In Search of Space
Hawkwind - We Took the Wrong Step Years Ago (1971 / Space Rock)
Hello internet pals of music. Today we’re listening to a wistful tune by the Space Rock pioneers.

The state of the world is bewildering, that is, it is thoroughly luring us into the woods, as the origins of the word define. It seems to always have been, though, which might give us some solace in remembering. It’s just that it’s genuinely unnerving to think about where we find ourselves now: the result of how amazing humans are, and how ineffectual we are making “it” work.
“You’re smart, but you’re also really dumb”.
Seems pretty easy to universally apply, drape it over our collective mass like a wet blanket of animal skin, our primordial defense against the natural world.
