Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
Sound of their breath fades with the light
I think about the loveless fascination
Under the Milky Way tonight
Lower the curtain down in Memphis
Lower the curtain down, all right
I got no time for private consultation
Under the Milky Way tonight
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
And it's something quite peculiar
Something shimmering and white
It leads you here despite your destination
Under the Milky Way tonight
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find

The original lyric was Under a Snickers Bar until one of their girlfriends suggested Milky Way because it's better for people with nut allergies. True story.

Always forget there’s that bagpipe solo and how perfect it is.

This track is about Elvis... I think it's beautiful. Gina Williams from Perth sang this in Melbourne in her own language , 'Noongar'. She is from West Australia. It is so worth the effort to find her on YT and hear and see her sing her stories!

danfl75, I often wish I was a native of Oz, but in my three lengthy times in that distant, wonderful, otherworldly land, looking up at the night sky never failed to take my breath away. There is no North Star, no Big or Little Dipper, no obvious marker for the center of rotation... Looking out the long way through The Milky Way, rather than through the edge of it into intergalactic space, as we are here in the Northern Hemisphere, makes the sky seem more like a stunning, thick, masterfully-crafted Persian carpet than a black screen with white specks on it... There's nothing we grew up looking at for reference... Down there, it's more like looking at an array of infinite tangles of neural synapses or unwinding strands of DNA... As you look along the filaments and tendrils, there are flecks and nuances of every color, and every shade, every degree of contrast is there for you to contemplate as you elevate and enjoy your VeeBee or Cascade... All of Scorpio is visible. I loved tripping out looking at Antares, the "heart" of the scorpion, and Zubenelgenubi and Zubenelshamali, the stars marking its southern and northern "claws;" they are indeed bright enough to navigate by. I can never forget my first nights in Port Douglas, or even better, up at Cape Trib, and past the Daintree, where you're far from any real kind of light pollution. Blew me away. I get a crick in my neck and feel dizzy just remembering the endless hours spent in rapture... GO, and see it! The view of the night sky from the observatory atop Mauna Kea will also knock your eyes out, since it's so high, and 6000 miles from any light pollution, but there's nothing like the sky Down Under! and nothing like this magical, soul-soothing song! Immortal, and worthy of worship!

Love this song! 'Wish I knew what you were looking for' always leaves me thinking of those I hold dearest in my life and feeling sorry for having missed something essential.
Please play something from Seance. So many good songs.
That's one bitchin' bagpipe solo, right there!

In China, the Milky Way is known as the "Silver River" (銀河 "Yínhé").
every time this one comes up, i try to match the faces on the album cover to those under the bio section to the left and i still can't figure out which belongs to which. each time i think i get it, and then i see something else that changes my mind.

Thank you for that - It is amazing how much one can learn in here. For me, who is very ignorant of the theory of music, appreciation is something very subjective and volatile, depending on my mood at the time. I often wish I had better appreciation of the theory of music and the various instrumentations etc. which I suspect would provide a more technical basis for understanding what I am hearing.

As old as this great tune is it always hits me in my soul in a way that invokes images and memories of my younger years but it also still has a fresh feeling of my present state. After all , our entire lives are made up of a series moments that carve out our destiny through time. Some of them then and ones we live in now. Personally, this song has a certain spooky vibe that gives a perspective of my entire life as just one single moment that feels a bit sad from missing my youth, but also a pleasant feeling from having accomplished many goals along the way and having a life of giving love and being loved. Uh oh, I've got goosebumps. Better get back my feet back on the ground.
Whenever I hear this song I stop everything I'm doing and crank it up.
Holds up very well after 35 years.

Just read that this is from 1988. I bumped it up a notch...
If there is a song my wife and I would agree is "our song," this is certainly it. #longtimechurchie

One of my old favorites! Happy to see it gets a solid 8 rating. But let's see if I can push that up a bit.. 
Lovely song... Makes me recall how stunning it was to look up from Four Mile Beach in Port Douglas and gaze into the center of our amazing galaxy -- here in the Northern Hemisphere we are looking out away from it -- and see the Magellanic Clouds, the Southern Cross (very small and easily missed; the great navigational skills of the ancient seafarers should rightly be admired), and lots of intensely bright and colorful stars... I'm also lucky and blessed enough to have seen the cosmos from atop Mauna Kea, too, and that helped put things in proper perspective for contemplation, for sure.
A reason to go to Church...

Such a wonderful song. Such wonderful memories…
Music was absolutely magical, 6 years into my recovery, living the dream of sobriety.
I remember hearing this on the "classic rock" station in 1980s, and thinking how it sounded so much unlike anything of the era. The actual rock music that was played back then was Van Halen/Fogerty/Hooters type stuff. I think "Under The Milky Way" might have pioneered some of the mellow 1990s sounds like the Smithereens, and which eventually became the mature 2000s/2010s pub/eclectic/indy styles that we hear a lot of on RP.
This is an era of music I pretty much missed out on back in the 80s.
Thanks to RP that's no longer true .

Such a great vibe.
Living alone in a small Mishima, Japan apartment I had to buy a CD player just to listen to this CD in '88, a red one it was, what a great band and they have a new album coming out! Different line-up yet the vibe is still supreme!

I can't listen to this track without thinking of my younger brother. It was one of the last tracks he told me to listen to before he tragically took his own life in November of 2018. It's a lovely song and the lyrics seem very significant. Thanks for playing it. I love listening to radio paradise. Thanks again. X

Hey bill- did you ever hear “street pajama”? Great sounds from early 80s.
Immediately makes me remember the pivotal sequence in Donnie Darko. A beautiful song!

Favorite band ever. This is the song my wife and I consider "our song." It came on in a moment of serendipity on our first date. Long live The Church and RP!
Love that song! Just melds so well! The pipes come in...wow... Watched a band, Seven Nations... not nations... anyhow in Houston on a St. Patrick's weekend visit. Made me lift me kilt!
God Like!
God Like!What a great song...evokes such awesome memories 😊💪🏻
this is what i would call a perfect pop song. try not to like it .

Dang I totally missed this great pop tune from the UK in 1988.
Billboard Number 1 hit in the US from March 1988?
Rick Astley, Never Going To Give You Up.

Your guitarist was so preoccupied with whether or not he could, he didn’t stop to think if he should.

I learned this song from Grant Lee Phillips. Gotta say I prefer his cover.
Such a great song from the 80's. Saw their 30th Anniversary tour of this album. Great!
I've changed 9 to 10. Couldn't help it... One of the first songs I heard here.

I can imagine what a loveless fascination might reference, but "curtain down in Memphis"...? What is this song about...Elvis?

All these years later. Buying all these originally on vinyl, when vinyl was it. Alexander Graham Bell defining out method all this time later. This song still works for me.
Just saw this band last Thursday at the Fillmore in San Francisco. Still sounding great, and of course they played this song.

The two versions of the movie has slightly different music, but as I recall they are both great somehow.
Theatrical/original vs. Director's cut
The awesome music opening with:
"The Killing Moon" by Echo and the Bunnymen (original/theatrical version).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76IkuYLoJkE
or "Never Tear Us Apart " by INXS (director's cut version). 80's epic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyj6YAnaN_M
I love both songs
and they both fit the movie.
But I think the movie itself was better in the original version, before the director felt he had to "explain" some things to the audience.
Not sure though. Gotta see them both again
Donnie Darko has an excellent soundtrack.

I've loved this band since this CD was released. Saw The Church recently in Berkeley, and they were fantastic.
Reminds me of 'The captain of her heart' by Double.

Awesome tune. If you're here enjoying the Church might I suggest another fine tune from the fair land of my birth - Twin Layers of Lightning by the Go Betweens. You won't regret it.
Over 10 years living abroad and a track like this just brings the bogan flooding back.

Great song from a great band. Memories indeed ...
Their earlier albums in the cutout bin (Seance, Remote Luxury) turned me on to The Church. Loved it when they got better production and took off.
I love The Church and while we are on the subject of Aussie bands Bill, how about some more Ed Kuepper?
Love this song. Brings back memories good and sad

Perhaps not. You can't just through a stick and find a Highlander to play the pipes for you in Australia, especially since the ban went through.

Played this stunner during jam sets on my Friday RockShow at the CU FM station during the months running up till I left for Shizuoka...
Otherwise good band.
