This is just a super quick one-take recording of a song about space. Just thought I would throw something together and see if someone wanted to join in getting a simple song together.
Just some lines to start it off with:
V1
Don't know where I'm at
I don't know this place
But I'm on my way
Heading into space
Sweat runs down my face
V2
Don't know how this ends
Don't know what this is
Keep checking my gage
Wondering which way
Venture above and beyond
C
Put my flag in the ground
First man on the moon
There's no way back now
V3
I just had to go
Couldn’t stay no more
I don’t want to live
Wondering «what if?»
C
Put my flag in the ground
First man on the moon
There's no way back now
Ok, here I go
One big leap
And I’m down
Ram the flag in the ground

Very good song. I love the chords in the chorus!

Thanks @calfman8803!

Awesome work. The smooth transitions between the light and dark of the lyrics accompanied by the guitar really sell the melancholy.

Thank you @skibum1066!

Easy listen. Good guitar. Your voice is engaging. Thanks

Thanks, @gorban, for
those kind words!

I like how the 5th line in V1 feels like the song is going into a chorus but then it surprises with V2. The real chorus after V2 indeed proves that line 5 relates to chorus (same melody).
Overall, a very solid song and so good for one take performance. Your voice works very well here.

Thanks @splittybooms! Appreciate it! Just checked out your profile and I can see what you mean :-D Very different style, but very cool though!

Great vocals/voice!
The vocal melody is nice, too; its catchy. Really like the melody for the beginning of each second line (i just had to go/i don't want to live).
They combine with what you're doing on the guitar quite nicely; super moody and just sounds really good to my ears.
I came here from your post in the forums about a collab because i saw "space song", which I'm a sucker for. But unfortunately this style isn't in my wheelhouse.
To be completely honest, this stands on its own. I'm sure much could be added, but it sounds perfect as-is.

@intoyourlight Thanks Jil! Appreciate it! Really enjoyed listening to your stuff too!

The beginning of the song already drew me in. I really really like your voice. Very soothing and evoking all kinds of feelings. So wonderful!
