Gravity Waves

Psychedelic rock with trippy swung drums, phased guitars, rubbery bass, and a driving cosmic groove; verse stays haze-soaked and sparse, pre-chorus opens with rising toms and reverse swells, chorus hits with stacked gang vocals and a bigger fuzz riff, Close-mic lead vocal with dreamy doubles, delayed hook words, and scattered ad-libs, Ear candy: stereo phaser sweeps, starburst chimes, and a tape-stop before the final lift, Wide, glossy, hallucinatory mix with a bright low end

[Verse 1] Helmet on, eyes wide Drifted past the Moon Took a little silver cap Now the whole sky bends I was built for silence Built for straight command Then the black began to sparkle In my open hand [Pre-Chorus] Spinning slow, then faster Maps all turned to waves I saw a mast of starlight Cutting through the haze [Chorus] Space pirate Ride the gravity waves Space pirate Steal the night, then escape Space pirate Laughing through the void Space pirate I was lost, now I’m void-born [Verse 2] Glass planets at my window Neon fish in rings Gold smoke in the engine And a crown of broken springs Cutlass made of thunder Flag of melted blue I raided every orbit Just to get to you [Pre-Chorus] Spinning slow, then faster Maps all turned to waves I heard the cosmic sirens Calling me to play [Chorus] Space pirate Ride the gravity waves Space pirate Steal the night, then escape Space pirate Laughing through the void Space pirate I was lost, now I’m void-born [Bridge] Past Saturn’s frozen halo Past the comet choir I saw my old life burning Like a paper fire Then the stars started singing In a cracked gold tongue And I raised my hands to zero Where the whole trip comes undone [Final Chorus] Space pirate Ride the gravity waves Space pirate Steal the night, then escape Space pirate Laughing through the void Space pirate I was lost, now I’m void-born Space pirate Ride the gravity waves Space pirate Take my name and run Space pirate I’m the storm between the suns
