Space Oddity

Ground control to Major Tom Ground control to Major Tom Take your protein pills and put your helmet on Ground control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven) Commencing countdown, engines on (six, five, four, three) Check ignition, and may God's love be with you (two, one, lift off)

The song narrates the launch into space of Major Tom. In the astronaut's odyssey, Bowie sings the bleak and hallucinatory sensation of floating in space inside a tiny tin box disconnected from all communication with the earth.

This is major Tom to ground control, I'm stepping through the door And I'm floating in a most peculiar way And the stars look very different today Here am I sitting in a tin can far above the world Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do

El gran Bowie🌌...

Primera canción del álbum con el mismo nombre, de David Bowie.

Soy Fan de David Bowie, y está canción me ha gustado desde hace muchos años; pero escucharla en la película The Secret Life of Walter Mitty le dio un nuevo significado en mi vida. Ahora la asocio con alcanzar los sueños que nos proponemos.

La canción narra el lanzamiento al espacio del mayor Tom. En la odisea del astronauta, Bowie canta la sensación desoladora y alucinante de flotar en el espacio dentro de una ínfima cajita de lata desconectado de toda comunicación con la tierra.

O camaleão britânico lançou este single na data em que, supostamente, o Apollo 11 aterrissaria na Lua – o que ocorreu dia 20 de julho, alguns dias depois. Na música, Bowie canta sobre o astronauta Major Tom, que teria ficado deprimido durante a quinta missão ao satélite.
