*New Studio Tracks

Curt Smith shared this about the song:
““Astronaut” started out during the sessions for The Tipping Point. Once we realized that we were going to end up doing more than just one new track for this album, Roland sent me the original recording of “Astronaut,” and I had forgotten how good of a song it was as it gives you a sense of release. It’s a horrible comparison, but it’s the sorbet in between courses where you just can have a little breath and just float away. Forgive the pun, but that’s the feeling the song has…

Emotionally, it’s about this guy who doesn’t feel he belongs here and wants to be an astronaut floating out into space… a lot of people identify with the emotion of that song, that sense of alienation.”
