I thought it was a good song back in the 90’s of that epic era of alternative rock but today, it sounds even better having aged like fine wine. It just reflects how musically dynamic and innovative the 90’s were. Will always be a 90’s kid.
@@alexjones7043 Funny enough, I didn't appreciate 90's music as much while growing up in that decade. It only became of significance for me after the 90's had passed. Yeah...I struggle with modern music today as well, all sounds the same.
There were only few aspects of 90's music that were absolutely great. Those being alternative music scene and rap scene. It was great experimentation time for metal/industrial and alot of legends came out of that era. Im forever stuck in it myself. Rap and Hip Hop were also top of the line during 90's but i think it became too successful for its own good and modern day rap is just mere shadow compared to what it was back then. That being said, pop/dance music coming out of 90's was pretty bad, it was like hollowed out husk compared to 80's. Those cheap synthesizer beats are the trademark for 90's pop! Ofcource, theres always exceptions but, it was mostly bad!
My best friend of over 30 years died last year ,she was my bridesmaid the year this came out ,she didn't like "pop" music but she liked this ,she was a ufologist ,I'm listening today because I miss her 😢
@@ursulaschlapbach311 Well, POP can be anything, because its an abbreviation for "POPular". Basically your Radio Top 40, that's POP music, because it's in the mainstream and therefore mostly popular. This song was played quite frequently on the radio, so, essentially it was pop music.

@@andyrainford5728 The original version was produced by a friend of mine - the band were music students at Salford (if I remember rightly) and he often did work in the studio they used. There is also a bit of keyboard on the track which he played. He never got a credit when it was released - the production credit went to the guy who did the silly speeded up thing (wrongly).
Is that where it was first hyped I can't remember? I remember everyone was buzzing about the tune to come out based off the synth. Then when it did everyone was like wtf.
Who remembers being middle school age during the summer weekdays bored .. plopped in front of the box and just being transported to another world every time this vid hit the screen… ah the days of getting to just exist. What freedom this song represents for many of us, I am sure. 👍🏻
So many fond memories of this song. My dad (god rest his soul) got me this, aged 4, on cassette and we used to blast it going down the Motorway to his house. Not heard it in years and it just popped into my head today!
I can remember both me and my sister being obsessed with this song when it came out! Our dad was never too keen on playing cassettes in the car we had got from asda when we had been out shopping!
For some reason this song came in my head. Just listening to it, I can remember sitting on the sofa in December 1995 watching the video on TOTP Saturday night. Good times!!
trying to change reality so we can get off this world. The song is really telling, as is the name of the band. Another banned The Kovenant released an album called Animatronic with a cover of this song on it, which is interesting because one of the other songs on there is New World Order. If you know for example an organisation like the Lucis Trust and which ideological concepts are behind the term New World Order as a new Cosmology, this song actually fits perfectly in that ideological context. A movement from a Christian world to a new one with endless worlds and beings in Outer Space. They're not lying about reality as some people state, they're trying to change it from an enclosed system to an open one. All they need is for humanity to truly believe it.
True love is to let someone go a place they will be happier. Even if you will never see them again. Sad to see you go friend, but I always wanted you to go, into space, man.
April 1996 there were posters at railway stations "The Boy With the X-Ray Eyes". I was headed for London to change for the Eurostar to Paris at the time.
This album is a rock masterpiece. There's not many albums that you can play straight through and every song is standout incredible. I think I acquired this album in the late 90's and being one of my favorites to this day, it still sounds fresh, heavy and unique.
I had a fleeting memory of the chorus stuck in my head for almost 30 years which embedded itself, and I always thought if I ever found the song again it wouldn’t live up to my memory or it was all a product of my imagination. Discovering this again shows me I’d greatly underestimated myself and this band. So original, love the production and use of the Leslie speaker/ phaser effect on the vocals - how the f*** do you write something like that??? So glad this exists and I’m not alone 🎉 👨🚀
I happened upon this album while interning at a small record label in San Diego. One of the guys got a promo copy and just let it collect dust. Always hungry for new music, I took it to my place and didn't give it back. Why they got very little love here in the states, I'll never know.

According to Wikipedia this song did not chart in the U.S. back in the mid-90s? What? Really? (I was around, but lived in Europe & heard this song a lot.)
I only know it because my Dutch BF sent it to me on a mixtape, but then I was able to find the album CD. So, no. I don't think it was a thing in the USA. I just managed to hear it anyway.
born and raised in the usa. i only heard about this song because of a british tv show set in the 90s. i can't remember what it was called, but the soundtrack was amazing. edit: i should mention that i'm a 90s kid all the way, grew up with mtv and grunge, but this song was NOWHERE. it's cool, though. :)
I seem to recall it did a little bit of 120 Minutes, may have been on Alternative Nation a bit. Was not even a factor at radio, but the playlist on Dallas' alternative radio station was probably about 7 songs long by this point...
I remember some people being annoyed because a remix of this song was used on an advert but when people went to buy the CD/cassette, it was this slower version on it. I think eventually the advert version was released.
@@gerbear3227 thats pretty much it people had no idea how much the internet takes over lives, or how it was soon going to take over lives, Johnny R said it's pretty much aswell about Tunnel_Vison and free enterprise its literally no love song lol...
Fun fact: the album was called…”man with the X-ray eyes” reason being when he was a child at school the teacher said he had eyes that were piercing almost like he had X-rays eyes, and the name stuck…so named the album that!!! Cool eh? 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
