The loneliness of being an astronaut

science fiction

The RT Project

Hopefully intelligent, upbeat, pop rock - plus multiple other genres and rabbit holes I enter

The band is ME - plus any collaborators I can convince to come along for the ride. I love the process of song writing and production - I hope some others get some enjoyments - or chuckles out of these tunes.

Lyrics

So Alone  

Words & Music Ron Tintner & Andrew Richardson 2025, ASCAP

My capsule's falling from the sky
It rockets through the atmosphere, starts its final dive
Heat shield activates, aligns then locks in place
As I rejoin the human race

We'd walk the beach hand in hand 
Listening to the waves, lying in the sand 
These are the memories I'd constantly replay 
Before I heard the news... yesterday

CHORUS:
I watch the clock count down
The hours till I touch the ground. And then I’ll 
Face the fact that you are gone
And I’m all alone

Life was so simple back in space 
Unaware of life back home, no contact with our base
Forever pushing buttons, as I’m locked onto my screen
Becoming one with the machine

CHORUS

BRIDGE: 
Drifting and dreaming I know that it seems like I'm 
Helpless and hopeless on earth
Confused, bewildered and lost 
Though I’m back at the place of my birth
I don't know which way to turn or what I need to learn
Help me, I haven't a clue
I need some direction I don't know what to do

The clocks on earth won't dial back for me
Life can never be the way it used to be

CHORUS

Tag: I’ve never felt so all alone
