Pretty interesting and different lyrics, even though I heard "I can finish the dick" first and was a bit, um, worried shocked
But I like the song and the kind of esoteric mood you create.

What a cool lyric with so many memorable lines like “on our rocket renovation treasure hunt” and “close the galaxy blind
have a beautiful Ballistic craft beer.”

Excellent session guys, mix and the ukulele was a great choice too!

This was most enjoyable, Scott, and you and Robert were at your best in this one.

Excellent supporting video also.

Happy New Year!

Scott...very creative production...as usual the elements are laid perfectly in the mix...the guitar work is fantastic (always been a fan)...the Polynesian feel and touch are cool...ethereal to the max!

Scott,

I’m hearing some terrific intros tonight—no exception here. Really creative lyric . . . great idea and even better execution with some awesome lines, great images. Compelling solo. My favorite Spirit Level song . . . no doubt. Hits on all cylinders. Very cool!

Scott and Robert,

As always, I am impressed by Robert's high level of awareness of issues.
I believe that the issue of space debris will continue to trouble human beings even more.
First of all, I was surprised at how great the video was.
The usual style of vocals and guitar are added to it, making it even more wonderful.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Best regards.

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.

Janne
Thanks Janne. Yes Robert has a wonderful imagination and is so good at transcribing visuals to cool lyrics and vocals. Thanks for checking out the song and Happy New Year to you.

Scott & Robert,
I can't believe I have not posted feedback on this. This is actually my third time listening to it at different times. So no distraction this round smile

Amazing tune. I really like the theme. Fantastic lyrics & guitar playing. It is very different, less busy / airy arrangement tune and it works very effectively showcasing your skills. Very cool FX and ending.

Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Hi Scott and Robert,

What a good thought; making useful stuff from space debris!
And very creative too! For a song of course...
At the start of the song, all that splashing immediately gives an idea of all that rubble.
But you changed it into a most wonderful song, only Spirit level can do.

I enjoyed the lyrics, although they are -of course- a bit difficult to understand, even with Google translate.
Roberts' vocals are very good, a bit airy, but he was in space of course.
And Scott did a very very nice solo here. You are really a good team!
As Misha said, the effect at the end is very cool.

Thumbs up!
Hans

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
