I'm in space
I'm floating through the stars
I'm in space
I think that one is Mars
I'm in space
I feel a little sick
I'm in space
Space travel is shit

Why did I think it was a good idea to give all of my money to those venture capitalists?
Who sent us up in this capsule. it looked so good in the brochure
Why did I think it was a good idea to give all of my life savings to that dodgy travel agency?

I'm in space
I'm floating through the vacuum
I'm in space
There's no echo in a vacuum
I'm in space
Oooo ah oo

Why did I think it was a good idea to give all of my money to that new space travel start up?
Who sent us up in this rocket, it looked so good in the advert
I thought space would be a wonderful place where we could escape from all the hecticness of Earth life and
I thought a room on Hotel Moon would make everybody say what a cool holiday you had
We should have just gone to Cornwall

Are we there yet, Daddy?
Are we there yet, Daddy?

Are we there yet, Daddy?
Are we there yet, Daddy?
We want to go to the park,
We want to go on the waterslide, Daddy

Are we there yet, Daddy?
Are we there yet, Daddy?
They ask me where we’re going but I don’t know where we are
I look outside the window and all I see are stars

Are we there yet, Daddy?
Are we there yet, Daddy?
Are we there yet, Daddy?
We want to go to the beach!
Do they have beaches on the moon?
I don’t know we’ll find out when we get there
It says in the brochure they have beaches
Or at least they have virtual beaches or photos of beaches
Are we there yet, Daddy?
Are we there yet, Daddy?
We want to go on the slide, we want an Ice-cream, Daddy
“Here, take this colouring in book, you can colour in the stars and the aliens as we’re floating around”
“But daddy, whenever I touch it with my crayon, the page floats to the other side of the capsule, Daddy”
Why did I think it was a good idea to take my family on the first ever lunar package holiday for families, this was a terrible idea, we should have just gone to Bermo,
Why did I think it was a good idea to take my family on the first ever commercial lunar holiday for families, this was a terrible idea, we should have just gone to Orkney!

Are we there yet, Daddy?
Are we there yet, Daddy?
Are we there yet, Daddy?
Are we there yet, Daddy?
Are we there yet, Daddy?
Are we there yet, Daddy?
Are we there yet, are we there yet?
Are we there yet, Daddy?
Are we there yet, Daddy?
We’re in space!

I'm in Space

KUZbeats is genre-defying "cinematic indie-tronica" that joins modern musical elements to whatever's left of the weird old world. It's searching for something. The music reflects diverse influences and tall tales from the artist’s life and travels. And it rocks.

Follow or comment and I'll come and click back! Independent music is the future. 

Simon Debanks is an independent artist based near Oxford in the UK. A self-taught singer, guitarist and keyboardist, he has previously written for and performed in bands but now brings his creativity to solo projects.

Simon grew up listening to an eclectic mix of pop and rock, a foundation that will be apparent in his music. Primary influences can be found from the indie music scene of the 90s and the first decade of the new millennium; however, he enjoys modern indie in many flavours, so his sound has developed with a happy mix of the traditional and contemporary.

Cerddor, cyfansoddwr, arlunydd, a digrifwr (ar adegau) o Fetws-y-coed, sydd bellach yn byw ym Machynlleth yw Liam Rickard a.k.a. Worldwide Welshman.
Mae'r WWW yn perfformio gyda band dychmygol neu gyda band go iawn. Gyda'i chymysgedd amlieithog o tragi-comic parti-bangars ac eiliadau o melancoli, mae WWW a'i griw (o dan nifer i enwau gwahanol) wedi bod yn difyrru gynulleidfaoedd ar draws Ewrop a thu hwnt ers tua 2007

Liam Rickard (Worldwide Welshman) is a singer-songwriter, folk-singer, artist and occasional comedian from Betws-y-Coed, now based in Machynlleth. WWW often performs with a band. When they're not available, he performs with an imaginary band. WWW and his friends (under various guises) have been performing their multi-lingual mix of tragic-comic party anthems and folk-pop ballads across Europe and beyond since about 2007.

I’m a singer-songwriter from Derbyshire. All songs on here are demos. Just recorded on my phone or iPad. I have songs also on philbus.bandcamp.com . Also on YouTube at @Philbus77 . I’m also on instagram at @philbus850 . My email is philbus850@gmail.com . 
    I love bands like Crowded House, Embrace, Depeche Mode, New Order and singer-songwriters like Josh Ritter, Josh Rouse, Neil Young, Kara Jackson and also all of the girls from Boygenius. Please check out my new album Tales on www.philbus.bandcamp.com
   I have been writing songs since I was about 10 years old, maybe even a bit longer as I can recall being younger than that and strumming a toy guitar and singing some sort of melody. I can play the keys a little bit and that’s where I write my songs at the keyboard, because I don’t have a band behind me, at the moment songs are recorded using keyboard presets as backing music with me singing over into my iPad. 
  I’m in the process of changing my setup and will soon start using a laptop and a keyboard to make hopefully a more unique sound, at least I hope more professional.
  I hope that you enjoy my music, that’s why I make it, because I enjoy it and I want other people to as well.
  Thanks, from Philbus, or Phil if you want to be more personal.

"Welsh electronic producer Sonophoria is quietly building a reputation as one of the UK’s most intriguing underground names" (BBC Radio 6 DJ Tom Robinson’s 'Fresh On The Net', Fresh Faves #574 by John Michie, 23 Jun 2025)

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Sonophoria is a Welsh Electronic Music Producer who in their short career has already been featured on SoundCloud’s Flagship Global Top 50 Electronic Music playlist “Buzzing Electronic” in April 2024. 

Also, since starting submitting to BBC Radio 6 DJ Tom Robinson's ‘Fresh on the Net’ in January 2024, they have been featured 15 times in Eclectic Picks, selected for the Listening Post 5 times and a featured Fresh Fave in September 2024 and June 2025. 

Think a blend of Avicii, Chemical Brothers & Prodigy (ie melodic electronic music fused with eclectic/alternative elements). Also House, Progressive, Trance & EDM Producer.
