I was at an event where astronaut Bill Oefelein spoke. He showed a
short launch video, and it was accompanied by a song. A male singer,
in the style of Gomez, Dave Matthews, David Gray. The lyrics had
something about Earth, coming back to earth? Something wrapping
around?
Sorry I can't remember more.

Fuck it, I should have realized it earlier, from the original
posting:
