Really nice background dub vibes, wish for a version three or more times in length 🙌🏼🔊👌

Really cool and addictive track! Love this one 🌔

Found this on the proverbial cutting room floor when digging through files for the remaster project.

It’s a bit rough round the edges but I thought I’d throw it out there. 

The mission audio is Apollo control reading a selection of news headlines to the crew whilst they are on the outward leg of the journey. A bit of banality during an historic event.

I can’t see the stars tonight
Shining down or in your eyes
I can’t see the stars tonight

I can’t find the words tonight
Written down or in my mind
I can’ t find the words tonight

I can’t see the stars tonight
Shining down or in your eyes
I can’t see the stars tonight


Shining down or in your eyes 
I can’t see the stars tonight
Help me see 
Help me see the stars tonight

I could live a simple life
Slow it down or take a flight
I could live a simple life
I could live a simple life

I can’t see the see stars tonight
I can’t find the words tonight
Shining down or in your eyes
Help me see the stars tonight

I can’t find the words tonight
Written down or in my mind
I can’t find the words I like……

met Carlotta's zoete stem! Een hele tijd geleden... 

Als in een boek in een andere taal 
ben je beland in een vreemd verhaal
Doolt door het huis je voelt je alleen
gaat niet buiten gaat nergens heen

Praat tegen muren, ze antwoorden niet 
praat tegen jezelf, maar je hoort het niet
denk niet dat ik het niet weet
ik hoor en zie je diep verdriet

Als je roept kom ik naar je toe 
probeer te slapen je bent zo moe 
ik zal over je waken 
in donkere zee, ben ik je licht, ben ik je baken 
geen loze woorden, ik zal er voor je zijn 
van nu af aan ben ik je reddingslijn

Je voelt je een scherf van een vaas die aan diggelen ligt (x2)
Maar dan ben je een deel van een groter geheel 
goed omringd en niet alleen				x2
Een golf van de zee, een straal van het licht		x2
 een rijm in een mooi gedicht
Als je roept kom ik naar je toe 
probeer te slapen, je bent zo moe 
ik zal over je waken 
in donkere zee , ben ik je licht ben ik je baken 
geen loze woorden ik zal er voor je zijn 
van nu af aan ben ik je reddingslijn
goed omringd en niet alleen, deel van een groter geheel

Translation:
Like in a book in another language
you have ended up in a strange story
Wandering through the house you feel alone
doesn't go outside doesn't go anywhere

Talk to walls, they don't answer
talk to yourself, but you don't hear it
Don't think I don't know
I hear and see your deep sorrow

If you call, I will come to you
try to sleep you are so tired
I will watch over you
in the dark sea, I am your light, I am your beacon
no empty words, I will be there for you
From now on, I'm your lifeline

You feel like a shard of a vase that is shattered (x2)
But then you are part of a bigger picture
well surrounded and not just a pixle
A wave of the sea, a ray of light 
 a rhyme in a beautiful poem
If you call, I will come to you
try to sleep, you're so tired
I will watch over you
In the dark sea, I am your light, I am your beacon
no empty words I will be there for you
From now on, I'm your lifeline
well surrounded and not alone, part of a larger whole

Een Deel Van Een Groter Geheel Ft. Carlotta

Galileo's telescopic observation of the moons of Jupiter orbiting the planet  was a black swan moment for the Church's earth centred view of the universe. As ever those whose long held beliefs were challenged by the facts did not react well. Plus ca change.

But Still it Moves (John Stone)

Galileo Galileii stood before the court 
Accused of breaking sacred law
In what he said and what he thought  
They told him God had made us the centre of all things
The earth stood still, The universe
revolves around in perfect spheres and rings.

But he had seen the moons of Jupiter
Sailing through the void
And knew at once religious law
Had forever been destroyed
The power of observation
Proved the earth went round the sun
And we were not the centre of all things
as we were told we had become.

The Bishops and the Cardinals
Were outraged by the thought
That places held by God and man
Were not what they had always taught,
They forced a recantation of his controversial views
But as they dragged him from the court
He cried,“But still it moves”

Still it moves, Still it moves
But still the earth goes round the sun
Whatever you can make me say
A truth once known can’t be undone
So forget your old religions
And new ideologies
Truth is truth and only truth will I let speak to me
And still it moves… 

We’d like to think we’ve come some way 
Since those unenlightened days
But look around and count the things 
you know but are afraid to say 
In pain of media pile-ons 
And News that’s always fake 
And Those who are inclined to say 
That hate is truth and truth is hate 

It may not seem important  
But it still seems plain to me 
If you’re not allowed to speak the truth 
Then you’re no longer free 
So when they try to shout you down 
With the crazy things they say 
Remember Galileo
When he once dared to say
Still it moves…

But Still It Moves
