1. 'Eruption' was formed in 1974 in London by vocalist Precious Wilson, lead guitarist Greg Perrineau, bassist Morgan Perrineau, keyboardist Gerry Williams, and drummer Eric Kingsley. Wilson was born in Jamaica and she moved with her family to Great Britain at the age of seven. The other members of the band came from different parts of the Caribbean and Africa. In 1975, their winning of an RCA Soul Search Contest in England brought them a record deal and their first single "Let Me Take Your Back in Time" (1976) figured prominently in the soul charts. In 1977, Boney M.'s producer Frank Farian took Eruption under his wing and signed the group with Germany-based Hansa Records. Their 1978 cover of "I Can't Stand the Rain" was a big hit internationally, reaching number five in Britain and number 18 in the U.S. (it was their only U.S. Top 40 entry). The success was sealed with "One Way Ticket," which went to number nine in the U.K. the following year. Precious Wilson left the group in 1979 to pursue a solo career and she was replaced with Kim Davies. Eruption disbanded in the mid-'80s and Wilson is the only member of the original lineup who is still active. Though successful as a solo artist, she sometimes tours under the name Eruption with her new group.
2. ERUPTION is a Slovene Thrash metal band that unites the legacy of speed, thrash and classic metal, forming it into their own unique sound. The band was formed in late 2004. They are known for menacing riffs, hard hitting beats, soaring vocals and killer live shows!
3. Another band called "Eruption" was a German avantgarde band founded by Conrad Schnitzler. Eruption performed free-form, improvisational, experimental music, some of which resembles industrial music. A few pieces do have discernible melodies and/or strong rhythmic elements, at times resembling Conrad Schnitzler's earlier work with Tangerine Dream on their Electronic Meditation album. Eruption is notable more as an incubator for later, highly successful Krautrock/Kosmische Musik bands and for the influence the various musicians had on one another than for their releases, which came more than 35 years after the music was recorded.The self-titled album, recordeded in 1970 featured the trio of Freudigmann, Schnitzler and Wolfgang Siedel and was a limited released on the Qbico label.
4. Eruption is a UK Happy Hardcore Producer, Chris Brown. He has many releases on the United Dance Label, and has worked with other prominent producers including DJ Sy, and Force & Styles.

The song One Way Ticket to the Moon by Eruption is a classic blues song about a man who has been left by his lover, giving him a one-way ticket to a life of loneliness and heartbreak. The song's chorus repeatedly uses the phrase "One way ticket to the blues" to emphasize the feeling of depression and hopeless feelings of the singer. The song's melody is upbeat and lively, but its lyrics are melancholic and heart-wrenching.
The beginning of the song starts with the sound of a train whistle blowing, followed by the lyrics that describe a "Choo choo train, tuckin' down the track, gotta travel on it, never comin' back." It suggests that the singer is leaving behind his old life and is now on his way to a new, unknown destination, reflecting on the emotional turmoil that he's going through. Usage of 'Lonely tear drops' indicate the pain of separation and moving on. The song's bridge includes a reference to two iconic songs of that time, 'Lonesome Town' and 'Heartbreak Hotel,' indicating the depth of pain, loneliness, and sadness that the singer is experiencing. The song ends with the chorus highlighting the emotions of the singer in a loop, indicating the cycle of sadness he seems to be stuck on.
