#newmusic Spaceship is a song that means a great deal to me. I began writing this song in 2019 during a deep, dark depression. The lyrics reflect the only way I could describe the intense loneliness and hopelessness I was feeling. As we were recording this song we tried to implement as many tiny Easter eggs referencing that time in my life as possible. For instance, when I originally wrote the song, I worked at Henson Recording Studios as a runner which is referenced in the second verse; in some darker moments, I often listened to Aphex Twin, so in an attempt to replicate Bucephalus Bouncing Ball we dropped a basketball near a mic instead of a kick drum. It was at the end of the recording when looking for a finale to this song, I had the thought to pick up my copy of Howl and enter the recording booth. A mentor of mine introduced me to beat poetry and the works of Kerouac and Ginsberg. It was Howl that called to me most deeply. Spaceship is a song more important to me than most. It is an expression of my pain at my most painful. It culminates into a reflection via the voices and inspirations that I have gained as a result of staying on this earth through it all. In its dissonance and darkness, it is ultimately a hopeful song.
