One of my more recent pieces, recycled from scraps of leftover work. When I sat down and themed it, and recomposed it into a full length song, I ended up with a real gem.
It's all about looking up at the sky and yearning to go to space in an upbeat, pop-y expression of wonder.
This song is intended to have a mid to high range female singing lead. However, no recordings have been done to date with anyone, and a piano substitutes the lead and 'backup vocal' notes.
lyrics
(These Lyrics are represented by the primary piano track. Notes are syllable-cadence and begin at the 55 second mark.)
Hey, oh what is that?
Is it, something that's new?
Please tell me, I gotta' know.
Tell me what, what does it do?
Stars, all above me.
Mysteries I'm gonna' solve.
If, I want knowledge,
It's a test, of my resolve.
'Cause I wanna' know.
And I wanna' see.
And I wanna' do.
And I wanna' be.
And I wanna' try.
And I wanna' fly.
And I want-
And I want-
And I want-
And I want to do it all!
I have such endless questions filled with possibilities.
Things that I do not know yet but couldn't you please tell me?
Please answer all the questions that buzz around in my head.
Given that when we solve one three more will appear instead.
Space, the black above.
It's like, a foreign love.
So unknown, but beautiful.
You can't help, but lose your cool.
Books, tell me so much.
But I know it's not the same.
That's, why I'm going.
If I don't, I'll go insane.
'Cause I wanna' know.
And I wanna' see.
And I wanna' do.
And I wanna' be.
And I wanna' try.
And I wanna' fly.
And I want-
And I want-
And I want-
And I want to do it all!
I have such endless questions filled with possibilities.
Things that I do not know yet but couldn't you please tell me?
Please answer all the questions that buzz around in my head.
Given that when we solve one three more will appear instead!
I have one more question...
Can you answer that?
Just another question...
Can you answer it?
Hey another question...
Could you please tell me...
Please a final question...
Then I'll leave you be!
I have such endless questions filled with possibilities.
Things that I do not know yet but couldn't you please tell me?
Please answer all the questions that buzz around in my head.

Quirky chip tunes collide with atmospheric strings on the musical component to a dig, fight, explore, and build game. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 5, 2013
