Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield and Barenaked Ladies singer Ed Robertson have released
the video for the first song to ever be written and recorded in space.
The historical moment was a collaboration made possible via satellite and with support from CBC music. With Hadfield singing and strumming guitar aboard the International Space Station some 250 miles above planet Earth, and Robertson at a studio here in Toronto, the pair recorded the space love song "I.S.S (Is Somebody Singing?)."
"We’ve been pals for a long time and it just seemed like a fun thing to do," Robertson told CBC Music, as reported by the Daily Mail.
The song features backing vocals from the
Wexford Gleeks Choir form Wexford School for the Arts, who sang alongside Robertson in Toronto.
Commander Hadfield is an avid songwriter and plans to record an entire album from space.
