"Mike and Sergio have come up with a song that is long enough to relax into."
— Gerry Verdier (English language teacher, music critic, and occasional lyricist)

“As long as we are a single-planet species, we are vulnerable to extinction by a planetwide catastrophe, natural or self-induced. Once we become a multiplanet species, our chances to live long and prosper will take a huge leap skyward.”
— David Grinspoon (American astrobiologist)

One of the greatest challenges of traveling to another star has to do with the sheer amount of energy necessary to get humans to another star within their own lifetimes. Hence why some proponents of interstellar travel recommend sending spacecraft that are essentially miniaturized worlds that can accommodate travelers for centuries or longer. These “Generation Ships” (aka. worldships or Interstellar Arks) are spacecraft that are built for the truly long haul.
— Matt Williams (From Universe Today: Space and astronomy news)

“(With generational ships) … stuff breaks down. The second law of thermodynamics is unbreakable. You can't just put a closed system in space for a century and hope for the best. And either the planet at the other end is dead, in which case we'll have to spend centuries terraforming it, or it's alive, and its unseen assassins could kill us in a hundred ways. (In other words) … there is no Planet B."
— Chris Taylor (writing about Kim Stanley Robinson’s book Aurora) 

lyrics
Woke up this morning, (least I think it was;
it’s hard to tell out here in Space)
And looked at photos of the Earth way back when
All blues and greens and a happy face
That home today is stormy grey
Hot as hell, cold as clay
Stuck inside a tin can just like “Major Tom”
We seek a new world where we can all belong

Sailing out upon “Hope of Humanity”
To places only fate would make us dare … to go
Sailing out into the great expanse
To find and build a home out in a galaxy … and know
We’re there to stay … there is no elsewhere x2

On a journey longer than our lives
Where decades form one endless year
I stare at the dark and quiet immensity
All I sense is death, somber and severe,
no safe haven near

Sailing out upon “Hope of Humanity”
To places only fear would make us dare … to go
Sailing out into the great expanse
To find and build a home out in a galaxy … and know
We’re there to stay … there is no elsewhere x2

Woke up this morning, (the stardial says it is)
And thought about my parents back on Earth
It’s sad to think that I’m as good as dead to them
I wonder about our sacrifice … and what it’s worth

Sailing out upon “Hope of Humanity”
To places only faith would make us dare … to go
Sailing out into the great expanse
To find and build a New Jerusalem … and know
We’re there to stay … there is no elsewhere

Lyrics:
I can show you were the crow lives now
Black feathers and king like crown
Kiss that ring when your taking the bow
Don't shake
They take flesh by the pound
Don't mistake
Love for a noun
Cause it means heartbreak
When the ups are down
heartbreak
When the ups are down
Bitch I'm over and Out
Over and Out 
I got goons in the back a the Ford
Goons and they back at the fort
Did I mention we knock and we chop
Mmm
Socks and we fill m with rocks
We bored
Yeah
Films about knocking the clocks
Out a cops on the road
Show
Flock and they raise me on shoulders
Like never Before
Woah oh woah
Yeah
Don't rag on the man with the scorn
Body bags under the porch
He don't whip in he rip off the Porsche at the store
He don't trip and he quit every time he gets bored
Every time I get
Yeah
Wanna be on the road
Wanna be on the 
I don't wanna be here
I wanna be on the road
I wanna be away
I wanna be on tour
I need everyone's attention but I also wanna be alone
We got a long night
And a long drive
I got something we can light
Make the honey that is roasting in the pipe
That's tight
10 roach
Break down
Frank Stein
Bee hives make the money that's right
What a life
Break out the wine
I'm fake your fake
That's wild
Let's walk and talk some shit for a while

FORGET ABOUT YOU

This tune was popularised by Frank Sinatra in 1969. Performed by me on my Yamaha PSR-SX900 arranger keyboard. 

Can you "Name That Tune"? I have a website that contains my complete collection of tunes with their titles revealed at: https://www.harveytwyman.com

Name That Tune #476 by Frank Sinatra

Suit 
by Nadia Selvaggi

Behold the bewildering horde 
swimming upstream like rats
towards Wall Street's charging bull

Watch the greedy, wretched whores
snatch Abbie Hoffman's dollars
before they hit NYSE's floor

Gold, diamond cuffs, an expensive shave
make you forget you're still
a demon's soulless slave

Bow down before the Golden Calf
Indulge every desire,
follow every darkened path,
while you starve in your dazzling cashmere suit

You're a dupe --
wasting your precious life
on a shallow, meaningless pursuit

You're just a suit 
living an unexamined life of disrepute

Twin serpents coiled around a sword
creating money out of nothing
from the numbers on a banker's keyboard

Proud American still unaware 
this whole system is still run
from a blue blooded bandit's royal chair

Selling out your country's precious sovereignty
To a selfish traitor
freedom's just another commodity

Bow down before the Golden Calf,
indulge every desire,
follow every darkened path,
while you starve in your dazzling cashmere suit

You're a suit --
wasting your precious life
on a shallow, meaningless pursuit
You're just a suit
living an unexamined life of disrepute

Suit by Garddwr Porffor & Nadia Selvaggi

Exploring different musical territories with each new project. It’s been my main objective as a music producer ever since I started this creative journey in 2014. While translating emotions into sounds, I draw inspiration from both personal life as well as social issues. 

In 2018 I released debut EP ''Reliving'', revisiting emotional memories through a soundscape of electronic rock music. After the joint effort “Millions of Simple Lights” with Russian artist Меня Нет @ivan-lesnikov in 2019, my 2020 EP ''Past Mistakes'' presented a cathartic listening experience, inspired by my own personal development. In 2022 I launched international hip hop collaboration @crimethinkers, resulting in the conscious and defiant “Time to Rise EP”. The 2023 album “Jingles & Fillers” features all music that I created exclusively for Dutch radio show Lucas ON AIR.
