The anniversary of humans landing on the moon passed us by this week, so I started thinking about how many songs refer to space or the moon. A random sample of cds close at hand told me...maybe too many. Do you think songwriters dream about what's about there more than others, or are we all fascinated by what we don't know?
Here's one from Crooked Fingers, Under Sad Stars, found on the the band's self-titled album.
Some technical difficulties sent my spacey playlist all wonky, but you can go here to grab the rest. You'll find:
The Waterboys - The Whole of the Moon
Possum Dixon - Crashing Your Planet
Scruffy the Cat - Kissing Galaxy
Eat - Red Moon
Bryan Ferry - Gemini Moon
Scruffy the Cat - Moons of Jupiter
Rupert Hine - The Wildest Wish to Fly
Crooked Fingers - Under Sad Stars
Pixies - Space (I Believe In)
Fountains of Wayne - Lost in Space
The Church - Under the Milky Way
The Church - Texas Moon
Of course, many people don't believe there ever was a moon landing. See the proof below. I wonder what Courtney Love thinks about it?

What, no David Bowie?! He's like, the moon guy. "Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah!"
Yeah, but too obvious - I skipped ones everyone knew, sucxh as REM's Man in the Moon, Echo & the Bunnymen's Killing Moon, numerous Bowie offerings, etc.
