Children of the Sun

[frisbeejim]

Great pictures with this song!

Suggestion: listen to this song on good headphones, eyes closed, and around the 4:00 mark, you may feel a bit like you are floating toward a hot place in space.

Or maybe that was just my state of mind in 1980 when I first heard it.

[lumpycupcake94]

I just heard this for the first time... I feel like I've been deprived of the best song ever for the last 16 years.

[michele69145]

One of my all time favorites. A great sound system IS required for this song.Thanks Billy

[dahughes44]

what a great look-back to the time of my younger days.....very nice. Thank You for the trip.......

[MrLatour48]

he sucks one hit wonder loser .....

[gillman55]

it rocks

[GuyinCa]

They played this at a Laserium I went to, and the guys sitting in front of me were totally frying on acid. This song is still a space age mind trip anyway, and I will always love this! R.I.P Billy. "With the children of the sun, he's started to climb"

[EmpireTower]

Anyone notice Venus was spinning in the wrong direction LOL

[radioheadkids2]

4:13 love that guitar... @RupertMurderer excellent EVERYTHING!

PEACE, always

[peppermint383]

I hear this and suddenly I'm 15 years old again, and all's right with the world.

[OpposableThumbsVideo]

Holes to Heaven...Jack Johnson. Ha! ha!

[StarManOKC]

Very good job!!

[Dickeymoe206]

[1966carp]

@Dickeymoe206 Yah it is. I keep comming back to see it and everytime i'm still amazed. W CEPHEI is 2 billion miles across, the earth is 10,000. dust in the wind

[lolley1000]

just waiting on this night to really happen

[ChrisGoldCoast]

great video haha Oh Yeah!.

[breemystic]

Even though I heard this long before I got to hear Steve, this always makes me think of Steve Hillage now.

[ISamuelII]

@breemystic I am the only one I know of that knew of any thing by Steve H. I can ask all kinds of questions like 'what is Steve,,,?' but that is what searching the net is for. I have a couple of his albums.

[breemystic]

@ISamuelII I first heard him on "The Young Ones", but I love his stuff..Electric Gypsy is still the best song ever.

[Lazerrus]

Jack Black needs to cover this!!

[MegaVeronicaLodge]

@Lazerrus Too funny :) I was thinkin' Judas Priest ~

Peace,

V

[FINRIR161]

@Lazerrus NO.....HELL NO ALL HED DO IS SCEW THIS UP AND TURN IT IN TO A BID PILE OF CRAP.TRUST ME I NO IVE HEARD HIS MUSIC.

[totaltranquility]

Great song, I almost forgot about it. Would you by chance have a way to see the video you loaded in a better format?

Thank you for this :)

[TheWhale55]

The first 30 seconds = Giygas? o.O

[ebonyeyes61]

I will never tire of this 'trippy' tune. : )~

[hobgoblinhobo313]

Once when I got abducted by aliens, I showed their leader this song and then they all praised me for one hundred lightyears until we crashed on planet Zigzwag and I used my awesome powers of the wah pedal and created a black hole that transported me back to earth.

[amybroders]

{{{{{{{{{{{3:33}}}}}}}}}

[styxorules]

[sara31tx]

[not2busy4]

[TheWeinerwoman]

BILLY THORPE---"CHILDREN OF THE SUN"

[ole9421]

Over at a friends house back in the day. He handed me a joint and said, "here take a couple hits off this." Then he handed me a pair of headphones and said, " put these on and listen to this." Holy shit was that ever an awesome listening experience!

[Carpx11]

@ole9421 A friend told me the the same thing happened to him many moons ago when i lived in Indiana. anyway thought it was a cool way to hear ithe song 4 the first time then and think it is cool to hear it again.

[DKeeganDavastar7]

@ole9421 Holy crap that's what I used to do to my bud's back in the day when this came out. This was an awesome song for stereo headphones. Used to love the way my friends head would duck back and forth during the beginning of this tune like the 'electric' zingers were gonna get him. LOLOLOL

[ole9421]

@DKeeganDavastar7 Ain't shared experiences wild?! Yep, my head was bobbing side to side during the intro too. Great, great tune - bum, bum da, da, bum, bum, PING! If the electronic "zingers" didn't get me the ping of that ride cymbal sure did. Not to mention the high-hat effects. An epic song that painted such a vivid picture - story. I can see it all happening in my minds eye everytime I listen to it.

[PromiserOfDeath]

Good song, Easy Lyrics good to sing along with! 5:59

Use this song to test how good your stereo system is....that is, if you still have one. An all-time classic!!

BILLY THORPE---"CHILDREN OF THE SUN"

[DeepSouthWrestling1]

I prefer chit'lins of the sun!!

[alvo69]

For a seventeen year old stoner, this was Aural Porn. Marantz Amplifier, Denon Turntable, 4 Infinity Speakers-suspended from the ceiling. QUADRAPHONIC SOUND BISHES!! Stand in the middle, close your eyes, tilt head back..... and that tearing sound was your head being ripped off !! RIP Billy Thorpe

[1962mikie]

@thefabulousbugman "any scientific space brother wanting to be THE CHILDRENS REVENGE that is..would do this-4 4000 watt loudspeakers for replay of this frequency and then route such a wise Theatre Spectre to an 3500 watt amplifier and then plug the effects modulator thus, raising the bar of possibility of the Lord JEHOVAH listening by bouncing these vibes off his throne and then listening to the Reply!!! ah!! and then when the cops and neghbors show up...tell them to meditate with you!!!!

[thefabulousbugman]

@1962mikie and the cops and neighbors would show up you bet you bet

[jimdunmire]

Great song....have not heard it in years because the charlotte radio stations are not very good at playing variety!

[slingblade33]

The Buzzard used to play this one periodically

[eps2467]

98.5 WNCX still plays it quite a bit,but, not as much as they used to.

[anitashelby]

Awesome Song & Video!!! 5*s Love this one very much! Thanks Jon for sharing..Hugs Anita

[aristacourt]

Billy Thorpe was a great music legend from Australia who passed away Feb 2007.Great to see in concert,who is so missed but fondly remembered.God bless him.

[PancakeManofDestiny]

Always thought this was Phil Collins, I guess you learn something new every day.

[sherriann666]
