about
Looking for Venus
(A Space Opereta)
The first of a small collection of bedroom pop songs, naked and nude from the deeper analysis & arrangements that time and care allow. I choose to release this songs for everyone, bare as they first came out in the studio at home.
I used both guitar, bass and synthesizers to compose the parts while I was recording, sang along as the stream of words and tunes came & programmed the drums & percussions trying to convey the rhythms pounding in my head.
I tracked, mixed & mastered with cheap equipment never planning to release this first drafts...
...but I want to set the doves free now.
Hope everyone enjoys!
Micky Stoner
lyrics
LOOKING FOR VENUS
Where do you come from and...
where do you go...
Tell me oh! Traveller!
Maybe then I'll let you go
I'm looking for Venus
but I think I have lost my way home
Stop pretending!
I know what your real intentions are!
You're the most wanted outlaw
in this side of the red dwarf star
And now The System is on you!
You'll never get me alive!
Retrieve the anchor and drive us to the nearest star!
And though I have lost you
can still feel it somehow
I've been looking for Venus
I've been looking for years now!
It might be home this time!
