about

The use of a second bass to add another layer of melody,
give this song an original sound. It starts slowly with soft
and melancholic vocals, and finishes with the voices of
Aldrin and Armstrong landing on the moon, on a wall of
noisy and melodic guitars.

The lyrics :
About a boy, dreaming of flying and exploring the galaxy.

lyrics

He’s flying through the galaxy
Drifting away with no gravity
Exploring trough his telescope
He discovers that he is lost

He flies across the Milky Way
The sky is beautiful every day
He steps on planets yet unknown
A million miles away from home

He travels far into the dark
To find the smile of the brightest Star
Wishing he could be the one
To make her shine

Rocket boy is flying free
Becoming what he wants to be
He always thought love was out there
But there is only dust everywhere

Rocket boy dreams
Rocket boy dreams

Rocket boy dreams
Somewhere beyond the atmosphere
Rocket boy dreams
Somewhere beyond the atmosphere

about

Metrophobia Switzerland

Metrophobia are a Swiss duo (Mark Gmür & José Garrido).

Well-rounded songs, good melodies and a slightly dark production gives them a very distinctive and personal sound.

The songs have rock solid roots, with sweet and light melodies, leaving an aftertaste of bands like Pixies, Teenage Fanclub, Bivouac, Dinosaur Jr, Catherine Wheel, Ride. We even find some reminiscence of the early Lo-Fi scene.
