The Church - "Under the Milky Way"

On the latest episode of The Story Behind the Song, host Peter Csathy is joined by The Church bassist and vocalist Steve Kilbey to take a deep dive into the Australian band's beloved hit "Under the Milky Way." Listen to their conversation.

Kilbey tracks the origins and production of "Under the Milky Way," which arrived as the lead single of The Church's 1988 debut album, Starfish. Kilbey recounts how the song was written quickly with his then-girlfriend to avoid doing dishes for his mother.

Despite its humble beginnings, the song became a critical and commercial success, solidifying The Church's place in the 1980s music scene in their native Australia and beyond. The episode explores Kilbey's artistic journey and his reflections on the enduring legacy of "Under the Milky Way." Plus, the two discuss The Church's pandemic creation (and their 26th studio album), The Hypnogogue, which arrived last year.
