Not much to say here except I am very satisfied with this one, I think it is a beautiful song and melody.
And I'll reveal a little secret, but suggest you listen to the song before reading the spoiler:
Kometkameratene - Reise / Travel by GMM
This song is actually a clever re-write of On The Road Again, by Willie Nelson. We took the feel and structure of this fantastic track, which has brilliant connotations to traveling, and made a slightly similar, but completely new, different song. Since I have an aversion towards major harmonies, I shifted it into my preferred minor system, and included some typical Kometkameratene major-minor shifts within the same key for those slightly jarring sci-fi elements.
You can hear the main melody ghosted in the chorus lead vocals, where the Captain wonder: "What's out there?" Only one way to find out... travel.
Production wise, I'm not too found of the country, but there are some country elements in the sound. I also included some gypsy elements, like the rhythmical brass and cymbals, hinting towards a roma life spent on the road. There's also a very neat pop-cultural reference in the last section, of which I am particularly proud, where the final banjo solo is a polite nod to the Dueling Banjos segment from Deliverance.
