about

Recorded in Weymouth by Jay and Luke.

lyrics

unremarkable. automatic.
transmission through static.
"leak remains uncontained.
outcome no longer in doubt.
edge of communication range.
over. and out."

no broadcast. real contact rare.
no broadcast. no one aware.
no broadcast. like last prayers.
no broadcast. no one there.

mission control is quiet.
minutes pass. hundreds in silence.
all eyes on Director Kranz.
good astronauts lost.
but for those left on land
there must be a response.

nothing yet on the evening news.
quiet evening, for two.
"mommy, look at my rocket.
like the one daddy flies to space.
why isn't he back, yet?"
her soft smile fades.

"Captain Bowman, are you there?"
knowing there's not signal, no air.
"preliminary cause - AE motor.
full diagnostic pending.
for you and your crew mission over.
your journey - unending."

all is dark at mission control.
Director Kranz now sitting alone.
radio left on.
hum broken after hours.
"this is Captain David Bowman...
my god, it's full of stars."
