MANILA, Philippines – The 1960s was a decade of momentous breakthroughs, from American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin becoming the first men on the moon to the meteoric success of The Beatles in every radio station and concert arena worldwide.

45 years after the Apollo 11 mission and the release of The Beatles’ Abbey Road album, Berlin-based songwriter Louise Gold brings icons from both breakthroughs together. Gold performs a cover of the late Beatle John Lennon’s “Oh My Love” and uses an audio clip of Armstrong’s heartbeat from the Apollo 11 records as a bass line for the track. – Rappler.com
