"Major Tom (Coming Home)" (German: Major Tom (völlig losgelöst), translation: "Major Tom (totally disconnected)"), is a song by singer Peter Schilling from his album Error in the System. With a character unofficially related to "Major Tom", the theme of David Bowie's 1969 song Space Oddity, the song is about the character being caught in an accident in space.
The song was originally recorded in German, and released in West Germany on January 3, 1983. It reached No. 1 in West Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The English version was first released in the United States on September 24, 1983. It reached No. 1 in Canada, No. 14 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart in late 1983, and No. 4 in South Africa. The English-language version of the song also reached No. 2 on the dance chart in the U.S.
In 1994, Schilling made and released a remixed version along with Bomm Bastic, titled "Major Tom 94". Another remix was released in 2000, titled "Major Tom 2000", and yet another in 2003 titled "Major Tom 2003".

I love this song. Here are the lyrics for this exact version if you care to learn them: Standing there alone The ship is waiting All systems are go "Are you sure?" Control is not convinced But the computer Has the evidence No need to abort The countdown starts Watching in a trance The crew is certain Nothing left to chance All is working Trying to relax Up in the capsule "Send me up a drink." Jokes Major Tom The count goes on... 4, 3, 2, 1 Earth below us Drifting, falling Floating weightless Calling, calling home... Second stage is cut We're now in orbit Stabilizers up Running perfect Starting to collect Requested data "What will it affect When all is done?" Thinks Major Tom Back at ground control There is a problem "Go to rockets full." Not responding "Hello Major Tom Are you receiving? Turn the thrusters on We're standing by." There's no reply 4, 3, 2, 1 Earth below us Drifting, falling Floating weightless Calling, calling home... Dann hebt er ab und Across the stratosphere A final message: "Give my wife my love." Then nothing more Far beneath the ship The world is mourning They don't realize He's alive No one understands But Major Tom sees "Now the light commands This is my home I'm coming home." Dann hebt er ab und Earth below us Drifting, falling Floating weightless Coming home... Völlig losgelöst von der Erde Schwebt das Raumschiff Völlig schwerelos Earth below us Drifting, falling Floating weightless Coming, coming Home Home x 2 times. Thank you my friends. Peace to the world. Danke meine Freunde. Frieden in die Welt

1983 Tower Records former employee. Memories of getting high with weed and vodka with cranberry juice ringing up product. Great song from that time and space in my life.
