whimsical song about what you might find on the moon
xybor cosmonaut
Artist picture
Eccentric mix of plop flop blazz and fluzzenglak.
Xybor and the Cosmonauts come from the planet Kaelon in where you call the Andromeda galaxy. We are on an intergalactic tour (ta daaa!!) and came to Prazoloog (Earth) to check out the music scene here (two droobgongs way up!!). We are: Xybor -- zingstok (vocals); Gleek -- quaznip (guitar); Zoink -- blazergonk (bass); Fizzgig -- kapongdong (percussion); Pakadook -- deebledoip (keyboards and unearthly sounds)

Story behind the song
I came up with the phrase, "Rocket to the Moon" and was determined to make a song out of it. I had to think about why I would want to go to the moon and what I might find there. One thing I didn't want was a "get out of here" song, lamenting the ills on the earth, which I find easy to get wrapped up in. So, this song end up being a somewhat whimsical song that touches on cosmology and my unstudied view of the universe.
Lyrics
Rocket to the Moon Hello my old friend, its good to see you Your shining face is looking bright and full tonight Every night when I look up I pause to wonder why You hang around here And what you've seen When time was born and the earth began From the spark of life to the age of man If I may, what would you say about coincidental DNA? If I throw a rock into the middle of the sea That would be me, a ripple in infinity Fly me in a rocket to the moon I'm leaving soon All that I ever want to be Is sailing free, the endless sea Eternity If time is like a mobius strip And we are on a continuous trip Passing through concentric planes Our cosmic energy remains I want to be a cosmonaut across space and time Going outside through, and yestermorrow Fly me in a rocket to the moon . . . I want to gaze in the eye of the moon A portal through time Decipher ancient runes And then while I'm way, I'll write home every day 'bout why the man in the moon is grinning Fly me in a rocket to the moon . . .
