Liner Notes

this is a title that came to me in early january when the los angeles fires started. i decided to try to incorporate it into my developing potential space garage rock opera album.

i'd like to write more lyrics for the verses, and i don't love every line i have now, but i spent like 6 hours on this today, so i'm done for now.

Lyrics

well we’ve been running out of time
beam me up
well we’re just a waste of space
warp speed
houston we have a problem here
take off
we gotta get out of this world

the human race
is as good as dead
earth to earthlings
we’re as good as dead

we need to
plan our escape
from the planet

we need to
evacuate the planet
earth right now

Great lyrics! I love the space-specific interjections. “Warp speed!” I love the big major chords in “wee need to evacuate.” There’s a sense of impending doom but set against a fun musical backdrop.

"my developing potential space garage rock opera album" I'm gonna need the word potential dropped out of there. This needs to happen. But I'm a sucker for vintage sci-fi need stuff, so this concept is right up my alley. Another awesome tune man! Loving the chucka chuckas in the guitar riff in-between each line during the "human race is good as dead" section.

Very apocalyptic rushing feel to this and to get moving!

Heavy. You really got a groove going this FAWM. I look forward to buy all of these! Solid riff, great vocals, totally solid message!

@rinwolf 2d

That riff hits hard. Loved the lyrics and sentiment. The slapback delay (assuming that’s what it is) adds some cool texture to the vocals!

@frankb 2d

The heavy echo is effective, but a bit jarring when trying to follow the lyrics. I say this with full respect for your style. As I say, it is effective. And I like the intensity of the whole thing!
