Song information
For those who know me and follow me on social media, you’re well aware that astronomy is my greatest passion. I’m also deeply fascinated by space travel.

'The Astronaut' is a song about the solitude and exhilaration of exploration, both cosmic and personal. In this case it's about leaving behind the familiar, the astronaut embarks on a journey to a distant planet. Each step is a discovery, each breath a revelation, as he finds not loneliness, but a sense of belonging in the vastness of space. A profound awe and liberation emerge, celebrating the thrill of standing on a new horizon, where, for the first time, he truly feels alive. No longer tethered to the past, the astronaut embraces humanity’s place in the universe, forging a connection with the infinite.

Lyrics
THE ASTRONAUT

by Gerald G

©Copyright 2025

V1
Drifting through the silent void, a traveller in the dark  
Left behind the earth I knew, followed just my heart  
Through the weightless corridors, I whispered to the stars  
Now I stand on foreign ground, light-years from where you are  

CHORUS
New horizon, open wide  
Burning sun in violet skies  
Mountains rise like ancient ghosts  
Whispering secrets no one's known  
I breathe it in, I touch the sky  
And for the first time... 
I feel alive!

V2
Footsteps left in crimson sand, I'm the first to ever be
Rivers carved by time alone, untouched by memory
Amber trees with silver leaves hum in the cosmic wind
In this quiet solitude, I finally begin

CHORUS



INSTRUMENTAL

V3
No voices call me back, no echoes of before  
Here I stand as something new, I don’t feel lost anymore  
The universe is endless, and I am part of its design  
This planet knows my name now, it’s written into time  

CHORUS

You've been prolific lately!
Reminds me of New Order, Human League and Kaftwerk. I imagine these bands are major influences on your style. 
Kathy has a lovely sound in her vocals too. 
Enjoyed my listen even though it's not a genre I listen to very often.

Another absolute gem. Your lyrics are stellar! (Pun intended of course!) 
Your vocal delivery SHINES as per usual.
You'd have been a star back in the 80s. This sounds as good as the BEST stuff from that era while still sounding fresh today. That you always seem to effortlessly pull it off is a testment to your talent.
Be well friend!

Cool! Got a nice 90s feel to this. I love sci-fi outer space as well. Nicely done. What a voice!
As always a super well produced track. Excellent vocals. I do share your interest in astronomy and the universe.
