about

Velvet vocals, sharp lyrics and a Bowie/Byrne groove announces Planetarium's distinctive approach to indie-guitar pop.

This is the first song from the Planetarium album "When An Animal Dreams" (released 01/06/23).

The bass lines on The Future are actually played by both Mullins and ex-Go Between Adele Pickvance - during the verses Mullins substitutes a Fender Telecaster for a bass, while Pickvance drops in a throbbing Greco bass for the bridge / chorus.

lyrics

LYRICS:

We, we’re in the future
We came here together
Looking for something better
Here in the future

And here, here in the future
It’s always tomorrow
There’s a sun we can follow
Into the future
The future

Here, here in the future
You remember the past
But it never lasts
Here in the future

But sometimes, here in the future
The sky’s turning grey
We can’t see the way
Into the future
The future

The future seems very far
The future it feels so hard
The future we don’t know how
But the future it starts right now

Don’t be afraid of the future
We’ll go there together
We’ll make something better
Here in the future

The future seems so far
But the future it starts right now

Don’t be afraid of the future
We’ll go there together
We’ll make something better
Here in the future
