Heavenly Bodies

Pythagoras believed that the planets orbited in proportions that created harmony, and called this the music of the spheres. In honour of Pythagoras, then, here is a
Spotify playlist of songs
related to planets, stars, comets, moons, and other heavenly bodies.
Sample tunes:

  • That Lucky Old Sun - Sam and Dave
  • Mercury Blues - Wishbone Ash
  • Venus in Furs - Velvet Underground
  • Planet Earth - Duran Duran
  • Teenagers from Mars - The Misfits
  • Uranus - Sacred Weird Little Guys
  • etc. etc.


Please feel free to add to the spotify list, but I don't think we need any more moon songs unless they're really, really good.
