“Come Together” by Spiritualized

Jason Pierce wrote "Come Together", words and music, for Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, the 1997 third album by the English space rock band Spiritualized. The record took its title from Jostein Gaarder's philosophical novel Sophie's World, from a passage about philosophers clinging to the far edge of existence and shouting down to comfortable people who couldn't care less.

It was made in the shadow of a breakup. Pierce and the band's keyboard player, Kate Radley, had split shortly before the recording, and Radley had secretly married Richard Ashcroft of the Verve in 1995, though Pierce maintains that much of the album was written before they parted. The record also brings in guests including the Balanescu Quartet, the London Community Gospel Choir and Dr. John.
