Nothing Expected

Robots and Aliens


Listen Later

I started this song aiming for something calmer than the others I’ve posted so far, so before I laid down a single note, I set a slow tempo.  Proving that music is never simple, this song ended up being relatively energetic anyway. Once I realized what was happening, I made no effort to change it because it seemed the song was trying to go someplace in particular. My task was to figure out where. Well, here’s that someplace. As usual, lyrics after the break.

Robots and Aliens

music and lyrics by Ahd Child

Verse

I find my thoughts are strange
I know that thatâ€s OK
But sometimes I wonder if I should change
I get these strange looks for all my deviations
And they’re so devastating cuz Iâ€m cast out on a lonely . . .
But where should I go, if not the status quo
Perhaps a journey far far far from my earthly home
Iâ€m blasting off with turbo boosters and no space suit
Iâ€m open to the universe with few expectations
Who knows the sensations Iâ€ll find in outer space
Iâ€ll walk my lonely path until I find my own place
I canâ€t be grounded here, Iâ€m floating in the wind
Like a feather in sky, so I might as well fly high
Iâ€ll leave this static orbit like a new comet forming
Iâ€ll find a path thatâ€s chaotic and less boring
Iâ€ll find the spot where the cosmos first exploded
Examine the beginning as Iâ€m floating

Chorus

Commune with aliens
Different intelligence
Observe new substances
And unique elements
