Name: How by riftyrich
Duration: 3 min 18 s
Description: Wrote both songs at different times, hopefully at the end of the pandemic and How at the beginning of an election cycle. Different anxiety, different worries - then amplified for dramatic flair. I am not as sad as these songs sound. Eventually, I will do some feel-good tunes when the time is right.

Space Boy

Before we broke up the band in 2006, we were working on a second Astronaut Wife album and this was one of the home-recorded demos we made for that record. It was inspired by an infamous proto-fascist speech given by George W. Bush in which he said "you are either with us or against us."

Astronaut Wife - The Shape Of Things To Come (2005 Demo)

Wrote both songs at different times, hopefully at the end of the pandemic and How at the beginning of an election cycle. Different anxiety, different worries - then amplified for dramatic flair. I am not as sad as these songs sound. Eventually, I will do some feel-good tunes when the time is right.

Drunken Boat: GlowingRoom

Remember the day you told me you were leaving?
Far away on a long, long trip
The water at the seaside was windless and even
Gravity seemed to loosen its grip
And if you look across the beaches at the light
The sun is hiding underneath the red horizon line
Making outlines from the trees
Blinding you and me
Blanking out the world
I can’t see anything behind your eyes

I can feel you shaking as you touch me
Taste the sweat dripping on your lips
A warm summer wind is blowing all around us
I never thought it might end like this
As we stand on the sidewalk looking down
I could swear I see your shadow disappearing from the ground
Leaving me alone with nowhere else to go
Standing in a strange place
Afraid to take a look around

I know you told me when you left I wouldn’t have a single thing to fear
But I wonder if you’ll still remember me when you’re high up in the atmosphere
And will the thin air up there still carry my voice to you?
Like a bottled message on the radio waves
Will it ever get to you?

You know you’re gonna find me waiting here for you every day ‘til you come back
Maybe it would take a miracle, but you know I’ve always believed in that
And if you look down at me from the sky
I’ll be standing alone, waving goodbye
Blowing kisses at the sun
Ignoring everyone
I never even stopped to ask you why
Why?
