Apollo from Bloom by Nick Cove & The Wandering
I started the lyrics to this one right after college and then was only able to finish it at the start of COVID. It has the space vibes to it, but it is really about being stuck, not knowing how to move forward, and wondering if you yourself are the problem or if your surroundings are the issue. The chorus came from when I was hiking out in Colorado so that is where 303 came from.

Lyrics
It’s Apollo calling the 303
Just waiting for an answer
I need to hear a familiar sound
But any sound will do
When there’s nothing left to burn
And we’re silent in turn
We’ll burn ourselves in our graves
To reignite the flame
Now it’s quiet in my streets
With echoes of a nasty beat
That could chip away what I’ve done
To stay on my feet
It’s Apollo calling the 303
Just waiting for an answer
I need to hear a familiar sound
But any sound will do
It’s Apollo calling the 303
Just waiting for an answer
I need to hear your calming sound
But any sound will do
Any sound will do
I’m struggling to stay inside
Entertained by the death outside
Damn this place, damn this space
Wasting time
Wasting battery
It’s Apollo calling the 303
Just waiting for an answer
I need to hear a familiar sound
But any sound will do
It’s Apollo calling the 303
Just waiting for an answer
I need to hear your calming sound
But any sound will do
Any sound will do
