A Festivid treat for [personal profile] thirdblindmouse

Notes: When I was skimming people's wishlists with an eye for making treats, [personal profile] thirdblindmouse's caught my eye. I remember watching Commander Chris Hadfield's "Space Oddity" video and being completely charmed by it. I watched several of his videos after that and was always impressed by what a great human being he seemed to be, a nerd let loose in space who didn't lose his sense of wonder and appreciation for where he was.

I downloaded a ton of clips from Youtube, but I wound up mainly using the Canadian Space Agency's videos with a smattering of others. I chopped off a couple of verses from the song in the interests of delivering a complete vid in time for the deadline; I certainly had enough source material to go for days. When I was sick with bronchitis for weeks on end, I used this vid a way to wind down and mellow out before going to bed. I am quite fond of how it turned out.

I received wonderful comments on the original Dreamwidth and Livejournal posts. Thank you all for the happiness!

Satellite Lyrics:
Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping Tom for the mother station

Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasen
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down, all around, hey satellite

Satellite headlines read
Someone's secrets you've seen
Eyes and ears have been
Satellite dish in my yard
Tell me more, tell me more
Who's the king of your Satellite Castle?

Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasen
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down, all around, hey satellite

Rest high above the clouds no restriction
Television we bounce round the world
And while I spend these hours
Five senses reeling
I laugh about the weatherman's satellite eyes

I love how the instrumental sections at the beginning are of Hadfield playing a guitar. This is a wonderful, warm, celebratory vid. <3

By the way, any chance for a new Sendspace link? The current one says the file is not available.
