Wasn't expecting to do as much to this as I did. There's bit of bad clipping on my trademark, over the top "Yeah" at the end of the last chorus that makes me want to redo the whole thing but for know this is it. Inspired of course by Spacefest, done on the mbr.

1 stereo- uke & vocal (live take)
1- minty coin drum
1- bass
1- chorus uke
1  clean uke
1- thumbjam (Round Sine)

Escape To Space
written & performed by Hook
As I gaze up at the stars
 I wonder just how far they truly are
Away from this peaceful patch of grass
Where I lay
I wonder of it's great expense
& how physics & imagination dance
To calm our nerves &
Explain the mystery

      Do you believe?
      Do you conceive to perceive
      Not too long ago fact was only theory
      I'd like to escape into space
      Because there's no history

So back down to Earth & reality
I got a pair of binoculars that help me see
Deeper into that which I have no clue
Constellations, galaxies, anomalies, possibilities
  
           Chorus (x2)

Now in my mind I've already landed on Mars
I've repaired the rovers & out of spare parts  
             & rocks I built a car
It won't be long before we start to terra form
& maybe generations to come
        will fondly think of Hook & sing this song
  
                         chorus

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

Nice one. I really like the lyrics. And that round sine sounds nice and "spacey" and works well with the ukulele.
