I'm a big space enthusiast, so a fifties style song about Ganymede has me intrigued!

This is the first track off an upcoming album of mine, and by upcoming I of course mean I have no idea when it'll be out. The track is called 2244, and the album is called Neurotypical Empire Vol 1: 2244. The album is the most complicated musical project I've ever worked on, and it's inspired by the fact that two years ago I realized I was autistic, so the album is a sci-fi concept album, involving quite a lot of time travel and quite a lot of multiverse, about the treatment by society of autistic people. I wish I could give a more definite timeline on when the rest of the album will be finished, but thanks to a lot of good friends of mine who gave me really good advice on the production and vocals (I'm very new to singing), the first track is now complete. So here it is, 2244!

Coming out of lockdown song. 
Leon Carter on drums, Charlie Villiers on bass, Dave Toolan on guitar, and I’m on the acoustic and singing.

Into The Light

So the album I've been working on for quite some time Neurotypical Empire Vol I 2244, is alas, still nowhere near completion. So I've decided to release a second song from it that is fully complete, called Memories Of The Invasion. In this song, we are introduced to the Neurotypical Empire, and how they will stop at nothing to make everybody identical to them and destroy all individuality and difference, and the terrible sacrifice that had to me made to stop them.

Memories Of The Invasion

From Callisto we veer over to the next Jovian moon, the lonely ice world known as Ganymede. A frosty little 12 bar blues from a spirit frozen stiff with the Ganymede Blues. Amelis has been here evidently, though her poetry offers nothing but cold comfort.

My Ganymede baby left me low, so low
She left me on Ganymede, she left me a long time ago
She took a jet straight to Wichita
back to someone she knew, before

The ocean, it sparkles like a ring, a diamond ring
It’s frozen it’s crystal, like a ring, her diamond ring
It’s endless it’s empty
and I am the lonesome king

The sun shines so dim way out here
Yes, the sun shines so dim and so cold out here
I won’t be surprised if
one day it decides to disappear

Amalis was here she left a poem, (a dirty little poem)
Etched inside these frozen catacombs
It said you can never ever never go back, so
Why don’t you just make yourself at home

04. Ganymede Blues
