Blast Off Into Space

Liner Notes

This one began life as a little idea I recorded on my phone in September 2024, except then the lyrics were the nonsensical 'castles in my haaaaaaands'. No idea what that meant so I rewrote them about everyone's least favourite South African nazi.

Rough mix / vocal. Might have overdone it on the saturation.

Lyrics

blast off into space!

blast off into space bugger off, and take your ugly face set your controls for the heart of the sun

blast off! show off! grand moff dunning kruger, just fuck off blast off! rip off! death above

blast off into space left overs of the human race

blast off! show off! grand moff dunning kruger, just fuck off blast off! rip off! death above

goodbye, au revoir it's goodbye forever into the sun it's goodbye

blast off into space! blast off into space!

So rare that I hear anyone using portamento on synth these days. Well placed. It complements the space theme. It's almost like a nod to the theremin used in the 50s sci-fi film scores. Nice!

Brutal song. Guitar tone is heavy and thick. Love it. This is a lyric I can get behind as well. Synth work is top notch
