It was in 2006 when we decided to leave Planet Earth and start drifting out in space and time. Our plan was to look at our beloved home from a distance as huge as possible. And, of course, to let you all know what it feels like to have such a privileged point of view. But who are we? Some may say the Astonished Astronauts is a studio writer & composer project from Hannover, Germany. We say it doesn't matter where you're from as long as you know where you want to go to. Houston we've got no problems!

Question of the Day

Why do they want to send a mssion up to Mars? Why do they need to speed in their ordinary cars? Why do they sell the stars and give each one a name? Why do the cats run wild and the lions tame? Ask another question of the day Get another answer every day Is there really something else you want to say? Just call me up and I will pay For the Question of the Day How come the days you've spent seem to repeat themselves? How do you understand the secrets noone tells? Why does your pride depend on smiles you grab like grapes? What was it you meant when you said all is fake? Ask another question of the day Get another answer every day Is there really something else you want to say? Just call me up and I will pay For the Question of the Day

Amelia Counts

Amelia, when will you call And let my poor heart know If we can go on as before If there's a place to go Amelia, I'm wating for The old familiar sounds I know the ocean has ist shore But every second counts She said on Monday It will be Sunday Now it is Wednesday I don't know how much longer I can wait A week can be longer than a year If all you need just seems to disappear A year can be shorter than a day If all you need is here for you Impossible that it could slip away Amelia, there are two kinds Of people that I've met Those who love what's on their minds And those who just regret Until you call, Amelia I'm far away from them I know the whole interior And still ask where I am She said on Monday It will be Sunday Now it is Wednesday I don't know how much longer I can wait A week can be longer than a year If all you need just seems to disappear A year can be shorter than a day If all you need is here for you Impossible that it could slip away
