about

Last year, I took a break from writing with other people to make my own record. I wanted it to be influenced by The Gorrilaz, Santigold, Chrvches ; think pop meets synth. I started my life in the music business as a drummer ( Ani Difranco), then made a few records of my own material (RCA ) and then moved into co-writing and producing for other people. When I started on this new project, I never thought I would end up writing and producing everything by myself. The whole time I was working, I just figured, at some point, a savior producer would jump in. But, ultimately, I just kept plugging away writing and coming up with sounds, doing it all myself, and, as a result, I ended up pouring every ounce of my soul into this. This was a long journey but now I can say I know what it feels like to be in complete control of my art. “Rocket Ship” is one of 8 songs on an unreleased record called "Debut". I decided to go under the band name “White Elephant Orchestra to free myself artistically; from the “drummer” to the solo artist of what were my “guitar years”. My goal with it was to write pop songs using non-pop friendly sounds so I hope you can hear that.

lyrics

Rocket Ship

Everybody’s low low
Like they’ve never been before
Even the radio waves
Can’t even reach the shore

When I look round
The world looks tired
Have not slept in a long long while
Maybe we could jump on board for just one second

Na
Yeah
We need to build a rocket ship
Na
Just to get away from this
No I'm not giving up
Just need a holiday
To take us higher
Even for a day
Na
Yeah
So take me on board

The people usually last
Will fly first class
The people usually first
Will push right from the back

Yeah maybe
I shouldn’t say this
World looks tired and they can’t save us
Maybe we could take a break for just one second

Na
Yeah
We need to build a rocket ship...

Solo

Na
Yeah
We need to build a rocket ship...
