Fun and quirky space song and creatively quirky video. Enjoyed it.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

I haven't heard anyone reference skyhooks in years!  Cool write, the guitar solo fits perfectly with the quirky style. Nice outro, too!

Scott / Robert,
Loved it! Great song. Excellent vocals, guitar and production. It has a hint of early Bowie - very cool!
Another Spirit Level winner!

Hey Ya'll
As I said on Soundcloud, cool and quirky in the best of ways! A creative and innovative lyric. Somewhere down the road, this would almost certainly be a problem.
My favorite couplet:
They're playing Memories of the Future
on Fallout Radio there`s one station
I like that Robert's vocal is a little more out front than usual - I think that gives the song more "character" and validity, noting the message.
Scott, your guitar lead is spot on! Nicely done.
Nicely done, folks! Happy New Year!\

Very cool and original as per usual, Robert and Scott! Good lyric (love the "have a beautiful Ballistic craft beer" line  ) and vocal, and just the perfect guitar part, Scott. Loved the outro!

Unique, quirky, unconventional, space, and above all cool. Nice upfront vocal and I especially liked the slide guitar. The outro had the extra sauce. Fun listen,Tom

Very original concept, coherent narrative and killer execution. Really fun listen from beginning to spooky end. Enjoyed everything about it.

Plush opening, and I like when it cleared to bring in that cool guitar and Robert's vocal. Excellent and unique lyrics. Love your mind, Robert. Scott, your taste on what to play and your ability of technique in playing it is always so professional and creative. That interlude at near 2:00 was kinda cool how it was panned for the last 2 measures. Cool AI vidz, too. "A mansion from satelite debris." Yeah, the future. Hope we get a campsite near yours to keep our spirit level high.

Only Spirit Level can create this kind of a SciFi story. All of their songs create a unique and versatile otherworldly universe.
Cool chord progression, nice melancholy mood suits the folk approach. Scott's guitar plays memorable hook. Robert's vocals and vocal range are very enjoyable.
Very interesting intro & outro take to a journey through the debris.

Thought it would give a spacey signal kind of vibe.

I enjoyed this quirky song that has a serious message.
Scott, your guitar work is tasty throughout, as always, and the effects are "effective".
Cheers,

Scott and Robert, a very clever look at space debris.
Great recycling idea!
Fantastic ending
I really liked this song.
Tips on how to fall asleep in a living room chair:
1- Be old
2- Sit in a chair
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Cool opening. That guitar has an out of this world sound. Robert, this is one of your best vocals. And I have to say this is my favorite SL song. Fabulous lyrics.

out past the periphery
little darling its almost free
we`ll make a mansion
a mansion from satellite debris
Gold!
