about

WALL OF SOUND! SHOEGAZING! After years, I still find the songwriting and recording process fascinating. It's so odd how you have a vision of a song in your head but when you actually record it, it does not sound anything like you intended. It evolves many times for the better. I sooooo did not intend for this song to turn out this way. I wanted to do a Bowie sounding tune but that didn't evolve. This sounds like Bob Dylan singing with a shoegaze band. This is really 2 songs in one. I decided to combine them both together with a tempo change mid-song. I'm not real happy with the mix and there is some clipping but I'm heading off to a kayaking trip so I ran out of time. I would really love to spend weeks mastering this with all of the WALL OF SOUND going on!

lyrics

As I look to
The sky above me
I'm just a castaway

Anticipation
Communication
The mission's conveyed

The vibrations
Acceleration
Burn sequence engage

I'm going to sail the solar wind
And send the ground away


See the beauty
Sweet aurora
It's a psychedelic dream

Gravity's at zero
I'm a spaced out hero
If you know what I mean

I'm going to sit right back and
Watch the Earth go down

Never thought I could literally say
We're the highest ones around


Lights everywhere
Massive solar flare
Illuminate the heavens above
Loss of altitude
Now we're falling through
Mother Earth, here we come

She likes it when I'm home but now
I am burning
I can't feel a thing but her world
It's still turning, below
