Graham Gouldman and Brian May - Floating in Heaven (Official Video)
Brian
May joins 10cc founder Graham Gouldman to mark historic first images to
be delivered from James Webb Space Telescope with new music track“Floating In Heaven” JWST now has its own soundtrack.
The
most powerful telescope ever launched into space, the James Webb Space
Telescope - launched December 2021 and which entered orbit in January
2022 – finally becomes operational this week.
Intended to succeed Hubble as NASA’s
flagship mission in astrophysics, the NASA space agency has scheduled
the first official JWST science images release event for Tuesday, July
12th.
With a well-renowned passion for
Astronomy, having earned a PhD in astrophysics from Imperial College,
London, in 2007 and a “science team collaborator” with NASA’s New
Horizons Pluto mission – May notably launched his track New Horizons
from NASA headquarters on New Year’s Day 2019 to mark the flyby of the
distant object Ultima Thule – May now teams with fellow space science
enthusiast, 10cc frontman Graham Gouldman to recognise this discovery
moment with new music.
Written by Gouldman, he and May have created a special new track to mark the historic JWST images reveal.
“Floating In Heaven," written and
performed by Gouldman and featuring May on guitar and vocals, will have a
special digital & streaming release on July 12 to coincide with the
highly anticipated release of first pictures brought to earth by the
JWST.
The track has come with a specially created new video which has premiered today (Tuesday, July 12) on Queen Official YouTube channel. Link: https://youtu.be/hOTFcnexJBg Talking of his fascination with space exploration May says: "There is nothing more exciting in a
world of exploration than going to a place about which you know nothing.
The sky's the limit for what we could find out."
May’s most widely recognised space-related
song of course dates back to his earliest days with Queen: his song,
"39," the story of a group of space explorers who return home to find
that, during their one year of travel, a century had passed on Earth,
first appeared on Queen’s 1975 A Night At The Opera album. May continues to routinely perform the song in the band’s live concerts.
