rockmaniac的搖言滾語

David Bowie-Space Oddity
大家都熟知的英國搖滾樂手早期的音樂開端起始於學校的自組團體他擔任次中音薩克斯風手在經過一番不順遂後(打鬥導致眼睛受傷,手術時身體短暫癱瘓自組團體David Jones & the King Bees發片皆未得到成功等….)被迫更名為David Bowie.
在1972年為RCA灌製的Space Oddity專集(事實上此曲他在69年就曾在英國發行並有前五名的佳績)在次年的同名單曲排行榜中大放異彩最好的名次為第15名演唱事業也一路攀升至今.

Words and music by David Bowie

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you
(spoken)
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff
This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
"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
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows"
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....
"Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do."
