This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #SciFiSongs
I was going to say that I'm not usually super into sci-fi themed bands, but that is 100% a lie.
Friends, this is Hawkwind.
Hawkwind - Spirit of the Age (1979 Live version)

Lyrics: https://genius.com/Hawkwind-spirit-of-the-age-lyrics
A musical setting of a poem by troubled vocalist Robert Calvert, this dystopian affair was originally released in a more muted form on 1977's Quark, Strangeness and Charm, but I vastly prefer the vocal performance on this astonishing live version, here from an anthology re-release, found on the Live 1979 album. It's heavy, intense, bleak, and Tim Blake's electronics are god-tier.
