Song challenge day 18

A song from the year you were born

This song is one of the songs that made 'Neue Deutsche Welle' (NDW) so popular (along with THAT Nena song) that ultimately it got worse and worse until it was a fully commercialised breeding ground for modern Schlager which itself was so bad it drove German language pop music into obscurity for almost a decade.

The tune is actually from '82 but my mom swears that I always started moving in the womb when the song was on the radio, and even as a toddler stopped everything I did the moment the chorus came on.

A fact about me that has not changed to this day.

Doch nicht tot 😉😅:

Unten trauern noch die Egoisten,
➡️ #MajorTom denkt sich
wenn die wüssten,
mich führt hier ein Licht durch das All,
das kennt ihr noch nicht - ich komme bald. Mir wird kalt.

Völlig. Losgelöst. https://t.co/a5fDQwd43n

DAVID BOWIE
Space Oddity / Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud
1969 UK MONO 7” single. #45rpm

The absolute CROWN JEWEL find from my #45s dig today. This single sounds amazing, and it’s in IMMACULATE shape.
Sometimes, you just get lucky.
The song that birthed a legend.

Heute erstmals »Ashes to Ashes« von #DavidBowie gehört,¹ und jetzt steht mir der Mund offen. Geht's dir gut, #MajorTom?

¹ Also vielleicht lief das das ein oder andere mal schon, aber jetzt habe ich erstmals auf den Text geachtet und die Bilder im Video genossen.

So to summarise: #ClimateChange and #BiodiversityCrisis are difficult to fight because they require long-term policies.
#Pandemics are difficult to mitigate because they happen now.

And worst, everything is linked to #OneHealth the combination of everything impact our health.

Will someone "in control" be smart enough to produce a short and long term policy?
#MajorTom

I worry about all the data I give out that should not be made public, it's my freedom of thought.

Apps are sensors of my thoughts, the music I listen to, my interactions, where I am, my heart rate, how far I am from my phone, how long I sleep, how "focused" I am on my work, my interests, how sick I am, my fart frequency.

When we talk about #FreedomOfExpression we don't realise how much mental privacy we have left in the hands of vultures. Uncontrolled.

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom
(ten, nine, eight, seven, six)
Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three, two)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you (one, lift off)

@PaulLev This on the other hand I know should qualify for #space at least.

Schilling has a #MajorTom also in German, and Terra Titanic for another song title spotted.

Shiny Toy Guns has a version of that as well I see.
