Re: "Earth Without The Moon"

Earth Without The Moon

OK, I think I finished these lyrics.

I have a pretty good concept of the musical progression of this song, but I am not talented enough to score it. I’m considering a Seattle trip anyway; maybe I can meet Kirk and the two of us can at least get a click track down for others to work from. I’ve started using the AcidPlanet software but am not proficient enough yet for this song – there’s 5’s and 7’s in there, somewhere

Third verse picks up the tempo; "interconnected orbits" is staccato and bridges into the instrumental section; "goodbye satellite" begins the resolution completed with the last half verse...

"Gazing at the stars leads to galactic aspirations
Howling at the moon became our lunar inspiration
But all within the solar system’s slightly out of tune
When we consider earth without the moon

Ancient lore and relics buried deep within the ground
Illuminate and demonstrate the wisdom we have found
A message from the ancients carved in stone in mystic runes
Never live on earth without the moon

Geopolitical altercations are a hyperactive display
Pessimists always predicting radioactive decay
Looking back I’ll have to say it ended all too soon
If we end up on earth without the moon

Interconnected orbits
Tides of history
Growing concentric circles
Escape velocity

Good bye Satellite
We will miss your light
Sanctify the night
God, it felt so right

Someday in the future we’ll emerge from our cocoon
And recreate our earth within the moon"

France always inspires me lyrically…
