I think the only reason this video doesn’t have more views is due to people likely not knowing the name of this song
the german original was more popular and up in the charts for an insane long time
@@zoolkhan what is the name for the german version?
@@lummx Also Major Tom. Nothing much to translate with the title, major is also major in German.
17 MILLION views is pretty good, I think
I once heard this song, and for a entire year I tried to find out his name (but because I listened the german version, I didn't know the lyrics) but a few days ago my ex boyfriend played it out on TH-cam, so yes, it's a song pretty hard to find
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.
I was born in the year 2004 and i have grown around my siblings that have been born in the early 90s and i have been living my childhood around 90s tech and stuff and i love music from 80s and 90s!!
I hope 80s/90s music will not lose popularity❤
Big shoutout to him, I reintroduced this song to my grandparents and they went apeshit
Los años ochentas fue sin duda, donde los grandes artistas dejaron un legado para la humanidad; Saludos desde Ica 🇵🇪....!!!
@@matthewgrunow6760 reintroduced? Haha, cool. Gonna shoot my old man a link to this and see if he recalls, sure he'll like it.
Who in 2024?
4, 3, 2, 1
Yo
I'm in 2030
Right here for Major Tom
Yo
41 years since this song & music video first debuted, who else is here in 2024?
Happy New Year!
Yooo🎉
sup!!
I listen to this everyday and it never gets old
here in 2024 brother
This is not song ....
This is timeless masterpiece
Bravo!
This is something unique, period.
This song is to the 80,s,what"crocodile rock"was to roller skating.
Yepp
I listen to this song every time:D
R.I.P Gale, the man was living life to the fullest
A real genius
For me the most devastating loss after watching him recording his video. Major Tom will always be Gale now 💕
Who?
@@cupxcak3119 he didn't deserve to die man...
@@entenfps3582 fully agree. From that moment onwards the series and Jesse kinda sucked for me. I really liked him and wanted him to have the best life with all his nerdy stuff ☺️
New Germany goal sound 🇩🇪❤️
Can't wait for it to be played!🇩🇪
Fiago what are you doing here 😂
1982 is new?
Breaking Bad
Major TOM IS WITH YOU GUYS
Found this song on a background to a post I was watching about the fake moon landing.
Was obsessed as soon as it hit my ears ❤
My grandpa is obsessed with this song and he’s 85 and he only knows Spanish but he says how this song is always and forever gonna be the best song
Porque narra una trágica aventura y tan solo una pequeña despedida a su querida esposa.
Maybe that’s the reazon!
Es q tu abuelo en el año q est tema salió tenia 42 años claroo tuvo q haberle encantado y todavia la recurrda 😍😊
That’s only cuz he hasn’t heard WAP
that's right........guess when this song was released.what a hit......that song was like an inspiration.
I am the 100 th like because this song is very underrated
R.I.P. Gale Boetticher, a real genius.
gale smashed this song
¿genius? Not so much. I mean, there was no reasoning, no deductions in those pages. To my eye, all this brilliance looks like nothing more than just simple rote copying… Probably of someone else's work

My dad was listening to this song when he was driving me home. I instantly fell in love with the song and used Shazam to find it. Now I can’t stop hitting the replay button!
Wow, exactly the same happenned to me
am i dumb or why didnt you ask your dad what the song was
Why not just ask your dad the name of the song
I love the song so much to the point I created a cover with an electronic synthesizer
Wait until you fnd out what the real story about it is.
This song contains one of best chorus hooks ever written and performed. Nearly 40 years on, I am using this to teach a new generation of students. The lyrics are simple and easily understood but there's an intriguing twist in the story. Thanks Peter.
Love it
I honestly think it’s an homage to Space Odyssey
@@kuznickic1 oddity
It totally iz
You can thank David for originating the story.
I am spanish speaker, can you help us with the meaning of this song?
For me is not easy to understand
BITTE TORHYMNE für die EM 2024❤🇩🇪🦅💪🏻
Woher kommt der ganze hype jetzt mit diesem song? Wieso soll es plötzlich die hymne werden?
Ne auf deutsch
@@wasabifilms.Ist einfach ein guter Song
@@wasabifilms. Vom Adidas Werbeclip
@@wasabifilms.Unteranderem weil Adidas diesen Song im Werbespot verwendet hat 👌🏽 also daher dieser Hype
My dad likes this song 🎶
I was leaving for work, the morning after learning of the passing of Charlie Dry, NASA Astronaut and Test Pilot, turned on the radio and this was the first song that came on. Fly high, Charlie.
This reminds me when MTV and VH1 used to play great music videos
Me too. I guess that shows how old we are 😎
I always lamented not being able to see that.
We bts now

Exactly I’ve not watched any music channels for years no interest anymore
I can't believe they actually went space just to film this music video.
@@lemonadehippie7861 whoooooosh
they must have had a big budget
Thank you kind sir
I know! right?
I didn't know that.
I'm here after watching Deutschland "83... Brilliant series 👌
Totally brilliant series, loved it !
Clásico del año 1983.
Y sigue sonando en 2024. ❤

Un minuto de silencio para los que todavía no encuentran está joya de canción.😌🎵🎶

Fue un rollo hermano saludos

He’s waited his entire life for this day. Happy 4/3/21 Mr. Schilling!!!
Hats off to you...
Sorry to be that guy but whappened on 4/3/21?
Oh wait never mind
I figured it out
I wonder how long you waited to be able to post this 🤣
This was #1 hit here in Canada🇨🇦 back in 1983 and even today you will always here it on the radio. Classic.
Nr1 in Canada is great and rare for a German singer. Did not know that, thanks for the info.
Metal head here I love it draws me out
That shows that Canadians know great music!
You gotta try it in german its actually a German song and it was also released in English but the German one sounds even better
You never hear this Song on Canadian Radio for at least the Last 2 Decades. prove me wrong Please.!!!
deserve a like , dont ya think ???
This song makes me want to design a secret underground superlab.
That's, Blinded Me With Science...be quiet, Millennial. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Ohh I already have😉
indeed
@@yucansuckadee8930 first... I'm definitely NOT a millennial. Second... Major Tom is the Song most associated with Gale Botticher in Breaking Bad from the cringe karaoke video Hank finds in his belongings. Blinded Me With Science shows up later in Better Call Saul.
Team up?
80's songs...
So recognizable but so unique, truly a golden era for the music industry.
hell yeah even the like the mainstream stufds better than alot of the music of my generation in all geners
Undoubtedly. We lived it.
70s-90s is pretty good some early- even mid 2000s are good. If you want any of the “good stuff” today , you kind of have to look at smaller music creators.
Before internet, when we got "energy drinks" from Jolt Cola, McDonald's frys were the ultimate junk snack, we could actually shop at a dedicated music store and a pager was how you beeped someone in need! The pre dawn to the fuckery era ! Long love the 80's !!
@@nicholasbrooks7349 60s are best though.
Time stood still for this classic. I will never get tired of this song.
Same here
Shiny Toy Guns version is amazing too!
ME ETHER!
Peter Schilling hit a home run with this classic. Still evergreen today.
The bass tone in this song is just incredible.
@@ELIZABeth360 Monke
it is. do you know what Bass? Could be a Jazz Bass
perfection
@@SB-mb8fx it sounds specifically like a Steinberger to my ears.
The sound design in the chorus is truly stellar.
Interstellar!
you beat me to it... @@TheProfessorsWorld
It's 2024 and still cannot get over this song such a splendid masterpiece!
Así es es una gran canción
Splendid song Indeed.
One of the great underrated songs !
One of the most satisfying choruses in all of modern pop tunery. Very Moody Bluesish. Top notch.
Tll ok yn
And what a great outro.
You are so right.
I love the beat- I was listening to in the car and I wanted to sing but my one of my siblings were sleeping.
I used to love this song on my dad's stereo a long time ago
DUDE THE CHORUS OF THIS SONG IS UNDESCRIPTIBLE. I'm in love.
The moment I heard the intro and saw pogo flipping switches, that scene is burned into my brain how well done it is.
love the profile picture
Yeah that's why I Shazamed it lmao
Born To The Night by Ava Max was co-written by Peter Schilling and they sampled this song. The melody & chorus are very similar.
for real i wish the chorus was longer
Hard to believe this song is over 40 years old now. I'm feeling ancient as I listen to this.

I was a child when I listened to this song. It took me 38 years to find it. It's still more convincing than many songs in the last decade. Big up! Xx

The rest of the world celebrated on March 4 :D
I was too spaced out to notice earlier
Best refrain ever
This song is in my memory! It is such a pleasure to hear again! This is so good! Thank you Peter Shcilling!
My mom and I sing to this song every time it comes on the radio, it makes me think of a person trapped in space and can not return home to their life on Earth and their family. My mom and I belt out the chorus "4,3,2,1 EARTH BELOW US DRIFTING FALLING FLOATING WEIGHTLESS, CALLING CALLING HOME!"
you go with your bad self! keep on singing! RIGHT ON!😃
I always thought of it as he did return to earth since the last part is coming home instead of calling home.
This song by the way is based off of a song by David Bowie called Space Oddity.
Long live the 80s. The absolute best decade ever
I finally found this song I was looking for this so long
The '50's....
yes the best decade .
Ronald Reagan
Yep, 80s by far the best, sorry for those who didnt get to live it!
This song always gives a euphoric feeling😮
Same thing!. I always listen to this song when I’m on my way to hit the gym 💪🏻
Chico de 17 años escuchando esta joya
How can you not love this song?!
Love it cause duetchland
This has always been one of my favorite songs. It inspires sadness, loneliness and hope. It's just so perfect.
I agree, it's perfect
Yes. The loneliness is so gripping and the spectral of death waiting patiently, drooling imperceptibly; just in case.
If that ain't the truth nicola and robert
The end of this song is real tear jerking to mee
@@funkysawmanwright5077 it's absolutely haunting...
I'm here because a man in a red leotard drove by our house party at 2AM in a golf cart blasting this song. 9 years ago.
Everyone stepped outside and didn't know what to do. We all just drank our beers and watched him drive by.
Godspeed leotard man. I think about you so much.
a true legend
I love humanity
That's actually pretty inspiring
Love it!
That is epic
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.
Story of my life being the middle child LOL
41 years later and I still love this song... "4,3,2,1... Earth below us... Drifting falling... Floating weightless... Coming, coming home..." 👍👍👍👍
I can't get enough of this song.
Not me either its soo amazing!!
Ditto, kinda like Dancing in the Moonlight
@Emma Maina lmao came from umbrella too
I've still got the vinyl.
Try the german Version its even better
Still one of the most beautiful songs ever.
I agree.
Even touching to my heart.
Just the chorus part.
The chorus is one of the best I’ve ever heard
you're one of the most beautiful songs ever.
@@ashroyer03 yea it's so beautiful I love it
This is the exact moment Peter Schilling becomes Major Tom. Bravo Vince!
The 80's were the absolute best. I wish I could go back in time and relive my childhood 🙏
you got that right!😃😍
A minute of silence for those who have not yet found this gem of a song.
Just recently discovered this gem randomly being played on radio. Thank you Shazam !
Coming from “breaking bad”
This was my most played video on TH-cam 2022
I found this for a FB video ... finally!!
Comment copied from user ANAID CARI.
Whose here lucky enough to hear this in the 80's? Songs from that decade are just like this song...out of this world.
I was in high school when this was released.
I was in the sccoll.... I was 17 yeard old....
I’m grateful for Umbrella Academy for introducing me to this song 🙌🏼😍 (Wasn’t born til the 90’s)
I was 13 when it came out
It was on the radio of course, but the only specific time I remember is watching this on "Friday Night Videos".
My son and I were jamming this song with my father in law the day before he died unexpectedly 😢
Now every time I hear this song I imagine him going home 😢😢
My son has named this pop pop song
I'm 35 years old, it's the first time I've heard this song, incredible.
Yo tengo 26 años y la escucho desde niña
Now listen to Space Oddity from David Bowie which is the song that inspired this german singer.
Y ya escuchaste Space Oddity de David Bowie? fué la canción que inspiró a este cantante alemán.@@valeriavb8133
I'm 43, and heard it in snippets in the past, but could never catch who it was etc. Captured it today via a link!
Just keep listening to the classics!
This song is dripping in 80's-ness, just... perfectly.
Couldn't say it better
I am here because I remember listening to this in the 80s.
remembering anything from the 80s is an achievement, or am I thinking of the 70s?
Same and the sheet music just backed available in my piano lessons app. So I’m playing it now as well though sadly I remember the original release of the song.
I am here because I was a teenager watching MTV in 1983.
Ground control to Major Tom by Bowie, is my Fav. Also, Everyone’s gone to the moon by ‘ Johnathon King.” Fabulous, never gets old, especially with a “ Mars Landing” now!! 👍🏻🤗🇬🇧🇨🇦
@@henrypaleveda7760 They were all great, even beyond that! Music is the soul! 👍🏻❤️
Peter Schilling turned 30 years old on the Day of the tragic Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. This video reminds now me of that sad day. Almost 38 years have gone by.
This song is spiritual.
This chorus makes me feel like I'm weightless. Brilliant stuff!
"We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low" =)
This chourus is takiing off to infinity caliing hoooooooome, hoooooooooooome ,hooooooooome , thats music !
Mmm
Verdade
If you listen to the German version you will get that feeling even more
Llevo buscando esta canción desde hace 23 años... al fin me sé su nombre para oírla cuando quiera!

Excelente 😍😃👍💯
No sé de que país seas pero aquí en México se hizo muy famosa en los 80's. Que bien que la encontraste.
One day I was driving home from a 4 hour trip at 1am in the morning while this song was playing. This song hits hard when you really want to be home

100%. 80s music is the music Gen X loves the most. They always want to say that Nirvana and grunge is Gen X music, but they are wrong. They always get Gen X wrong.
Hell yeah! I’m 24 years old (older gen Z) and I’m right there with you
me too

Love the song and the video. AWSOME 80's music! I grew up this kind of music. i still love it!
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...
I loved tis song. Had completely forgotten about it. I was just watching episode of The Black List and heard it. Paused the show now this is in my saved list. Ah the memories I was 12.
Umbrella academy?
Yes

I will never get bored of this song. ever.
Me neither!👍🏻🎇🌌🌃
I heard this today coming from my 17 year old daughter’s room.Great music standing the test of time x
Thats so cool. I was 12 when this song came out.
Probably from Umbrella Academy Pogo scene
La escuche en una película y no me acordaba ni de Peter Schilling ni de Major Tom...la busqué a lo tonto como "Four Three ..." y me salió de primera...Que grande los 80's y 90's y que grande Peter
I was in college in the early to mid 80s and have fond memories of this song. Circa 1983 there was so much competition on the top 40 charts that Major Tom was not fully appreciated until years later. Great song and excellent video.
I don't know why, but the lines, "This is my home, I'm coming home" feel like a rebellious anthem for life.
He sings about his real home which is the Space and not the planet Earth
El lugar donde todos regresamos cuando morimos, o sea nuestro hogar original como parte de una sola energia universal.
I remember seeing/hearing this song on MTV. Not an album but the single/video. What an incredibly infectious song. The 80’s had buttloads of crazy, catchy singles. And I’m a 70’s dude.
I'm from that Mtv era I was like in junior high and high school when Mtv was all about music, I'll always jam to my old school music ☺️🙌💕
Esta. Cancion. Me. Recuerda. La. Tragedia. Del. Trasbordador. Espacial Challenger
MTV IN THE 80S ❤STRAIGHT MUSIC NOT LIKE THE JUNK TODAY.....
This is an ode to never being able to go home again. Couched in a 60's vibe, but it's as true today as when it was written. The past is a written book, you can never go back, as much as you might want to.
Teen in the eighties. Saw the first MTV broadcast at a friend's house.
Love them synths!!

I can put this on repeat loop and listen for hours. Not many songs can do this for me.
true...i did the same
Yes me to
ROGER THAT,,,,watch my big brother Mikey on my channel someday,,,kudos only please
If you love this one, listen to some of his other songs, like The Different Story or Terra Titanic, Ich Vermisse Dich/All the Love I Need. It's VERY hard to pick a favorite!
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.
Massively underrated. Such a great song
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...
Dont be sad to be 57, I listen to new wave every day and try to get into the vibe that was it in the 80s
I get this 100% because I was a new wave punk in the 80's. 54 now! LOL
Ich mag das Lied. Es erinnert mich an bessere Zeiten.
E irrepetibles. Fuimos afortunados
Listening to the hook during midnight watching the stars makes me feel like I can achieve anything and make every dream reality.
This was 21 hours ago ur comment most are a year ago-
Well said 🤗
I wish I could watch those stars with you, I feel the EXACT same way. I sometimes listen to this and look at the stars from my little apartment window in the city.
I love this comment
Wanted to make a dumb joke, but yeah we're all looking at that same beautiful night sky.
something about the sound this song possess just hits different. my dad used to play this song all the time when i was younger and i’ve always been drawn to it. i wish songs were made like this nowadays
04/03/21
Gonna be a big day tomorrow. Countdown has started!
Sir, this is called nostalgia. You have a long term memory stored in your mind of the song. When you hear it, it activates all kinds of receptors in your brain (positive emotions, associations, other linked memories) and that's why you feel so much emotions listening to it. If you were a child today and your dad played you "imagine dragons", it would also hit different 40 years from now. Just saying, it's nostalgia.
Me too
Same I searched for this song cause my dad played it all the time and it popped into my head again
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.
Great song gets ya going cup of coffee an sunrise 👍🎵😁
And here I am, back again. Smiling ear to ear. This song reminds me that I still dream, at least for a moment.
Not even born in the 80's. But these 80's songs. Why do they sound so amazing?
Music was less cookie cut and was aloud to be experimental
Same here. Modern music sucks
Yo mate, music sounded better in the eighties because it was made by musicians and not data analysts.
Synthesizers
We all thought we were going to die at any moment, we were ALL IN with everything we did.
The dreamy futuristic 80s vibes I am getting from this song are the best.
So, Even J.C Denton listens to this in 2050
Yup
Hear my big brother Mikey on my channel someday,,,kudos only
Temazooo 💃♥️♥️♥️ lo mejor de los 80
The way the song starts out of time and then flips back in time for the chorus is pure madness. And genius.
Not only is this song timeless and amazing but the video is just as fantastic.
Hi I recommend a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
agree 100%!
man you're timeless and amazing and just as fantastic!
"Timeless." Forever.❤️
that chorus is amazing
Timeless magic . . .
What else can one say.
I remember when this song debuted in all the underground clubs in NYC. It has the same effect now as it did back then.
*Genius is timeless.*
