SPACE LULLABYES
This is a set of three lullabies. All of which are based on celestial bodies. These are what I call song sketches. I hope to do some further recording on these songs but as of now, this is them.
Les Vegas - guitar and vocals
Jon Ossman - everything else - keyboards, back-up vocals, chapman stick.
The Earth is Blue
When I was growing up we had not yet seen our planet from space and we assumed that it would look green from afar.
We have since learned that the earth is blue from space due to its being mostly covered with water. This song was taken from another song of mine called Seeds. The chorus of Seeds says
The Earth is blue
The Sun is gold
The Milkey way is silver white
Planet star and Galaxy
They hang like crystal in the night.
In this lullaby the chorus is sung over and over like a round and the plan is to record it with a boys choir. Till then its just me.
On The Moon
In my twenties I was traveling in Europe and I found myself living in a commune in Brussels filled with artists of all sorts. The owner of the place was an older French man who worked for the common Market.
Living in the house was his young daughter (maybe seven years old) and I decided to write a song for her called on the Moon.
Water World
This last one is about the Earth again and the words were written by my friend John Falck
