Attention campers! Don't forget to listen to the music before you leave here - (click on this)

This song was never recorded, and it's too bad because the melody is beautiful, the chord
progression is great, and the science fiction concept is still ahead of its time.

Dark Side of the Moon

See those lines on Mars, ruby of the stars
It's come too soon
They'll put neon lights on the dark side of the moon

Highways grey through green, straight lines in between
They'll drive on through
They'll put neon lights on the dark side of the moon

Oh they say those neon lights look bright up in orbit
You can watch them blink as you sip your drink at the bar
On the daylight side you can take a ride and sip cola to keep you cool
You can ride with pride on the bright side of the moon

Seed of earthly things, speed toward Saturn's rings
You push on through
You'll put neon lights on the dark side of the moon

Commentary:

Pink Floyd used this same title for one of their albums but I beat them to it by over 20 years. Here's another one of my science fiction themes expressed in music. This one is about how Man tries to shape nature to fit his own desires, changing the perfect into the imperfect and creating La La Land on the pristine surface of our pure romantic moon.
