Stewart, who mastered Shakespeare and found acclaim both on stage and on screen, first entered pop culture as Jean-Luc Picard on <em>Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In keeping with the theme of his breakthrough role, here are a few starry and space-minded tracks from Stewart\u2019s fellow Brits. Picard may have traveled on a starship, but he also explored the depths of the human condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cLadies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space\u201d by Spiritualized<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-UGbOqadHb0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Falling in love is one of the most consequential events of the human experience. Big feelings, big decisions, on a big planet. But in the utter vastness of outer space, it\u2019s tiny. All of it, including us, minuscule. We seek meaningful and lasting connections on a Pale Blue Dot, hurling toward some unknown. With help from Elvis Presley\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/elvis-presley\/cant-help-falling-in-love\">\u201cCan\u2019t Help Falling In Love\u201d<\/a>, Spiritualized leader Jason Pierce takes us on a voyage of unconditional love, pain abatement, and cautious vulnerability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I will love you till I die,<br>And I will love you all the time.<br>So please put your sweet hand in mine,<br>And float in space and drift in time<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cStar Sail\u201d by The Verve<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Star Sail (Remastered 2016)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8nOUAIGyY9U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four years before Richard Ashcroft penned one of Britain\u2019s great rock anthems, \u201cBitter Sweet Symphony\u201d, he prowled around the stage in such an unhinged manner that critics dubbed him \u201cMad Richard.\u201d Leading The Verve, Mad Richard\u2019s voice was often buried in a haze of improvised jams and gorgeous shoegaze. \u201cStar Sail\u201d is the first Verve song I heard, and it left me staring at my speakers as guitarist Nick McCabe conjured the sounds of a churning and unpredictable universe with his pedalboard. It foreshadowed the tumult of his own band. The Verve imploded just as they were taking off. Then they reformed, dropped an urban hymn, and then burned out from the heat that propelled them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Hello, it\u2019s me, it\u2019s me calling out,<br>I can\u2019t see you.<br>Hello, it\u2019s me crying out, crying out,<br>Are you there?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cBlack Star\u201d by Radiohead<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Black Star\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d7lbzUUXj0k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We fear what we don\u2019t know. As children, it was the monster under the bed. As adults, it\u2019s a looming worst-case scenario that most likely won\u2019t materialize. But we fret about it anyway. In \u201cBlack Star\u201d, Thom Yorke sketches a portrait of heavy depression. A relationship splinters, and the couple can\u2019t understand why, so they invent scapegoats for their problems. Don\u2019t understand \u201cwhat is eating you,\u201d Yorke says. Blame it on the falling sky, I guess. It\u2019s the irrational part of the brain competing against the rational.
