    I lost my wife and children to cocain addiction. I wasn't strong enough to fight for them. I lost everything i ever loved because of ptsd and was too weak to fight, to blind to see & too deaf go listen. Im free of the demon now but ive never felt so alone, so without purpose, so utterly hopeless. This song has always rang true. I love you mrs b, William & ollie .

  • @siphonophores
    @siphonophores 9 місяців тому +2

    Used this song for a tribute video on my dad's 1st death anniversary. Literally crying like a wimp, reminiscing the days he would take a daily 2 hour ride to work and another 2 back, making it back in time to spare some time with his family and bring food on the table. He sacrificed alot of his time working his a$$ off for the family and tries his best not to miss my childhood. A man with consistency he was, but not always as there are times where he had to move jobs for better pay, different scheds where I rarely see him anymore but still would make up for it by inviting me to the movies whenever he's free. Still missing him to this day.

    I'm only starting to be able to listen to this song without crying again. This was My grandma's favorite song, and every Saturday she would play it when she got our of the shower at 10am and woke me up. I can still smell the fresh shower steam and her shampoo. Unfortunately she's a narcissist and I haven't seen her in a year. We used to share the same bed and listen to rock together when she was sober though, the good in her was really my best friend. And I miss that good side of her I thought I knew.

    This song always made me sad many years ago...my father would travel out of state, and on some occasions, outside of the country. Sometimes this song pops up in my head when my father's overseas in some far-off country (for instance, in 2012, he was in Korea during the Holiday season and wasn't able to make it home for Christmas). However, at this day and age, my father isn't traveling outside the state or outside of the country for work, mostly due to this horrible pandemic. He has a job close to home, namely somewhere in Rochester, New York.

    The words are wrong in one part, specifically where it says "Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone." Should be, and listen very closely "Rocket man, burning DOWN his fuse OUT THERE alone." Fantastic song, as all of his songs are.

    Always brings back memories of Perry 51ms party one block away from Kim's when I did the music for his party and her parents wouldn't let her attend. I kept playing this every 4th -5th song for her because I knew she loved it and could hear the music.

      @michaelbarcus7011 5 років тому

      Kati Casey your right. It's just a shame that there weren't platforms such as The Voice or American Idol back in those days to launch Shattners singing career. He would have dominated the competition.

    She packed my bags last night pre-flight
    Zero hour 9:00 a.m.
    And I'm gonna be high
    As a kite by then
    I miss the Earth so much I miss my wife
    It's lonely out in space
    On such a timeless flight
    And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
    'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
    I'm not the man they think I am at home
    Oh, no, no, no
    I'm a rocket man
    Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone

    I'm not the man they think I am at home
    Oh, no, no, no
    I'm a rocket man
    Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
    Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
    In fact it's cold as hell
    And there's no one there to raise them
    If you did
    And all this science
    I don't understand
    It's just my job five days a week
    A rocket man
    A rocket man
    And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
    'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
    I'm not the man they think I am at home

    Years ago I pulled up beside a motorcycle in myrtle beach and the guy had this song playing on the bike. I was heading out to return home, the weather was perfect and that guy looked so free and enjoying his ride by the ocean. One of my goals is to do the exact same, one of the most peaceful situations I've seen. Every time I hear this song I relive that moment.

    Dear Karen.
    That's how it starts. I've been thinking about us. That's us with a capital "U".
    The story of us.
    How the fuck do I sum it up?
    Has it been perfect?
    Hardly.
    Any story with me at the center of it will never be anything less than a big, smiling mess. But here's what I know for sure. Our time in the sun has been a thing of absolute fucking beauty. The nightmares, the hangovers, the fucking and the punching, the gorgeous, shimmering insanity of this city of ours, where for years I woke up, fucked up, said I was sorry, passed out, and did it all over again.
    As a writer, I'm a sucker for happy endings. The guy gets the girl. She saves him from himself... fade to fucking black. As a guy who loves a girl, I realize there's no such thing. There's no sunset. There's just now, and there's just the two of us, which can be scary fucking ugly sometimes. But if you close your eyes and listen for the whisper of your heart, if you simply keep trying and never, ever give up, no matter how many times you get it wrong, until the beginning and end blur into something called 'until we meet again'.
    And that's... that's it. I... I didn't know how to finish it...
    Because it's not over.
    It'll never be over as long as there's you, there's me, and there's hope... and grace.
