My take on the historical figures theme. I’ve written it as sort of a murder ballad, given the poor dog doesn’t survive. Probably a slightly different approach from other participants but I hope you enjoy it.

Brilliant song Tom. Great original idea, nice melody, good unusual chord progression, memorable hook-line, and a very enjoyable performance.
Really interesting chord progression and an original concept for a song. I think this one will stick with me.
Love a space song Tom. Liking the dogonaut story. 😁👍
Thanks for all your positive comments. I thought I was going to struggle with this months theme, which I thought favours a “folky” approach which is not really my style (although I have nothing against folk music). But I have a painting of Laika by a friend of mine called “I miss the streets of Moscow” which was what inspired the idea, and I thought it was a nice take on the theme.
Love it! An excellent take on the theme. Great, hooky chorus. A very enjoyable listen.
Really novel way of relating a story through the eyes of the Laika. Nice progression and lyrics. Good one
Thanks Cath & Huw. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
A very sad story really. Because I’m an extreme dog lover, I can’t say it’s a “lovely” tune. However, It is well written and performed. I’m sure it strikes an emotional chord with many. Good work!
Steve – my sympathy in the song is very much with the dog!
Really like this Tom. Great song and subject.
Really interesting perspective on the challenge! Told the story well and nice chord progression.
You really drew me into little Laika’s story, Tom. Of all the song’s I’ve heard this month, this is the one that has made the biggest impact on me. There’s an honesty & simplicity to it that I truly admire.
Of course! Great topic tied in with a great tune – very enjoyable
This is a really interesting subject matter. The minor chords add to the pull on the heart strings for the poor dog along with the descending bass line.. Great storytelling.
Thanks for all those lovely comments. I’m feeling a bit giddy being up in second place at the moment. I’ve never been that high before!
sorry i missed the voting – that was excellent. really struck a cord.
