[LongJohnBone]

völlig losgelöst, von der Erde, schwebt das Raumschiff, völlig schwerelos

[hotelmario510]

HOLY CRAP, this song is better in German!

[justlstn]

[minimalista242]

start = der mussolini

[200twistatwista]

Awesome BMW at the very start : P

Dieses Lied Ist hammer toll Geil lied : P

Super super gut lied : P

Hammer!! : o

[TheMaidenBlackRoses]

That's german pplz

He's really good I can tell you that

Sad to say but better than Sisely Treasure who sings it in Shiny Toy Guns

She's bad live

[EmbodiedDespair]

For some reason, the vocal track sounds like it was mixed way better on the german version. The english version sounds really "dry" during the verses and the echo is really saturated on the chorus... or is it just me?

[naterv11]

sounds awesome in german

[lisadawnsmith]

I heard at the begining someone putting on the "LP" that is classic!

[Siegershuyy]

sotag und nacht träume ich davon dass sich jemnd findet der mich vor meiner langweile erlöst^^

[wingsofademon1]

This song is even more awesome in German :D and its even better cuz at the beggining of the Video it says FoFo's welt.... its cool cuz thts actually my nickname hahahahahahah xD

[guessingmac11]

Maybe you should SHUT YOUR GODDAMN mouth Tripp53 you SON OF A BITCH!!!!!!

[xxxabc123xx]

the whole song should be the chorus lol

[theouterplanet]

i love the vinyl sound

[elpequeno05]

i love this f..... song

[guessingmac11]

I will never die.,

[romeoandjuliet1968]

This song bums me out. Seriously, it makes me want to cry. I could literally get a call saying I've gotten a lead in a movie, and then listen to this song, and the smile would be wiped off my face. He's stuck in space, that just...ruins me, I guess. It bugs me, it bums me out, it's so sad.

[Tripp53]

@romeoandjuliet1968 He seems to accept it, saying "this is his home".

Maybe he would find a better life in space then that of his past on earth.

However shortened it may be..

[voxvocisintra]

@Tripp53 That is exactly what this song is about. If you follow the lyrics closely, the ship is running perfectly and ready to go. Major Tom is the one not responding. He's going home, to the stars. =]

[GRINNGO1973]

-

Ein sehr schönes lied !

-

[aguilamm]

this song are really beautiful

[FoxEatFox]

I like the harmonies in this song :D

[amethyst0rain]

i have to admit, i like shiny toy guns' version better.

[titotrampas]

NOT ME, THIS IS BETTER

[ozzyt9]

Adam K & Soha - Major Tom (Remix) is better than the original track

[NoRThClAy32]

i always hear this song in the mall.....lol idk y. its always on when im there and i never knew what it was called

[Frosty2211]

i think this song has a better sound to it in german...however they are both great songs....

[UnMindedThinker]

This song, i listen to on repeat.

[tomterahedrob]

[1Clouderon1]

This song, no matter what language...is AMAZING.

[wikiwikiwack]

[Zilartaurideus]

Ich bevorzuge diese Lied in Deutsch als Englisch-version, weil es klingt wunderbar, Freiheit und stärker

Me gusta más esta canción en alemán que en inglés porque es más libre, poderosa y sublime

Grüße aus Mexiko

[nasenberti]

[LeganLint]

[MadroschkaSU]

heritage is written with one "R"

[x5dna]

...because of how he stresses certain words ... said he knows "basic English" ...

1) Major Tom (Völlig losgelöst) [completely released]

2) Major Tom (Coming Home)

whatever ^^

[Bufa491us]

will this answer everybodys question?

Peter Schilling

Born: 1956

Birthplace: Stuttgart, Germany

Race: White

Orrientation: Straight

yes it is German...there is also an English verision...this is the german one, i didn't need info though...im german, i speak german

[ripley244]

great song! Believe it or not I have it on cassette tape. A mix tape....it sounds so great singing in the tub with headphones on and 4, 3 2, 1 reverberating off the tiles!

I had heard that P.S. does not know English all that well, and learned this song in English...hence the perfect enunciation

[PrettyBlueFairy]

I talked to a fan of his on some website and she had a feeling that he was "parroting" because of how he stresses certain words or something. I believe another fan said he knows "basic English" and I think I read somewhere that he felt more at home with the German language

[LeganLint]

Of course he feels more at home with the german language, as he is german!

[Linkin0789]

he is a german!! xDDD

[dippyegg97]

love dis song xD

[meyrozerox]

buena cancion

[benudelt]

its german what i say as a german

theres also an english version by him

[kladph99]

its german -.-' i'm sure....

[anhell1910]

He's from munich Alemania... And that ISN'T Old english... is german

[anhell1910]

well it sounds like german xD also the name is German there's not too much Schilling in USA

[rockanrrolo]

Lo bueno de escucharla es que ahora se como se pronuncia en alemán el cuatro, tres, dos y uno...

[peugeotrider2012]

Love this song

[lilmegirl]

oooh yeaaAH!!

[gusgmc2009]

excelente uno mas de los años 80

[didusaywat19]

i would love to learn how to sing this in german. german is one of me faves. this remines me of the wildboyz episode when there on the vomit commit in russia!

[BoustroBistro]

@didusaywat19  Before trying to learn any German, maybe you should focus on English a bit more. Remines? Commit != comet.

[booombenbraut]

einer meiner lieblings-ndw-songs

[xeniestra]

ist der beste Song von peter schilling

[gabyta610]

si megusto mucho

tengo un disco pero ya no sirve

[natimaric]

Habe auch eine Schallplatte mit diesem Lied :-)

[IamSakuraHearMeRoar]

Wow. I really love this song... its really old... vinyl. (good times) ^^ You all should check out the Shiny Toys guns version... it rocks.

[DJHarryDoyle]

Das war meine erste Schallplatte, die ich als Kind bekommen hab. Die wird bis heute in Ehren gehalten.....

[flohockey]

das war mal ein knaller aber ich pesönlich steh noch immer drauf

[QueenLucyThe2nd]

this song is so awesome lol... heard this version on the radio a few weeks back =P I think, actually >.> a month or so ago...

[gabyta610]

i love this song i like

[0SumProductions]

I love the Engrish!

[choqr]

i love really anglisch, a of variety english

jaja

it really doesn't care, does it?

if you understand it, is enough

pd:j'aime las "linguas romaces"

good bay (XD Engrish rox)

[IamSakuraHearMeRoar]

i totally agree man... (so true, so true)

[contrawade]

I wouldn't consider English a romance language haha.

[cm2dude]

Neither English or German or the Urgo-Finnic/Scandinavian languages are romance languages...

English is a Germanic language, but is more closely related to old norse than any other language.

[BlitzoftheReich]

it has many romance words in it however cuz it mixed with french a bit

[cm2dude]

Well, yes... It is Old English mixed with a little bit of celtic influences, and Norman (Northern France)

[bardottt]

Actually, the closest lenguage to Old Norse is Icelandic.

Greetings from a Philologer

[20UFC93]

I got french mates, and they all say English is sexy. Weird, sounds like crap to me xD

[DrunKao]

maybe because of Hollywood (American) influence?

[omniexistus]

Damn, I love this song!

[peugeotrider2012]

Is he still touring?This was a great song of the 80s long live the 80s

[KaityKat10]

luv this song

[kevin05]

why is there no enlish original version on youtube without remixes or reverses

[laylisbonita]

i love this song

[Linerwood2000]

Bowie (space oddity) and Schilling are both Major Tom

[ladymuckefuck]

Bowie is really wrong. Major Tom is no junkie, You know!!!°°

[Linerwood2000]

Bowie has never mentionned Major Tom was. You know the song, Space Oddity?

[Linerwood2000]

If you're refering to the protein pills, ill give you that hehe

[ladymuckefuck]

Bowie has done it in "Ashes to Ashes". I like Bowie very much, but Major Tom more. He is a personal friend of mine and like only nature products. To be a nature junkie is okay!!!°°

[Linerwood2000]

Ashes to Ashes,,,, "you know major tom's a jun..." umm maybe Bowie's Major Tom is Iggy Pop? :P

Nevertheless, glad YOUR Major Tom's fine and healthy, that's how you do it.

[ladymuckefuck]

Iggy Pop and Bowie are very similar and friends long time ago, but not still now . Iggy is not Major Tom. His identity is a secret. Iggy Pop is more artisan and only insiders still know him. Bowie is more comercial. My favorite songs from Iggy are Winners & Loosers and Cry for love;*)

[Kyleharr]

by 1980's "Ashes to Ashes" Bowie reinterprets Major Tom as an oblique autobiographical symbol for himself. Major Tom is described as a "junkie, strung out in heaven's high, hitting an all-time low". This lyric was interpreted as a play on the title of Bowie's 1977 album Low, which charted his withdrawal inwards following his drug excesses in America a short time before, another reversal of Major Tom's original withdrawal 'outwards' or towards space.

And there you have it.

[toddnjane]

first heard this in 83,a german kid moved here and had it on tape,took me 25 years to find a copy,on album gmbh...check out dof codo and ideal if you like the ndw......

[peugeotrider2012]

What verison is this

[ladymuckefuck]

First version!!!

Schilling is Major Tom. Now, I understand. You know???

[ChrisElm]

this is awesome

[seanhewitt1]

[rosaliegirl91]

Ofcourse its better than english! <3

[gamuzi]

The original version of no metter what is always better! (:

[rosaliegirl91]

oh i know!

[alexjandro008]

wow esa rola la estaba buscando desde hace bastante tiempo... la escuchaba aquí en México en Mix 106.5 Fm y ya la tengo me encanta...

[luchiriasis]

el 13 de octubre de 1991

un niño llamado nick se tiro de un puente devido a problemas familiares

si ya leiste esto deves copiar y pegar

en otros 5 videos mas o si no

nick vendra por toda tu familia

haslo o moriran porfavor haceme caso

yo lo lei y lo hice

[ibstephie2]

Nice but the English version is much better.

[1337Walrus]

better than english.

[zekal10]

Peter Schilling is my father and sings me German ballads every evening. Furthermore, these fishsticks are hard as sticks.

[InnerRise]

Someone ought to tell your father to stop impersonating Peter Schilling then. He's confusing you. :(

[zekal10]

haha, I meant hard as tits. SHIT!!

[Planabcd]

dude wheres his english version

[SnowWhiteQueen29]

I found one..but it's a remix. =(

[zuluamuse]

Still prefer the English version though!

[drakkarolay]

ahahahaha maybe a little

[finefilth]

LOL!

[bachsboy77]

Does anybody have the lyrics for this song

[ibstephie2]

You can get the lyrics. Just google it. This is what you type.

Peter Shilling Major Tom lyrics

I would guess you can get the lyrics in English or German.

[ScifiAngel74]

In order of importance

Yes I like fishsticks.

German version game first.

Yes he is singing.

Major Tom is still alive.

This is the ablbum cover.

[InnerRise]

Haha. Thanks very much for answering all of my questions. That rarely happens.

I feel bad now because that fishstick question was a South Park reference. It's part of a joke where if the person says they like fish sticks, then the other person says, "You like putting fishsticks in your mouth? Then you're a Gay Fish."

Because it's a play on words that I don't think I need to type out. But since you were so nice I won't do that to you. Enjoy your fishsticks. You deserve them. =)

[peugeotrider2012]

MTV used to rock now it's went to shit.

[inmate4077]

In the 1990's, Mtv went to "N"tv.

[Gmancrap]

Raciest man. not cool

[BlaqkAVA]

Amen to that!

[yazoo4ever]

classic 80's song =] sweet!!!

[autumncornsilk]

Wow! Never heard it in German... I'm 58 -Strange, makes me dance in ANY language! Danke!
