Oh, Peter Schilling, the last time we chatted, I was flying to Hawaii! I can’t believe it’s been over 3 years since then, and yet it seems like a lifetime ago. Anyway, Peter Schilling, I remember the first time I heard this song, it was probably about ten years ago, I had bought a New Wave compilation from Target or something on impulse and popped the CD in and when this song came on I was immediately entranced. As I was recently talking about when Elton John and I chatted about “Rocket Man”, I love me some space rock, and this might be my favorite. I get the chills every time I hear it, especially the end when Major Tom says he’s coming home. Bluh! Just got the shivers again. Thank you for making such an amazing song, Peter Schilling!
