Space Invaders Song
Locked heart meaning. Pour out your heart to somebodyWhen you pour out your heart to somebody, you tell them all your problems, confessions, interests, feelings, and other things you are not comfortable sharing with other people.Here’s a sample situation of how pouring one’s heart would be like:This morning, Jenny invited me for a cup of coffee. It was Jenny. I was confused with the sudden invite because, after our breakup last year, we also broke off all of our contact.I agreed anyway because my gut told me to do so.As soon as I arrived at the coffee shop, I was welcomed by a sobbing woman who hurriedly rushed and enveloped me in a tight, but more like desperate, embrace. She was crying really hard.Without a word, I led the both of us into one of the empty tables and assisted the crying Jenny, who could hardly let go of me.

History[edit]
The arcade game of the same name, Space Invaders, was released by Japanese company Taito in 1978 and had become a global phenomenon by 1979. The Warner Music office in Sydney had its own arcade cabinet of the game, which prompted the idea of a song cashing in on the game's popularity. They took the project to Sydney producer duo Russell Dunlop and Bruce Brown, who took inspiration from the Space Invaders game to create the song's bassline. According to Brown: 'We actually went out with a machine before we did the record and recorded all the sound effects of it and had a little fiddle around with it'.[4]
Dunlop and Brown also released an album as Player One, Game Over. Dunlop recalled: 'We sat down and wrote a bunch of space songs, but instead of sticking to the concept of the hit, we wandered off into the 'clever' musical genre with fancy time signatures, radical chord progressions and so on. The reply came back for the States that this was intended for 13- to 14-year-olds: 'You've lost us.'[1]
The single and album were released in the US under the band name Playback, which Brown and Dunlop had used for other projects, to avoid confusion with the US band Player. The US version of the album was titled Space Invaders.
The song was released internationally but failed to chart outside Australia. It was, however, influential in the history of electronic dance music:[4] the bassline was re-used by Jesse Saunders for what is commonly held to be the first Chicago house record, 'On and On' (1984), based on a bootleg mashup called 'On And On' that used the original recording of 'Space Invaders'.[5][6]
