She's Leaving For Mars
By Ronald Haselden
all rights reserved, July 2009

She says she's leaving for Mars
She says she will go that far
To get away from his life noir
She'll leave tonight, the reluctant star

Suburban girl a rich man's wife
With house and car and all things nice
But still somehow not worth the price
She'll Leave tonight and won't think twice

She'll take her warmest clothes
And look out for astroids
I hope that Mars is fine this time of Year
She's Leaving for Mars

She'll leave behind the things she lacks
And all those lies she thought were fact
Will melt away, her heart in tact
She'll Leave tonight and won't look back

I hope she wears warm clothes
and looks out for astroids
I hope that Mars is fine this time of year
She's Leaving for Mars

Well it isn't "Linda Goes To Mars" by John Prine but it sure is a keeper, Ron :) Just curious: Looking back now, is there anything different you would do with this song? I'm not saying there is anything that I think should be changed (I like it the way it is) but rather I'm just wondering what you, as the creator and artist, think you might have done differently. Kind regards,

Bob

Hello Bob,

Actually I re-wote and re-recorded this song many times before I had something that didn't make me wanna puke... One person didn't like "life noir" line as I recall, didn't make sense he said, so maybe I would change that line to be more user friendly..... I also would tone down the strings a lot. They are a bit heavy in places, but to be fair I had just bought a used cello at the time and of course I was going to overdo it. Thanks Bob. -Ron

This could be on the radio. Its truly an interesting and entertaining song. Not too overdone at all, its got simple parts and some unexpected changes, it all hangs together very well. Listened to this twice before faving it. Great job man!
