In the intensive care ward of a Parisian hospital, a man in bed « I think ‘God’ is a great name for a solo artist. »
His five-year-old daughter, Lily: « I think ‘Spaceman‘ is better. »
When from out the mud comes a rose, bow to it. When from out a rose comes a man, run from him.
Spaceman is a man from out a rose, from out the mud. Born Stephen Munson, from out the roses of the muds of Colchester, southeast England, he became a legend in the underground punk scene of the 80’s London with his band Living In Texas.
He then became a man, becoming one of the most notorious band managers, living life on the nefarious road, breathing and sucking the love and the fuck, the pain and the death of the road.
After enough of the road, Munson changed yet again. He shed his Christian name. His muddy feet lifted off the ground and he began another life of music, this time from above.
This is Spaceman’s story.
Run from it.

REVIEWS
"I've always been a bad musician and a fool.There are more engaging ways to sell yourself today, but Stephen Munson, a quirky guy from Colchester, Essex, England, has never done anything like everyone else. With Living in Texas, a minor post-punk band, he built a small piece of legend in the 1980s.
Wandering around Paris, he started accumulating songs, sometimes spontaneous, sometimes the result of the moment. Among these twenty-five samples of amateurism elevated to the rank of fine art, SPACEMAN (as he now calls himself) lets the listener decide. For us, it will be JULIE CHRISTIE, a fragile and charming ode to the actress from Far from the Madding Crowd.
From his marginal solitude, Munson flashes starry messages.
