about

Minwen's inspiration this track was, in her words: Space death metal opera, inspired by Philip K Dick, and gunpowder. Go figure.

We gave this a bit of a techno beat feel, with Minwen doing a bit of The Fifth Element operatic diva singing. The initial demo got her approval rather quickly. She wrote, as part of the comments on tweaks to the song, "Other than these small details, the overall is very nice. I like this alien song."

Download the songs for free (set the price as $0), or share with friends. Enjoy!

lyrics

KEY: Fm
BPM: 103

We were scientists of music
singing our Space opera
Driving our spaceship
To somewhere
To nowhere

Playing on
Playing on
Till the moon explodes
Playing on
playing on
Till the asteroids implode

CHORUS:
We were the creatures of Mars
Drenched in a stardust shower
We were the creatures of Mars
Killed in a boom of gunpowder

[repeat Chorus]

We played the hero
And threw out bass lines
Saving somersaulting astronauts
Who lost their grips and nerves, and got lost in space, lost in space

Playing on
Playing on
Till the moon explodes
Playing on
playing on
Till the asteroids implode

[repeat Chorus]

Bridge:
Feeding on the vibrations of music, music

[repeat Chorus]
