about
This is Neil's 6th single and another song he wrote back in 1995 when he was at Uni in San Antonio, Texas. It is the second song to feature contributions from other musicians and was originally recorded in the Autumn of 1995 with some overdubs and editing added in February 2021.
Here we introduce the excellent lead guitar playing of Gio Casanova, backed by the superb rhythm section of Shawn Horne on bass guitar and Nicholas Soto on drums.
lyrics
Verse 1
All this talking and laughing it feels like I’m alone
I’ve got no one in this world to make me feel as one
It makes me sad
It makes me sad
Bridge 1
You land
Understand
I tried so hard
Chorus 1
Spaceman, taking me away
Spaceman, to a brighter day
Spaceman, taking me away
Spaceman, onto a brighter day
Verse 2
Now you’re talking it feels like the whole world’s gone insane
I’ve got someone to talk to, to purify my brain
It makes me laugh
You make me laugh
Bridge 2
You land
Understand
I tried so hard
Chorus 2
Spaceman, taking me away
Spaceman, onto a brighter day
Spaceman, I can’t hear what they say
Spaceman, taking me away
Break
Spaceman, spaceman, spaceman, spaceman
Chorus 3
Spaceman, taking me away
Spaceman, onto a brighter day
Spaceman, taking me away
Spaceman, onto a brighter day
