This makes me feel like stopping at the new place they put up on Ganymede. They got the best chicken fried steak I've had since my mammy used to make it for me. Think I'll stop by on my trip back into the inner solar system, pick up some duterium for my rigs fusion reactor while I'm around Jupiter and truck right through to Venus from there. Been hauling Helium-3 from Proxima Centauri for 20 chronological years as an owner operator. Hoping by the time I can retire I can afford settle down somewhere in rural Mars and spend my last days learning banjo, if theres any rural Mars left by then. Always wanted to learn but I never had the time. Keepin the spirit of ancient appalachia alive.
I turned a Japanese garden into a dirt bike course in a rural town and nobody's called the cops on me yet for ripping up the main road. My town is better than your town. Also; rural Mars is over rated. Ain't nobody gett'n laid On Mars...can you imagine bringing what a woman needs to exist these day to another planet? I don't think there's enough rocket fuel to even carry her night time routine. Only way she's going anywhere is if she's a good kisser...or it's a complicated good bye.
Makes me miss my home of New Appalachia, another three months on this laser rig in the outer belt mining carbon, hard work but Titan needs its Graphite, and they pay better than the living I make off the Hogs since the blight hit the Martian Chestnut. I tear-up just thinking about my great-grandpappy, he first seeded those hills during the terraform. Now the hills are dying!
The Martian Chestnut blight!👏👏 - Woodworker here. Wormy chestnut happens to be favorite wood to work with. I even turned a wormy chestnut gear shifter knob for the stick-shift in my Subaru. Thanks for this awesome comment!
I grew up in Jasper GA. Moved out when I was only 9. It’s in the southern tip of the Appalachian Mountains. I miss it very much. Some places I drive in Oregon reminds me of it…
@@GearheadTrucking Beautiful area of GA. I hiked the first 90 or so miles of the App Trail from Springer Mtn to the NC border. Blood Mtn was fantastic. One of my favorite memories of my 20s.
Reminds me of playing guitar and banjo with my grandpappy, in the middle of literally nowhere in the high plains of Kansas in the late 40's, I was 8 yrs old. I'm now 83 and still living in that ole cabin on 64 acres, and still playing my banjo for my great grandkids.
Your great grandkids will carry your banjo melodies with them for the rest of their lives. Somehow the banjo just sticks in kid's brains. My favorite audiences to play for have always been kids. And I've had more people than I can count tell me about their grandad's playing for them as kids back in the 60s, 70s, 80s, etc.
Outer wilds, playing red dead, just working outside. This is a genre I didn't know I needed in my life but now i can't go without it. Huge props from southern Appalachia, takes me back to when Great Grandad was still around
Man this sure does bring back the childhood memories of walking the iron rich mountains of mars. My grandad taught me how to hunt for fossils on Venus the summer before he died.
The aesthetic in this video, as far as I could guess, is probably based on Journey of the Sorcerer. That was the theme song for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
You've done it. You've tapped into a genre I've wanted to exist ever since listening to the Journey of the Sorcerer as the intro to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy all those years ago. Thank you.

It's 2am in a sleepy little village in Wales UK 🏴 and the wind is absolutely howling and I'm in bed with no lights on and I discovered this video and it is so perfect for a night like this, I'm transported to another dimension and I'm sailing the astral plains trying to soak up every last drop of this magic 🪄.
I spent time in Wales a few years ago before covid. Absolutely beautiful countrysides and Snowdonia. I ended up staying in a yurt and a 250 year old cobblestone house, both out in the middle of nowhere.
@@SpaceBanjoMusic really, wow! Wales is such an underestimated place and it's so beautiful, Snowdonia is a true gem of a place and the home's you lived in sound wonderful and in the middle of nowhere is such a blissful experience, thanks for your reply and major thanks for introducing me to the wonderful music you created.
The family are asleep . It’s just ma faithful dog and I on the deck . There’s only three stars ✨ I can see and I’m so grateful for all three . This music will take me and Tex far from here within seconds of focusing on the brightest star Little puff of this here grass n it’s flight time Angels be with you all
It's 10:30am. I just started my shift cutting up derelict station freighters, hanging in the black above the steelways in Morrigan Station, and I am listening to this over the speakers in my pressure suit because the per-minute charge from corporate to use them is worth it for these sweet, sweet tunes.
I used to play banjo with my grandsons back in the forties. This is the way I always heard it in my head. A few weeks ago, my wives and I celebrated our anniversary. We sat outside in the airless night, sharing your music through our helmets, looking up at the Earthrise. It was very romantic. If we ever get back this way again, I'd like you to play at our coronation. The metal fatigue virus should have blown over by then.
To anyone reading this, know that you are loved by many, including me. Take a deep breath and appreciate the good things in this world. Everything is and will be okay. You've got this, and I love you
I remember when I was stationed waaaaay over on the far side of the system haulin' cargo from the TransGov states to the Colonies, man, in my time I took my rig from Ganymede to Alpha Centauri and back 'bout 16 times. Did Virtue Station to the Saggitaurius Arm Colonies a fair few times, still doesn't beat when I got marooned orbiting Deimos with a busted stabilising thruster and a cracked coolant duct. Had to patch it up with some spare crap I had lying around in my rig's hull, before I did though, I just put out a distress beacon and kicked back with some old-timey banjo music I grew up listening to with my pop on New Appalachia...
This reminds me a bit of Borderlands, specifically the Jesper Kyd tracks. He composed them to be western with a spacey modern sort of sound. I was just scrolling and saw "haunting space banjo" and had to click, and I'm so glad I did. Very well done 😊
As we sat around the chem fire the strums of the stranger's banjo reverberated though the hostile foreign gasses of the alien atmosphere producing a haunting but beautiful sound; familiar but distorted like a nostalgic dream. A feeling came over me that these notes were my own story being played, a weary but hopeful journey through a dangerous beautiful expanse.
I think I'm in love with you, except it takes at least three weeks to get good responses on my freight run between Antares and Alpha 497. String instruments can sound really silly if there's too much chlorofluorocarbonation at surface. But my lungs are in favor of playing in a 1G environment with a Nitro/Oxy/carbon atmosphere, with a banjo playing buddy. So... see ya around.
It has been years since I've been down to neptune and the chandelier cities, been working at this old relay station for years, still remember the old frontier, back when pluto wasn't even inhabited, now we got folks in the millions even this far out, the peace and the quiet i seek keeps moving further and further away, i might take my old manta and join the crew for proxima, i can feel the adventure calling me in theese old bones
Been docked in bay on Proxima B for 3 planetary rotations now waiting on transfer chits to come through ! Heavy haulage is usually flagged for inspection. Hydrathyane crystals being classed Grade 3 heavy are a nightmare to transport ! Sometimes I wonder if braiding solar dust would be easier , judicial authorities have certainly found peace out here mixed with all the bright lights.
@@adrikconquest1388Ahhh burocracy in space too, I remember how easy it was in the old pioneering days, back when anyone could claim a rock and take as much as they wanted, now it's all red tape and regulations, I gotta move to the frontier near tau Ceti, it's wild country out there
@@diegomanosperti8682 Mighty fine dream you have there friend , I hope you make it ; Gotta a few more thousand cycles of debt to my family's name before I can dream such thoughts , back some years ago a filter blight struck the colonies and many folks caught ' silver rott ' due to the seals in the respirators getting infected , not a nice way to go . We all fine now but thats a generational killer ! But who knows.. what with prospecting Hydrathyane we go to any system with frozen worlds ' so all the best spots 😄
@@diegomanosperti8682 Hydrathyane could possibly be the new black gold that revolutionized our Great grandadies ' four fathers time.. Found primarily in gas form , Hydrathyane 1A is pressurised gas locked in planetary core pockets predominantly on ice dominant systems at various depths , higher concentrations are found on worlds closer to their parent star's . The presence of Hydrathyane 1B is usually found in giant frozen streams of liquidus chunks of crystal like ice erupting out of the thin atmosphere's , this being the most common form of the highly unstable polly-alloy . This too is drilled an tapped. Mining Hydrathyane 2B crystals out of giant ribbons of ice hundreds of fathoms high and that crisscross across intense vistas to find cracks and pours on ground level is the most intense ride of your life and that's all before even touching any equipment . In its semi stable state Hydrathyane settles as a crystal like structure that at its core is still liquid , it pulses an shimmers like wind caught on a dark pond. This mesmerizing and enchanting substance feels more alive than anything else.. and i sometimes wonder the dangers of blind mining these days. But like I said this new polly-alloy may be the making of our dying lifestyle , and bring new hope and freedom to all our lives across the known systems . That is ' if we can get the darn rock out of here alive '.. kirda signing off .
Keep your Space Marines and such, I'm happy just driving grox to market on an agri-world and appreciating the double sunset while lighting up a fresh Imperial Best cigarette.
Day 938, 3 years into a 6-year contract out here on Europa. Harvesting ice to send out to the outer colonies. Listening to this while currently in the sick Bay. Suit ruptured again. Doc's say they caught the frost bite just in time, no amputation necessary. Missing my family back on Mars. Pray for me 🙏
This takes me back to my teenage years camping out on the Martian plains, just me, the lonesome wind, and those stars that I knew were out there somewhere beyond the dusty skies
Brian Eno talked about in his production for the soundtrack for the documentary For All Mankind that the NASA astronauts were allowed a single cassette on the voyage to the moon. Most wound up brining country music from the time. So the idea of frontier music being the music of the final frontier has always been around.
This doesn’t live in my head rent free. This purchased a plot and pulled a double wide into an empty space I didn’t know I had. 50% of my chakras aligned when I turned this bad boy on.
This!!! Yes! I've been slowly building a Spotify playlist of dark bluegrass and spooky blues. It has to evoke a very particular feeling, so additions are hard to come by, and I'm always on the lookout for songs to add. UA-cam served this up for me, and when I read "Haunting Space Banjo" I had hope but didn't actually expect; after all, when I read about "blackgrass" I thought perhaps I'd found my people, but actually listening to it proved to be a dead end. This, however - the first few notes rolled out, flooding my brain with dopamine, and I knew this was on my wavelength. I'm moving to Appalachia soon and this will fill that cabin in the mountains perfectly. Thank you!!!
I would also love to see/hear your playlist. I was born on Halloween and play guitar/electric Sitar/ and Theremin in a spooky blues/ swamp Rock band in NW Wisconsin. We're adding Fiddle +Banjo to our lineup. Would like to explore more musical visionaries in this style.
I had a whole day planned out, was just gonna put on some background music, then a video appeared called "Haunting Space Banjo" and... well... here we are
This video inspired me to get a banjo, i’ve been playing for eight months now, and I’m super grateful for this video introducing me to banjo, I love playing the banjo, just got my first good banjo!
"I've been here before... It was before anyone else remembers, now, but this planet used to be teeming with life. Great battles were fought here time and time again. I've seen Dawson and his Christian face 3 cruisers and stump fleet command for doing so with just a corvette right bloody here. Not ten trillion lightyears away, Sam Jones and that old Kate Meechum gave their lives to save a crew that simply left. Back then, that was deep space. Things no one else remembers reside in this head of mine. Events indescribable... Sometimes the starts show you things no one else will ever believe. Aligning just right for you, and only you."
i am old enough to remember the domes of Ganymede before the war. My father worked in the agricultural dome and he had to take me with him during the gas hauler riots lockdown when we couldn't get to the lower levels where the school was at. They used to play this tune when they were done sequencing a row and sing. The guys would always tell me that the riots were nothing to wory about.
Damn, that’s must have been rough as a kid. I was on Betelgeuse 5 when that all went down. I’m bio sequenced from my mother, she was all the way on Europa in the origin solar system when the solar riots happened on the original moon!
I know these songs; John Henry, and Little Sadie... "I went out one night for to make a little round, met little Sadie and I shot her down. I went back home and got in my bed, .44 smokeless under my head..." I play banjo too, and I love these classics. That claw hammer... 👌 Doc Watson sang these the best.
Yeh, I’m primarily a metal head and blues, so it’s REALLY COOL to have this eerie, old time banjo music. THANK YOU!! I’m now a lover of your style, and looking forward to more to come.❤😊
More of this please, perfect calm winter evening music. it can be desolate here in Canada in the winter, -35 degrees Celsius, still made it out ice fishing in a snow desert on a frozen lake this weekend though. Yes I Build igloos, I don't sleep in em but theyre a great place to take a break from shoveling snow and life in general.
Been a passer byer my whole life, im retired now. I really do love coming across channels like this :) Sometimes the algo works. Read your bio, i do too have a fascination with trees, not necessary working with them but their extreme resilience. I live in the PNW and wonder what stories these large sticks in the ground have to share.
I'm a fan of bluegrass and Appalachian deep Appalachian music. And let me tell you when I heard I am so glad that I stumbled upon this link to hear this music. You are truly a phenomenal artist putting this together in taking people back way back to long time ago with your grandpappy's and and all and just you captured the essence the true essence of what this stuff was written about back then and family in true values that we are missing today. You are an inspiration and a true artist I mean just amazed me thank you ever so much for putting this together and just almost in tears how much absorbed into this music and where it takes me back long ago. Thank you ever so much for making this this older 53-year-old man feel like a kid again and around his grandparents that he misses so much. Forever indebted thank you ever so much.
I love your work, you make my day brighter every time I play one of your videos in Nebraska. Your music reminds me of my home in Nebraska-I love Nebraska, nearly as much as my father loves Nebraska. My hope is to play this video for my father when I see him again in Nebraska. He is a great man. He would understand what I see in your channel. You truly have something great here, keep up the good work and I look forward to your next video when I’m in Nebraska❤
This is insanely too cool!!!... And I love the changing space cowboy banjo player!!!... I was listening to another music video, and when it was over, I had not closed the window... This came on next!!!... I have a seriously eclectic taste in music, am from Louisiana, so this is dead in my wheelhouse!!!... Had to share with my brothers...
Wow. I never realized how much i miss listening to my pappy play his space banjo sitting in a rocking chair in front of the general store on the death star
You did this very well 💞 A genre of music that has been around for a long time but never goes out of style, still good and true to the talent you brought to more people. Wishing anyone who sees this comment good luck 🍀🍀🍀
🎶 Kudos to the artist for crafting a tranquil masterpiece that's truly unique! Never knew the banjo could be this satisfying 💜🎶 whish you all a great day 💜
this is amazing!!! I play this in one tab and mix it with a log cabin fireplace crackling and winter wind howing outside in another tab. Goes together perfectly!
Galaxy's weird man. I was minding my own business one minute, just flying cargo from Tendra V to that human colony on Terra B when this cruiser started shooting. Sapphire Drake went down over an uncharted world, half the crew dead, my co-pilot, Creeo, wounded. I awoke outside my ship some hours later, apparently I was flung from the ramp in the hanger, and there was just this spaceman. He sat on some stump like nothing ever happened and was playing a banjo like some 21st century farmer. Like I said, Galaxy's weird man.
I like banjos, I like bluegrass, I did not expect the videos of banjo music on this channel to be one of the most effective calming tools around for my newborn child.
This is fine stuff. As a musician (drummer), I've always enjoyed the distinct voice of the banjo, beginning with the Kingston Trio, Earl Scruggs, then ramping up in the '90s and beyond with Bela Fleck--the wunderkind who fused banjo with jazz and other genres.
@@lmp9726 thank you🙏 I remember the first time I watched the video of Bela Fleck's live performance of Big Country back in the 90s(or maybe early 00s) here on UA-cam. Completely opened my mind. I can still hear it in my head.
This makes me feel like stopping at the new place they put up on Ganymede. They got the best chicken fried steak I've had since my mammy used to make it for me. Think I'll stop by on my trip back into the inner solar system, pick up some duterium for my rigs fusion reactor while I'm around Jupiter and truck right through to Venus from there. Been hauling Helium-3 from Proxima Centauri for 20 chronological years as an owner operator. Hoping by the time I can retire I can afford settle down somewhere in rural Mars and spend my last days learning banjo, if theres any rural Mars left by then. Always wanted to learn but I never had the time. Keepin the spirit of ancient appalachia alive.

Listen to "journey of the sorcerer".
2-7-25 same thing
Didn't know I needed Space Banjo in my life but here we are.
same :D
It's going to be hard to explain to people that this is what I listen to now.
I wonder what Stringbean & Grandpa Jones would think about this?
if you're into gaming definitely play Outer Wilds!! space banjo is the main soundtrack (and part of the story). it's beautiful
@@ch._3205 *Travelers theme starts to play*
As a space colonist, I’ve never been home to earth. But this fills my heart that earthers and spacers come from the same place

I'm a trucker and typically a metal head. However, I just discovered this, and I can say I'll be rolling to Idaho tonight to this.
What part Idaho ? I wanna go there. South west part maybe ?
🤙
Space truckin'?
I'm on my way back from Mars with a load of He3 caught this on UULHF ,one more month I'll be back home to my NC mountains 🇺🇸🦅✌🏽
Truckin' and listening to this kind of stuff is the best.
Space and banjos. A combination I never knew I needed.
Play Outer Wilds 🌲🪐
Outer Wilds, Wander Over Yonder, Starbound, Hardspace Shipbreakers
Have I been blind to space banjos?
Perfect soundtrack for Rimworld
No banjos, but if you want some great space cowboy music, dig up the album Sundown on Venus by Jet Black Berries.
Amen to that, brother!
Outer wilds, playing red dead, just working outside. This is a genre I didn't know I needed in my life but now i can't go without it. Huge props from southern Appalachia, takes me back to when Great Grandad was still around
Definitely something we need. Was pleasantly surprised finding this in my feed.
Appalachia Rule's.
To all my daddy's peep's in Fayette County, your prodigal son is coming home. ❤
Banjo with alot of reverb = "new genre" lol
its cool but, new genre..it's all in your brain mate.
@@MiguelBaptista1981new can be subjective. No need to be negative.
@@MiguelBaptista1981 eh, its new to us, subjective things, you not thinking it doesn't mean its not true...
gives me STARCRAFT soundtrack feel. also COWBOY BEBOP also added western/cowboy into space...
Starcraft, 25 years ago, brought me to this moment. Right here, right now.
Man this sure does bring back the childhood memories of walking the iron rich mountains of mars. My grandad taught me how to hunt for fossils on Venus the summer before he died.
The lonesome sound of the banjo is perfect for space. What an excellent combination.
You have to have the right atmosphere to do it properly. Too much helium, and sounds like a 30s Steamboat Willie cartoon..
Huh, who would have thought… I thought it was a very odd combo but im pleasantly surprised it actually works quite well
Space Cowboys 😎
The aesthetic in this video, as far as I could guess, is probably based on Journey of the Sorcerer. That was the theme song for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

“Haunting”
“Space”

There's a reason Journey of the Sorcerer was chosen as the theme song for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. That reason was the haunting banjo.
outer wilds moment
“Moon’s haunted”
“Huh?”
*loads 9mm* “Moon’s haunted”
Earth is gone! And all we have left is the haunting sounds of space banjo, timelessly echoing through the black hole and the cosmos.

A feeling came over me that these notes were my own story being played, a weary but hopeful journey through a dangerous beautiful expanse.
Yea
Great description
beautiful wordsmithing
I think I'm in love with you, except it takes at least three weeks to get good responses on my freight run between Antares and Alpha 497. String instruments can sound really silly if there's too much chlorofluorocarbonation at surface. But my lungs are in favor of playing in a 1G environment with a Nitro/Oxy/carbon atmosphere, with a banjo playing buddy. So... see ya around.
@user-uw1qs7ig8o Ach, we have a poet among us!
It has been years since I've been down to neptune and the chandelier cities, been working at this old relay station for years, still remember the old frontier, back when pluto wasn't even inhabited, now we got folks in the millions even this far out, the peace and the quiet i seek keeps moving further and further away, i might take my old manta and join the crew for proxima, i can feel the adventure calling me in theese old bones
Been docked in bay on Proxima B for 3 planetary rotations now waiting on transfer chits to come through ! Heavy haulage is usually flagged for inspection. Hydrathyane crystals being classed Grade 3 heavy are a nightmare to transport ! Sometimes I wonder if braiding solar dust would be easier , judicial authorities have certainly found peace out here mixed with all the bright lights.
@@adrikconquest1388Ahhh burocracy in space too, I remember how easy it was in the old pioneering days, back when anyone could claim a rock and take as much as they wanted, now it's all red tape and regulations, I gotta move to the frontier near tau Ceti, it's wild country out there
@@diegomanosperti8682
Mighty fine dream you have there friend , I hope you make it ; Gotta a few more thousand cycles of debt to my family's name before I can dream such thoughts , back some years ago a filter blight struck the colonies and many folks caught ' silver rott ' due to the seals in the respirators getting infected , not a nice way to go . We all fine now but thats a generational killer ! But who knows.. what with prospecting Hydrathyane we go to any system with frozen worlds ' so all the best spots 😄
@@diegomanosperti8682 Hydrathyane could possibly be the new black gold that revolutionized our Great grandadies ' four fathers time..
Found primarily in gas form , Hydrathyane 1A is pressurised gas locked in planetary core pockets predominantly on ice dominant systems at various depths , higher concentrations are found on worlds closer to their parent star's .
The presence of Hydrathyane 1B is usually found in giant frozen streams of liquidus chunks of crystal like ice erupting out of the thin atmosphere's , this being the most common form of the highly unstable polly-alloy . This too is drilled an tapped.
Mining Hydrathyane 2B crystals out of giant ribbons of ice hundreds of fathoms high and that crisscross across intense vistas to find cracks and pours on ground level is the most intense ride of your life and that's all before even touching any equipment . In its semi stable state Hydrathyane settles as a crystal like structure that at its core is still liquid , it pulses an shimmers like wind caught on a dark pond. This mesmerizing and enchanting substance feels more alive than anything else.. and i sometimes wonder the dangers of blind mining these days.
But like I said this new polly-alloy may be the making of our dying lifestyle , and bring new hope and freedom to all our lives across the known systems . That is ' if we can get the darn rock out of here alive '.. kirda signing off .
I'm a simple man. I hear a tritone played on the banjo, I click like.
it’s the never ending hall reverb with a nice touch of slapback echo such a lovely soundscape
It’s good to have banjo fired up in the cockpit when flying the belt.
Keep your Space Marines and such, I'm happy just driving grox to market on an agri-world and appreciating the double sunset while lighting up a fresh Imperial Best cigarette.
I don't always rock out to banjo centtric music, but when I do, it's Space Banjo .
Seriously, it's interesting.
Space banjo makes me wish i was there!
Glad you like it! Thank you for subscribing🙏
Day 938, 3 years into a 6-year contract out here on Europa. Harvesting ice to send out to the outer colonies. Listening to this while currently in the sick Bay. Suit ruptured again. Doc's say they caught the frost bite just in time, no amputation necessary. Missing my family back on Mars. Pray for me 🙏
I love how everyone has their own way of describing this genre
Part of me wishes more people would place more weight on the "Old Time" side of it. Almost all these tunes are over 100 years old!
This takes me back to my teenage years camping out on the Martian plains, just me, the lonesome wind, and those stars that I knew were out there somewhere beyond the dusty skies
Who would've thought that the sounds of bluegrass and the great unknown would sound so good together. Thanks for all your work!
Check out "Outer Wilds" video game and it will all make sense. 😉
Thank you for listening!
there should be a book about space hillbillies@foxfireman188-ls1kv
Brian Eno talked about in his production for the soundtrack for the documentary For All Mankind that the NASA astronauts were allowed a single cassette on the voyage to the moon. Most wound up brining country music from the time. So the idea of frontier music being the music of the final frontier has always been around.
They always said the banjo has a "high and lonesome" sound so it makes sense to me.
This doesn’t live in my head rent free. This purchased a plot and pulled a double wide into an empty space I didn’t know I had. 50% of my chakras aligned when I turned this bad boy on.
This!!! Yes! I've been slowly building a Spotify playlist of dark bluegrass and spooky blues. It has to evoke a very particular feeling, so additions are hard to come by, and I'm always on the lookout for songs to add. UA-cam served this up for me, and when I read "Haunting Space Banjo" I had hope but didn't actually expect; after all, when I read about "blackgrass" I thought perhaps I'd found my people, but actually listening to it proved to be a dead end. This, however - the first few notes rolled out, flooding my brain with dopamine, and I knew this was on my wavelength. I'm moving to Appalachia soon and this will fill that cabin in the mountains perfectly. Thank you!!!
Happy you like it
What's the name of your Playlist? And is it public?
Yes i would like to know that playlist
Welcome to these here hills neighbor!!
I would also love to see/hear your playlist. I was born on Halloween and play guitar/electric Sitar/ and Theremin in a spooky blues/ swamp Rock band in NW Wisconsin. We're adding Fiddle +Banjo to our lineup. Would like to explore more musical visionaries in this style.
We don't have nearly enough space western in our lives. Long live Space Banjo!
Long live FireFly!
This is the music I didn’t ask for. But it’s the music I needed.
I had a whole day planned out, was just gonna put on some background music, then a video appeared called "Haunting Space Banjo" and... well... here we are
little sadie done got blasted off into the cosmos
Kool art picture!!!!!!!!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
I use this for ambience in my steampunk D&D sessions. Fantastic ambience.
This video inspired me to get a banjo, i’ve been playing for eight months now, and I’m super grateful for this video introducing me to banjo, I love playing the banjo, just got my first good banjo!
@@starshipgaming8912 that's awesome!! Put a big smile on my face. :) Thank you for letting me know!
I knew space rock was a thing, but this right here hits me where i live.
Space rock for the heart, Space Banjo for the soul
Thanks!
Thank you!
"I've been here before... It was before anyone else remembers, now, but this planet used to be teeming with life. Great battles were fought here time and time again.
I've seen Dawson and his Christian face 3 cruisers and stump fleet command for doing so with just a corvette right bloody here. Not ten trillion lightyears away, Sam Jones and that old Kate Meechum gave their lives to save a crew that simply left. Back then, that was deep space.
Things no one else remembers reside in this head of mine. Events indescribable... Sometimes the starts show you things no one else will ever believe. Aligning just right for you, and only you."
i am old enough to remember the domes of Ganymede before the war. My father worked in the agricultural dome and he had to take me with him during the gas hauler riots lockdown when we couldn't get to the lower levels where the school was at.
They used to play this tune when they were done sequencing a row and sing. The guys would always tell me that the riots were nothing to wory about.
Damn, that’s must have been rough as a kid. I was on Betelgeuse 5 when that all went down. I’m bio sequenced from my mother, she was all the way on Europa in the origin solar system when the solar riots happened on the original moon!
Ever since the release of Outer Wilds I’ve wanted more music like this and low and behold it’s all here!
*lo and behold
I know these songs; John Henry, and Little Sadie... "I went out one night for to make a little round, met little Sadie and I shot her down. I went back home and got in my bed, .44 smokeless under my head..." I play banjo too, and I love these classics. That claw hammer... 👌 Doc Watson sang these the best.
Yeh, I’m primarily a metal head and blues, so it’s REALLY COOL to have this eerie, old time banjo music. THANK YOU!! I’m now a lover of your style, and looking forward to more to come.❤😊
@@twistedcryptid Glad you like it! Makes me happy you know it's old time banjo. :) Most people just say bluegrass. Thanks for the comment.
@@SpaceBanjoMusic yes, it could be considered blue grass as well. Either way, you’ve me got me hooked, thank you my friend.🥰
As a space banjo I agree that this is the way we sound!
Damn I love your music!!!! I am soooo happy I found you here on YT!!! ❤❤❤❤
:) glad you like it!
Chillwave indeed! It relaxed muscles I didn't even know were tensed. Something to listen to while gazing at the starry skies
More of this please, perfect calm winter evening music. it can be desolate here in Canada in the winter, -35 degrees Celsius, still made it out ice fishing in a snow desert on a frozen lake this weekend though. Yes I Build igloos, I don't sleep in em but theyre a great place to take a break from shoveling snow and life in general.
That’s pretty cool. Honestly space science fiction and western genres go hand in hand more than people realize.
After working in the mines of Alpha Centauri its nice to relax with a little space banjo.
Makes me think of Firefly. Love it.
Took me a while but I finally found someone pointed that out
Banjo music to me is always uplifting and happy. Fast or slow I never get tired of the rhythm and tempo. But this hits different. I like it.
"Haunting Space Banjo" sounds like a badass rare item you'd find in some random shack that a UFO crashed near
O MYYYY! You ARE good at this!
A boss weapon in Elden Ring.
Definitely a FallOut Quest Item.
New Quest: Return of the SpaceBillies
* Retrieve the Haunting Space Banjo
Been a passer byer my whole life, im retired now.
I really do love coming across channels like this :) Sometimes the algo works. Read your bio, i do too have a fascination with trees, not necessary working with them but their extreme resilience. I live in the PNW and wonder what stories these large sticks in the ground have to share.
This is fire 🔥
Thank you from a sleepless soul waiting for the day to start on frozen day in Nebraska.
I'm a fan of bluegrass and Appalachian deep Appalachian music. And let me tell you when I heard I am so glad that I stumbled upon this link to hear this music. You are truly a phenomenal artist putting this together in taking people back way back to long time ago with your grandpappy's and and all and just you captured the essence the true essence of what this stuff was written about back then and family in true values that we are missing today. You are an inspiration and a true artist I mean just amazed me thank you ever so much for putting this together and just almost in tears how much absorbed into this music and where it takes me back long ago. Thank you ever so much for making this this older 53-year-old man feel like a kid again and around his grandparents that he misses so much. Forever indebted thank you ever so much.
This is not only a pleasure to listen to, but could easily serve as the soundtrack to a movie about UFO's landing in Appalachia...
I love your work, you make my day brighter every time I play one of your videos in Nebraska. Your music reminds me of my home in Nebraska-I love Nebraska, nearly as much as my father loves Nebraska. My hope is to play this video for my father when I see him again in Nebraska. He is a great man. He would understand what I see in your channel. You truly have something great here, keep up the good work and I look forward to your next video when I’m in Nebraska❤
@@HelloThere... I'm happy to hear that. :) Thank you. To be honest I don't know much about Nebraska. What should I look up about Nebraska?
This is insanely too cool!!!... And I love the changing space cowboy banjo player!!!... I was listening to another music video, and when it was over, I had not closed the window... This came on next!!!... I have a seriously eclectic taste in music, am from Louisiana, so this is dead in my wheelhouse!!!... Had to share with my brothers...
I'm happy you enjoy it! Thank you for sharing🙏
i never thought i would listen to banjo music but you know what A+ will listen again
I love listening to this, it has such a Firefly feel to it.
thank you, someone said it!
You're gorram right.
Browncoats forever.
Shiny.
I don't think insects can sound like a banjo
Kind of reminds me of Firefly. Space western. Awesome! This will be playing at my desk tomorrow.
Wow. I never realized how much i miss listening to my pappy play his space banjo sitting in a rocking chair in front of the general store on the death star
The gem for Kenshi ambient.
You did this very well 💞
A genre of music that has been around for a long time but never goes out of style, still good and true to the talent you brought to more people.
Wishing anyone who sees this comment good luck 🍀🍀🍀
Clicked on this because i was curious. 30 mins later I'm like "wait i want more". Just added Space Banjos to my Spotify list😊
🎶 Kudos to the artist for crafting a tranquil masterpiece that's truly unique! Never knew the banjo could be this satisfying 💜🎶 whish you all a great day 💜
check out andy thorn - aesop mountain , thank me later
bro this is slapping harder than it ever should. works so well in chill idle gaming
This makes my mind wander beautifully to an imaginative place. It’s so peaceful and pure.
this is amazing!!! I play this in one tab and mix it with a log cabin fireplace crackling and winter wind howing outside in another tab. Goes together perfectly!
My oh my this sounds amazing and wish I knew how You were doing that
I must try this!!!
Has such a Firefly vibe - love it!
Exactly what I said 10 seconds into it. Firefly, my favorite Space Opera.
Just when I thought there was nothing new in the galaxy, this comes along 💯🏆
Galaxy's weird man. I was minding my own business one minute, just flying cargo from Tendra V to that human colony on Terra B when this cruiser started shooting. Sapphire Drake went down over an uncharted world, half the crew dead, my co-pilot, Creeo, wounded. I awoke outside my ship some hours later, apparently I was flung from the ramp in the hanger, and there was just this spaceman. He sat on some stump like nothing ever happened and was playing a banjo like some 21st century farmer.
Like I said, Galaxy's weird man.
lmfao, it's funny, because it's true. This f'n place is a trip, truly.
Damn, you were lucky to escape that one! I was on Betelgeuse 5 when the solar riots happened.
Seventy-five years in Cryo-Stasis and the music just ain't the same no more. Glad somebody still appreciates it.
I had no idea such a music concept existed, but now I suddenly have a new favorite.
I want to go somewhere away from lights and roads, and just stare up at the night sky and let my mind roam out there, with this as my soundtrack.
I like banjos, I like bluegrass, I did not expect the videos of banjo music on this channel to be one of the most effective calming tools around for my newborn child.
I did not either but this may be my favorite unexpected outcome of creating this music.
@timbrzeal happy to hear that, keep up the good work.
This is fine stuff. As a musician (drummer), I've always enjoyed the distinct voice of the banjo, beginning with the Kingston Trio, Earl Scruggs, then ramping up in the '90s and beyond with Bela Fleck--the wunderkind who fused banjo with jazz and other genres.
@@lmp9726 thank you🙏 I remember the first time I watched the video of Bela Fleck's live performance of Big Country back in the 90s(or maybe early 00s) here on UA-cam. Completely opened my mind. I can still hear it in my head.
There's a lot of "Little Sadie" in this, I love it.
