about

This all started with an article I read about "MESSENGER," which is an acronym for "MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging." It was the seventh Discovery class mission, and the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury. Its primary goal was to study the geology, magnetic field, and chemical composition of the planet. After I read this article, I wished a similar project could roll around our planet and study mankind and the effects that the social-media driven culture is having on our ability to communicate and have empathy and compassion for one another.

lyrics

Talk to a human
Give a dog a bone
Press one two three
Pound key at the tone
Drive by satellite
To get home
Blame retrograde
And sleep alone
Alone
Alone online
Looking for some water
Or a sign … of life
Press star one nine
Please hold
To reach mankind

Messenger to Mercury
Messenger to Mercury
I want to talk to a human

Talk to a human
Only if it pays
It’s dog eat dog
On the race to space
Download
Update
Phone to face
The big machine
Knows our place
In line
Alone in line
We’re Bumper to bumper
In the daily grind
They troll
The rabbit-hole
Please hold
To keep your soul

Messenger to Mercury
Messenger to Mercury …
I want to talk to a human

Messenger to Mercury
Where is my humanity
Messenger to Mercury
Where is my humanity

Talk to a human
How they gonna hear
I’m invisible to them
Let me be clear
It’s about the money
Honey ain’t about you
Unplug the yellow
Try the blue
Alright
I’m back online
Looking for somebody
Or a sign
Of life
Press star one nine
Please hold to reach mankind
Please hold to reach mankind
Please hold me
Please hold me

Please hold to reach mankind
Please hold to reach mankind
Please hold me
I want to talk to a human
