Elite Dangerous - Songs in Space

His journey

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 !

Lyrics
Well if love’s just a word that you heard 
There’d be no need to be scared of a word
But when down and you’re so solo down
You gotta fly to make someone your ground

What if hope’s just a smile that you show
Has every new path got a chance to be alone
Where I was scared now I’m feeling brave
You’re not the only one that we saved

Dream…I don’t dream anymore
Feel…Just like I’ve felt before 
and before and before

When your trust’s just a must to feel real
Can an empty bubble only dream to heal

Dream…I don’t dream anymore
Feel…Just like I’ve felt before
Seeing…People dying to be saved
Believing…That no good will come from grace 
Yeah no good can come from grace

Are you ready 
For your face to fit the place
To find a mind 
To hide inside 
Of that human race
But I’m still waiting 
For your fate to turn to faith
But is it fair 
To stop the race 
Before you start the chase

So how do you dream 
Cos I don’t dream anymore
How do you feel 
When you’ve felt it all before
What’s worth seeing 
If a worth less can’t be saved
No point believing  
Are you still holding out for faith
You’re telling me you’re giving me love for real
And hope I learn to trust the faith you deal
We know our dreams are bullets hidden inside our sleep
So it’s up to us to bleed the love we need
But you keep telling me you’re giving me love for real
And hope I learn to trust the faith we deal
We know our dreams are bullets hidden inside of sleep
So it’s up to us to bleed the love we need
It’s up to us to bleed the love we need 

But is it love that we need
Or just hope that we can feel
Is it love that we all find
Or just echoes lost inside
Is it love we must believe
An empty heart still has to breathe
So is it love we all need to find
Or is it just echoes lost deep inside
Are we just echoes deep inside
Are we just echoes lost inside

Don't wanna be a federal idiot

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

Undermining, Stopping Expansion
feds exploding gives me satisfaction

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

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

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

Keelback (Asp Ex part 2)

Todays the day get my new keelback,
The guys can stop their taunts,
I got a proper ship, with a fighter bay yeehay.

Don't see too many flown by Cmdr's I guess their all at war,
yeah in their proper ships, with their fighter bays waahey.

And I don't care,
If you laugh at my small hardpoints, cause they're bigger than you,
And i'll just high wake away again.

I'm in a big ship (a little ship)
Its my a starship (its pathetic)
A new Cmdr's on his way (way) 
I'm in a big ship (a little ship)
Its my a starship (its pathetic)
A new Cmdr's on his way (way)

So now I'm free I'm texting all those girls who turn their noses up,
I flew a smaller ship, and I lost it all ok,
But in this capitol with bays so full I think they'll change their minds,
I got a proper ship with a fighter bay yehay

And I don't care 
If they laugh at my small hardpoints cause they're bigger than you
And i'll just high wake away again

I'm in a big ship (a little ship)
Its my starship (its pathetic)
A new Cmdr's on his way (way) 

I'm in a big ship (its a little ship)
It's like a starship (its pathetic)
A new Cmdr's on his way 
See you at the rebuy screen boi
At the rebuy screen boi
See you at the rebuy screen boi
At the rebuy scre--en yeah



So now I've got my flappy wings in tow
I'm heading to the res,
I'll fight a bigger ship with a fighter bay and blow.

But I don't care cause in this new Keelback
Yeah the comeback will be mine
I lost a proper ship but with a fighter bay wahaay

And I don't care 
If they laugh at my small hardpoint cause I'm bigger than you
And I'll just high wake away

I'm in a big ship (it's little ship)
It's my starship (it's pathetic)
A new Cmdr's on his way (way) 

I'm in a big ship (it's a little ship)
It's like a starship (it's pathetic)
A new cmdr's on his way 

See you at the rebuy screen 
See you at the rebuy screen boi
See you at the rebuy screen boi
At the rebuy screen 
See you at the rebuy screen boi
At the rebuy screen boi
See you at the rebuy screen boi
At the rebuy screen
Boi

It was cold I was freezing, I'd had too much booze,
So I thought I would park up my cow for the night,
She was packed to the gills with rare goods I had saved,
Yes a big haul of Arx's for my lady,
My coms panel opened a voice said 'Ha-har',
'now give me 10tons of your loot',
I was stubborn and drunk and would not give this punk
Not one penny so i blew it all....

My lady was hoping for riches that night, with no rebuy i was down on my knees,
But she just walked away from that empty ship bay,
She said 'you're not the man that i need'.

So i turned to the dark side, I hardened my heart,
Oh yes a mean pirate I'd be,
I flew out of that station and into this song,
Yes I knew I had found what I'd be.

I was flying my cobra right out of Kremmain with a hold full of Lavian brandy,
I was swigging so deeply from my Hutton Mug with the rare smell of Onion-Head round me.
Maybe I'll find a girl in Frigaha one night, who'll put up with my pirating ways,
But until then I'll drink from this old Hutton mug,
and I hope that I'll meet her one day.

One day, Christmas day
Oh I'll win back your heart with my gold and my charms,
Oh one day, Christmas day,
But until then i'll keep on my pirating ways waheeey

So I cooled down my Cobra and silent ran home
and sold all of my Lavian Brandy
Had some Pink Bast Snake Gin just to give me a grin and a puff of that Onion-Head gladly.

Maybe I'll find a girl in Frigaha one day, who'll put up with my pirating ways,
But until then I'll drink from this old Hutton mug,
and I hope that I'll meet her one day.

One day, Christmas day
Oh I'll win back your heart with my gold and my charms,
Oh one day, Christmas day,
But until then I'll keep on my pirating ways
Oh one day, Christmas day
Oh I'll win back your heart with my gold and my Arx's,
Oh one day, Christmas day,
But until then I'll keep on my pirating ways...

Give me everything in your cargo hold,
I am willing not to blow you away (and all this can end),
You can jump but you can't hide from my scanning eyes,
This day you have become my prey.

Been searching for those ships with a mining laser,
Heading back to sell all their wares,
Interdiction it is starting to spin me out, 
So I hope you've started saying your prayers.

Low temperature diamonds incoming,
Hatch breaker limpet on its way,
Low temperature diamonds incoming,
I got this feeling that today is payday.
Yeah gimme gimme gimme.


Been searching for an anarchy system for so long,
One with agriculture and boom,
The charts are bare the galaxy seems so happy now,
But pirates always make their own room.

Locked in and turning to pull you out of cruise,
Then I take a shield or two,
Thrusters off you tumble and jump away,
But you know that I'm coming for you.

Low temperature diamonds incoming
Hatch breaker limpet on its way
Low temperature diamonds incoming
I got this feeling today is payday...
