Chris Hadfield est l’un des astronautes actuellement à bord de la station spatiale internationale… où il a enregistré cette chanson.

L’enregistrement a été effectué dans ses quartiers (sur la photo ci-dessous), puisque comme vous pourrez le découvrir en écoutant les autres sons, la station spatiale en elle-même est relativement bruyante!

Chris a l’intention d’écrire et d’enregistrer un album complet pendant son séjour à bord de l’ISS… Suivez-le sur Twitter!

Ooh, baby don’t you know I suffer?
Oh, baby can you hear me moan?
You caught me under false pretenses
How long before you let me go?

Ooh, you set my soul alight
Ooh, you set my soul alight

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(Ooh, you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(Ooh, you set my soul)

I thought I was a fool for no one
But ooh, baby I’m a fool for you
You’re the queen of the superficial
And how long before you tell the truth?

La chanson est sortie en 1970 sur l’album éponyme, et seulement 7 ans plus tard en single…

Well, it’s a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I’m trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

Can I just have one a more moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love
Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I can’t wait ’til the morning has come
And I know that the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you’re never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then I will make you my own
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can’t hide

One more moondance with you in the moonlight
On a magic night
La, la, la, la in the moonlight
On a magic night
Can’t I just have one more dance with you my love

Chanson hommage écrite par John Stewart pendant la diffusion en direct des premiers pas d’Armstrong sur le sol lunaire…

Black boy in Chicago
Playing in the street
Not enough to wear
Not near enough to eat
But don’t you know he saw it
On a July afternoon
He saw a man named Armstrong
Walk upon the moon

Young girl in Calcutta
Barely eight years old
The flies that swarm the market place
Will see she don’t get old
But don’t you know she heard it
On that July afternoon
She heard a man named Armstrong
Had walked upon the moon
She heard a man named Armstrong
Had walked upon the moon

The rivers are getting’ dirty
The wind is getting bad
War and hate is killing off
The only earth we have
But the world all stopped to watch it
On that July afternoon
To watch a man named Armstrong
Walk upon the moon
To watch a man named Armstrong
Walk upon the moon

Oh I wonder if a long time ago
Somewhere in the universe
They watched a man named Adam
Walk upon the earth
