    This is one of my favorite songs ever. It makes me feel like I'm flying. Anyone else feel the same way?

    in 1989, I was in High School, driving around California watching the sun rise after a party listening to Deadbeat Club, Topaz, and Follow Your Bliss, over and over again.Once the sun was too bright I went home. That was my time...thank you Beth.

      Mine was Bushfire..smoking some great weed and listening to the gang. Couldn't believe anyone could sound that clean and pure. Had listened to the B-52's a ton, but Cosmic Thing took it to a new level.

    One of the best from the 90's. A song that can bring you back in time.

    My favourite B52's song. The harmonics are incredible. It should have been a single.

    Can't believe it, I'm in candy galore when I'm listening to the Bs. Just found this song for the first time and I love it. This group is magical, their songs just hook you up from the start. I have a confession, the Bs has become an obsession to me. I can't stop listening to them.

  • @nigerianrocker7297
    @nigerianrocker7297 14 лет назад

    a lil history of me and this song:
    once i asked my friend to download a b52 song good stuff and instead i got this track..instantly i fell in love with it...only for one of my friends to borrow the cd from me
    and when i asked about it. he says he can't find it...and i never really got the name of the b52 track...
    just this morning i used bit torent to download the discography after a two yrs interval and finally i found it..
    the big smile on my face is quite menacing to say the least
