This was originally an incomplete (but well produced) demo with just rhythm guitar, a tambourine for rhythm, a cool guitar lead, and actually very good vocals. It remained in that state for over 10 years! I’ve since completed it (in 2000) by adding drums and bass.

The vocals and guitar leads have a unique sense of pain of the desperation felt by the Space Traveler before he leaves his homeworld. Interesting, too is the fact that this was written during a rough time in my college life, and that kind of comes out in the playing and singing, which is why I like it. This song does have a kind of a desperate feel to it. The genre could be classified as either Progressive Rock or Folk Rock. I decided that the tambourine from the original track gave it a bit of a Folk feel, so here it is.
