lyrics:

Wake up
There's a new day dawning now
In this alien world
So bright
Better don your shades now
And get right to work

Back home, I bet the bluest sky
Looks down with a cheery smile
But here I'm left
No atmosphere to speak of

At first
I'll admit it sounded fun
An opportunity
A chance
To fulfill a childhood dream
Across the galaxy

Back home, I bet she wonders why
Looks down with a weary smile
At the diamonds we mined
Once upon a time

And oh
The grandeur of it all
I can't help but feel
The vastness of the pall
But here I'll stay
Until the message is received
Watching the Earth
Float beneath my feet

Back home, I bet the bluest sky
Looks down with a weary smile
But here I'm left
No atmosphere to speak of

Wake up
To the light that's flashing now
Look up the code and see
Me and this vessel's souvenir:
A codependency

Back home, I bet they'll wonder why
Turn their eyes to a bluest sky
But here I'm left
No safety rope to speak of

And oh
The grandeur of it all
I can't help but feel
The vastness of the pall
But here I'll stay
Until the message is received
Watching the Earth
Float beneath my feet

No atmosphere

about

The Lunar District Los Angeles, California

Under the moniker Odd Opal, multi-instrumentalist Todd Boepple crafts songs that would feel right at home on any '70s AM radio station.

As someone who grew up loving a wide variety of music, Todd has always had an affinity for late 70s/early 80s synth-based music. The Lunar District allows him the freedom to enjoy and explore that territory liberally.
