Bowie is so famous, and justly so, for his presentation - his look, his voice, the way he moves, the costumes and sets, the sound of his records - that it's hard to remember that he is also a guy who writes knockout lyrics, melodies, and chord progressions, just like any great songwriter you could name.
I heard one of the guys on here say that some people say Bowie isn't much of a song craftsmen... to me that's like hearing someone say that Aunt Jemima doesn't know much about pancakes. Bowie is as good as it gets!!!
i'm sick of the term chameleon - a creature who changes color in his environment - David never did that - he went into places as a rainbow and made others change to him!
@kingalow1 I think a chameleon is a great way to describe Bowie, as, contrary to popular belief a chameleon actually changes colour to suit its mood, rather than as a camouflage. Therefore, I believe, such a description very much suits Bowie.
I think that all of the elements of Space Oddity were perfectly placed. David's voice expressed the Drama, as of a play, the music supported the drama, and the lyrics told the story david was expressing perfectly. Just my opinion. And...Oh yeah, it's because he's great!!!

Space Oddity - I believe this song may have been inspired the Syd Barrett's Astronomy Domine. I prefer the latter.

5.25 "we're talking 75 years on". Anyone else hear that?

@DanTheManFantastic90 I was too distracted by his wonky teeth. Perhaps he said 35 years on?

Space Oddity has the feeling of an opioid high. "Floating"

I agree but I kinda like the "chamaleon" term, just because it outstands how hard it was for boring journalists to try to define and Bowie.
