Songs for Saturday: The Ballad of Apollo 13

[mdlbear]

I was kind of at a loss for which song to write about today, but then somebody posted a link to Apollo 13 in Real Time. Fifty years ago today. So there's really only one song that fits: The Ballad of Apollo XIII.

The link goes to a music video somebody pieced together over Julia Ecklar's track from Minus Ten and Counting: Songs of the Space Age (the linked page includes YouTube videos of all the tracks). You'll find the lyrics, posted by the songwriter, in this comment.

I don't have anything more to add.

I remember that song from the previous time you linked to 'Minus Ten and Counting'. I was able to piece together the tracklisting and make a playlist including the artist and songwriter credits. :)

Thanks for the video link. The song was already powerful, and the video mix enhances it further.

You're welcome. I'm really glad that I found that one.
