80's Tune of the Day: "Coming Home" by Peter Schilling Anybody remember this song from the 80's?  this song especially the "4-3-2-1" and the chorus part, it's just very catchy. It's the kind of song that sticks in your head after you've heard it.
Major Tom - Coming Home Standing there alone The ship is waiting All systems are go Are you sure? Control is not convinced But the computer Has the evidence "No need to abort" The countdown starts Watching in a trance The crew is certain Nothing left to chance All is working Trying to relax Up in the capsule "Send me up a drink" Jokes Major Tom The count goes on CHORUS: 4...3...2...1... Earth below us Drifting falling Floating weightless Calling calling home... Second stage is cut We're now in orbit Stabilizers up Running perfect Starting to collect Requested data What will it affect When all is done Thinks Major Tom Back at ground control There is a problem Go to rockets full Not responding "Hello Major Tom Are you receiving Turn the thrusters on We're standing by" There's no reply CHORUS Across the stratosphere A final message "Give my wife my love" Then nothing more Far beneath the ship The world is mourning They don't realize He's alive No one understands But Major Tom sees Now the life commands This is my home I'm coming home Earth below us Drifting falling Floating weightless Coming home... Earth below us Drifting falling Floating weightless Coming home... Earth below us Drifting falling Floating weightless Coming coming home... Home..... RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I know the song well. Some days I think it's irritating as all hell. Others, I kinda like it. I wonder what Bowie fanatics think of it...? | |

I didn't know that there is an english version of that song. I only know the german original.  On the same token, I didn't know that there was a German version of this song. Kind of like that other song "99 Red Balloons" or "99 Luftballoons", which also had an English and a German version. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I also didn't remember there was an English version yep, I remebmer it, it was played on Casey Kazom's AT 40 (which aired on OE3 during those years) but in the normal radio shows I think the Engllish version was hardly ever played around here, at least much less then 99 red ballons Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green.

I loved the little stories he was telling in between the songs. Those were the days when Kiss was number 2 on the US charts . It was also the first time I ever heard "A Love bizarre" With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be!
