I wasted a day of my life on this

[klutzspecter]

I wish there was a revival of Moonbase Alpha. Very wholesome when someone makes a song using a free game.

[greyworld]

Glad to see quality moonbase alpha songs still being made in 2020 :)

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."

[totothesquid]

this text to speech has _amazing_ vibrato

[eyewai]

this is really cute for some reason... like 🥺 a lonely astronaut just singing on the moon

[nerd_]

When he said _"aeiou"_

I felt that 😔👊

[plague_dash]

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.

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".

Oh god this hits differently when u’re out on the street at 3am

[punkbnuyyy]

"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."

[E.T.]

''aeiou aeiou''

-astronaut with funny voice

Edit: Thanks for the likes ;)

[moomoobeef]

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 :/

[Livecuhreaction]

wasted is a strong word for what you have made, it was not a waste. it brought a smile to 6000 people.

[jan_harald]

the only reason moonbase alpha ever was popular was because of the ability to make the TTS sing, lol
never let robosinging die, plz

[snesnerd]

if you think about it, the original song is a moonbase alpha song since the tts voice is one of the voices you can choose in moonbase alpha

[dero]

Im glad Daftpunk came together once more, to make this masterpiece.

[spacecase]

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

[duskbunny]

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!

[nyranmiguel]

The saddest little astronaut I've seen, apart from the lost snail one.

If you were wondering, the text-to-speech software used in Moonbase Alpha is called DECTalk, and it's open source.
