Hi Beth!
I think the music backing and singing really supports the lyrical concept in this song - the backing - especially the pedal steel that swells - and the meter of the lyrics - gives a floating sensation, and that the observer has plenty of time to consider what's going on below. 'Fresh air' is ironic, and I wonder if you intended it, given the singer is inside a space capsule reliant on good air filtering, but it's not the ship's air filters that is stifling the breathing. One can't get more objective than from outer space!

The instrumental and outro have a very oriental feel as a result of the instrument choices which sounds cool.
Looking forward to the YT video!
Andrew
