In 1977, Carl Sagan led a committee to gather images and sounds they wanted to represent humanity. They put it on two records and sent them off with Voyager 1 and 2, in hopes that extraterrestrial life would discover them.
lyrics
Across a new ocean
I think I hear you far away
I sing a song
And put it in a bottle
I give it to the interstellar waves
The future’s nice
In the starlight
Dear stranger
Somewhere in the Milky Way
Will my message reach you soon?
I’m terrified it will
I’m terrified it won’t
I wanna see the light
Of a different moon
The future’s nice
In the starlight
Hello, are you out there
Hello, I’m here
We want to make contact
We gave you a code to crack
Please write us back
The future’s spooky
In the starlight

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
