The bassist is matthew bellamy's father, I saw it in an article

[NappaWesker]

@lensois5

his dad was the guitarist, not bassist

@sophiet09 Tell me about it! I'm 12 (What a shame, I have a youtube! I won't tell if you don't!) and all my mates (Ok, when I say mates I mean... You get it...) They all think I have the worst taste in music ever! Now, I think they may be getting mixed up... THEY have the worst taste in music ever! Lady GaGa? Rhianna? R&B? What does R&B mean these days? It used to have a good meaning, now it just means some person talking quickly into a microphone... XD

It is a satellite..the subject of the song. It is told through sounds and without words. It does give a feeling of motion through the melody. It was a novel thing to have a satellite above the Earth because I think there was one more satellite from Soviet Union called Sputnik in the sky when this song came out. To make a song call Sputnik has not a good sound so Telstar has much cooler sound for song name! I am not born for 25 years after this song come out but I LOVE all these songs so much!

if you take into account compound interest this might be one of the greatest songs ever, bc this was ahead of its time

[RhythmAddictedState]

Matt Bellamy! He's on the guitar, just like his father! :) <3

[GregDad100]

Greatest rock instrumental of all-time. Period.

And has nothing to do with salt flats or cheap horror movies. Just a geat tune for those who remember the early 60's (if you were there).

[DinoTuned]

49 years old and sounds as good as ever.

[studiosound211]

Just in case anyone is wondering, this song is about the world's first trans-Atlantic telephone communication satellite, AT&T's Telstar.

@sipodge They don't have bad taste. They have NO taste. Most people have no sense of aesthetics, so they just listen to whatever other people are listening to, and that's whatever is advertised and marketed. So they never listen to music that is more than a few years old because it isn't being marketed anymore.

[Ataru320]

Very surreal but awesome...sad it really isn't remembered these days considering what music has de-evolved into.
