(i like to sing in lots of different vocal "styles". this is just one of them. please use good earbuds. apologies if the listener hates the song. this is one of about 90 songs where ive used the biab/rb/reaper combo in the creation of a song. i just enjoy creating songs.)

BACKGROUND TO PONDER WHILE LISTENING TO SONG.
1. the following info is a result of many interesting discussions years ago with very talented profs.
per einstein, all is relative. maybe in truth in all the galaxies out there are huge numbers of very advanced civilisations possibly hundreds of millions of years ahead and advanced of us.
on the other hand there are probably many civilisations way behind us.
2. think on this. some maintain that a alien ship crashed in 1947 at roswell.
could it be that there is linkeage between this and what happened in 1945 two years before ?
(do some reading research on oppenheimer and atomics on google for detailed info.)
3. also think about the fact that some might consider that a planet has reached some sort of technological sophistication/maturity when it discovers atomics/nuclear etc etc.
could it be that the craft that crashed at roswell was in response to it being noted out in the universe that earth had come of age ? as in "wow lets send a scout ship and see what the hey is going on with earth".
possibly in the same way as most countries on earth have police stations dotted around , maybe throughout the galaxies are listening posts and/or manned stations ?
4. i think , if i remember we did some calculations once years ago. there is a 2 year difference from 1945 to 1947..ie action and reaction. and, if i remember the calcs indicated the first alien civilisation (or possibly a listening post) based on this 2 years time frame might indicate they might be 15 trillion miles away. or a few light years. however we all felt definitely that we are the only ones who exist in our solar system.
in addition there are some people who maintain that we are the aliens "zoo". maybe ?
ie in the same way we take the kids to our zoos , they visit us in their ships with their families.
this might explain the many ufo sightings. as in "oh lets go visit those silly earthlings that still use ancient propulsion systems to send their astronauts into space".
personally i suspect weve been monitored by advanced civilisations for hundreds of centuries....
in the same way earth parents closely monitor their children growing up.
i also suspect within the next 20 years due to even seasoned pilots seeeing ufo's....
that finally we will be told the truth behind the phenomena. until then its fun to speculate.lol.

DETAILS :
1. so...this is my little contribution to the never ending debate as to whether aliens exist...lol.
2. this is the type of song i enjoy creating...ie...starts off "soft" ...then drama starting at 1m33secs.
(WATCH YOUR LEVELS)...then it gets "soft" again....then at 2m38secs...
BAM !...all heck breaks loose...lmao.
(AGAIN WATCH YOUR LEVELS)... lots of fun i had.
but the song was lots of work !
3. note...the alien FX at begin and end of song were created by me from scratch.
(i mean..who knows what an alien sounds like...lol. please tell me what you think of the alien sounds/fx.
i like them...but others might not.)
4. the song concept is... i would like my own intergalactic spaceship...and travel the galaxies makeing friends and doing rock..lmao.

please feel free to criticise. i'm a big boy...i can take it. i just do my best with each song.

"...come and join me."
Of the intro section the upward emphasis/question tonality of that line, even when repeated, doesn't fit.
It comes across as insincere/bad acting to my ears - and being from the country that gave the world neighbours et al, I've heard a lot of it.
Apart from that I really liked the piece and wanted it to go longer, go somewhere else on its journey.

RayC.
thanks for listening to the song.
RE..my lyric "come and join me". ive never seen neighbors.
so i'm a bit dumb on this aspect.

but, if someone friendly said to me to join them on their spaceship, i would be there in a flash as the techie in me would love to learn bout the propulsion system used. lol.

fyi at uni we used to have loooong discussions about potential propulsion systems includeing
matter/anti matter and magnetics and anti gravity etc etc. all fun debates.
best, and every happiness to you.

Yes, creating songs is fun Very good sounding rock opera song, nice vocals, fun effects. Fun lyrics also, tea - reminds me of Hitch-hikers Guide To The Galaxy and a game based on it where "you have no tea".

I believe that intelligent aliens are more like giant clouds of particles floating in space, something we can never communicate with or even realize that they are living creatures.

Janne

OM,

I enjoyed when the BAND really kicked in @ 2:37...

Being an "alien song", I thought you might have used some spacey synth sounds.... give BIAB a chance to do a little "goin' crazy"....lots of opportunity for that here...

fj

Muso,

Fun, offbeat tune. Ohh please continue your journey and let us know what you see on your way. (Part II?) Listens very well.
I think alien chatting at the end could be slightly longer and louder.
Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

jannesan and Rustyspoon
thanks for listening, and your nice comments.
i can assure you they arent in our system...who would want to live on pluto ...lol.
maybe i'll get egg on my face, but i think finally we will learn more bout ufo's etc in the next 20 years. theres just too much info on the net etc....and preassure on governments by people.

floyd.
thanks for listening and commenting.
very good comments.
actually i tried lots of "spacey" synths , but found nothing that cranked me up..
includeing lots of 3 party synth plugs i have.
just nothing seemed to work.

so...when that happens to me when i'm creating a song i take it as a message from the "recording gods" that twasnt meant to be...lol.

actually my concept for the song..if i ever could afford to do a pro video , was for a lad on a mountain looking wistfully at the sky, wishing for a friendly spaceship to come so he could travel the galaxies.
a childhood dream of mine...lol.
when i was a kid i imagined ships might be 50 miles wide..then i imagined they might be the size of a cereal box....its all relative ...lol.

om,

Clever and a joy to listen to. Great mix!

Bob

Hi Muso,

I enjoyed your song very much! A beautiful melody combined with lyrics to create your own fantasies.
After hell broke loose at 2:38 I hoped that part would have last a bit longer. for me you could have played at least a minute longer! And that means you made a very good song.

Hans

Excellent tune. Loved the lyric. Loved when the guitar kicked in. Well done

justanoldmuso

Man I really like your approach to music making! It seems your always thing "out of the box".
This is a cool song that is a real pleasure to listen to! it sounds great to me with a stellar vocal! Keep on rockin' Thanks, Torrey

Bob, Hans,Scott ,and Torrey
thank you for listening and your very nice comments.
it encourages me to write more songs...lol.
i guess the song reflects lots of ideas i had when i was a kid....my wife says i never grew up..lol.

just imagine rocking out with a great rock band touring the galaxies in a massive spaceship....lol.
apologies for not thanking you earlier, ive had some sort of allergies.
i often feel writing songs is a difficult endevour.
lots of work as we all know.

fyi, i really wrestled with the song arrangement originally as to how complex or simple to make it.

every happiness to you all.

That was a heckuva writeup not to include the lyric or BiaB tracks or production info!
We enjoy reading that stuff ... really Especially lyrics for those of us like me (Bud) with ancient ears!

I just figure that "they" will eventually show up (again) and stomp us like a roach while "saying" something to the effect of, "well that didn't work out."

Nice epic stadium feeling sound.

J&B

dear Janice and bud.
or as i think of you..."total talent".
thanks for listening to the song.

re my not providing production info/details //biab details etc.
(much as i would like to like other pg song creators.)
perhaps you didnt see my other pg post where i explained reasons in another song post ....as follows.

awhile back i had very serious surgery i wont bore you with, which i came through thankfully.
(i'm fit as a fiddle now and hope to stay that way.)

due to the nature of the operation (and the covid situation) my doctors (to protect me) have me isolated with just my dear wife. ...and thus limit any interraction with other people which might impact me.

but all my darn song production details are backed up in other locations, which i cant get to right now.
i only have final song stereo mixes here.

i hope you understand.
thanks
oldmuso.

Commander Tom, err I mean oldmuso this is out of this world! Love the intro and the mix of soft and distorted guitars, brilliant! A super vocal and lyrics that were expertly mixed.

This is your best to date IMHO.

Apologies for missing that and glad you are doing well. Janice and I have been on a pretty much self imposed isolation during this entire unfortunate period. Fortunately I have access to all my tech toys! And as mountain bikers and hikers we have access to many local trails and have trails on our property. We have a very special marriage of 42 years that helps a lot! Be safe and well.

Bud

MarioD.
thanks for being kind enough to listen and comment.
it was lots of work/fun to do it.
happiness to you.

Total talent team (J/B).
no probs. you werent to know. if i ever win the lottery ,
and assuming covid crazyness is over i'll throw a party for pg users...lol.
best to you both.

om

It's Tuesday morning here in Melbourne and this has set me up for the day. I love it.

You've really done an awesome job writing, arranging and presenting this. You've got my applause!

All the best,
Noel

thanks so much for your nice comments.
i try very hard to create songs that give people some fun/laughs...very best to you.
oldmuso

would like peoples opinions ...if its worth keeping this song on soundcloud, as they only give me a certain amount of free space. and i got loads of other songs done with
biab/rb/reaps to put up.

MEANWHILE HUGE NEWS !
as you all know i'm a huge hammers fan.
THEY JUST BEAT LIVERPOOL 3-2. there will be huge
partying in the cockney world tonight.
the pubs in east london will make money hand over fist.
i'm sooooo stoked cos compared to west ham liverpool has big budgets for players.

me happy lad. hammers are third in premier league.

om

Good tune and good vox, somehow reminded me of Donovan's Intergalactic Laxative until the power chords came in. Nice work, bonus points for creativity.

Tunemonger.
thanks for listening and your comments.
fyi my fun is employing different character vocs and voc styles, depending on what the song needs.
and i'm super chuffed cos my soccer team beat liverpool
4-2.

Cool!

The lad from London done well!

Sounds like it has the bones to be a hit!

mot

Hello, Lad From London!! I really enjoy your style writing, singing, producing and thinking. Man, that "Come and join me" seems inviting but scary. I really like the song, especially all that you do for it in production. Very cool, oldmuso.

I was also very glad that Circles started playing before I was done typing. Must have missed that one before.
