Leda

This is a mini-epic about a space disaster with a reference to Greek mythology. It might be the most ambitious song I've attempted this year so far. It certainly utilized the most tracks in Reaper. I garbled some of the vocals to simulate the glitchy communication signals. Then I switched it up at the end so you can hear the other side of the conversation, although I suppose it's not really a "conversation" as neither side can hear or understand each other.

Leda we're losing your signal do you copy?
^@*+#*
Trying to trace your path from your last know coordinates
^@*+#*
Rescue ship's set its course towards the constellation Cygnus
Now just hang on and please don't disappear on us completely
Leda did you never learn to steer clear of swans?
^@*+#*
Don't know what's gone wrong but surely it's an omen
^@*+#*
I know you're still there somewhere floating through cold and silence
I never wanted this just hang on Leda please don't leave me
^@*+#*
^@*+#*
System's locked up and alarms have started ringing
^@*+#*
We're losing power can anybody hear me?
^@*+#*
Never understood the true meaning of endless
^@*+#*
Surrounded on every side by purest nothing
^@*+#*
