For my initial song of the Unknown Unit Of Time, I will pull out the song that absolutely rocked the socks off of any other song I've ever heard. It's by a band that no longer exists (sadly) called Grammatrain. They were one of the coolest bands ever, and I never got to see them *cries*. The song is called Rocketship. Here's a link to amazon.com where you can listen to the 30 second demo to at least get a feel for it.
Heres the lyrics (or at least close, I'm not sure where I lost my CD case to, so I can't look in the liner):
Do you have a rocketship I could fly?
We could watch the world grow small from the sky.
Set a course and leave this place for a while,
we could leave, we would see the world a different size.
Chorus:
Let's fly our rocketship off of the ground.
C'mon and break thru the speed of sound.
Sometimes I feel caged inside my lifespan.
If i saw the earth as a distant land,
all my problems would feel like grains of sand
sifting through, sifting through, sifting through my hand.
Bridge:
Jesus holds space and time.
My soul will never die.
Now, whether you are religious or not, or of a different religion, I'm sure you can identify with wanting to get away. The ability to see things with a different perspective can make what were humongous problems seem so much smaller and more managable. So, besides absolutely rocking, the song has really good lyrics too. Hope ya like it!

Gosh, I'm sorry honey, but that song just did not do it for me. Can we still be friends? ^.^
hehe, yes. perhaps you have to be a musician to dig the odd time signature groove thingy ^^
