I was about to give up on this song, so I tried rewriting the lyrics from scratch. The second round seemed to work a little better, and I stuck with it.
There are still some structural and mix issues, a couple of bum notes. It's sometimes easier to hear those things after the song is recorded!
Rising from your sofa
Floating on your lead
Another boring Wednesday
Here in zero g
Step outside
Step outside your…
Weightless in the mess hall
Sunlight peeking through
Staring out a porthole
Moving next to you
Step outside
Step outside your…
Could we have it better?
In you I still believe
Dancing in slow motion
As planet earth recedes
Step outside
Step outside your…
So raise a toast to summer
Raise a toast to wind
Bouncing off the grey walls
Until the bitter end
Step outside
Step outside your…

This is up my street.
Love the guitar sound you're getting, and paired with the simple drum machine and subtle bass is great.
Very lazy and dreamy, and summer time, captures the mood perfectly.

I like the minimal reverb drenched sound. It goes from sounding a bit like Bauhaus when you’re singing to Pink Floyd in the solo bits

It's not very often I listen to something that makes me feel like I'm in space and on a white-sand beach at the same time, yet here we are. I can't tell if my right hand is holding a pina colada or a delicious tube of applesauce and beef.
I'm glad you didn't give up on this. The lyrics, with their brevity and waftiness, suit the subject matter well. The production is excellent, and hearing the little flourishes for the first time is like finding buried treasures.

Step outside your WHAT? I need closure!!! lol... This has a great, dreamy feel that made me immediately want to listen to it again. So I did. Looking forward to more!

Really lovely guitar tone and construction to the whole song, nice storytelling too with gray imagery.

Love the vibe and the ethereal nature of the vocals. I can see myself while floating around the space station. Nicely done.
