about

Inspired by the comet-chaser Rosetta that orbited space for an epic journey to land on the comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, Sonic Youth founder Thurston Moore sings to the spacecraft "you were born to catch her light / and revel in her flight / before she goes too far / into deepest solar reaches / past all she has yet to teach us...." with heavenly accompaniment by Hush Arbors on guitar, Samara Lubelski on ethereal violin and Sunburned Hand of the Man's John Moloney on drums. This original seven minute and twenty second song is a rare treat from this group recorded to honour Sun Ra on the occasion of his Earth-birth centennial.

lyrics

ROSETTA

(For mission Rosetta / landing on the comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko)

(c) Radieux Radio

You were born to catch her light
Daydreamer spacecraft
Send pictures of her
In your beams back
Histories of her gas + dusts
Secrets erupt
Plume, bursts, blast
Universal truth
Future and past
With ice screws and harpoons
Manoeuvres and mission controller’s prayers too
Keep your heaven rendezvous
January — a quiet comet now
Leo moon, she will show you how
And why to try
To touch the sun
And loop around, around, around
Borne to catch this sight
Revel in her flight
Before she goes too far
The star
Into deeper solar reaches
Past all she has yet to teach us
Borne to catch her in flight
Daydreamer spacecraft
Send truth
Send light
