Astronaut 03:19
This recall of my senses Numbs me to the core Floating by defenseless Barely needing more I reach my hand to shut the light off Obscured by your glow most of all No more, no more Your words are hollow and endless No more, no more Your words are empty and endless No more, no more I'm falling faster through the stars My heart is beating uncontrollably My mind is shattered, placed in stars Reminders of how I used to be I reach my hand to beg forgiveness Obscured by judge, placing sentence I don't know what was said before Lost for words, the silver chord This guilted construct of my own device Tireless visions creep and crawl around my skull Pins and needles, days and nights, afterbirth with stillborn rights I'm ready to end this deafening sound I don't know what was said before All the words are fed to an empty head No more, no less All the words are fed to an empty head Endless, endless Endless, endless

Drifting 03:45
I don't expect you to understand The calmness of space, the grain of sand The meaning to it all was found in me Let me drown in my empty sea I'll feel the blackness engulf/consume Give my body to science they know what to do I don't pray to no God or evil red man But I will hold my breath until the water breaks the damn I see the stars flicker and fade from sight They know what's hiding in the night In the vacuum of space, the endless race To find an answer we didn't need to chase It's right here in our hearts The blood circulation and off beat rhythms Slowing, slowing, fading into obscurity With the glimmer of hope still ever present I sacrifice what little energy not for longing But for letting go and finally resting. If you hear this, know I am at peace (In pieces) in orbit. Always now and forever I'll always look over you if you believe in that sort of thing Please know it wasn't painful But it was truly endless..

about

A small concept.

An astronaut drifting alone in space and ultimately dying in the endless void.

"Astronaut" begins the journey. Intense isolation leading to letting go and accepting his fate.

"Drifting" is the final message he is able to leave if anyone finds it. Speaking to himself, his family, his memories, and his final mission.

"Endless" a jazzy piano improvisation by Ramon Saldivar, is the Astronaut being alone with thoughts. Drifting further and further into the vast nothing-ness that is space. Passing through the stars.

This small collection of jams started one night jamming with Ramon. We started with just bass and drums expecting nothing to come from it, but the more I listened to it the more I heard what could be done with it. After a few weeks I added vocals and guitars and Astronaut was finished. Thinking that was the end of that.

Well, the rest of the jam remained. Same as before, I added guitars and vocals and BAM! Drifting was complete.

The title track is entirely a Ramon Saldivar composition. A jazzy improvised track and a perfect end to the story.
