I have a line from this song tattooed around my wrist I love it that much. Every single time I hear this song I am overwhelmed by a deep, beautiful sense of melancholia and reminded of ultimately how insignificant we are individually. Everything must come to an end eventually... there is little point of being afraid of death for it will come for us all and envelope us in layers of sleep and darkness.
The sample of Nixon talking is as follows if anyone is interested. I find it quite haunting given the troubles that have followed since 1969.
"Hello Neil and Buzz, I am talking to you by telephone from the Oval Room at the White House, and this certainly has to be the most historic telephone call ever made from the White House.
I just can’t tell you how proud we all are of what you have done. For every American this has to be the proudest day of our lives, [ ----- and for people all over the world I am sure that they, too, join with Americans in recognizing what an immense feat this is.-----]
Because of what you have done the heavens have become a part of man’s world, and as you talk to us from the Sea of Tranquility, it inspires us to redouble our efforts to bring peace and tranquility to earth."

"Stars Die."
"Stars Die."
The title explains the song, everything dies, even stars. This song is sad, but it's beauty is overpowering.
