Song 45: Party on Mars
Listen now
Description
For starters, we didn't forget about the song, or release it late by accident. There is only one day, ever, that we can release a song at 11:11am on 11/11/11, and so I did it. Steve here. I am trying to make a new exclamation popular. If you are describing something very excitedly, say, "Sweet Doucet! That was something!". And, in the case of this song, "Sweet Doucet! I have no idea what I just did!". It is unlike anything else I have recorded. It is not a campfire song. In a recent e-mail, Chris Tindal called it "redicatastic". I think that about sums it up. Song Discussion STEVE: I went to Chris' place to record this today, but unfortunately he wasn't home. Work and all. I find when I am exposed to different resources for making music that different stuff comes out - this is certainly the case today. I started playing around with his keyboard and electric guitar, which I don't have at home. The result is something I had no idea would come out. I like the actual song and music better than the lyrics - I spent a whole lot of time on the music and even turned down the vocals at the end as I don't think they are very strong (and I was starting to take too long recording). In our transcending "if we have time to record this again" theme, I hope Chris will record the vocals as I think this suits his voice better - which, have you noticed everyone, is getting awesome?!? Anyway, it is off to bed for me! Getting late. Good night (morning!). Lyrics I'm not OK I'm not all right Staying on this rock No way All the problems All the people Pushing to the top Passing people on the sidewalk And while I won't give up on you I won't let it break me down So now we'll fly away Tonight! We party on Mars Tonight! We become stars All right! Time to lay down All our arms Stop punching out our lights There are no good fights All the people All the love That's waiting to be cast And I won't be the last And while I won't give up on you I won't let it break me down So now we'll fly away Tonight! We party on Mars Tonight! We become stars All right! Credits Words and music: Steve Salt Steve Salt: Vocals, guitars, keyboards, drums (programmed) Chris Tindal: Hi Chris!
