Sometimes we lose track and lose the right tracks for the right times.  What better song to pay belated homage to the humble astronaut than Allo Darlin’s fine song, Neil Armstrong?  Check it out below.  The lyrics follow.

“Heard you say “They didn’t put a man on the moon
We just needed someone to prove all this floating’s worth doing”

Then why did you say that you miss a simpler time
Well so do I and I find myself pining for you

These days can a question be asked
When the hero comes in last
Who is winning?

Well I am tired of feeling confused
And lest my words be construed
I can’t separate what’s real, but I know that I believe in you

There you go, out on the pavement walking alone
They could name a star after you and you’d still be complaining

And now it’s clear
Now that you know why I wanted you here
There’s a southern constellation that shines with your name on it

And I won’t fly until the day that I die
But we can’t keep out dreams in jars so I’ll keep yours close to mine

Well I am tired of feeling confused
And lest my words be construed
I can’t separate what’s real, but I know that I believe in you”
