about

originally recorded by fuhry in 2015 or so and causing him to go "hmm, this sounds like a beyond-o-matic song", this song went through a mind-numbing number of iterations, including a newly recorded intro and a frank grau re-arrangement and enhancement. This is the hopefully final version of like, a thousand versions.

It's about having a near-religious experience lying on my back and looking up at the stars.

lyrics

late late late late late one night
while we was camping out
far far far far from the light of civilization
stars stars stars stars stars stars stars
nearer and far-far-farther
i i i i glimpsed a truth

oh my motherfucking god

plastered to the side of a spinning sphere floating in space
orbiting a giant ball of atoms fusing
taken for a ride o why are we all here floating in space?
gifted with the sliver of an understanding
sideways on a pile of water and stone floating in space
certain my perception can be no illusion
feel so small yet.. knowing i'm not alone, seeing your face
laughing at the laughing with the laugh among the

great balls of fusion!
thousands of great balls of fusion
millions of great balls of fusion
billions of great balls of fusion
trillions of great balls of fusion
quadrillions of great balls of fusion
quintillions of great balls of fusion
sextillions of great balls of fusion

holy fucking shit


plastered to the side of a spinning sphere floating in space
orbiting a giant ball of atoms fusing
taken for a ride o why are we all here floating in space?
gifted with the sliver of an understanding
sideways on a pile of water and stone floating in space
certain my perception can be no illusion
feel so small yet.. knowing i'm not alone, seeing your face
laughing at the laughing with the laugh among the
