bookmark_borderDose Of Cosmos

A song inspired by NASA and scientists all around Earth… that inspire us earthlings to consider the realms. Here is a dose of the cosmos using their visuals… combined with a little fractal animation, chaos theory and special effects. A partial list of picture credits would include New Zealand, Earth, Moon (ours and others), Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, space debris, nebuli, galaxies, black holes and artists’ depictions.

LYRICS
I’m going to take a dose of cosmos
And get far out
Into my outer space

My body leaving no trace
Getting into my outer space

Going to take a dose of cosmos
And get far out
Without a doubt
Get into my outer space
Just put on your brave face
And, let’s get into our outer space

This is the verse
About getting out of the universe
We were much to close
Now it’s time to get far out
In our outer space
I hope I’m not off base
By suggest you take a dose of cosmos
And, get far out

Bizarre?
Mars isn’t that far
Get your arse passed Uranus
Maybe stop at Jupiter
Play a little guitar
Burn on Saturn
Another dose of cosmos
We’ll be in outer space
On the way through the Milky Way
As we transverse the universe
Another dose of cosmos

Just for fun
Go around the sound
Round and round the sun
Soon will be coming home
Around the moon
Take a dose of the cosmos
And, get far out

LYRICS
I can’t wait to navigate space

I hope I see my exit before it’s too late
I can’t wait
To navigate
Space
Head at a steady rate
At any rate, going straight

How do I slow down
When there’s no friction around
None to be found
I hope I see my exit
That’s it
Before it’s too late

I can’t wait
To navigate
Some grand prix race in outer space
Through the galaxies
Heavenly fantasies
In our race through space

On my way through the Milky Way
I’ll search for intelligence
If I can just converge
(maybe some will emerge)
I heard them say
There’s none in the Milky Way
You’ve got to go further out
In outer space
If there’s any trace
Of intelligence
Or just allegiance to ignorance

LYRICS
Time is starting to slide faster a way
Day by day by day
As we collide on the ride
Spacetime continuum I know I am

Take a stroll through a wormhole

Ride the time slide
Come on and ride
Slide, slide, slide
Take a space stroll
Through a time wormhole

Once you’re sucked in
There’s only one way to win
Ride the slide
Take a stroll through the wormhole

LYRICS
None to soon
We’ll be living on the moon
On our way through the stars
Maybe make home on mars

But the moon’s not mine
Can I mine the moon
And, do we want to leave our scars on mars?

Space debris as far as the eye can see
Another giant hunk of space junk
Orbital debris — a mess due to humanity
Humans have a taste for space waste
Leaving us the curse of the universe
Aliens will be left in strife
If they come looking for intelligent life
Come on, Man! Can “leave no trace”
Be our motto for space

166 BPM / World Pop

Europe and Russia announced their joint plan to colonize the moon for the purpose of mining. From the moon, man would launch humans further out into space. NASA recently announced its plans for manned missions to mars.

Space debris, also known as orbital debris, space junk and space waste, is the collection of manmade defunct objects in orbit around Earth. This includes spent rocket stages, old satellites and fragments from disintegration, erosion and collisions. Since orbits overlap with new spacecraft, debris may collide with operational spacecraft.

As of 2009 about 19,000 pieces of debris larger than 5 cm (2 in) are tracked, while an estimated 300,000 pieces larger than 1 cm exist….

3 billion miles away
Did you think we’d see they day
Ya know… Pluto?

Messages at the speed of light
Travel home in half a night
Gone to… Pluto

Do you feel Goofy being that far-out
Do you feel Goofy being that spaced-out
Maybe we’ll find out what we’re all about
Our origin of life beyond doubt

3 billion miles away
Did you think we’d see they day
Ya know… Pluto?

Mountains of water could be our Mother
May need not look further
Pluto

Do you feel Goofy being that far-out
Do you feel Goofy being that spaced-out
Maybe we’ll find out what we’re all about
Our origin of life beyond doubt

LYRICS
Is the Earth in the way of the Milky Way?
Will our lied ride collide on our inside

The galaxy that contains our Solar System
Our sole our system
Our soul our system

Is Mars not as far… as in “raise the bar”
Or, will our numbness nebula become regular

We’re spacing out without doubt

Do we think our sum greater than the sun
It’s not right if we don’t shine the light

LYRICS
Could ya
Would ya
Could you help me suit-up
For a spacewalk

How about you?
Would you like to come, too…
On a spacewalk

It’s hard to talk on a spacewalk
‘ cause words don’t travel through space
If you want to take a walk
And disregard the talk

Get on a suit
Then it’s a matter of whether the tether
Will you make sure it’s on really tight
But not so tight that there’s not enough slack to get back

If you can do be the favor
Of our hour favor

And the tether has enough slack to get back
But get far enough out… farout

Don’t let the gravitational pull
Pull the wool
Over your eyes

Big bang!

Now, here’s the thang
Though not quite in grasp of your fingers
It still lingers

The way Big Bang behaves…
Primordial gravitational waves
I mean, it’s worthy of a primal scream

Yeeha! Big bang!

LYRICS
Those pictures from the Hubble
Really popped my bubble
Here I thought the universe was centered around me
Must have some sort-of vanity curse… ’cause it’s hard for me to see

Did you see the the supernova star explosion
Damn it!
If a star explodes in space, can anyone hear it?
By the time we see it, maybe there will be evolution
Or is intelligent live still light years away?
Call it post-humanity dismay

“Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar” galaxy
It’s time to set your soul free
Go far
F#$@ the greed czar
Make the concept of envy bizarre

Those pictures from the Hubble
Popped my bubble
Here I thought the universe revolved around me

Do you know where you are? Our solar system doesn’t really have a name, so it’s a trick question. The second closest solar system is a bit more than 4 light years away, has 3 stars and is called Alpha Centauri. The closest Alpha Centauri star to us is called Proxima Centauri.

LYRICS
I’m comin’ at…
I’m comin’ at ya’ll
Coming to you all
Digital

Packed as zeros and ones
Through the bandwidth it runs
Listen to it run

In one end
Runs out the other end
Can’t be sent digital
Not at all
When it comes out the other end
If you want the message to send
You got to travel through the air
To your ear
So, you can hear

You can’t send music through space
Better off being digital in space
But, here in the atmosphere
If you want to hear
Hear the music play
They say,
You got to get through the air
You got to get to the ear to hear

If you want to move love
Move love

Now, we’re getting there
Through the air
I can see you can hear

Move love
If you want to move love from here to there
You’ve got to get through air

Move love

Transform to digital from digital to digital from digital
Move love

We’re moving love
