1004 Foreigner - Starrider
1004 Foreigner - Starrider
I had not heard this song in well over 10 years, last night whilst playing some video games for no reason it started playing in my mind; after that I knew I had my pick for the day.
This one could be considered a Space Rock track of sorts due to the subject matter/lyrical content. However, the way it was arranged makes it a very accessible track to most anyone; there is a definite Pink Floyd sound to this track mixed in. I love songs like this where you can get lost in thought listening to them.
Anyway, I used to listen to Foreigner a lot, but for some reason their music has ebbed in the rotation. However, my affinity for their music has not waned at all; I love hearing them when they come of the radio.
For me their debut album, which this song comes off of, has always been my favourite out of their catalogue; I can usually play the record without skipping any songs. For me it seems as if their is a correlation with each consecutive release and how much I like the album; the newer the album the less I seemed to like it. Not that any of them are bad in my opinion; there are a few songs that I like, but just less on each newer album.
Here is the studio version on YouTube.
My song pick a year ago today: The Who - The Real Me
My song pick two years ago today: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Lucky Man
