about

David Bowie en su vida fue un artista que nunca siguió la norma. Disco tras disco era poseído por su inspiración y se transformaba en los protagonistas de sus canciones. Esta canción fue su primer hit que lo impulsó a su fama, salió en 1969 y capturó perfectamente el miedo y la magnificencia de los viajes espaciales (novedad en aquel entonces). Así que en honor al aniversario su muerte, despedimos al gran Major Tom y le agradecemos por todo lo que nos enseñó.

David Bowie was an artist that never followed the norm. Album after album he was possessed by his inspiration and transformed himself into his songs protagonists. This track was the one that launched him into fame, it was released in 1969 and it captured both the wonder and the fear of space travel (Something that was very new at the time). So we decided to honor Mr. Bowie on the first anniversary of his death, saying goodbye to Major Tom and thanking him for all he taught us.

lyrics

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, six)
Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you (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"
