There's an ethereal euphoria to this chorus that on paper shouldn't work quite as well as it does. As a bit of a rhythm and syncopation guy myself, it surprises me just how much I feel from simple half notes throughout the chorus.

[@eddyf4426]

Plenty of stereo width, layered vocals and reverb helps with that epic moody airiness ..soo good

I don't even remember why, but this song was playing in my head all morning. Had to hear it. Loved this song when it came out. Always put me in a good mood.

[@quingun00]

I remember seeing this video several times way back in Summer of 1983 but it was a difficult video to catch on MTV though lol

[@yogainstructor4437]

For those that dont know the story starts with David Bowie’s “Space Oddity”. In that one, Major Toms ship suffers difficulty and loses communication with ground control. This song is a continuation to give a possible ending. In this one, Major Tom has been up so long, gone mad, and he believes he belongs there. When he recconects with ground control, he tells them bye and cuts off communication.

[@blochtar]

and the sad part is that it ends with "ashes to ashes" also by Bowie

[@spillikyn9128]

I totally thought the dude was just an alien or something

[@estilkind]

My very first trip to Venice Beach California.....shortly after it started he said...I love this song and turned his system in his beautiful classic car up to the highest it went. What a beautiful taste of music I tasted that day in the air. We all sat in silence and listened quietly though it may not have been the type of genre we all listened to on our daily, we all say and relished in the magic that was this song on the radio....

my dad and i used to listen to this song as a kid. he always had a way of explaining story lines and making them so interesting. i was fascinated by this astronaut and what happened to him. i remember us listening to this in the kitchen once, i was probably 4 or 5, and he told me to call into the radio station and request the song. i was too scared and told him to, but he said it would be cuter if it came from me. i ended up being too scared to call. anyway, years later, when i was probably 14, this song came on my dads tv music channel. he used to listen to it when he cleaned and stuff. he came to get me out of my room or wherever i was and was like 'hey, come here', and took me into his room where this song was playing. we both just kind of smiled because years later, we both thought of each other whenever we heard this song. i miss him every day. this is the one song i refuse to buy on my iPod and almost never listen to it aside from the radio, because i don't want to wear it out.

I never studied music, and I’m not a musician, but holy shit that bass is the coolest bass I have ever heard. I come back to this song at least once a week just to hear that bass. The chorus is incredible too. Masterpiece! Is this band still around?
