In Upplands Vasby, North of Stockholm, a seven-year-old Joakim Larsson, or Joey Tempest as he is known, began to discover the music of the 70s. However it was not hard rock and Deep Purple in the beginning.

Joey: I remember when I was very young, maybe in 1969 or 1970, I had a tape-recorder and I made recordings directly from TV.

So I was interested in music, I recorded and listened again to some 70’s festival or something like that, since there was not so much other music, and as soon as there was the sort of music that I wanted to listen to again, something that I liked.

One of the first singles that I got was Space Oddity with David Bowie and it inspired me a lot. What expression in the voice and what a production he had in this song. … (David Bowie singing “Take you protein pills and put your helmet on…”)

When I later wrote EUROPE songs, the song The Final Countdown on the third EUROPE album for example, there was a direct connection to that text. He was much into space travel and the space, The Final Countdown is also about the space and about leaving Earth…So I remember that the lyrics of TFC were inspired directly by Space Oddity. So that song had a very strong influence on me.

(David Bowie singing “This is ground control to major Tom, you've really made the grade, and the papers want to know whose shirts you wear, now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare ….”)
