about

Home recording in the basement studio. Collaborative effort with Jason St. Claire (Daniel Striped Tiger) and AJ Barillaro (Anton Bordman, Lorna Doom).

lyrics

audience - universe
Carl Sagan had a gold record
there were only two pressed
a hit in reverse, not one voice sent to millions
the voice of trillions sent to one

sent a long way
on it was to show
who we are, what we do, what we make
when played it would be
who we were, what we did, what we made

i would like you to say nice things about me when i'm gone
i would like them to say nice things about us when we're gone

sent a long way
on it was to show
who we are, what we do, what we make
when played it would be
who we were, what we did, what we made

the goal was to make contact someday - a cosmic letter
if it ever found ears it would be too late
it would just help to be remembered

i would like them to say nice things about us when we're gone
to play our record and hear our songs
and maybe never know about the things we did wrong
