"Galaxie" is a single by American rock band Blind Melon.
The song uses the main subject matter of Blind Melon lead singer Shannon Hoon's 1963 Ford Galaxie to also explore the deeper themes of his first love and break-up.
He had originally bought this car used in New Orleans, for rather cheap, as the doors wouldn't even open.
During the recording sessions Hoon would get frustrated and drive around the city in the car.
Glen Graham believes it was during one of these drives that Hoon came up with the final lyrics to the song.
