Gyakuten This is the most difficult choice I've ever had to make for "favorite track" on Bandcamp. Not only is every song on here fantastic, committing fully to the Romeo-and-Juliet-on-Mars concept with all the sentimentality and passion that that entails, but every single song plays a crucial role in the album's beautiful, harrowing, and tragic tale of romance. In the end, I picked "Beaches of Mars" for how it celebrates the courage to love and explore despite challenges both cosmic and human. Favorite track: Beaches of Mars.

- Mr. Tusk, President of Mars - So, you’d like to learn about the future? Well, you’ve come to the right man, because anyone who’s anyone in this city can tell you the future..is me! Welcome to the future! We move at quite a speed And the plethora of options have whatever you may need Computers handle everything from bank accounts to cars But what more could you expect from me, I brought us here to Mars See, I’m the CEO of every business that you know I built a fortune on my own, my father just gave me a small loan Governments are antiquated, Senators are boring So I handle the responsibilities they were ignoring, like Gentrifying neighborhoods and kicking out the poor If you can’t afford to kiss my feet, I’ll boot you out the door Technology’s gone crazy and it’s made us rather lazy But don’t stop to smell the daisies ‘cause you can’t, they went extinct last year. Deborah, cancel my next appointment And send my daughter a large stuffed animal. I think her birthday was last year. What do you mean, they don’t make those anymore? Have the teddy bear store manager executed! Alright, love you too. Welcome to the future! Now don’t step out of line Cause the military, popo and the judges are all mine I can read it on your face, you find no comfort in this place Well worry not, if you want, I can shoot you into space You wouldn’t like it down there with the peasants of the street They try to mock me and all my achievements, calling me elite But they wouldn't know progress if it hit them in the head So they will stay there in their little world until they’re dead! Yes, Welcome to the Future; a utopia to see! If the people down there cannot get along, that’s fine with me We never solved equality, we just ran out of time So I sit up here and rule and make money, is that a crime? We tell the people what they want to hear so they’ll get mad And they look for those unlike themselves to blame and label “bad” So I provide the propaganda, weapons and stage And the money keeps on coming while they fester in their rage Why does everyone think I’m a monster? Why can’t anyone see that I’m right? Don’t they know it would be a disaster If I wasn’t here to add to their plight? Welcome to the Future where I control the press Everyone in high society is shielded from the mess As long as there’s division, separation down below Then the wealthy will stay wealthy, I’m the only one who’ll know Oh Welcome to the Future, now I must bid you adieu There’s Billions to misinform and idiots to screw! The secret to my riches is I don’t give it away Not to workers, not to taxes, And NOT to Charity

- Leo - Late Night Cigarettes Neon Lights Reflecting Cold Wet Silhouettes Mirror Eyes When you’re lost, your brothers Never run away Cause you’re a Rocket til your last dying day - Apollo - Never afraid Because we got your back And if they mess with you Rockets are on attack Tell the whole damn city That we are on the top From the nightclubs To your favorite pizza shop - Leo - We’re the Rockets, son Now gonna hold on tight We gonna blast off Burning like dynamite We’re the talk of the town Yeah we’re the gang to be feared All the Martian pigs know our name is revered - Apollo - Rain-laced midnight Bloody knife Once you’re a Rocket, You’re a Rocket for life We’ll stand together On the fringe of death Never giving in Until the final breath - Together - Douse the torchlight Clothed in midnight Never strangers with the shadows Rockets burn bright Down with parasites In their ivory tower chateaus

Sunrise 04:59
- Leo - I lay every evening in my room Overwhelmed by the terrifying gloom People are screaming, fighting for selfish dreams And nothing is as it seems And the darkness envelops everything But every dawn, the fear is gone The sun always rises I still believe love can achieve A world of surprises The government’s run like a business The children all doubt their existence Pertinent poisoned propaganda persists And money is worthless Nobody even bothers to coexist But every dawn, the fear is gone The sun always rises I still believe love can achieve A world of surprises Who knows if there’s someone out there Out in the high-rises Who has a dream a lot like me Whose voice harmonizes Hear the sound of the people Hear the sound of the crowd Hear the sound of the city Reaching to touch the clouds Hear the bustling traffic Of the flying cars Hear the crashing ocean waves on the beaches of mars But every dawn, the fear is gone The sun always rises I still believe love can achieve A world of surprises Who knows if there’s someone out there Out in the high-rises Who has a dream a lot like me Whose voice harmonizes

- Leo - You You are my first love I’ll never let go of These petals, they are you These moments, they’re the root Root for us to win This space is wearing thin And every talk online I told you I was fine Find a way to me ‘Cause I will always be The one that you can call I’ll never leave at all All your fails and tries You secretly disguise Won’t change how I feel ‘Cause darling, this is real You’re the wind in my sail You’re my never ending trail Oh, I’d crash like the rain Just to see your face again Millions of miles Can’t make me forget your smile Oh, I’d travel the world Just to ask if you’d be my girl Help Help me understand The quivers in my hand Am I hunting game Or am I the deer? Dearest to my heart It tears me apart Do you love me too? I pace around me room Room of distant powers Oh, can I buy you flowers? Do you wanna dance Or is this dumb romance? Can I get a second chance? Should I take another stance? Should I stop what I am doing And then run to you, my darling? You’re the wind in my sail You’re my never ending trail Oh, I’d crash like the rain Just to see your face again Millions of miles Can’t make me forget your smile Oh, I’d travel the world Just to ask if you’d be my girl

- Aurora - I felt the wind of the moonlight kiss me When I heard you say my name My whole life, I’ve been trapped in a nightmare Every day just felt the same (Just felt the same) - Leo - I’m melting into your eyes I never thought I would feel this again It’s like a billion lights Filled up my heart tonight Your crystalline figure is dopamine Babe, you’re like nothing I’ve seen - Together - You are the Nebula sky Where our dreams intertwine And paint the twilight with stars We are one with the night Like the Northern lights As you spin around in my arms - Aurora - We can fly far away from this dreadful place どこかとおくへいっちゃおうよ (dokoka tokue icchaouyo) Just take my hand  さぁ手取って (sa tewo totte) Don’t you know, that they’ll never leave us alone  僕には君だけがいる (bokuniwa kimi dakega iru) So hold me by the sand  それでいい (sorede ii) - Leo - I know this isn’t safe Our worlds are the brink of war It could be the end If they know where we’ve been But in my dreams There are no sides or teams Just you and me - Together - You are the Nebula sky Where our dreams intertwine And paint the twilight with stars We are one with the night Like the Northern lights As you spin around in my arms Tonight Take Flight With the touch of a hand You are the Nebula sky Where our dreams intertwine And paint the twilight with stars We are one with the night Like the Northern lights As you spin around in my arms Your love is a fireblast Unbound by the past Igniting the galaxy spark We are one with the night Like the Northern lights As you spin around in my arms

- Atlas - Countdown to the sound of engines blasting off the charred ground Of planets we’ve not found Say Farewell to the gravity Clenching tight to our humanity Are you coming with me? We made a landing at home, you held to my hand An ocean lightyears away, feet under the sand Were the tidal waves our haven or just our graves? And as the pillars of smoke disperse in the sky The colors fade from my face, and tears from my eye It’ll be alright We’ll meet again in the moonlight You’re never too far For someone to take you home We need it now and then, Remember Reach for the stars on the Beaches of Mars Tend to your scars, if it hurts, keep on playing your guitar You’re going to live again! It was a fight to the death, a symphony kiss Will there be moments I lose, and music I’ll miss Carry on for me, Now onward to victory I know you’re leaving and thinking of hiding away But don’t you dare let the warmth of our hearts dissipate If we’re energy We’ll go on for eternity Countdown to the sound of engines blasting off the charred ground Of planets we’ve not found Say Farewell to the gravity Passing on from our galaxy I’m begging for you to see You’re never too far For someone to take you home We need it now and then, Remember Reach for the stars on the Beaches of Mars Tend to your scars, if it hurts, keep on playing your guitar You’re going to live again! And now we’re waving goodbye to lovers and friends I feel a tear trickle down as one story ends Even now, it stings The beauty of fleeting things Until I’m gone, you’ll live on in my memory The times we laughed and we screamed, are for us to keep Til we float again With a new constellation
10.
- Leo - Every day, it’s struggle just to stay awake Every night, you lie all alone, half-baked But you hear the ethereal wind call your name Every weekend bend spends another dream And you don’t think anyone can hear you scream Why do lovers hurt each other all the same? Every tear soaked road on the way back home To your empty flat where you live alone Is an endless cycle you can’t seem to break And you try to fake it, and medicate it To keep the anxiety at bay, it’s another weight your heart can’t seem to take Some day, this will fade away And the pain won’t have to stay Drive away with me Drive away with me Never let them break you down Why don’t we get outta town Drive away with me Drive away with me Everyone told me that I should run away That it’s chemical or just naivete But I never thought I’d feel this love again Every angry voice, every neon sign Is the astral city we could leave behind If you close your eyes, I’ll hold you til the end And they’ll never understand why I would gladly give my life Just to see your wounded spirit finally mend Some day, this will fade away And the pain won’t have to stay Drive away with me Drive away with me Never let them break you down Why don’t we get outta town Drive away with me Drive away with me Drive, Drive, Drive, Drive Away (4x) There’s a new horizon in your eyes Burning as the sun and earth collide We can shut em out, their rules and lies If you wanna take a ride tonight Some day, this will fade away And the pain won’t have to stay Some day, this will fade away And the pain won’t have to stay Drive away with me Drive away with me Never let them break you down Why don’t we get outta town Drive away with me Drive away with me Somewhere there’s a place for you And me to start anew Drive away with me Drive away with me Never let them break you down You can drown it out and turn up the sound Drive away with me Drive away with me
11.
- Leo - Well I know it by heart, You can sing if you want to If you turn out the lights, I won't tell anyone You got a mess on your face, all the wine and the fondue Saying “Playing it safe never was any fun!” “Did you hear that Luna’s having a kid With the guy who works nights at the power grid” I said “I was shocked when I heard the news” You laughed and said you oughta give me a bruise Take another bad photo with me If you want, I just toss it back into the sea I forget what we’re having to drink Cause your lips on mine make it harder to think We built a castle out of our broken hearts Undressed at midnight, Our walls will fall apart Now I can see you, Beautiful, Unafraid And Soaring Higher on our Astral Promenade Well, I know it’s getting late, and you work in the morning But I want to hold you just a minute more Getting high as hell, we know all too well That it’s time to leave the carousel Just be sure to pick our clothes up off the floor
12.
- Mr. Ripley - Mr. Woodward, you’re not listening to me! How many times do I have to tell you? This is not your company! You work for me, you lousy Martian! And until the day comes when it's your name plastered on the side of this building, what I say goes! - Mr. Woodward - I work a desk job Run by a crime mob Just wanna make some money My wife left me But what a deadbeat I never thought she was funny And every politician’s out there taking a leak The opulent arrest you just for trying to speak My neighbor got shot by the police last week And no one seems to notice, baby I’m gonna freak The wealthy human urge To conquer and purge Is why they built this city They patronize us And demonize us Don’t even offer us pity And everywhere you look, they try to advertise Another product begging you to gluttonize I think it’s high time someone finally rise And fight back! Let’s start a revolution tonight Ooohh We wanna make it right And we’re not afraid to die It’s our bloodshed It’s our moment It’s our time, even if we’re broken Ooohh It’s a Martian Revolution Yeah! Take us to your leader Take us to the boss Make the Man pay, Burn the City We’ll avenge the lost! Hear the sound of the people Hear the sound of the crowds Hear the sound of the city reaching up to touch the clouds I’m popping advil Because our landfill Is taking over the planet Bad information On every station A self-addictive habit Ooohh We wanna make it right And we’re not afraid to die It’s our bloodshed It’s our moment It’s our time, even if we’re broken Ooohh It’s a Martian Revolution

- Bolt - So heard that there’s a girl Just a Martian or an Android, oh I can’t remember She’s been seen out with a boy Said to be one of the Rockets, or perhaps a decoy - Leo - Listen guys, I can explain She means the universe to me, I never meant to sound insane All we want is harmony If you’ll just let us be, I promise we’re still on the same team - Bolt - There’s a knock at the doors of destiny Now we know that you sleep with the enemy Are you trying to betray humanity Is there nothing you wanna say to me? This world isn’t kind to affection We’re the Rockets who offer protection To the best of my recollection Weren’t you the one who started this faction? - Leo - I just wanted someone with a dream like me - Bolt - You are losing your grip with reality - Together - Do we run or can we learn from warnings If we want to try and survive until morning LOOK OUT!! - Leo - You know nothing about her people Don’t try to tell me that they’re all evil - Bolt - You don’t understand Martians at all Everyone here can see it’s your downfall Circumventing us was a bad call They will leave you dead at the city hall This is not a game, this is warfare We are warning you, don’t you dare Going down this path leads to despair They are not like us, no they don’t care - Leo - I just wanted someone with a dream like me - Bolt - You are losing your grip with reality - Together - Do we run or can we learn from warnings If we want to try and survive until morning This is your final warning

- Mars, Wind and Fire - She She walks a narrow path between impending death and loving apathy And every lie she heard was like a sharpened word cutting to make her bleed The planets were aligned, she thought it was a sign fulfilling all her dreams But maybe it was never meant to be He He made a damning choice to be a single voice against the family And now his brother’s blood is washing like a flood over a victory Why did he break her heart with a secret that tore them apart at the seams? Well, maybe it was never meant to be It was never meant to be It was never meant to be The stars have disappeared and the future still remains unclear But when you love somebody and you lose somebody Does it even matter at all Our dreams are left behind and the city still remains unkind But when you love somebody and you lose somebody Does it even matter at all
16.
- Leo - Chaos Cold Hearts Tear us Apart But we’ve always made it out before Somehow Somewhere We learn To Care Just gotta open up the door With the world in shambles How will we know When a dying people Can regrow Light the Mourning Candles For those who’ve gone So the future brings us A new dawn Wisdom Folly Death comes Softly Where do comets go when they are done Silence Rebirth On This New Earth And we stand together as one We could redefine the constructs that hold back society We could treat each other with the love I hope you’d offer me We could leave behind the war, the lies, the anger and the greed We could make a world together without inequality With the world in shambles How will we know When a dying people Can regrow Light the mourning candles For those who’ve gone So the future brings us A new dawn We stand together as one We stand together as one (4x) - Epic Sax Solo - With the world in shambles How will we know When a dying people Can regrow Light the mourning candles For those who’ve gone So the future brings us A new dawn Can we find forgiveness Within ourselves Try to make a heaven Out of hell Light the mourning candles For those who’ve gone So the future brings us A new dawn
17.
- Aurora - We tried and tried to make it work But all we did was make things worse What was I thinking? Our love set off alarms Now you’re lying in my arms And you’re not blinking People are screaming, fighting for selfish dreams And the hands of time have intervened Now the radiant light you shared will remain unseen Open your eyes Let me see you one more time Open your eyes So the stars will realign If I plead for your hand To be warm once again Would you always be mine? Open your eyes Tell me everything’s alright The broken city where we danced Has got a healing second chance Like in our dreams But with the chilling morning breeze The pain will bring me to my knees Baby come back to me Open your eyes Let me see you one more time Open your eyes So the stars will realign If I plead for your hand To be warm once again Would you always be mine? Open your eyes Tell me everything’s alright I opened up my eyes and then I realize It was just a dream No more pain or lies, no true love to disguise You were just a dream

about

Beaches of Mars is the story of two young lovers from a neon-drenched city on a colonized Martian world in the long distant future. The love they share is forbidden, as Martians and Humans don't co-exist peacefully, but the two hope that one day, their worlds will learn that love is stronger than death.
