On October 24, 1995, Spacehog released their debut album Resident Alien, which spawned the singles "In the Meantime" and "Cruel to be Kind". The band's second album, The Chinese Album, was released on March 10, 1998. Though it did not sell as well as Resident Alien, the band's popularity was increasing as Spacehog opened for popular acts like Pearl Jam and Supergrass. The Chinese Album featured a more "artsy" sound, with Pink Floyd-like piano on the opening track and Michael Stipe of R.E.M contributing vocals to the song "Almond Kisses".
In 2001, Spacehog released their final album, The Hogessy.
In 2002, Spacehog quietly broke up and the band members went their separate ways, but reformed in 2008.
Never Coming Down
Spacehog Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got up, can't get down
It's like when you get to
the start of the day
The start of the day go run run away
We're still never coming down
the hair of a dog in the face of a clown
the start of a day go run run away
The lyrics to Spacehog's song Never Coming Down convey a sense of euphoria and resistance to any form of limitation or boundaries. The opening line "We are never coming down" suggests a state of being that is high, elated, and transcendent. The line "I got up, can't get down" suggests a sense of elevation and freedom that cannot be contained by any force.
The lyrics also use the metaphor of the start of the day to convey a sense of liberation and a desire to break free from the constraints of everyday life. When they say "The start of the day go run run away", they are suggesting that they want to escape the mundane and explore new horizons. This line could also be interpreted as a reference to a desire to break free from the past and start anew.
The second verse of the song features the metaphor of "the hair of a dog in the face of a clown," which suggests a sense of absurdity or chaos. This line contrasts with the idea of liberation and could be seen as a reminder that there is always some form of opposition or challenge to overcome.
Overall, the lyrics to Spacehog's song Never Coming Down convey a sense of freedom, liberation, and a desire to break free from limitations and boundaries.

omg!, well i was a fan of spacehog not long ago, since i heard the song in the meantime and loved it, then i bought resident alien, and i listened to the whole album happily then this song came on and instantly remebered the mighty ducks, one of the movies of my childhood

Why is this not used as a goal song in the NHL ?!?

I had no idea this song was used in a movie. I wonder if Liv Tyler had something to do with that(she was involved with the lead singer for a few years). I just remember because I had the album "resident alien" which is very good.
