about

A track eight years in the making. I knew it was a good idea the moment I recorded the first demo, but it took me all that time to arrive at an arrangement and mix that does it justice. I must've revisited it five or six times over the years.

There'll be other versions of this floating around somewhere; previous iterations that I was only half satisfied with. Ultimately, I needed to rewrite the chorus to pull it all together.

So, what you're hearing now is a track whereby the verse vocals were recorded a full eight years before the reworked choruses. A testament to perseverance.
But that's it. Fait accompli. I'll not touch it again... I don't think!

lyrics

Here I am,
Adrift and I want to go far away from here,
Setting a course,
For destination unknown.
Lost in space,
The future is a beautiful endless sea of stars,
Without a trace,
Beyond the dark of the moon.

You can see forever,
Going Interstellar,
I reach for the future until,
This burnin' star,
We dream so far,
I'm falling in

Happenstance,
Gravity pulls me so far away from here,
Careening through the sky,
My destiny still unknown.
Endless night,
Whispered in the hope of a dream and the twinkle of stars,
Compelled to you,
Beyond the dark of the moon.

Like a supernova,
When the party's over,
Time will not stand still,
The deep unknown,
Draw me closer,
I'm taken in.
You can see forever,
Going Interstellar,
I reach for the future until,
This burnin' star,
We dream so far,
I'm falling in

about

Once Around Saturn Sydney, Australia

The nights were cold but electric on Rhea, Saturn’s second largest moon. All the cool kids would gather at the edge of the Splat, a large crater and centre of Rhea’s nightlife. We’d tune into Earth FM and listen to 80s pop; The soundtrack of our lives.

Year's later, I headed for Earth, networked with Earthling musician talent and fashioned a sound reminiscent of my formative years.
