Declan McKenna - Be an Astronaut (Audio)

In every song of Declan’s I feel personally called out and understood.

it's his best song nobody can change my mind

I say this about every song he puts out but this is the best song I’ve ever fucking heard

did I hear this on the radio once or was it a dream?
I can’t remember what’s real and what’s not anymore whoops-

this song sounds like something freddie mercury would write or sing

Daniel, do you remember?
You were in such a state
The boys that wait outside your house
Have got your number
And are not afraid to use it
They'll probably give it out
To anyone they see, including me
They'll probably make up your mind
As if you want them to
Oh, you (oh you)
Those boys tell you what to do
All the time
On, and then later on
You said I could be just what I wanted
They said you're lying (lying)
Well, you were born to be an astronaut
And you'll do that or die trying
What a way to live and die
And you wonder why boys will cry
Boys will be boys, they should listen
Do as their mothers tell them
If you know what's good for you
Behave yourself this time for me
If you know what's good for you
Don't lay around complaining all day
Oh my, the boys that wait are on the line
And they're not crying
On and later on, you will tell them what went wrong
And they'll say you're lying (lying)
But you were born to be an astronaut
And you'll do that or die trying
There'd be nothing wrong with it, oh
Oh, you waste your time
Come waste mine
Oh my, the boys that wait are on the line
And they're not crying
On and later on, you will tell them what went wrong
And they'll say you're lying
But you were born an astronaut
To do it or die trying
There'd be nothing wrong with it, ah

Does epic mini games play this

I thought I’ll tell my kids about the Beatles first but I’ve change my mind to declan

Holy dis so good

te amo te amo

amo esto con todo

maravilloso

I’ve fell passionately in love

I LOVE IT.

I hate the ending of this song, because then it's over and I have to restart it.

i love this album fr

This at double speed is a BOP

but who’s lying? 🤔

Why is he sounding like Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club? I love it

i’m so scared of growing up, what if i end up not doing anything that i’m passionate about it? what if i i’m still stuck in my room crying all alone? what if i never meet my dreams and i just die in pathetic leaving behind such worthless life.. i’m so scared

The start sounds the same as dali by mecano and I don't know if it's on purpose.

Perú? Uwu🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪

listen to this on 🍃 thanks me later

Reminds me of an italian artist Lucio Corsi.
Go check it out!!!

Eehh I like these dudes

letra:
Daniel, do you remember?
You were in such a state
The boys that wait
Outside your house
I've got your number
And I’m not afraid to use it

They’ll probably give it up to anyone they see, including me
They’ll probably make up your mind as if you want them to

Oh you
Those boys tell you what to do all the time
On and later on you said I could be just what I want
And they said stop lying
You were born to be an astronaut
And you’ll do that or die tryin’
What a way to live and die

And you wonder why
Boys will cry
Boys will be boys
Don't you listen?
Do as their mothers tell them

If you know what’s good for you
Behave yourself this time, for me
If you know what’s good for you
Don’t lay around complaining all day

Oh my
The boys that wait along the line, and they’re not crying
On and later on they will tell you what went wrong
And they’ll say stop lying
And you were born to be an astronaut
And you’ll do that or die trying
There’d be nothing wrong with it
Huh-Huh

Oh you waste your time!
Come waste mine!

Oh my
The boys that wait along the line, and they’re not crying
On and later on you will tell them what went wrong
And they’ll say you’re lying
Well you were born an astronaut
And you’ll do that or die trying
There’d be nothing wrong with it

M A S T E R P I E C E !!!!!!

this song reminded me of how music is supposed to make you feel

i feel like freddie mercury and bowie would love this if they were still around

Gives me Rocky Horror Picture show and David Bowie vibes mix with Queen as well 😍😍

David Bowie vibes <3 I love it

That line " You were born to be an astronaut, and you'll do that or die trying " always inspires me

Is Daniel even a person? Is he an emotion? Is he a place? We don't know

rip remus lupin, you would've love declan

this is just SO GOOD

Me going to see my father at the hospital listening to this song,
Doctor saying we lost him!
My mother screaming!
I've never felt so heart broken!🤦‍♂️💔
RIP my beloved father!

Surely earth isn't home? I've never felt at home here. I want to go to space.

I remember long before “ What Do You Think About The Car?” Came out. I’m still here and nothing has changed other than the fact that he’s much more powerful with his voice and the confidence he holds.

All the love. This man is a legend. People are missing out on his music, istg

I can’t believe i live in the same era as Declan, it’s so incredible glam rock may be not dead

Bowie with Major Tom, Declan with Daniel

Aún no te olvido, sea donde estés deseo que estés bien y seas feliz

what a way to live and die

Its been a long time since rock music has sounded this bombastic and intricate. I guess Axl did it with Use Your Illusion when everyone else was dumbing it down (not necessarily in a bad way), but nothing else has sounded this ambitious since glam in the 70's

If Wings-era McCartney tossed Queen a song...

This is a strong song!

soy el único al que le pasa que el interludio le rompe todas las vibras hermosas que le venía transmitiendo la canción?

2024!anyone?

Anyone here 2024? Reminds me of being 16

this is just my favorite
