the awful awful Temporal Cold War, a big bundle of bad and incoherent ideas.
After a 20-year break I am now watching Season 4 and it is brilliant. It's everything I expected and felt robbed of when I first watched the series.
The song is great and fits well with the lo-fi, contemplative atmosphere and pacing.
