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".
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
@Jesse Mathis my bad if I got anything wrong lmao, I'm just saying what I've been taught which ofc might not be right, to me it sounded weird, again my bad lol
@@Clukay404 The kings of overengeinering inthe best ways. Voyager 1 is still out there 45 years later still communicating with us. So it's no wonder the TTS is so good
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... ``
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
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.
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!
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 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...
hope the algorithm picks this one
I’m happy to let you know it did

Moonbase Alpha at launch: "aeiou aeiou aeiou"
Moonbase Alpha today:
I love how this feel like a second part of the song. Now we just need a third one where they both song together
This song invokes an emotion within me. I don’t know what it is be it kind of makes me misty-eyed.
Maybe our (future) robot overlords just need a hug...
Ty for recommending this one algorithm
No problem
I never played moonbase alpha, i was probably still a baby but still. I teared up. So melancholic
on first listen I was like: ...why am i crying? and today idk why this song continues to make me cry sometimes
It does have that kind of effect
"will i find a love?"
" or a power plug?"
...shyt, man
"Programmed to skeet and not to feel"
With the songs it eithers goes so hard or makes me wanna cry
Moon base alpha text to speech, it creates a false sense of nastalgia
moonbase alpha text to speech aged like a very fine wine. i love finding videos like this :D
It's a real testament to louie's work here that this is STILL shockingly emotional. Good stuff!
Petition to raid NASA's Twitter to make Moonbase Alpha 2
beautifully melancholic.
This feels like a lonely machine wandering about in a void, abandoned by its creator and discarted as nothing but trash
This was definitely not a waste of your day. Thank you for making this, genuinely. ❤️
...why is funny spaceman so sad? 😟
Dang, this is really good! I wish more people knew about these moonbase covers, that way people would be able to see this beautiful creation
I adore this
Hello W U U U U U U R L D
I respect this person's determination and patience. Wish I had one of those
That astronaut is inherently unsettling
This takes aeiou to a whole new level
I wish I could give this 100x more likes, it made me feel so much 😭
God i miss when all the covers werent ai and had actual work put into them
i miss when covers in general weren’t just ai.. you’re so real for this
I’ve been blessed with this video
Woa, what it this? Never heard of it, and it simultaneously sounds good-
This vocal/voice is from a game called moonbase alpha
@@localdeadchild3755 Ah, thanks for the info!
this was surprisingly pleasant
I like this digital space dude
this is what dissociation feels like on a regular basis
"programmed to speak and not to feel"
"Not even sure that this is real"
I wish Nasa would release the text to speech program for other people to use. It's unironically the best one
Why does this evoke the same emotions as Komm Susser Tod
This... This is the best way to relax...
Bro this robot is less monotone than me
I love this... dunno why💙
A modern “Daisy Bell”
actually lovely
Hello Waeiourld is my favorite song
in this case, it's called HALLO WUUUUURLD
happy to be recommend this ;u;
Another amazing video
This song really gives me strong melancholy, even if it's being sung by funny astronaut tts
I didn't know I really needed this.

This is Insane 🤯🤯🤯
DECtalk that's pretty SUS dude stop hiding in that spacesuit
Bro...
This is beautiful
I hope you get more views
This is a masterpiece
imagine this but it is just aeiou
Perfect.
Hello, Moon :)
I'll never understand why artificial voices sometimes sound more expressive than human voices when they singing. But actually... I like it
Aeiou, World
what a weird world we live in
Where can I find more songs with this vibe?
DAMNIT WHY IS THIS GOOD
Me and my friends downloaded this game thinking the gameplay looked fun. We just ended up abusing the text to speech system for 6 hours
Why does this make me sad :(((
It feels like the end of moon base alpha that is why
*J O H N M A D D E N*
Aeiou World.
POV: the end of a good game
I love this meme
beautiful.
I recently did a stream of this game, I hope it will help revive it.
why did I cry
I wish there was a revival of Moonbase Alpha. Very wholesome when someone makes a song using a free game.
