~.-Space Oddity -.~ David Bowie cover

My husband on the couch just fooling around…and with 9 months of NO practice.. ….check out the reflection! One of the best songs of all time! From the Album Space Oddity, in 1969. “Still considered one of Bowie’s best-known songs, “Space Oddity” was a largely acoustic number augmented by the eerie tones of the composer’s Stylophone, a pocket electronic organ. The title and subject matter were inspired by Stanley Kubricks 2001: A Space Odyssey and introduced the character of Major Tom. Some commentators have also seen the song as a metaphor for heroin use, citing the opening countdown as analogous to the drug’s passage down the needle prior to the euphoric ‘hit’, and noting Bowie’s admission of a “silly flirtation with smack” in 1968.[3] His 1980 hit “Ashes to Ashes” declared “We know Major Tom’s a junkie”.”
