Elite Dangerous - Songs in Space

His journey

Interphace - Nexus 7

Hi there. I've been writing music for many years and thought I'd write something for Elite Dangerous, the ED community and folk in general. This track is about the frightening first encounter with a Thargoid alien ship in the game Elite:Dangerous.

I've tried to tell a story with this piece. This was pretty much the script in my head:

0.00: In space. Flying near ringed planet.
1.29: Power out..drifting/spinning
1.42: Electrical disturbances outside the ship - not recognisable..
2.35: Ship power back on - what the hell is going on ?!
3.37: Electrical disturbances increasing..becoming very intense
4.38: THARGOID appears from subspace - Massive onslaught of lasers - alien weapons !
5.09: Commander managers to hide in asteroid field. Contemplation. Heavy breathing..in shock !
5.55: Prep the ship for full attack ! Plan attack ! 
6.26: This is WAR ! Flying through asteroids - lasers everywhere !
6.58: Massive damage to both ships !
7.12: Thargoid explodes. 5% hull lefton your ship....live to fight another day

Encounter

A track that tries to describe the future of things to come. The universe, the galaxy and what is yet to be discovered. These are exciting times !

Don't wanna be a federal idiot
don't wanna be a Hudson Affiliate
You might think the Corvette looks brilliant
But my Prismatic shields are resilient

CHORUS

Wecome to the Imperial nation
We got better ships in our stations
So make sure that you have your rebuy

Undermining, Stopping Expansion
feds exploding gives me satisfaction
We're gonna make you wanna cry

V2

Well maybe I'm a biased Imperial
But we don't welcome Federation ships at all
and If we see you out in supercruise
We Got our clippers out you know your gonna lose

CHORUS

Wecome to the Imperial nation
We got better ships in our stations
So make sure that you have your rebuy

Undermining, Stopping Expansion
feds exploding gives me satisfaction
We're gonna make you wanna cry 

V3

Don't wanna be a federal idiot
don't wanna be a Hudson Affiliate
You might think the Corvette looks brilliant
But your still a federation idiot

CHORUS

Wecome to the Imperial nation
We got better ships in our stations
So make sure that you have your rebuy

Undermining, Stopping Expansion
feds exploding gives me satisfaction
We're gonna make you wanna cry

Hmm hmm hmm 
You've waited long, at the engineers base right, 		 
No-ones here only landing bay number lights, 		
I appear fresh meat for the night sharks.

We could be friends, so should I drop my guard right? 
Or my shields I hear you laugh out loud, on a stream, 
Hey boys another ones coming.	

Purple lasers fill my canopy, 
There's a frag gun eating right thru me 
Should I run,
Before rebuy.

Purple lasers fill my canopy, 
There's a frag gun eating right thru me 
Could I run,
Before rebuy.
		
hmm hmm hmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmm hmmm
 
It seemed so dull, the bubble felt so empty			
I got my mats, been grinding all these rarest finds, 
Hmm hmm hmm
Heading out to Deciat or Palins,
After that my energy is failing,
But I'll take my chance, embrace it all tonight.

Purple lasers fill my canopy, 
There's a frag gun eating right thru me 
Should I run,
Before rebuy.

Purple lasers fill my canopy, 
There's a frag gun eating right thru me 
Could I run,
Before rebuy.


Can I high wake before my hull gets mushed,
Can I just turn before I eat the dust,
Can I escape to oh another night, 
Or an hour at work tomorrow, 
When the bugs wont bite,
When the bugs wont bite, 
When the bugs wont bite,  
When the bugs wont bite, 
When the bugs wont bite.

Can I high wake before my hull gets crushed,
Can I just turn before I eat the dust,
Can I escape to live another night,
Will I be hyper-dicted on my way out their tonight.


This game, is eating me, I live for it night and day,

This game, is all for me, I dream it in every way,


Purple lasers fill my canopy, 
There's a frag gun eating right thru me 
Should I run,
Before rebuy.

Purple lasers fill my canopy, 
There's a frag gun eating right thru me 
Could I run,
Before rebuy.
 
Can I high wake before my hull gets mushed,
Can I just turn before I eat the dust,
Can I escape to oh another night, 
Or an hour at work tomorrow
When the bugs won't bite.

Hmmm hmmm hmmm...

3 Purple Lasers Fill My Canopy

I know I said that I'd be home soon
But I gotta go do one more thing
INRA said that its important,
So importantGOTTA MAKE SOME SACRIFICES
You know that I've fought  bugs before
But never more than one at a time
And now I'm staring at a hive like mothership 
Silent running my way inside

They told me I was here to kill their drives, just their drives
Now I'm seeing many millions of those bugs die
And I don't want this on my hands

They told me that the payload, was a virus
Aimed at killing their tech
Now the blood is on my hands 
Do you think they really done yet

They knew that it was lethal
Exactly of its power
They tricked me into carrying out this lie
Sliding past perimeters, cold as an icepick
To the flower that gives them life

They told me I was here to kill their drives, just their drives,
Now I'm seeing many millions of those bugs die,
And I dont want this on my hands.

2 John Jameson

I sat there just going back and forth in this old boat,
Just like a ship in a bottle,
You came round hopped on the bridge and took command,
And so we sailed into the night.

I couldn't set a course on my own,
Didn't know which way was the north star, 
Or even Sagitarrius A.

I couldn't care at all on my own,
Didn't know which way was the north star,
Or even Sagittaruius A.

We set sail, not on a rough sea but just floating free from the bottle,
And you said 'lets just see, where the jump takes us oh together, lets jump together'.

And the systems fell we scanned them all,
We put our names against those first discoveries,
Wonderful memories.

The sectors passed we owned them all,
Some phenomenon where notable,
We took some shots to show our friends,
Some things they wont believe...

Oh the things that I have seen,
Oh the places I have been,
Oh I have crossed the void,
They wont believe.

Yeah i have looked into the eye ,
Yeah I've grown a lot since you oh hopped aboard that night.

I sat there, just going back and forth, in this old boat,
Just like a ship in a bottle,
You came round hopped on the bridge and took command,
And so we sailed into the night....

14 Ship In A Bottle

12 Mining On My Own

Look out, look out,
Said this mother-lode is gonna blow,
Get back, stay back, 
The void opals are mine ya know.

I got my limpets, don't forget your limpets, 
Gonna scoop up a rock or two.

I got a blaster, don't forget your blaster,
Dig em out, when you blow it true.

Searching all the skies for an overlap,
A carrier will soon be mine.

Keeping me eyes peeled for those empty squares,
Pirates are about all the time.

If you play in open...

Look out, look Out,
This motherlode lode is gonna blow,
Get back, stay back,
All these void opals are mine ya know.

I got a cobra, want to get a Cutter,
But there's rank ya know,
I'll get the credits, head out to Ngalinn,
Right to the top of the class I'll go.

Searching all these rings for an overlap,
Looking for that orangey glow,
when this tub is full I'll head out of here,
somewhere the pirates don't know.

Cause they check the inara....

Look out, look out,
This mother-lode lode is gonna blow,
Get back, stay back,
These void opals are mine ya know.

Hearing that pulse wave lying in my bunk,
Dreaming of the yellow glow,
Talking to my friends all I see is rocks,
Spinning in my mind they go.
 
It'll send you crazy….

Look out, look out,
This mother-lode lode is gonna blow,
Get back, stay back,
These void opals are mine ya know.

Look out, look out
This mother lode lode is gonna blow,
Get back, stay back,
These void opals are mine ya know oh oh oh  urgh!!
