I think it be relevant for the rest of my days. I bought the album when it was first released. Its one of those, i would put on play for its entirety. Toney Carey was a vocalist & keyboardest for Rainbow. He is super talented and has made many albums, and is still doing it.
"The last man to be here was never heard from again He won't be back this way 'til 2010 Now I'm riding on a fountain of fire With my back to the Earth, I go higher and higher Why me? Why me?"........ When I first heard this song in the 80's and it was mentioned in 2010, I thought it was something elusive back then. And here we are in 2023, and this song still sounds unique! 👽
To all of those 80's times, we all have our memories still in tact from then as well for today to just sit back and zone out with this playing through the good ol set of Pioneer headphones....T...
Working at a 7-11 in rapid city South Dakota and I had a friend named Shirley Litttle Thunder....we had so much fun together. Where are those good times??
Is it crazy that I'd put Tony Carey in my top 100 rock singers of all time!? His voice is so clean, yet he still has that aggressive edge. I love his guitar-driven songs like this one. Most of his hits in Planet P and solo were super catchy. The guy is seriously underrated in my opinion.
I waited and waited for MTV to air this, I don't remember it being in rotation for very long. If you were a record-buying kid during this era then you know how lucky we really were in the early 80's. The flood of great releases was stunning and overwhelming. We loved this diverse, intense and always interesting music and accepted it without feeling even a hint of irony.
winogirlll Well , im 59 and I STILL enjoy this video, plus, TONY CAREY's other video ,about the mobster, getting out of jail , ITS A FINE FINE DAY. Videos were supposed to be stories that accompanied the videos. THEN , the record companies felt concert footage was CHEAPER , easier to produce. So much for creativity. I noticed MTV hits AND VH 1 classics , no longer have a-0z videos on their websites, UGH. Guess ONLY YOU TUBE, is left.
+John G All but his pals Dave Thomas (english) Johan Daanson (Dutch)...He said in a interview at the time they were spending 20 hours a day in his Hotline Studio in Frankfurt.
His music is truly amazing. Tony Carey is a genius. He's released a handful of other Planet P Project albums that are truly masterpieces. His career has been fantastic. And people should know his music, PPP music, and all he's done with Peter Maffay and other performers around the world. He's a true master at what he's done for so many years.
This video blew my frigging mind when I was a kid, home alone watching MTV, it was definitely one of the darkest of the time. Brilliant, timeless music.
Why does it take me decades to learn who did songs that I rarely heard but really stuck out like a sore thumb...thanks to RUclips we can solve our memory problems!
This song came to mind and thanks to youtube, i searched and found it. Such a great song from the mtv era video, that I remembered from '83. Awesome track.....
For reasons I have never understood it was always hard to catch this on MTV. I remember being 20 years old and hearing about the guy who wouldn't be back until 2010, and thinking that was so far away. This is probably one of the coolest videos ever made, and actually complements the song. I remember I would always crank it up when I heard it on the radio.
Yes this song was a great one, got a playlist I made with Rocket Man and A Space Oddity both from 1969 and then Peter Schilling Major Tom and this one both from the 80’s always felt they were tied together.
It's because of music like this, that our generation was the last "cool" generation. The kids we have now, don't recognize great music when they hear it.
@@Magnabee97 ...Agree. The stream of creativity and overwhelming quantity of awesome music (in every genre) ended in the 90s. It went from the mid 60s and lasted 30 years.
Agree with you, too. I think the generation born in the late 60s to early 70's enjoyed the best music ever. 80s music as teens and 90s music as 20-somethings. And also open to appreciate and enjoy the previous 60s and 70s classics... You just can't ask for more.
@Harry Parotestis: You and I must be around the same age and there is nothing cool about your comment or attitude. I will call these douche-nozzle remarks when I see them. I think music these days is pretty shit but that isn't the fault of the current generation. To try attempt to lord over them with that mentality is pathetic.
I was around 13 when this hit..."there must be a thousand other guys. Must be some other way to look good in your eyes." Amazing song and lyrics that resonated even before I fully understood.
This video was an urban legend of sorts - it only was aired late at night , extremely rare , and all the “head” / stoners would rave and rave about it being like the best ever but it was hard to believe them UNTIL actually experiencing it yourself . 💀🌎
"He won't be back here till 2010" and that was 12 years ago now, and 27 years in the future then. WOW did I get old fast. Quick anecdote, I was on my way to the Battle of the Bands, (to perform), gear all piled up in our van, and this song (already a favorite of mine), came on the radio !!! IT was magic !! What a day, 4/29/1983 I will never forget it.
Ok people let’s be honest. Has there been any music of this quality produced in the last, say, 30 years? And this was just one of the many great songs from the 80’s era. Honestly?
Say, if you listen to the lyrics it reveals a lot of truth about the dark side of NASA. Also the video is speaking volumes as to how NASA dispose you and those closest to you. Nobody will know what happened to you.
The 80's were awesome. Was a teenager back then... sure do feel bad for the kids growing up in these time's... vote anything but dem and maybe we can get back to the good time's we had not all that long ago
"He won't be back this way til 2010" I remember watching this video on MTV in the early 80s and thinking 2010 was SOOO far into the future. Now it's 9 years in the PAST! Damn!
Ive got the album. A prized popsession, my cousin, and my uncle tuirned me onto this some how they knew Tony as a ? fellow rocker? I forget which cousin or uncle but i think it was Rudy and ...., Cali or Md. .. the entire album is.. freaking incredible. Static......Armageddon, Send it in a Letter is as good as Why Me. .... Power Tools, I wont wake up... All ya all who dig Why Me.... as much as we do, check out the entire album I know every word of every song, still play that same album over and over, got lazy computing too lazy tonite to stack vinyl , so youtubed and found some entertainment at the same, Iv share afflictions with DASCHAMP, BELOW BUT ., not only cannot remember what i went into the kitchen for, i lost my cell on the way there.
MTV to the Max! Nina Blackwood, J.J. Jackson, Martha Quinn, Mark Goodman,. Oh man , I miss and love those brothers and sisters. I'm glad I was there! Peace and Love
Heard this song on Sirius First Wave tonight while driving. I had completely forgotten about it but as I listened to it I remembered what a cool song it is. Don't know how I forgot it.
ALL 80s songs stopped being played as soon as 90s and Grunge came, it was so peculiar I thought at the time. Like out with the old and in with the new. Il never forget how quickly the transition happened. Some 90s music was good but most wasn't.
The astronaut came back in 2010 and went away again to space when he listened to the radio. He just came back again recently and died when he listened to 2021s charts.
@@7rollface A bit kitschy but hey, we were looking forward to whatever the future might bring. It was the 80's and we were already nostalgic as well as looking forward.
As a kid, and even now, I love how brooding this song/video is. No dancing, no backup singing, no smiling (except the Control Tower guy), just 100% brood. Love it!
@@micmastersstrick5462 MTV doesn't play music anymore because it's ALL GARBAGE.When they start making music like this AGAIN,then it'll be music once again.
@James Nulick I'm older. Back in the late 70's long before FNVs there were several syndicated video shows that showed promotional videos from our favorite pop and disco artists. My sister and I would watch one of these shows at 11PM before Saturday Night Live.
Tony is playing Sweden Rock, in June, if you are so inclined. :-) Tony is an amazing writer/performer. And like John said above, Fine Fine Day is another great song by him.
Keep ''discovering'' the good old school stuff, there's ALOT of it... the ''media'' will cram new crappy music down your throat to sell you their CURRENT artists, but not this because they no financial interest in the old stuff.
Is anyone else still jamming to this great song in 2024???
Yep! Just now as a matter of fact!
@@TheSnowballEarth this song was so underrated and I’m surprised that more people aren’t aware of it.

Greetings from Greece, one of my favourite songs back when i was young at 80's and still is in 2024 !
I certainly am. I graduated high school in 1983!
1984 was quite a year for music
Man I've been trying to find this song for 30+ yrs and right on it just popped up tonight and it's my Bday . Today. God shot.
Essential early MTV video. It got played all the damn time
What a memories of that late summer of 1983. Today June 25th of 2022.
"The last man to be here was never heard from again
He won't be back this way 'til 2010
Now I'm riding on a fountain of fire
With my back to the Earth, I go higher and higher
Why me? Why me?"........

Sounds as good today as it did 30 years ago. The 80's are Immortal.
I haven't heard this in 30 years. Sounds fantastic!
@rj zander Not the same song
To all of those 80's times, we all have our memories still in tact from then as well for today to just sit back and zone out with this playing through the good ol set of Pioneer headphones....T...
Sounds like the song feel the heat
The movie Cobra May be it’s just me lol 😂
Yes it does . Great music
I was a young teenager when this cool song came out. Its 2024 and this music is still great❤🎶
so i can remember all the lyrics to this 30+ year old song, but not what I went to the kitchen for 10 seconds ago...
30+ year old songs are important. What you went into the kitchen for, not so much.
hahahahaha i hear ya
You are not alone. What were we talking about?
Just had this thought myself as I was singing along.
lol
Great song. Before MTV SUCKED!
😆👍
Yep!!!
Seriously man, fuck the Kardashians
No good now for sure, !!!
Very early MTV days too
One of the very best songs from the 80s!
Working at a 7-11 in rapid city South Dakota and I had a friend named Shirley Litttle Thunder....we had so much fun together. Where are those good times??
me too! we grew up..
damn the luck, i miss them dearly too ❤

💯
True
So damn true! Its just sooo sweet and liquid
I Love that whole record, all 12 songs. So many memories.
The guy was a real talent.
Back in 1983 2010 seemed like an eternity away. Now it's 2021 and I'm dumbfounded over how fast the time as flown.
I hear that I was 20 in 1983 now I'm 60 how time flyes
@@RenegadeTruckingCompany I was 13. Time flies indeed.
I'm dumbfounded by all that happened along the way.
My next door neighbor rob played this ..in queens 116street ozone park that was over 35 years ago i liked it since....

Well said Bruce!
i had to walk to the record store to steal this...kids have it too easy nowdays
Agreed brother of the eighties!
It wasn't in stores around my house. I found it at the Monroeville PA record expo 10 years later. Cheap.
hey bruce, class of 83, know how you feel, great times!
Man, who is still listening to this in 2022 like me?
And in 2024 October) And then later on and on
I haven't heard this song in 30 years. This 44 year old is so happy to find this video. Thanks!!!
this 55 yr old is too! :) Isn`t that David Gilmour on guitar/ My ears say so!
winogirlll Well , im 59 and I STILL enjoy this video, plus, TONY CAREY's other video ,about the mobster, getting out of jail , ITS A FINE FINE DAY. Videos were supposed to be stories that accompanied the videos. THEN , the record companies felt concert footage was CHEAPER , easier to produce. So much for creativity. I noticed MTV hits AND VH 1 classics , no longer have a-0z videos on their websites, UGH. Guess ONLY YOU TUBE, is left.
***** I believe all the musicians on this album were German. Except Tony Carey, of course.
+John G All but his pals Dave Thomas (english) Johan Daanson (Dutch)...He said in a interview at the time they were spending 20 hours a day in his Hotline Studio in Frankfurt.
Very underated song, but , the album went no where , unfortunately. :(
Ah yes, back before MTV became a steaming pile of crap !!!!
lol
Agreed
DITTO!
M tv isn’t what it once was ! Now has those stupid realty shows if you call them shows .
A steaming pile of Dog Shit!
We're almost 10 years past 2010. How did we get here so fast?
It seemed so far off then! Wow.
Needs to be changed
now to "He won't be back
this way 'til 3010."
Lol
I'm hearing this song first time in my life in the year 2023. What an amazing song.
Me too.
Had no idea Tony Carey (knew his solo stuff) was in Planet P...and Rainbow. Massively talented guy...the 80s continue to amaze.
they were the best yrs of my life my teen years i was born in 69
Me either. How crazy.
He also did a super rare great instrumental album around this time called Yellow Power, well worth checking out.
I had Pink World@@PACbelltech1
He wasn't 'in' Planet P, he WAS Planet P.
His music is truly amazing. Tony Carey is a genius. He's released a handful of other Planet P Project albums that are truly masterpieces. His career has been fantastic.

Remember hearing this for the 1st time. On WTBS night tracks ki
Reminds me of when Night Flight was THE coolest thing to watch on television.
Wow, I had forgotten about that show!! I would sit at work waiting to get off, to make him in time to start watching. :-)
tallpaul881 now that brings back memories
спасибо за
remember Radio 1990?
tallpaul881 you remember Night Flight?! Very few people do 😉
I haven't heard this song in forty years! Whoa what memories are coming back!
Why does it take me decades to learn who did songs that I rarely heard but really stuck out like a sore thumb...thanks to RUclips we can solve our memory problems!
I'm here every day...Do you know why..? because I had lived in heaven in1983..
Graduated 1983. So much music and fun. What happened. Oh I know the world happened. Whatever that means. Oh vey
I TOTALLY had forgotten about this song, until 30 years later I find it on here! Thank you!!! I've always loved this song!
I was thinking almost exactly the same thing.
It takes me back to my Army days in 1984. The nostalgia of those days and that decade!

They'll be riding spaceships by 2010
One of the best from the 80s especially on a kick ass stereo!!
Tony Carey blew major Tom away with this !
A forgotten classic.

Yeah...I'm 29 and know great music. I grew up on 60s to 80s music.

It would play right after Girls On Film and Two Tribes

Back when MTV was still fun to watch. R.I.P.
1983...flashdance disco Patras Greece
Just listening to some Tony Carrie stuff. Fine Fine Day, FirstDay Of Summer, I WontBe Home Tonight.
I'm not crazy,I found this song and band.Back in 83 this song was everywhere.
yep. about the same time as party town by glenn frey. local radio played the hell out of them.
I remember this video back on MTV. Great song.

Stumbled on this again after years and years, a timeless classic!

Still have a vinyl copy of this. Never reallly heard it much on the radio. Great song.
I went to a flee market, and I saw this album. Had to hear this,forgot how good it was. Dittos to all of your posts
This is the best Noir movie ever
I love it as much as ever! Also check out Tony Carey on his forgotten gem A Fine Fine Day.
An amazing album
Don't forget his track
*"First Day Of Summer..."*
I didn't realize he sang that! This is awesome ❤️
Damn good song!!!!

Legendery songs never die...
just re-heared
A 1983 song, tell us something about 2010, and that was almost 11 years ago. Now I'm a legend...
Why Oh Why did the 80s have to go by soooo fast!
It was, like everything else in the 80s, a communist plot.

KillboyMetalhead back when it was worth a damn.
Before 16 and pregnant
Looks like an '80's movie made from 1950's sci-fi clips. Like many of you I too am SOOOOO glad to find this lost nugget of music gold.
There was a definite 50s revival in the 80s.

I haven't heard this song in 36 yrs!
Loved this back in the day, still do. I won't back this way until 2010...lol

I just discovered this song yesterday, never heard of it or Tony Carey before then. I can't stop listening to this song.
