Bye June

I feel this song is a ballad of hope and yearning for a goal. Perhaps leaving for a distant place or new home. Going to the moon is maybe a metaphor for a dark, mysterious destination. The main lyric and title suggests that you're leaving behind someone, something.

To me this song is a kind of suicide note to a former lover. "I hope you make it soon" symbolises that they'll be together again in death. "I'm wishing you're there too" gives me Romeo & Juliet-vibes - what he really wanted was for her to die with him (or probably right before he leaves this world).

Does this song only have an acoustic version?

I'm thinking this song relates to the story that Billy wrote "Glass and the Machines of God".

yeah, where is this song besides that cd labeled "acoustic" that a friend burned for me... it's neat

Well, Mr. "stupid name"...

This song was on the Lull E.P., along with Rhinocerous, Blue, and Slunk.

this song always reminds me of my aunt june who died somewhat recently. it makes me somewhat sad and then somewhat happy at the same time.

the lyrics oddly fit.

"Remember the good ole 1980's? When things were so uncomplicated? I wish I could go back there again And everything could be the same

I've got a ticket to the moon I'll be leaving here any day soon Yeah, I've got a ticket to the moon But I'd rather see the sunrise in your eyes"
