I don't know why but I love that when the Moon base voice is out into song, it pronounces some stuff "wrongly" according to normal singing. Like saying "love" and "luhv" and "world" as "werrld."
@@w_as_in_worcestershiresauce @WhakeNeD No I mean like in singing, generally you want to shape ur mouth in a more O shape while still have the "uh" sound of course but the way the astronaut is doing it sounds like he isn't holding his mouth right(idk how to explain it). It's still pronounced "luhv" but with a better mouth position if that makes sense

Okay but hear me out… This is the astronauts first time in space. He’s fairly young for an astronaut, he’s in his late twenties, he lives alone and doesn’t get out much , and he finds himself feeling unsure about life. He’s going on a solo space mission, and when he lands on the moon, he looks up and sees the earth, and he starts singing to it, asking if what’s out there if you open up is really worth it and letting go of his cares.
I think the moonbase alpha tts adds an extra charm to the song. Since its a speaking program, and not a singing program, It holds "er" and "ey" sounds (diphthongs) way longer than sounds natural. When someone is being trained in singing, not stressing diphthongs is one of the first things you practice to make the singing sound more natural. It adds to the idea that the robot is struggling and only recently has "found his voice".
Imagine this song playing as one of the astronaut is having fun with his friends but over the years the game starts slowly dying and he doesn't stop playing, watching as the servers die and he's the only one playing, looking back to the main menu and leaving, as the last player who ever played moonbase alpha.
"uh, houston, i dont think i'll make it any longer. could ya tell everyone my story? or-or something? its getting cold... i dont see anyone else. I-I'm scared."
`` Houston, it'll be okay. Just stay connected with us, okay? We'll send someone up to get you... Just hang on there, buddy. We're bringing you home... ``
Fun fact, the software used for the tts in moonspace alpha is called DECtalk, and it is a pain in the ass to get a hold of so moonspace alpha is really the easiest way to use it :/
@@ryanhernandez8324 idk bit I've done a whole bunch of looking about 2 years ago and was only able to find a download for a demo version of DECtalk 5.0 in some dark corner of the web which barely worked. Basically, a day of searching and I couldn't find the right program. I've lost the download by now, sorry.
Honestly, this song is really beautiful. The original song is actually on a playlist of mine, and this remake is just as good. It just brings so many memories of playing moonbase with the boys and hearing someone using it for a cover in 2020 makes me tear up a little and miss the old days. Thank you for this masterpiece
the one in the original is `virtual singer` (as attested in the description) by myriad online, the one in moonbase alpha (and here) is dectalk by digital equipment corporation entirely separate companies i'm sorry to say
I appreciate that they covered the instrumental part of the song and didn’t just put the moonbase alpha voice in the original. I love the original song, but this one feels like it was better made for the way moon boy speaks. Lovely cover!
I so happy and absolutely delighted that Moonbase Alpha songs are still being made! It really brings back so many happy memories of old youtubers like Seananners and Vanoss having fun in their golden age... I miss them...
hey, ik you said you "I wasted a day of my life on this " but I wanted to take the time and thank you for this. I genuinely love robotic and Moonbase Alpha sounding songs, and these two aesthetics fit so nicely together. Thank you for making my day better.
I like to imagine this is what something like Voyager would sing to itself as it floats billions of miles from home, and millions of years after we have gone
aaaa moonbase alpha songs always make me so happy theyre so soothing!!!!! this is beautiful, i loved the original so much and this just warms my heart to no end, thank you so much for this!
This song which is about moonbase alpha reminds me of a game called Take On Mars. It's pretty much the same but you can be on Earth, Mars, Orbit, The Moon, Deimos, The Asteroid Belt and Europa. And it also slowly died ): (due to no more updates) less and less servers everyday until there was like 1 or 2 online at it's best time with no more than 2 players on them. It was a great game, it used to have tons of servers and a nice community...
ngl this made me feel sad, mainy the "creator dont leave me waiting" part. moonbase alpha is dead and it was left behind by everyone, except for the few that do this
Glad to see quality moonbase alpha songs still being made in 2020 :)

this text to speech has _amazing_ vibrato
This is part of why so many songs can be done so well with it. That and it can be programmed with pitch shifting and such

You can do this with regular DECtalk too.

I cannot describe how much serotonin his lil walk give me. 💖
I watched a couple moonbase alpha recovered song videos from my recommended feed, and the algorithm brought me here :)
This feels like a classic pokemon game ost lost to the sands of time
This deserves so much credit
Aw, this is so adorable! You did a great job with this cover :)
man, this feels different when you are passing through rough moments
This version gives me a eveen sadder feeling
Same here man
we will all grow up remembering these trends and ideas, some less than others, but im happy.
this is so cute 🥺🤲

youtube stopped me from seeing this masterpiece for 5 months
this is so beautiful I don't know if I should cry, clap, or cry and clap more, cause this is now one of my favorite songs of all time
There's something so peaceful and beautiful about this song.
It's a real testament to louie's work here that this is STILL shockingly emotional. Good stuff!
Morally obliged to watch everytime i see it on my feed
I have been waiting for a new one for so long, and here it is. As one of my fave songs too!
Literally tearing up at a spaceman singing what is wrong with this world
A timeless masterpiece is what moonbase alpha is
Look at him go! Hes singing a song while questing to find John Madden.
This is the most comforting voice I have heard.
watched one “hello world” video and now my recommendations is cluttered with them
i’m certainly not complaining, though!
this is the clearest the lyrics are in almost any version
I never played moonbase alpha, i was probably still a baby but still. I teared up. So melancholic
I've been dabbling in this hobby. I loved this before, but now I can really appreciate how melodic and natural you have managed to make it sound
Odd that the only tts to sing this song that actually has a job (working on the moon base) says that it’s programmed to speak, and not to work
;) I felt every emotion that is possible happy, sadness, and more. this deserves more than 5 stars
This was absolutely NASA's intentions.
To randomly find a song cover like this while wandering the internet. I enjoy these lucky chances.
god, why am i crying at this.
the crossover the world needed... amazing and beautiful
My brain when I get sad and have a song stuck in my head so it changes the song to be sad too:
ngl this made me feel sad, mainy the "creator dont leave me waiting" part. moonbase alpha is dead and it was left behind by everyone, except for the few that do this
damn dude, this is great
i cant help but feel like this is the culmination of the last decade of culture
Maybe our (future) robot overlords just need a hug...
How dare you make this beautiful hard work of art in here, you wonderful bastard I love this.
thank you for the Moonbase songs
We can only cherish they existence
“…not even sure if this is real” perfectly sums up the average Moonbase Alpha experience
this music manages to be sadder than the original
Hittin this late at night when you're all alone is really transcendental
now THIS is something to sub for
I just listen to this alongside the OG song and it such a beautiful duette. It brought a tear to my len
Moonbase Alpha songs are always
thanking for taking the time to make this
True fine art
i really like the moonbase alpha voice. it sounds so calming and trustful. good job
