lyrics

I would like to have stood on the shore
To see the first fish crawl
And the stars are too big to imagine
The distance between them so daunting

I’m sure there are aliens
And maybe they live here with us
But if they are clever enough to be here
I don’t think they’d let us see them

Maybe we’re in a simulation
A cosmic game for godlike fish
The evolution from the nuclear explosions
At the centers of stars long dead

As we swim in a bowl
And the alien fish watch us
Should we proclaim our brilliance?
It’s humbler to be told, isn’t it?

We don’t all learn the same way
Or in equal measure
We are little humans, dreaming large
Convinced it’s all about us

We will come and we will go
We will forget and be forgotten
The cycles will turn
The dust will blow and our shallow tracks will be no more

Let’s be happy while we can, starfish

about

Roger Hammond Amsterdam, Netherlands

Based near Amsterdam. I write, play guitar, sing and record. I try to write interesting lyrics and occasionally I think they are. A lot of the songs end up with a calm sound and emphasize the vocals and acoustic guitar. My early influences were Paul Simon, Tom Waits, Jethro Tull, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Chopin, The Beatles, Elvis Costello, Otis Redding and a ton more along the way ... more
