about

Voyager 1 is the farthest man-made object from Earth, with Voyager 2 following close ("close") behind, and Pioneers 10 and 11 a bit further back and on their way outside the Sol system. Tossed into the void by a combination of rocket propellant and gravitational slingshots around our larger neighbours Jupiter and Saturn, they are currently tumbling into interstellar space, living up to their names for the foreseeable future and beyond.

lyrics

A shot across a distant night,
a sea of stars and satellites,
a course elliptical to the edge of the sky

Will the pull of Saturn's massive weight
carry me away into the dark?

A comet's tail in twilight flight
between the bands of pin-point lights
of ultraviolet in a hydrogen glow

A journey past the heliosphere
of Voyagers and Pioneers,
a course unbreakable 'til the end of the world

I live on an island.
I make dreamy, vaguely nautical pop.
