    As the song goes: "This world is not my home..." If it is a Christianity thing, I get the first one with the angel wings and the earth off in the distance, but then the 2nd one with the earth over some native americans doesn't make any sense to me. Whats the connection?

    I think the first one fits better thematically, but the wings combined with the dot (moon?) totally looks like an "A" to me.

    You also have your type placed at the exact same size in the exact same place on both covers, but its in a completely different context. You need to make the type harmonize with the image, not just place it on top. Personally, its way too big to me, especially on the first one. The type is also very thin and light. I'd consider trying some really wide letterspacing to push this feel more. The ruins are falling and your just floating away on a cloud or some shit like that.
