about

Two of my favorite bands are Radiohead and The National. This is an attempt to be influenced by them (a stretch no doubt). I'm also a fan of suites. This is my attempt to write one. I'm a fan of NPR and the little musical snippets one hears in NPR's programming. Another attempt there (imagine 3-5 seconds of this song). Another song about the end of the world.

This song has been mixed and mastered by Ilya Karmanov. His abilities far outweigh mine in this regard. Thank you Ilya! I recommend anyone who wants their stuff to sound better to hit him up. He is professional and responsive.

lyrics

The last ship is ready to go, we don't know but somebody knows
I stayed just as long as could or as long as anyone would
I think I packed just enough put some thought into packing my stuff
When we launch we're not coming back to collect the things that we lack
All considered, it could have been worse, we planned enough to give life a chance
The destination is kind of cool for this ship of fools
We're on our way now it's time to sleep
I stayed awake until we got pretty deep into space, it's the only way to pass the time and the days
I sleep, I sleep to dream, but it's always the same, but it's always the same, all things considered frame by frame
I sleep, I sleep to dream, but it's always the same, but it's always the same, all things considered frame by frame
All things considered, we're doing better, we're doing better, we're doing better, we're doing much better (2x)
Time has completely changed, how could we stay the same
It's difficult to know, we have a brand new home
All things considered, we're doing better, we're doing better, we're doing better, we're doing much better (2x)
