[@citeltheof]

I'm the same. Once I listen to this song I pretty much have to go without music for awhile. It's very "ethereal," if you will. It's also melancholy. I think what is hardest for me is how the wife responds to Major Tom's demise: she's in the arms of another man. That wrecks me and not in a good way. I think the idea of my wife in another man's arms while I'm away is a torture too insufferably indescribable to utter. An agony better suited for hell than earth. Then I wonder if Major Tom put his career before her and it drove her into another's arms. Then I wonder if it was just the music video director's cynical view of love.

As a marine I was walking across a parade deck in front of the chow hall on a weekend in 29 palms California and I heard the chorus “4,3.2,1....” over the loudspeakers. The high tone echoed off the buildings and I instantly loved this song. It sounded surreal. Today the chorus gives me chills and brings me back to this walk across the base.
