Lyrics

So wait a second
Is this thing working?
Yeah I think it is
One… Two

This message is for the species that call themselves ‘Human’
Yeah we found your Voyager Golden Record
That stuff is great
Thanks for putting Chuck on it
We also have our own electric guitars now
See you soon!

How we gonna get this baby into Outer Space?
Oh are we still… Are we still broadcasting here?
They don’t need to hear this, turn it off!
Aight you can call this a vlog or something
That’s what you would call it right?

Well while we are on the subject of it
I’m planning to visit you
I wanna share some ideas
And hopefully take a ’59 Les Paul with me
Yeah I did my research
Come on!

You know what I like about this journey?
It takes like a gazillion years or something to arrive at your planet
I don’t even know if you guys still exist
Didn’t you have some type of nuclear thing going on?
And some crazy leaders?

Anyway enough time for me to play some electric guitar
Check it out!

Don’t be afraid I’m not that tall
Don’t be afraid by this message to you all
Muahahahaha
Nah I’m just kiddin

I come in peace I bring no harm
There is no need for you to arm

I thought I’d mention this specifically
Because I know your kind can freak out

Allright see you guys soon!
Bye Byeeeeee

Background & Recording

The first song I ever recorded on my new set up! And therefore it is a special one. The idea behind the song is about an Alien visiting Planet Earth because he found the Voyager Golden Record that we sent into Space in 1977. He really liked the Chuck Berry song and wanted to visit us.

Originally the song was released as a single on 11 april 2018. It was a very interesting time because I had recorded songs /song ideas before, but never actually released something. How do I get this on Spotify, the iTunes Store and all these other platforms? And what should I call myself? I figured out the name Oceans In Light was perfect for me. Once that was done, releasing the song turned out to be a really easy process via the online distributor Distrokid.
