Hey All,
Hope everyone well. Sorry, ive Been a bit absent over the summer. The heatwave and world cup not very conducive to creativity! Here is a song that has had a bit of a chaotic but charmed life. I actually deleted the files to this song a year and a half ago and thought it was gone for ever, but when i got a new ipad recently, it had backed up to an earlier Garageband state and although that meant i lost some new songs i was working on, this one got restored. Swings and roundabouts i guess.
I did a bit of mixing work on it and added some sound effects, perhaps too much? Anyhow here it is. Feedback on any dimension appreciated.

On Wednesday nights
I pick up the transmission from Beijing
That’s when you come around
And we discuss the big picture
On Thursday’s I get a signal from Greenland
Its far out man, what they are planning
We drink the good wine first, of course
In a bid to stop the suffering
A direct feed from Anchorage
Received sometimes on a Friday
But I’m too far gone to understand
And decipher what they’re saying
Saturday I miss a telex from SETI
Informing me of mankind’s greatest discovery
The machine is buzzing, shaking and bleeping
I’m in the dead zone, although I’m not sleeping
I’m waiting for the last broadcast
We’re waiting for the last broadcast
The world is spinning it’s moving too fast
