Musical note: Chris would like to acknowledge that he now realises that The Exoplanet Song’s chorus melody is really quite similar to the verse melody from Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours”. And by “quite similar” he means “almost identical to”. He’d like to point out that he did have a sneaking suspicion there was a reason the song had come to him so quickly … So, you know, thanks Jason.)
