"Why is Uranus upside down" By Dr Fred Watson. (Not 100% sure that is what the song is called though.

[erick]

"Rocket Man" - Elton John

[erick]

"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" - Lyrics by Jane Taylor (1806), Music from the French melody "Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman" (first published in 1761)

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark,—
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

(In summary - poor "seeing" conditions :sadeyes: for astronomers; apparently good "seeing" conditions for travellers :D)

(ps. thanks Wikipedia)

:lol: Eric !

[sheeny]

There's a heap of Pink Floyd ones...

Here's a few off the top of my head:

Astronomy Domine
Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun
Time (well... it's relativity related...:whistle:)
Fat Old Sun

I know there's more...;)

[Omaroo]

I'm not usually interested in opera, but Alessandro Safina's "Luna" blows me away. Give it a chance - listen to the whole thing, and stare up at the moon while you CRANK it. It's one of those tunes where the chorus crescendo won't leave your head for weeks.

[Ric]

Space Ritual by Hawkwind.:thumbsup:

One for those members who still remember the 70's ;)

OMG! I remember "It's About Time"!



(or was that "It's Time" in 1972 :D)

[RB]

Yep Eric it was called "It's About Time".
Loved coming home from school to watch it. :ashamed:

[erick]

Yep I remember seeing it as well. From the first glimpse, I had the song! I cannot believe the information that stays stored away in my brain! Everything from years ago and nothing of what my Boss told me yesterday! :sadeyes:

[AstralTraveller]

I can add the Vangelis album 'Albedo 0.39'. I think every song is about space. The title track is basically synth effects with someone reading out a list of the Earth's specifications (mass, surface gravitation, oblatness, obliguity of the ecliptic, ..., "albedo 0.39").

Then of course there is:

"And in the ruins of the balloon stood a man with glasses held high,
wondering when ... do it again,
have another fly into the sky,
somewhere flying high,
Astral Traveller..."

[sheeny]

I was a big fan of "It's about Time" too when I was younger.:) And the "Time Tunnel".

What about all those classic space songs that never were...:P
"Give me a home where the asteroids roam..."
"Saturn V Sally" (or was that "Sputnik Sally"?)
"Stairway to Geostationary Orbit"
"Whole Lotta Thrust"
"I can't get no orbital action"
"Moon River" ... whoops, that's a real one!:rolleyes::P

Al.

Another one springs to mind...

Ballroom of Mars (T Rex)

Moon River - Andy Williams
By the light of the silvery moon by ??

[AstralTraveller]

Brian Eno's 'Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks' is the music to a film consisting entirely of images taken of the Moon by Apollo astronauts. Very quiet and drifty. For space travel of a very different type try Jon Anderson's 'Olias of Sunhillow'.

Of course, why didn't I think of it sooner? 'Across the Universe' by the Fab Four.

[Omaroo]

I have the entire 2-season series on specially-cut DVD's straight from the studio. Some of the only ones in existence. I got them from a family member of Imogen Coca (Shag...and then later "Shad").

Of course, you can get it all on YouTube, but in broken parts which is OK. Mu favourite two characters were "Gronk" (hubby), afterwhich I intend to name one of our future Pugs, and "Boss" - the village chief. Great opening sequence song. :)

[ngcles]

Hi Jen & All,

Winding the clock back (waaaaay back) for those who can remember Hawkwind and early Floyd ...

A couple of Tangerine Dream albums from about the time of the Apollo missions:

Alpha Centauri
Tracks:
(1)Sunrise in the Third System
(2)The fly and collision of Comas Sola (see Comet 32P/ Comas Sola)
(3)Alpha Centauri

Zeit
Tracks:
(1)Birth of Liquid Pleiades
(2)Nebulous Dawn
(3)Origin of supernatural probabilities
(4)Zeit

and from the same era --

An early Yes anthem: Starship Trooper (probably my all-time favourite Yes track), particularly part 3 :Wurm. Particularly (again) the concert version on "Yessongs". Some of the best bass guitar you will ever, ever hear ... play it loud, loud, LOUD ...

Pt 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA7lhVgDDz4&feature=related

Pt 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL8EuULzd4k

Back in the "olden days", Yes fans were known colloquially as "troopers" after this song.


And also a particularly apt classical piano piece: Vision of a Starry Night -- by Alan Hovhaness.

Someone has already suggested Astronomy Dominie (early Floyd) -- particularly (again) love the live version on the album Ummagumma ...


Best,

Les D

Jack Johnson
"Constellations"

It was just another night
with the sun set
and the moon rise not so far behind
to give us just enough light
to lay down underneath the stars
listen to papas translations
of the stories across the sky
we drew our own constellations

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rnCjUZ4mgA

[jjjnettie]

"Under the Milky Way"
by The Church

And its something quite peculiar,
Something thats shimmering and white.
Leads you here despite your destination,
Under the milky way tonight

[Dog Star]

I note that Ric has already mentioned Space Ritual by Hawkwind, THE number 1 space rock band. Here's some more of their album titles -
In Search of Space
Warrior on the Edge of Time
Quark, Strangeness and Charm
Astounding Sounds, Amazing Music
Chronicle of the Black Sword
The Xenon Codex
Space Bandits
Alien 4
Area 54
Love in Space
Theta Orionis
Epocheclipse
A few song titles - Master of the Universe; Children of the Sun; Space is Deep; Spirit of the Age; Uncle Sam's on Mars; Sputnik Stan; Sonic Attack; The Right Stuff; It is the Business of the Future to be Dangerous; Altair; Void of Golden Light; Xenomorph; Vega; Abducted; Earth Calling; Aerospace Age Inferno and the classic Silver Machine.
Few bands have championed Space and Science Fiction as consistently as Hawkwind has in their 40 year career. One reviewer described them as "Peter Gunn meets Buck Rogers.....ray guns and fuzz pedals at dawn.":scared:

Yep that's the same one I mentioned earlier Chris, jeez that brings back memories ah ! :lol:

You're lucky you got both seasons, I've looked around but haven't seen it available anywhere.

Imogen Coca.....what a legend ah? :rofl:

[Omaroo]

You probably never will Andrew. This guy stated that the original master reels were the property of the Imogene Coca estate, and not the studio. Strange situation, but the estate wishes to never re-release the reels for public consumption. I guess copies have leaked out from studios and wherever else, which are what you'll see on YouTube.

She was a great comedienne. :sadeyes:

Hi All,

Nearly forgot (but how could I?).

Space Truckin' by Deep Purple

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YPijSWJmsE

We had a lot of luck on Venus
We always had a ball on Mars
Meeting all the groovey people
We've rocked the Milky Way so far
We danced around with borealis
Were space truckin' round the the stars
Come on lets go space truckin'

Remember when we did the moonshot
And pony trekker led the way
We'd move to the canaveral moonstop
And everynaut would dance and sway
We got music in our Solar System
Were space truckin round the stars
Come on lets go space truckin'

The fireball that we rode was moving
But now we've got a new machine
Yeah yeah yeah yeah the freaks said
Man those cats can really swing
They got music in their solar system
They've rocked around the Milky Way
They dance around the borealis
They're space truckin' everyday

Solar System Limericks

:whistle::whistle::whistle:
Solar System Limericks

Chorus:
Mercury, Venus Earth, Mars, Jupiter
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune & Pluto(er)
Comets, Asteroids, Moons & Meteors
Orbit 'round the Sun

There's a planet we know we call Mercury.
It orbits the Sun in a big hurry.
Only 88 days
To go 'round all the way
It's a wonder it doesn't look blurry.

An Earth sized planet is Venus.
But there's not much in common between us.
Acid clouds keep it hot.
A paradise it's not!
On Venus the weather is heinous!

We all know the planet called Earth.
We call it the home of our birth.
Seas, mountains and air,
Life is found everywhere.
It's a planet of obvious worth.

Mars is a planet that's red
it might have had life but looks dead
It's dusty and rusty
with winds that are gusty.
It's cold there so cover your head.

Asteroids are rocky debris.
When we look at them closely we see
Rocks that are jumbled,
And crumbled and tumbled
Pulled round by the sun's gravity.

Jupiter's largest of all.
A hydrogen helium ball.
Twisting clouds humor us
Moons that are numerous
Comparing the two, Earth is small.

The largest planet is Jupiter
I learned about it on my computer
clouds twisting orange
like rust on a door hinge
before I knew this I was stupider


Of beautiful Saturn I sing
a light fluffy puffball type thing
we know from the math
it would float in the bath
of course it would leave a big ring

Uranus rolls on it's side
with rings that stretch far and wide
A big ball of gas
As green as the grass
It's the name I just can't abide

A beautiful Cobalt blue
Neptune's a planet it's true,
With winds that are fast,
And blizzards of frozen gas.
All its moons must have quite a view!

Pluto's the farthest of all.
Compared to the rest it is small.
Of features and such,
We don't know very much
Because Pluto is such a small ball!

Sometimes from the outer spaces
A comet visits sunny places.
As it is warmed
A tail is formed
And around the Sun it races!

I tried to phone but they don't list 'em
So I asked her for a number all the same
She said, step in my transporter
So I can teleport ya
All around my heavenly body
This could be a close encounter
I should take care not to flounder
Sends me into hyperspace, when I see her pretty face

Pleiadians - Identified Flying Object. Arguably the greatest psytrance album ever written. Today's (abysmal) output is still compared to this 1997 masterpiece. Each of the 7 tracks is named after the stars of the Pleiades; Maya, Taygeta, Merope, Alcyone, Electra, Asterope and Celaeno. Warning: it's (extremely) doof-doof music.

AstralTraveller, I'm loving your taste in ambient electronica. If you enjoy Vangelis and Eno, then, you would love anything by Klaus Schulze. Try this: Stardancer II (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=9MHKJ9bBJDY) off the Body Love 2 album, released in 1977. Schulze made the Moog his own; almost everything is space music. Especially considering that most of them are 30-minute long compositions.

Anything off the ten albums in the Dark Side of the Moog series by Pete Namlook, Klaus Schulze & Bill Laswell are simply awesome to listen to whilst observing and imaging. Interestingly, each of the albums was named after a pun on a Pink Floyd song. For example, Wish You Were There, Phantom Heart Brother, Obscured by Klaus, The Final DAT, and so on.

A random review:



Les, if you enjoy Tangerine Dream, then, you may be interested to know that Klaus Schulze was the original drummer for Tangerine Dream. :)

I simply cannot speak highly enough of these three prolific virtuosos whose collected works number in the thousands.

Regards,
Humayun

[Jen]

:thumbsup: oh Humayun that sounds good :love::love: i love psytrance and doof-doof stuff i might try and see if i can get a copy :D
:party::party::party:

[Octane]

Jen,


I'm glad to read that you're into psytrance and a bit of a doof-doof nut. I went to Earthcore in 2003.

If you want more names and albums, holler at me. I have a large electronica collection; from Italo disco (I can't get enough of the stuff) through to minimalist Detroit techno.

I read recently that Identified Flying Object is getting hard to find, and people are fetching close to $200 for their original CDs. I'm keeping mine safe and sound, that's for sure. :)

Here's a random review of I.F.O.:



I love my music. :)

Regards,
Humayun

[Jen]

Aww thanks i will keep you in mind :thumbsup: mmm now i have a challenge on my hands how safe and sound is your CD :lol::lol: i have the latest psytrance album and i play it constantly lately :D:thumbsup:
I love my music too i would die if i couldnt have music around me :P

World Party - Is it Like Today

Great song - sort of about coming full circle, and the journey of man throughout the ages... If you don't know the song check out the lyrics, very cool!


The lyrics:

Many years ago he
Looked out through a glassless window
All that he could see was Babylon
Beautiful green fields and dreams
And learn to measure the stars
But there was a worry in his heart

He said,
How could it come to this?
I'm really worried about living
How could it come to this?
Yeah, I really want to know about this
Is it like today?

Then there came a day
It moved out across the Mediterranean
Came to western isles and the Greek young men
And with their silver beards they laughed
At the unknown of the universe
They could sit and guess God's name

But they said,
How could it come to this?
We're really worried about living
How could it come to this
Yeah, we really want to know about this
Is it like today?

Then there followed days of Kings, Empires and revolution
Blood just looks the same when you open the veins
But sometimes it was faith, power or reason as the cornerstone
But the furrowed brow has never left his face

He said,
How could it come to this?
We've living in a landslide
How could it come to this?
Yeah, we really want to know about this
Is it like today?

Then there came a day
Man packed up flew off from the planet
He went to the moon, to the moon
Now he's out in space
Hey, fixing all the problems
He comes face to face with God

He says,
How could it come to this?
I'm really worried about my creation
How did it comes to this?
You're really killing me, you know

It isn't just today
Is it like today?
Is it like today?
Bang!

Many years ago he
Looked out through a glassless window
Didn't understand which what he saw

Heres a little spaces rap song my son wrote about 6 years ago for a SOSE project at Primary School. He had to get up in front of his class and perform it also

I’m here to tell ya
About the solar system
Its the best place around
So I'll here no dissin

The first stop is, Mercury
They say it’s real hot
So come get a tan
With me and my B

The next stop is Venus
The planet of acid
If you breathe any in
You’ll become real placid

Earth, Earth, Earth
It’s planet No-3
It’s all a pretty blue
Mainly covered by sea

Planet No-4
Is the one they call Mars
All covered in Red
Not electric guitars

Next in line is Jupiter
Give it a miss and wave bye, bye
It will watch you pass
With its big red eye

Bring it on Saturn
The planet with rings
It’s the sickest of all
The planet with bling

Uranus, Neptune & Pluto
Are the last in line
I can’t say anymore
And it’s the end of my rhyme

[Jen]

[Enchilada]

Here's one...

"Telstar" by The Tornadoes in 1962 (even in mono)
(or The Models version)

Lots of versions on YouTube...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJL8_3ttEtE

[Enchilada]

Another. How about Manfred Mann's Earth Band "Solar Fire" (1973)?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcN636q1aMY

This was a concept album with seven tracks, Track 2 "Solar Fire" probably the best... (Though judging by Jen's humour, she just might like "Pluto : The Dog" (Prophesy perhaps of Pluto now in the Dog House??) Must listen for about 50 seconds at least...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpU8n9ntwk0

Lyrics to Solar Fire...

See the morning dancer, crossing the sky,
Turning gold to amber travelling by
He must know the answer
He must know why.
Looking for an answer look to the sky.

Shadows getting shorter filling your sight
Brightly burning starfire, life giving light
Dawning into morning
Day into night
Looking for an answer, look to the light

Sunlight streaming burn through the night
First light stealing shine solar fire.

Starting from tomorrow look to the sky
There's a new day dawning passing you by
Follow on life's dancer and than you'll know why
Looking for an answer look to the sky.

Sunlight etc.

[Enchilada]

Another is Enya's latest "Stars and Midnight Blue" (2008)

"You have lost yourself in dreaming
I have lost myself in you
Now we lie beneath the sky
Stars and midnight blue"

Heaven indeed!
Now I'll only to find someone who meets the criteria !

How about "Wish Upon A Dog Star" by Satellite Party?
A great little number.
No, Sirius-ly! ;)

[Enchilada]

Thanks Jen revamping this thread, as I thought of a few other song since you first posted this... So how about;

"Just Be" by DJ Tiësto (2004)

Although it is not really about inner space and not outer space, I've just always loved the "observational" lyrics;

"You can travel the world but you can't run away
From the person you are in your heart
You can be who you want to be
Make us believe in you
Keep all your light in the dark
If your searching for truth
You must look in the mirror
and make sense of what you can see

Just be. Just be."

Also many of the Dutch Tiësto trance and electronic dance music is often about flight and escaping. Vocalist is Kirsty Hawkshaw.

(There is also a nice space related video on YouTube, about Apollo 11 to this song at; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6D2TW2s5Cg&feature=related )

A shorter 5:29 version is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzrxopKkpr8 (but is not really space vid related)

Nice when observing too... :)

Another great Tiësto song that reminds me of astronomy and escaping is "Walking on Clouds" - not because is about space but walking on clouds on cloudy nights. A nice vid and quality version of the track is at ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gG2ifeI3RM

[Dog Star]

Satellite Party is the new band of Perry Farrel, former frontman for Jane's Addiction and Porno For Pyros.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4D-60KJQ&NR=1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11Q4D1f-60KJQ)

[lacad01]

Holy smokes, how could we forget "Fly me to the moon", by Old Blue Eyes, Mr Sinatra :doh:

"Fly me to the moon
Let me sing among those stars
Let me see what spring is like
On jupiter and mars"

[lacad01]

Gonna head to the galaxy
Gonna leave this planet, man
Gonna head to the galaxy

Get miles away

"Fly away", Lennie Kravitz::cool3:

"Lets go and see the stars
The milky way or even mars
Where it could just be ours

Lets fade into the sun

Oh oh oh yeah !

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah"

"Subterranean Homesick Alien", by Radiohead. In fact the entire album 'Ok Computer' is somewhat trippy and spacey...:cool2:

[jjjnettie]

"Some Other Time"
from the album "I, Robot",
Alan Parsons Project.


Now the starlight which has found me
Lost for a million years
Tries to linger
As it fills my eyes 'til it disappears

[AstralTraveller]

From the same album: 'There's a moon in the sky (called The Moon)'

[AstralTraveller]

On the same album are 'Total Eclipse' and 'Nucleus' (well there are a lot of nucleii in space).

[AstralTraveller]

Looking through my music I found:

'...And the Great Cold Death of the Earth' by Agalloch from The Mantle

'Nada Moonshine' by Amon Duul

Tori Amos has an album call 'To Venus and Back' which has a track called 'Space Dog'.

'Under Utopian Universe' from Amygdala's self-titled album.

Anekdoten have 'Stardust and Sand' (from A Time of Day), 'The Sun Absolute' (from From Within), 'This Far from the Sky' (Nucleus) and 'Moons of Mars' (Waking the Dead - Live in Japan 2005)

'Sleeping Satellite' by Tasmin Archer

The album Biogenesis Project by Ars Nova has tracks entitled Introduction, Escape, Mother Earth, Metamorphosis, Humanoid's Breakfast, Against the Meteors, Trust the Future

'Total Eclipse' by Brian Auger's Oblivion Express (from the self-titled album)

'Ride the Comet' by Ayreon from '01011001'

And perhaps we could include 'Rainy Day' from America's self-titled album.

That's about it for the A's. When I feel inspired I'll start on B. This thread could last a while.

I was flying around in space.
In another time and place.
When i came across this thing it was called the human race.
Some knew a lot of songs and some made a whole lot up.
But just look through my ole telescope and look for sirius and the pup.

Classic.....cheers Kev.

[Kevnool]

We,ll see if simpleplan picks it up........no wait its more wiggles..... :rofl: cheers Kev.

[AstralTraveller]

OK ... so what is the key, the chords and the melody? We could get something going here. I think the last line needs work - the meter isn't quite right.

[Kevnool]

I,ll have to leave the notes to the musically minded......but for me its the voices in my head...lol.....cheers Kev.

[Dog Star]

G'day Astral,
Love everything by Amon Duul.
Nearly as good as Hawkwind. (Almost):thumbsup:

[firstlight]

I'm rather partial to the Reels version of that song.

[Robh]

Jen, looks like this thread is still alive, so I've transferred this one over from mine:

Don McLean's song "Vincent" (1971), also known as Starry Starry Night, about the famous artist Vincent van Gogh. The song also refers to his well known painting The Starry Night.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starry_Night
I don't think anyone mentioned it.

Regards, Rob.

[Baddad]

Hey Jen, :) and the originator too,:)

After viewing 7 pages of thread I really had to look a long way back to add to the list.

Elton John, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds;:P

Patti Page, Alleghey Moon;:D

Paste your link after the http://
You can add any other text above or below it. :thumbsup:

Hope this helps, Rob.

[Octane]

AstralTraveller,

Nice work on the Ayreon. I really enjoyed that album.

You've probably already got Star One's album(s). Another great Ayreon offshoot. Floor Jansen (After Forever), Damian Wilson (ex-Threshold), Russell Allen (Symphony-X) and of course, Mr. Arjen Lucassen himself. What more could I want? :)

My favourite of his is, of course, The Human Equation.

Actually, everyone should give Ayreon a go. A lot of it is rather spacey.

High Moon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vimz7sz9Fx4) -- Damian's vocals during the chorus get me every time -- he delivers the goods with such grace and majesty; one of the sweetest voices in rock. Excuse the absolutely shocking audio quality on this video.
Intergalactic Space Crusaders (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3q7lwl5nSQ)
Amazing Space Flight (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCMgBgLROUo)

Whilst I'm at it, and, because I love Floor Jansen so much, here's Valley of the Queens (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9-YHK9nAq4).

Regards,
Humayun

[M54]

Thanks for that Rob.:)

And what's so amazing, that keeps us Stargazing.

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me.
All of us under it's spell, got to be simply magic. :)

[astroron]

"Halley came to Jackson" Mary Chapin Carpenter.
A great song, pulls at the heart strings:rolleyes:

Late one night when the wind was still
Daddy brought the baby to the window sill
To see a bit of heaven shoot across the sky
The one and only time Daddy saw it fly

It came from the east just as bright as a torch
The neighbors had a party on their porch
Daddy rocked the baby, Mother said "amen"
When Halley came to visit in nineteen ten

Now back then Jackson was a real small town
And it's not every night a comet comes around
It was almost eighty years since its last time through
So I bet your mother would've said "amen" too

As its tail stretched out like a stardust streak
The papers wrote about it every day for a week
They wondered where it's going and where it's been
When Halley came to Jackson in 1910

Now Daddy told the baby sleeping in his arms
To dream a little dream of a comet's charms
And he made a little wish as she slept so sound
In nineteen eighty-six that wish came 'round

It came from the east, just as bright as a torch
She saw it in the sky from her daddy's porch
As heavenly sent as it was back then
When Halley came to Jackson in nineteen ten
Late one night when the wind was still

Spaceman - The Killers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HlJWgBjd1g&feature=channel

The Killers originate from Nevada so that might explain the alien abduction theme in this song. :)

First chorus:

It started with a low light,
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed;
And then they took my blood type,
they left a strange impression in my head.
You know that I was hoping,
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind;
But when they cut me open,
I guess I changed my mind.
And you know I might
Have just flown too far from the floor this time,
'cause they calling me by my name!
And the zipping white light beams
disregarding bombs and satellites!

Love there stuff, a bit trippy, but there an awesome band in my book. :thumbsup:

[rider]

supertramp - It's raining again

As recognised by several posters here, the number of songs without duplicates is hard to sort. So I have complied a list so far given here in pdf form. (added a few more in blue, that I've thought over.)

Duplicates have been merged, one or two I had trouble deciphering several additions by ISS'ers, so if I missed one, just repost it in the thread!

Add more, and I'll update the list for you guys 'n gals...

The Dark of the Sun

In the dark of the sun
Will you save me a place
Give me hope, give me comfort
Get me to a better place

Saw you sail across a river
Underneath orion's sword
In your eyes there was a freedom
I had never known before

Hey yeah yeah
In the dark of the sun
We will stand together
Yeah we will stand as one
Oh in the dark of the sun

Past my days of great confusion
Past my days of wondering why
Will I sail into the heavens
Constellations in my eyes

Hey yeah yeah
In the dark of the sun
We will stand together
Yeah we will stand as one
Oh in the dark of the sun

Hey yeah yeah
In the dark of the sun
We will stand together
Yeah we will stand as one
Oh in the dark of the sun

:DIn May 2000 Pearl Jam released their 6 album called Binaural, The album's cover art is a Hubble Space Telescope (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble_Space_Telescope) photo of the Hourglass Nebula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hourglass_Nebula). Hubble Space Telescope photos of the Helix Nebula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix_Nebula) and Eagle Nebula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Nebula) are also featured in the inside cover and liner notes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liner_notes) for this album, respectively. The photos were used with the permission of NASA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA). Regarding the artwork, Ament said, "The reason that we went with Tchad [Blake] is because he provides an amazing atmosphere to songs....So, I think we wanted the artwork to represent that....One of the themes that we've been exploring...is just realizing that in the big scheme of things, even the music that we make when we come together, no matter how powerful it is, it's still pretty minuscule. I think for me the whole space theme has a lot to do with scale. You know, you look at some of those pictures, and there are thirteen light years in four inches in that picture.;)

Lyrics - J Webb

(Nelson?)
I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride,
With sword and pistol by my side.
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade.
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade.
The *******s hung me in the spring of twenty-five:
But I am still alive.

(Jennings?)
I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide.
And with the sea I did abide.
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico.
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow.
And when the yards broke off, they said that I got killed:
But I am living still.

(Kristofferson?)
I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide;
Where steel and water did collide.
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado,
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below.
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound:
But I am still around.
I'll always be around,.
And around and around and around and around.

(Cash)
I fly a starship across the Universe divide.
And when I reach the other side,
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can.
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again.
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain;
But I will remain.
And I'll be back again,

And again and again and again and again

[mithrandir]

Evanescence - Your Star

I can't see your star.
I can't see your star.
Though I patiently waited, bedside, for the death of today.
I can't see your star.
The mechanical lights of Lisbon frightened it away.

And I'm alone now,
Me and all I stood for.
We're wandering now.
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out.

I can't see your star.
I can't see your star.
How can the darkness feel so wrong?

David Bowie: Major Tom

Ground control to Major Tom Ground control to Major Tom:
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground control to Major Tom: Commencing countdown engine's on
Check ig-nition and may God's love be with you

This is ground control to Major Tom, you've really made the grade!
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear,
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to ground con-trol, I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in the most peculiar way
And the stars look very diferent today

For here am I sitting in a tin can, far above the world
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do



Though I'm passed one hundred thousand miles, I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go,
tell my wife I love her very much she knows

Ground control to Major Tom:
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong.
Can you hear me Major Tom?
Can you hear me Major Tom?
Can you hear me Major Tom? Can you ...

Here am I floating round my tin can, far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do

Metallica also did a cover of the song for their 1998 Garage Inc. album.

[Octane]

Metallica also had a seminal piece on 1985's Master of Puppets, called Orion.

Might go put it on. Back when Metallica was good. *sigh*

[Outbackmanyep]

Did i mention Pink Floyd? :P :D

[Octane]

Alan,



I just noticed that.

That is, actually, a cover of Rainbow's Stargazer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SedQcg-65a8). As much as I love Dream Theater, I have to say the original is so much better. Dio's voice is amazing. The final two minutes of the song shine like nothing else. :)

Regards,
Humayun

[Octane]

Also,

I've just managed to get a hold of Constance Demby's Novus Magnificat (http://www.amazon.com/Novus-Magnificat-Stargate-Constance-Demby/dp/B000000X52) from 1985.

Can you say, "holy crap"?

This is a remarkable 50-odd-minute masterpiece.

Melanie Safka
"In the Hour" 1971
an excerpt from the song.


"When darkness hovers and city lights take over
I am blinded to the words I am alone
It's useless to cry for a star in the sky
For the city lights tell me there's none,"

Damn light pollution.

[GrahamL]

French band M83

we own the sky

Each shade of blue
Is kept in our eyes
Keep blowing and lighting
Because we own the sky

Secrets from the winds
Burnt stars crying

Soft soft or cruel
Can't we change our minds?
We kill what we build
Because we own the sky

Secrets from the winds
Burnt stars crying

So many moons here
Lost wings floating

It's coming, it's coming now!
It's coming, it's coming now!
What's coming? What's coming now?
What's coming? What's coming now?

It's coming from the sky
It's coming from the wind

I was a little young (by a smidge) to get into the TV series Star Trek. It looks, dare I say a little camp. Please tell me it dated poorly!

Also,

Anything by Area 51, Macrocosm, Cyper People, Laserdance, Anders Lundqvist, Johan Koskela, Proxyon, Hipnosis, Hypnosis, Humphrey Robertson, Trilithon, Galaxion, et al.

i dont often bring up old threads, but i couldn't resist this one...

star gazing aside... one of my other passions in life is music...

i stumbled across a couple of astro related tunes i recorded a couple of
years ago in my studio at home and thought i'd add them to the list...

Saxon's The Eagle has Landed about the moon landing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xFHOqx5mQk

Take a giant step for mankind
On a distant lunar sea
As you travel across the universe
Will you take a step,
take a step for me
Will you take a step for me
Voyage of an eagle
Blasting to the stars
You take the hopes and dreams of men
To find yourself, to find tranquillity
To find tranquillity
Traveled across the universe
And placed the lonely flag
Out there in isolation
At the final, the final frontier
At the final frontier
The world's in celebration
As we wait for your return
You took a giant leap for mankind
On another, on another world
On another world
Take it easy take it slow
Don't go fast don't let go
The eagle has landed
The eagle has landed
The eagle has landed
The eagle has landed
