    It's 2024 and my teenage son brought me here. He heard 4 seconds of this song on some radio ad and was driven to know this song. He said their voices are pitch perfect. All I could tell him was "Son - that was a hit song from my time" - but I found it - evidence enough that 80s music is here to stay.

    The punk scene in the 80s in Germany was amazing. So much great music came out of that scene. Probably the last great decade for music. This is my all time favorite song. Its got a great beat and the lyrics and story they tell are literally out of this world. An astronaut lost in space. Drifting endlessly forever. Alive inside yet dead to the world. Such a great life metaphor for how many people feel. Drifting aimlessly. Alive inside. But eternally ignored by society.

      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.

      I generally do not read youtube comments but this one took of particular interest. A lot of what you stated is correct but not quite. As far as the whole 2012 Ancient Mayan Doomsday prophecy, it is actually very much set in stone as one of the greatest serendipities that is yet to conquer the whole world or "macrocosm" as we all know. There have been many other prophets from around the globe supporting this prophecy not just the ancient Mayans. All that being said apparently it was miscalculated according to the date. Supposedly December 21st 2012 was going to ignite the end of times bringing on catastrophic destructions such as natural earth disasters, etc. Not only that rumor has it that a giant dragon is supposed to arise out of the Ocean somewhere spitting fireballs all over the earth. All that being said , guess what ? It was a slight miscalculation with the year.... that's right, it did not happen in Dec 2012 but reverse that so they say and that means that it is really bound to happen this year.... 2021. Reverse the 12 it's obviously a 21. So that being said come the date of December 21st 2021 we are all going to be in for something extremely serious.

    Timeless. This could hit the top 10 again today and be relevant as it was when released. The world after Covid is begging for peace and freedom's and more relationships than the internet. The closeness of family and friends. We need hope not chaos. Love to all. Keep dancing.

    As a child I remember hearing this on MTV...my husband was watching Umbrella Academy and I was in the kitchen when this song played. I actually stopped what I was doing to listen...there was an emotion I can not explain that literally welled up inside and gave me chill bumps. I have listen to this song several times over the last 2 days and I simply can't get it out of my head...

    1983, perhaps the best year out of the 80s for iconic 80s new wave music. Such an iconic early 80s new wave classic. Timeless masterpiece. It makes me sad, happy, nostalgic, and wanting to sing at the top of my lungs. I just turned 57...
