Smash Mouth – Walkin’ On The Sun
Smash Mouth’s first major single Walkin’ on the Sun was released in July 1997. The guitarist Greg Camp described the song as a social and racial battle cry, a “why can’t we all get along?” song. Plus it’s funky, so there’s that too. 😊

Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Jimmy Stafford, Scott Underwood and Charlie Collin.
The band achieved mainstream success with their debut album Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit “Meet Virginia”

Lady Gaga – Venus
Unlike my usual choices I have chosen “something completely different”. Lady Gaga singing Venus. I do hope that you enjoy the song and the “production”.

Halie Loren – Moon River
Tonight, I suggest you sit back, close your eyes and enjoy one of the great romantic songs of our time.
“Moon River” is a song composed by the great musicians Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer, and originally performed by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. It won 1962 Oscars for Best Original Song and Best Original Score, and 1962 Grammy Awards for Record and Song of the Year. The album also stayed on Billboard’s album charts for over 90 weeks!
Many artists have covered this song, maybe most notably Andy Williams who first recorded it in 1962 and performed it at the Academy Awards ceremony that year.
This type of beautiful music and arrangement speaks to my soul. I grew up with this song and it remains one of my most favourite songs of all time.
My choice tonight is by a favourite artist, Halie Loren, who does true justice to Audrey Hepburn’s version in the movie and the magic of Mancini. Halie Loren is a 35-year-old American Jazz singer and songwriter from Alaska. She launched her first album in 2004.

MONSTERS OF THE COSMOS – Symphony of Science
This space theme was very distressing for me. I ended up with a song that is more about monsters than it is about soothing music, as we are accustomed to on this channel.
Regardless, here is Morgan Freeman and a choir of scientists singing to you about the science and freakiness of black holes.

Frances Forever – Space Girl

Tasmin Archer – Sleeping Satellite (US Version)(1992)
One of those special songs that got me through college. Poetry considering the current state of the human race.
