about

April 12th, 2011. Exactly 50 years after Jurij Gagarin became the first man in space I was writing a song. I'd heard that Jurij, after leaving Earths atmosphere, said "I don't see any God up here". However there's no official record anywhere of that statement.
Anyways, back then, this was prime time news broadcasted all over the world. It got me thinking that in theory these news transmissions could now be almost 50 light years out in space. If someone was there receiving them it would be todays news for them. Our past will always be present somewhere.

lyrics

Fifty light years out in space
News is that another race
Broke the chains of gravity
Knows now there’s no deity

Way out there
Someone might just hear
Fifty years from now

Fifteen feet of concrete wall
Erected on this very fall
Shatters a society
89 will set them free

Way out there
Someone might just hear
Fifty years from now

Far from here
Someone sheds a tear
Fifty light years out

In the end
We’re just only
Dust adrift in space

Someone out there
Someone, somehow might care
Someone out there
Someone or something will hear
