A soulful original song I wrote about being alone in space in an asteroid field. It's almost a wailing blues type song. I felt every note of it!!! There's no escape and one has to avoid being destroyed. It's a simple metaphor for how one survives the hard knocks in life. My favourite video game is "Asteroids" from the late 1970s/80s, and I have an old version for the PC. In this recording, I used a Boss tremolo pedal and the overdrive on my Fender champion amp on my German Brüko ukulele. Cheerio! Ukulele Chords can be found here: https://peterforrest.ca/sheet-music-ukulele/ Lyrics ===== Asteroids, swirling around me are asteroids Asteroids, on a lonely ship with one soul That's gonna come crashing down! Asteroids, in life, one should avoid Asteroids, they'll take a toll, on your soul That's gonna come crashing down! Some make it through Others never do It's lonely, so lonely in space. Ukulele: Brüko custom soprano
