a couple of days ago skept!cal started the thread www.abovetopsecret.com...‘ – celebrity stargazing.
a lot of contributing users posted a lot of songs, dealing with U.F.O.s, outer space, and other stuffs.
i am not sure if all the artists really belive in aliens or U.F.O.s or anything comparable, or if they just recorded it coz it sounded nicely or to full fill a contract.
so some people asked themselves and fellow users what impact the songs might have on audicence or on the artist himself!

i just quoted the song lists from the very thread and added youtube links for those who don.t know the songs.
i used the reply to fuction to figure out who made the original post
the song that follow or the list has been posted by the user referd to via “reply to”
i listed everything in chronological order. links have been found at youtube. those which couldn.t be detected are marked in bold. so feel free to complete the list or add more songs.
it is quiet a nice list, different styles
so we start with the first song – to which 2 users got some thoughts later on in discussing, these have been pulled out from the behind by me.

Love calling earth by Robbie Williams


so wow what a list
hope you will post your opinions on the songs, whether you think the artist really belives what they are performing, or the composer or what ever thought might come through your head. and feel very free to add more songs!!!


again john williams
Star Wars

Thanks for all this work ...
Great topic

I found another one. I don't know if it counts as it is mostly a funny song, but anyway...

The B-52's - Is that You Mo-Dean?

Sorry, I don't know how to insert the youtube video...

it is not a game we are playing so every song you think is worthwhile counts
i started adding the youtubelinks to get an idea of the songs
i don.t know all of that pieces of music and if i want to discuss the impact the songs have on me - i should have listen at least once to them

so here the link The B-52's - Is that You Mo-Dean?

a bit strange to me –but makes me wanna dance

well hello there orange-light....nice thread

my favorite song would have to be third stone from sun-hendrix
who knew jimi was a trek fan....

reply to post by orange-light

Sure it's not a game! But I'm a newbie, you know... :-))

Btw, what about adding movies/books to the topic? There's a book I read when I was a teen that influence me lot... "Contact" by Carl Sagan. Years later, they made a movie about it.
Just a suggestion...

reply to post by danamoon

ahhh you have to read Mysteries of the Unknown Series...brilliant.

Songs about ufos and more......the more can mean books/movies yeah orange-light?

can you tell me why it is your fav song?
i am really intertested what music does to people
and maybe why

music is a language, so it should be used to communicate
not only the words of the lyrics but the sound, the vibes, the time, and all that stuff

the origine of the aufience is very important - western music is differnet from eastern music (asian!)

so please share your thoughts and feellings

i will use the weekend for listening to the music into the list and write down my thought
while collecting the stuff and links i got a first impression and this is for sure it is amazing

i know for sure i need def. more clarence clearwater revival
great stuff!

and police

no i didn.t know that jimi was a trek fan
great to hear!

never mind danamoon
for ats i am a newbie to
i am here only a couple of months longer than you
but many times in life you have to do the first step and so we did

great idea with the movies

therefore i called the thread "songs about ufos and MORE"

we are talking about contact with jodie foster?
i love that movie it is fantastic

en.wikipedia.org...

i would love to have youtube or other weblinks at hand
to make it easier to get to know to the stuff

just the title of a song isn.t very helpful to me - to get an idea of the stuff

contact is a movie which thrills me
as if it is a documentary - absolutly fantastic and i ususally think that it must be real, just an idea how it could be

i am an absolute star treck fan - no no ears like mr spock - i prefer next generation

en.wikipedia.org...

en.wikipedia.org...:_The_Next_Generation

guess i could take over any character in the shows

yeah enlighten2012 but i am not the guru of the thread
by no means.

as i stated before, it would be very helpful to get links, nobody has the same background.

mysteries of the unknown!
en.wikipedia.org...


btw. fantastic stuff isaac asimov
en.wikipedia.org...

an american scifi author who started to write at the end of the 30s and developed to me an universe of its own with the foundation series en.wikipedia.org...

nearly every movie consisting robots tell you of the 3 laws of robotics which have been created by asimov

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Hallo is there anybody in here ???
Great idea with this thred
maby someone knows something about Bob Dylan ??? As the (living) legend he is, there has always been told many stories about his maby/maby not encounters with "those from the other side". This is one of them :
Bob Dylan And A Possible UFO Connection
lyrics from the songs :
Sad-Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands
10,000 Men
Like A Rolling Stone
ref. to the article Leonard Cohen could also have been influenzed by aliens ?
Sisters of Mercy
Also the Band's Chest Fever
I am sure where must be somebody out there who knows a lot about Bob Dylan. So please step into the light

And more...

About the feelings : Celiac plexus also known as Solar plexus
some beats in music are, well i think so, made to go directly to the "Solar plexus". Many times its the drum beat. The famous Enigma horn (foghorn)as well...
Just an idea i have



[edit on 9-8-2008 by flymetothemoon]

Enigma "Goodbye Milky way" (Unofficial Video)

YouTube Link

After all it does not seem to be so bad "out there" after all

[edit on 9-8-2008 by flymetothemoon]

thanks this is absolutly cute!!!



i love it wonderful song, and poor alien hit to the ground!!

sure we are in here

bob dylan reminds me when i learnt playing the guitar - i searched for the youtube links again coz i wanna listen
sad eyed lady of the lowlands
10,000 men
like a rolling stone
sisters of mercy
i dunno much about bob dylan – i just like his music – but when you look at our collection of songs so far, it is amazing how many songs refering to ufos and aliens have been composed in the 60s and 70s
