Protest fest! - The Mars Underground -- -- Higgins / Davidsen

[Kenneth]

the mars underground

we reach for the stars
in stops and starts
we've walked on the moon
but not for a while
we've not ventured far
since i was a child

we still dream of mars
and maybe beyond
gargarin and armstrong
still urging us on
we're stuck in low orbit
just messing around
has nobody heard of
the mars underground

nobody's heard of
nobody's heard of
the mars underground

when i was a boy
i could stay up late
to see one small step
for the human race
i don't think our dreams
will ever come to be

we still dream of mars etc

this morning ken sent me the music to this, it was titled "2012 rocket launch".


as a child growing up in the 60's i watched with awe and wonder the space race unfold before my eyes, well on the telly mostly., and at 9 years of age sat up late in the night to watch neil armstrong walk on the moon.  at the time i expected in the not too distant future to see men walk on mars, but went on to believe that this unlikely to happen in my lifetime. because it is too difficult and expensive to do etc etc,  then i watched a documentary called the mars underground ...............  http://www.marssociety.org/home/about/founding-declaration

Dear lord Ken, your music here is stunning, what a thing of beauty.  I love your lyrics and vocal here Jim.  What a fantastic cool song guys.

[Damián]

Amazing music Ken! rocking from the start very addictive!

Always love to hear sing Jim! another great lyric here!

-Since man landed on the moon, the humanity was closer to nuclear holocaust that to reach Mars, and I think if the first situation occurs first the only ones to survive will be cockroaches and Keith Richards  lol-

Happy New Year and All the best to you guys in 2012!!!

Cheers,
Damián

Great track guys, I just love the swirling guitars and the rhythm you have created with the guitar sound. Very cool effects and a great wall of sound approach. Jim's vox are great. Love the high bit at the end which he carries off brilliantly. A really catchy song as well, loving all of this.

Cheers,

Nigel
