"January 28, 1986"/ GALAXIES

This song is by Owl City, this  is comformed  by Adam Young. Owl City is one of Young's many solo projects, with all music written, composed, recorded, and produced by him. During live performances he is accompanied by a group of supporting musicians. He plays synthpop and electronic music. Young created the project while experimenting with music in his parents' basement. 

Adam Young created this song, because he was curious about the Space Shuttler Challenger Disaster, which happen in January 28, 1986. 

Adam Young, the mastermind behind Owl City, has this to say about the curious "January 28, 1986": 

"There's a track on the new record called January 28, 1986 and it features a clip from Reagan when the space shuttle Challenger blew up that same year and it's kind of a sobering... piece, and it stuck me. I was actually born that same year, '86, my parents always used to talk about it and so it was always on my mind growing up and I felt like it would be a good thing, to pay dues to that, and I've just out of respect feature a little interlude on the record, that Reagan quote, and the idea behind it is that it's kind of a precursor to the following track on the record called Galaxies, just to kind of set up the premise of the following song and it's just a short little interlude and it was a fun thing to do. I'm glad it came together."

The Space Shuttler Challenger Disaster ocurred when  Space Shuttle Challenger (mission STS-51-L) broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members. The spacecraft disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida. Disintegration of the vehicle began after an O-ring seal in its right solid rocket booster (SRB) failed at liftoff. The O-ring failure caused a breach in the SRB joint it sealed, allowing pressurized hot gas from within the solid rocket motor to reach the outside and impinge upon the adjacent SRB attachment hardware and external fuel tank. This led to the separation of the right-hand SRB's aft attachment and the structural failure of the external tank.Aerodynamic forces broke up the orbiter. As a result of the disaster, the Air Force decided to cancel its plans to use the Shuttle for classified military satellite launches from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, deciding to use the Titan IV instead.

Here is a video that includes the lyrics and the audio of the song:

Hope you like it!

I really like this song, because i didn't know about this disaster, and know i have a lot of information of it, i really do a lot of research to found an interesting song, i found a lot, but i want one song who give me new information, and this one did it. I found another one also interesting it talks about rapid-fire allusions to more than 100 headline events between January 1949 (Joel was born on May 9 of that year) and 1989, when the song was released on his album Storm Front; it's a good song, it doesn't have like a lot of information, but i like the rythm and the lyrics, it's named "We didn't start the fire" By Billy Joel, if you have time hear it, it is cool.
