“Space Oddity”
Written and Performed by David Bowie

Recorded Trident Studios, 20 June 1969
“Space Oddity” is a song written and performed by David Bowie and released as a single in 1969 (See: 1969 in music). It is about the launch of Major Tom, a fictional astronaut who becomes lost in Outer Space. Supposedly released to coincide with the Apollo 11 moon landing, it appears on the album of the same title. The BBC featured the song in its television coverage of the lunar landing.
“Space Oddity” is a powerful narrative, echoing Arthur C. Clarke’s book, and Stanley Kubrick’s movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey, both released in 1968. The similarity in titles suggests that this film was on Bowie’s mind when he wrote it. The main character in that novel (and in the movie) is called “David Bowman”.
The song is often interpreted to be about self-destruction and estrangement from humanity. Major Tom’s cryptic last message, “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!)”, suggests that he is still alive and well and chooses to kill his circuit to ground control.

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
{ten}
Ground Control to Major Tom
{seven six}
Commencing count down engines on
{three two}
Check ignition and may GOD’s love be with you
This is Ground Control to Major Tom, You’ve really made the grade
And the Papers want to know whose shirts ya wear
Now it’s time to leave the capsule if ya dare
This is Major Tom to ground control, I’m stepping thru the door
And I’m floating in a most a-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 circuits dead there’s something wrong
Can ya hear me Major Tom?
Can ya hear me Major Tom?
Can ya hear me Major Tom?
Can ya hear…..
Am I floating ’round a tin can…. far above the moon, planet earth is blue, and there’s nothing I can do….
In the movie if I am recalling correctly it wasn’t sung by David Bowie, but I don’t know who it was by…. Hope I helped ya a little.
