www.cbcmusic.ca Astronaut Chris Hadfield and Barenaked Ladies frontman Ed Robertson sit down together for the first time to work a song the two intend to debut from space and earth.
This idea was going to be tried with astronaut Ronald McNair and Jean-Michael Jarre in 1986 but that ended with the Challenger explosion. It is good to see that it was finally accomplished by such awesome people.
+Heather Sparks It doesn't have all that many minor chords to be considered a truly sad song. This isn't the final version either. I found it pretty damn inspiring, hell I can play the chorus.
Two of my favorite Canadians. This is sort of like "Playing for Change" on steroids. They do songs around the world, this is a song beyond the world. Well done Chris and Ed.
My cousin doesn't like to sit around and relax he always has things on the go. We are so proud of him and can't wait to watch his next mission unfold. Love you lots Chris from all the Taylors
I don't go all mushy over stuff, often. This gives me a sense of great things, of overwhelming hope and expectation that we are watching a magnificent thing for history being made for the whole of humanity.
Very Cool! Too bad Chris won't be going up on the Shuttle or Space X flight. Will his be the first guitar in space? Marked my calendar for May 6th, 2013 already!
He had to qualify his songwriting skills with, "this is what I wrote in the back of the car on the way over". Why? I thought it sounded just fine Chris. And wow, I didn't know astronauts got chauffeured cars, sounds like its good to be a liar, I mean, astroNOT.
search "Chris Hadfield and Barenaked Ladies: I.S.S. (Is Somebody Singing)" and its the first result.
Astronaut, Rock Star, what is next for this most legendary talented person!

Beautiful but sad sounding. Can we give our future generations more hope?
