Liner Notes

This song my for the #CommentsFirst challenge (https://write.fawm.org/forums/3025). It was written based on these comments:

@beacon: I like the change in beat structure from the verses to the choruses. Is that 4/4 to 6/8? (✓)

@billwhite51: beto communicates the essence of humanity;s detachment from itself witth this tale of a spaceman lost in the void who dreams of returning to earth when his visions and memories are manifested by a meteor shower that eats drifting spacemen and to elude their hungry mouths. he falls into a black hole. beto's high tech background coupled with his very human sensitivity results in a simple song that equals 2001 A Space Odyssey in its sense of wonder and intellectual depth. (I tried!)

@chill4matt: When the percussion comes into play, the song really rocks. Nice one! (I hope so!)

@nancyrost: Love the bilingual rhymes! (English/Portuguese and French/English)

@coolparadiso: Oh I love the xylophone, particularly in that offbeat style, Bravo! (✓)

Lyrics

Peace is here now
Nesta nave espacial
J'arrive à la maison
I am no longer alone

Translation:

Peace is here now
On this spaceship
I'm arriving home
I am no longer alone
