This is really stunning.
Pick of the week.
Rocket Man
She packed my bags last night, preflight
Zero hour, nine a.m.
And I’m gonna be high
As a kite by thenI miss the earth so much
I miss my wife
It’s lonely out in space
On such a timeless flightAnd I think it’s gonna be a long, long, time
‘Til touchdown brings me ’round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no no
I’m a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin’ out his fuse
Up here aloneMars ain’t the kind of place
To raise your kids
In fact, it’s cold as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them
If you didAnd all this science
I don’t understand
It’s just my job
Five days a week
A rocket man
Rocket ManAnd I think it’s gonna be a long, long, time
‘Til touchdown brings me ’round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no noAnd I think it’s gonna be a long, long, time
‘Til touchdown brings me ’round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no no…
I’m a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin’ out his fuse
Up here aloneAnd I think it’s gonna be a long, long, time
And I think it’s gonna be a long, long, time
And I think it’s gonna be a long, long, timeLong, long, time
Long, long, time

Such beautiful playing but I would really like to see some sign that the players are enjoying themselves.

Very nice indeed. A true acoustic recording. Note the lovely large diaphragm mics strategically placed in the room, including a neumann U87. Classic stuff.

Oops it’s not a U87. Later model… sigh.
