I WAS DREAMING RAIN ON EARTH ©, 2017 --- Excerpt landed online


Yup, this' happened. Like all good things that one was pushed out by consecutively predicted chain of events and as such got delivered.

It's supposed to be seen on Sound Cloud (soundcloud.com) .

As of today I am still warming my voice up, sure, it takes time. The first song in the list soundcloud.com/boris-kzorin/sets/i-am-and-singing is really my first public appearance - so help me God ;-) and bless my hypothetical audience too. Welcome!

P.S. Description to my works is given separately and individually to all and each of them, so do not hesitate to read that. Thanks.



I WAS DREAMING RAIN ON EARTH  ©, 2017 





1
Em Mission stays a lot of the nights
We in space assigned with D studies
Am Eternity's C seen in blueprints Em
D Navigates us by Bm stars, so we Em go


R
 C I was D7 dreaming rain G on Earth Bm
Am Your footsteps in hazy G morning Bm
Am All I remember as leaving into Em space
DI've winked to all - Em "Hey, see you later!"


Vocal Bridge in tune of a refrain first two lines

Am All I remember as leaving into Em space
DI've winked to all - Em "Hey, see you later!"



As of today second verse is omitted as for this publication only

The displayed as a dot spaceship -
Outer space's untouched by worldlings
We come back to C you, Dear Earth
D To stop by and Bm express our Em "Hi!"


 Well, we formally checked out
But we never may skip space
It after all, remembers traits of us
Hence we promise - "Hey, see you later!"

Vocal Bridge in tune of a refrain first two lines

As I remember, while going within space
I've always said - "Hey, see you later!"

I've winked to all - "Hey, see you later!"

The author of translation/interpretation above comments:

1. How this was happened. True story. For years I am fascinated with a space exploration and even had applied for a job with a neighboring JPL (NASA). I have made many translations/interpretations, thought for people working in this field. Recently, on Feb. 13, my lyrical replies to ISS (Expedition 50) tweets once again got its high engagement. It is important to underline that in accordance to NASA astronauts and cosmonauts still have a language barrier, so once NASA has shown an allegation of interest to this song so be it! I've got emotionally supported and proceeded to deliver all this my work above.

2. Vitaly Sevastyanov was a Soviet cosmonaut who flew on the Soyuz 9 and Soyuz 18 (Salut_4) missions. Also he had worked in ground control and on the Russian space shuttle Buran project.
During the flight on space station he has reported night dream about noise of rain and allegation of smell of a rain ... It was in 1975, he said. Check with youtube.com/watch?v=fuJJaOVhSjc (in Russian, I'll translate later). So the initial lyrics and song were created then simultaneously.

3. I have made this translation as loose interpretation based on my romantic nature, thought mostly making update to realities of the world where I am living now, so I believe that my freedom for expression is justified under artistic license. Almost nothing was untouched, so revival was happened. Just spontaneously, thought in a good faith only. There is no base to think about any violations - the song is still about space exploration, just updated and revived.

4. I've shortened the original phrase in Russian from "days and nights" to "a lot of the nights", like a common English expression of staying in a hotel.

5. The second verse I have rewrite completely as latter is about complicated Russian soul, so I have felt a necessity to substitute it for something that should work for Fellows. "The only 'Hotel California'" song came in my mind. I've done here.

6. Something was missed, as not all was done yet, so my creative mind recalled that mystery surrounding that "Hotel California" sung by famous band in their eponymous hit, which from my side is a credit to Eagles, kind of common aesthetic way (not sure right now about correct term for that), so that, as found by me appropriate allegory, is fully legit. Latter is mentioned in the third verse of revived space lyrics. Artistic license applied, that is. 

7. So, once again, have been working under influence of space exploration hobby a long time already, I feel free to make some possible adjustments to realities, as I see it now, especially, if we are considering 1977 - the time when original lyrics was released. Sure, all credits to original are given.


P.S. Google images applied to this my work were retrieved by searching under phrase "What are astronauts' night dreams?"

P.P.S. The alleged by me music style for this song is country-ballade, shortly known as C-Ballade.
