This was what my Sunday looked like:

The best of those were: The Firewatchers Daughter, Something More than Free, Tomorrow is My Turn, The Deslondes, and The Traveling Kind.

Many years ago, Arthur C Clarke was asked how to write a science fiction novel. As an example, he wrote a half page abstract called The Songs of Distant Earth. He later expanded it into a novel.

Mike Oldfield is well known. His Tubular Bells (VS2001) was the first album released by the Virgin label, and part of the album was comandeered for use as incidental music for the movie "The Exorcist". Later he wrote the soundtrack for "The Killing Fields". Apparently, at the end of the movie, most people stayed in their seats until the final bars of the beautiful "Étude" faded away.

As far as I'm aware, no one has attempted to create the film version of Songs of Distant Earth. If anyone ever does, I hope they use Mike Oldfield's soundtrack, which I'm listening to now. It lived up to Clarke's expectations. He heard it in his lifetime and was well pleased with what he heard.

The Songs of Distant Earth is an incredible story and Oldfield's music does full justice to it.

The older country songs have a quality that's lacking in modern country.

This one holds up well for a 63 year old song.
