This is awesome. :-)

I'm glad you liked it too, Nick. I watched it over and over all weekend long and can't get parts of it out of my head. Disappointing that it's a little over my four-year-old's head yet, but I'm looking forward to sharing it with her when she's a bit older.

"A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way"
Chills ran down my spine.

Best music video. Ever.
And the YouTube comments brought me to your site and my first glimpse of your books, which I look forward to reading, especially Idlewild.

"Cosmos" was very important to me, so I was a little skeptical when I first learned of this (via Boing Boing). When my friend Austin emails the link to me, and says that this is proof that there s still talent in the US & Great Britain, then, and only then, did I check it out.
This... is moving.

Beautiful video of a beautiful human being.

Cosmos changed my life as a child. I couldn't have been more than 7 when I found a show that talked to me and not down to me. I watched every episode every time it ran. It gave me the wonder of the universe that I carry with me to this day.
Then, this song comes out and taught me something new, something I did not realize - your father was a poet. His turn of phrase was simple, yet awesome and powerful.
I am going to go and buy Idlewild as I hear you have similar talents!

I'll echo the sentiments above. This artist's treatment Dr. Sagan's works made me tear up and shiver in a way I didn't think possible, considering the application of the dreaded autotune. The chorus is absolutely haunting.
At the same time, it brought me to this site and to your novels that I wasn't aware of. I look forward to discovering them.

It's so beautiful and awesome. I love it!

There's a new video up by the same artist (featuring Carl again). It's just as beautiful and addicting as the first one:

Nick, I found your site after viewing A Glorious Dawn. When I first went to watch the video, I expected something rather campy. Instead, I was deeply moved by your father's prose (sung or not) accompanied by such beautiful images of the cosmos.

My six year old daughter knows all the words to it and the other "we are all connected" but "glorious dawn" is our favorite. I think I might play over and over a bit much :)
I did some websearching on your father's personal life and my heart is happy to know he has offspring! I am glad to know you exist.

I cried when I saw this. So well done. Howbefitting for one of the kindest, gentlest, wisest souls we have to miss.

What can I say? Just beatiful!!!
This video make me feel... happy, melancholy, hopeful... many feelings in a single one. Thanks for sharing this little masterpiece.
Maybe our children, or the children of our children, are gonna contemplate an amazing and marvelous dawn like this one.
Hey Nick: your dad and Stephen Hawking are the best astronomers I've known in all my life!!!!
Greetings from La Paz-Bolivia-South America... XDDDDD
