"Across The Universe"
Written by John Lennon & Paul McCartney
Originally performed by The Beatles in the album "Let It Be"
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
million suns and calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Le 4 février 2008, la NASA diffuse Across the Universe dans l'espace, en direction de l’étoile polaire, pour fêter trois anniversaires : les 40 ans de la chanson, le cinquantenaire du lancement du premier satellite américain, Explorer 1, et la mise au point il y a 45 ans du Deep Space Network, un réseau international d'antennes destinés à l'exploration spatiale.
L'agence spatiale dévoile la réaction de Paul Mac Cartney: « Incroyable, bien joué la NASA ! Envoyez mes vœux aux extra-terrestres. » Yoko Ono, quant à elle, a déclaré qu'il s'agissait d'un événement significatif, un premier pas vers la communication avec les milliards de planètes de l'univers.
