"Spaceman" is a song written and recorded by the American singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson, released on his 1972 album, Son of Schmilsson. One of the highlights on Son of Schmilsson, with its dramatic opening fanfare and a cross between folk with a heavy R&B rhythm, the song explains the desire and downfall of the narrator, who wished to be a spaceman and now wants to go back to Earth but is stuck in space. The song was one of the three Nilsson's songs that became a hit of the year, the other two being "Remember (Christmas)" and "You're Breaking My Heart". The song was covered by the American band The Roches on the 1995 tribute album For the Love of Harry: Everybody Sings Nilsson.more »
