The Man Who Sold the World (Midge Ure)

I laughed and shook his hand/And made my way back home/I searched for form and land/For years and years I roamed/I gazed a gazeless stare/We walked a million hills/I must have died alone/A long, long time ago

"GIIIRL they had this one in MGSV and its like..... about the loss of identity and place in life.... about placing everything you value into the wrong things and living a life of regret . ISOLATION AND DESPAIR AND LONELINESS........... also if this song was a shape itd be a spiral. no one fight me on this"

...Well Better Than the Alternative (Will Wood)

Could you tell me/What's so wrong about what's wrong with me/I'm just trying to do what's right by you/What's so wrong about what's wrong with me/I'm just trying to do what's right by you/Baby, could you play along with me/Baby, would that be alright with you

"The meaning is pretty vague, and can be interpreted many ways, but its mostly from the pov of someone who is either a parent/in a relationship, screaming for acceptance. Also fun fact its partly based on Will Wood's fake relationship with his fake daughter Millie"

The Motors publicaron tres LPs bastante buenos y distintos entre sí entre 1977 y 1980. "Airport" fue uno de los singles de su segundo álbum "Approved By The Motors", una fantástica combinación de Ultravox y Beatles. Sólo que en 1978 no existía Ultravox, existía Ultravox!, grupo liderado por John Foxx. Me pregunto si Midge Ure al entrar en Ultravox! y dejarlo sin exclamación escucharía "Airport" ese año (seguro que sí, UK nº4), y si le sirvió de algún modo de inspiración para desarrollar el inminente sonido Ultravox que les catapultaría al estrellato ("Vienna", "The Voice", etc...). "Airport" se adelantó a todo el sonido ochentero de tecnopops- niurromantiks en Reino Unido. Siempre digo que John Lydon odiaba el pub rock - y de ahí venían Nick Garvey y Andy McMaster, de los ritmoybluseros Ducks Deluxe- pero intuyo que lo de Motors (grupo todavía catalogado como "pub rock") más nuevo y creativo, puede que no le pareciese tan mal. Jimmy Jazz subía el otro día "Airport" a la red social y pensé: "Vaya... los Motors... que buenos y poco reconocidos", y por eso se lo casco aquí a todos vds.
