This is such a great song....

One of the best songs of all time.

I love that crazy bagpipe collision in the middle of the song. Very inventive alternative to the standard (and expected) guitar solo.

do you know song of six by seven "iou love"? this song are v.v. similar...anyway, i like both! :)

have good, get give

baby arm

Anyone else hear the Bowie's Space Oddity in the opening?

Plus the whole Milky Way thing. Not sure if it's deliberate, but the influence is there.

Great song, but favourite on this album is 'Destination'. Wonder if that ever get's played?

Also, saw them open up for Peter Murphy in Tampa. Fun show.

I like this song as much now as I did then. That must count for something ...

Note: Current Artist Website Link points to the "Church of Satan" for anyone interested. They're looking for a few outstanding individuals ... Yikes!

Sitting here, working on reading and analyzing Jack Kerouac's 1950's novel "On The Road," at 1:30 am---well, it seems this song is even more fitting and prophetic than it might otherwise be right now.

...wish I knew what you were looking for,
might have known what you would find

Love how this (and other songs) are used in Donnie Darko. Really brings out the meaning.

Boy I liked this song when it came out. Hey...wait a second...I still like it!

If you like the bagpipes in this song -- you should listen to the cover by Seven Nations on the album "Big Dog" with Neil Anderson piping (before he left the band). Someone has uploaded some other songs by Seven Nations, perhaps that person could upload the Seven Nations version.

There's a man in Norway who showed me the Northern Lights when this song was a big hit. This song will always remind me of him.

Ironically, this song came out at a time when we started Star gazing... A 9.

...wish I knew what you were looking for,
might have known what you would find

one of my all time favorites.

Had the vinyl album in the late 80s but don't have the CD.... don't think I've heard it since those days. Great song from a very good album... thanks to whoever uploaded it.

A good song, but for my money...play "Ripple". Even moodier!

Check out the Donnie Darko fan-site - The Cellar Door - much easier to navigate than the official site and has great info.

Best Church song!

This song was EVERYWHERE in the 80's. Well...maybe not "Thriller" everywhere, but still...I can't imagine missing it entirely.

As stated here in the earlier posts, this might bring certain movie, Donnie Darko, into a mind... this song elevated atmosphere of the strange and exiting movie such a great way.... as the whole soundtrack did. Sorry for categorizations, but "shame" to admit, that "teenager pop" combined into great theme might turn around even old-school or art-school strict music taste for some particular songs. (so for example, i'm basically a drooling Pavlov dog what comes to this song and whole soundtrack ). Well, this is a good song also in the merits of it's own...

exactly how i feel and what i wanted to say

I DJ'd college radio back in the late 80's early 90's from about a 5 watt station, this song always got play......One of my favorites.

Somehow I missed this in the 80s, but Donnie Darko introduced it to me and it is a classic now, I think. Fucking brilliant. And I love the way the tape speeds up for the sax solo. Also a great moment in the movie.

I always listen to this tune when i 'm running and man, do i get the feeling then , that i'm running real fast.

Great tune!

First listen of a forgotten treasure. Bravo. Great tune. Wasn't a good year for me, 88, seems I missed it.

sounds too much like peter murphy -- who is pretty cool I guess...so okay. Whatever.
