You gotta get clear
Erasin' all the fear of the past light years
You're a stranger now in this desolate land
Mission command, what's the plan? I'm only one man
One leap for mankind it's fine 'cause I'm blind
Tasting all the sulfur in my mind
I can't bear this air anywhere but I don't care
Suffocating is a prayer to declare
My race to space is the thing that I chase
Flying away from my birthplace
I travel to the end of my galaxy
Hoping to escape from all the fallacy
I wanna see something new in the dew
Of the blue sky drive of Planet 452
I wanna meet someone strange, someone out of my range
So I can change myself, and be rearranged
Space...
(repeat because I ran out of time to write more)
it's a vacation, in space
your sins will catch up to you.
You are suffocating. Please return to the lander module.
I found myself again without a path, without a purpose anymore.
The places I thought I knew feel very strange, everything is new.
I need some answers... what is happening to me?
What are these clothes? what are these walls? why am I so small? what am I doing here?
Can't seem to understand or even process anything around me at all.
I need some answers... what is happening to me?
What is happening...
"I'm not saying they should have sent a poet. I'm implying it."
"The perks of being an astronaut is the view. You would never get this back on earth"
This track is summed up as a kind of unique atmospheric number. The closest thing to ambient, without it being called ambient. It's got a lot of rich delayed synth and piano chords, 3 layers of pads, including orch strings, a choir and a synth pad, as well as a dynamic melody on 2 synths, with the other being counterpoint to the main melody. It's very simplistic sure, but remember this is only 56 BPM, and the track itself takes 30-40 seconds before any repeating happens. There is also a bit of a mismatch in time signatures, with the drums and bass being almost 3/4 and the rest 4/4. Th Lastly to keep it from being too chaotic, and to add a bit of emotional depth, i stuck it a dynamic piano finish, to slowly fade this piece off. All in all it's very cool, and has a lot of rich melodic material. Enjoy!
plug an electric guitar into the methane gas powered convertors. crank it up and drink acid.
It's pretty wild!
Step by step
Through the sandy desert day
The wind and rock endlessly in the way
Stumble once, see a glimpse of orange sky
In the distance, away the light flies
Step by step
As my fortune disappears
Step by step
I want to fall into my fear
When you're feeling down
When nothing's green around
Find the time
Find the time for a rebirth
When the grass is brown
And your spirit's gone
Share your pain, for what it's worth
Step by step
I keep moving
Step by step
I am falling
Step by step
I keep crawling
Step by step
I'll never stop looking for a way
