Shiny Toy Guns - Major Tom

[SweetTeaPi]

I remember first hearing this song in a car commercial, fell in love with it immediately. Still love it years later

[williamrivera]

I'm 84 and I still listen to this young people song and yes I am the most technological old man

[StAnger]

Shiny Toy Guns definitely know how to make their covers, there's no denying that.
this version gives me those "chills" every time when the chorus hits.

[AWDTH]

The Oooohs at the end of the chorus of the song are seriously euphoric. It’s like I’m being whisked away to another reality of dreams. So beautiful.

Fantastic: Growing up in the 1980s and hearing the original in high school. Even better: Realizing in 2020 that STG has remade this and their version complements the original.

[StephaneChapheau]

There's very few occasions where I prefer the remix to the original one. This is one of them.

[lysandragrace]

I've been looking for this song for almost a decade, saw it in a car commercial, I guess I can die now

[aprilrain]

My dad would play this in the car when it was dark outside as a kid. I remember the warmth of the car and being asleep. Oh boy the nostalgia

[SerpentStare]

I love this song, from the catchy melodies to the distant electronic sound that starts the whole thing off.

[WilliamAmyot]

Literally have been listening to this on repeat for several hours.

[irrationalgeographic]

I use to sing and hum this when the original came out when I was a kid, never knew the name of the song or who sung it, just heard it on the radio now and then, all these years later and a random click brings me to this cover. Today just got a lot better.

[reaze]

She was blessed with an AMAZING voice, right pick for this song... it gave me chills and goosebumps ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[michaelharris]

3:40 gives me chills every single time

[Galaxy]

Her voice is so perfect for this song! And you can tell it means more to her than just a song she sings.Its coming from deep inside her soul.

[niginai]

peter schilling is a genius for creating this song and i usually just love the 80's originals but i just listened to their cover of burnin for you and this band does a great job with these 80's covers, genuinely good i think

[metropod]

clear things up:David Bowie = "Space Oddity" Peter Schilling = "Major Tom: Coming home" (original title translated from German "Major Tom: Totally disconnected")This is a cover of the German guy's song.

[oscartafolla]

Love the the song, both versions of it. Call me crazy but in my head I feel like the lead singer is an A.I. up in space in control of a space station.

[johnnymcknight]

Does anyone get chills during the chorus? Or am I weird?

[amandah]

I enjoy the original but like this version better. it is a good song to drive and sing to....

Fun fact! To lighten the mood of this song, you can just imagine Major Tom is re-entering the atmosphere and this is an early test flight into space. Radio broadcasts cut out during re-entry of the planet's atmosphere. Plasma also appears whilst re-entry, so this could be why Major Tom thinks he's going to die. Or he might just boil alive idk. "Across the stratosphere a final message" means the message was transmitted in the stratosphere, however prior to this it mentions they are in orbit, meaning he's got to be re-entering the Earth's atmosphere. He's even so confident about coming home, where else would he be going?
