Ground control to Major Tom.
RIP.
I feel a little older today...
Ground control to Major Tom... Please come in Major Tom.... Please come in Major Tom.... Major Tom, are you receiving?... Major Tom?... Major Tom, please come in...
Oh no, something’s wrong....
“Space Odity” is one of the most beautiful and inspirational songs I ever heared. Today it reminds me of what America once was.
in the early 70’s i was in Kingsborough CC. I wrestled and had to lose weight. Pretty miserable being 18-20 and not eating most days. I used to sit in the cafeteria sipping coffee during off periods. In That hour i could always count on hearing at least 2 Bowie tunes to help get me through. Changes or Suffragette city were standard play. For whatever reason even to this day i can recall his songs from those lonely hours and none other.
Thank you Mr Bowie. You probably only guessed at how profound an impact you had.
Indeed
I really like Major Tom. The version I had sounded like a German singer, but I bet Bowie did a bang-up job! Haunting.
I remember his duet with Bing Crosby....................
