Peter Murphy: Space Oddity

[silverwolf2061]

so beautiful. it makes me cry

[whiteboyfunk1]

How 'bout a duo gents?

[Born2Rock1987]

god I love david bowie but this is sucha great cover.....

[IHATEPRINCETON]

I love this cover thanks

[XvrAntoine]

that's the first time that I listen a very high level cover of Bowie's song. The original version is so beautiful that it is a real challenge to cover it. But Peter does very well. Thanks for posting it

[CalemBendell]

@XvrAntoine Check out Warpaint's cover of Ashes to Ashes too :)

[XvrAntoine]

@CalemBendell Thanks for the post. It's a nice cover too. It's hard for me to love other version of Bowie's songs. I'm a so big fan since 30 years now.

[CHIARA357]

i love both versions.Big fan of Bowie and Bauhaus since 30 years now. Bicio dj from Italy.

[marvanme]

Love this. Fan of both Pete and Bowie. What I can't stand is dickheads who rubbish Bowie. Stupid aholes who know nothing. Pete is a great fan of Bowie. A lot of Uk artists are Bowie fans. Bowie Ziggy era made all this possible don't the fools realize this! Any how Love Petes version. I love Ziggy and Punk, Bauhaus, Killing Joke to Stone Roses. Check out Bauhaus Telegram Sam - T Rex Bolan cover Pete does a terrific job. Wonderful!

[johnstonutd]

@marvanme hello, you probrably know this already, but the Bauhaus did a cover of Ziggy Stardust as well. i saw a vampire film the other day called The Hunger, in it Bowie is a vampire in a nightclub where the Bauhaus are playing Bela Lugosi's Dead live on stage! its a weird film, but nicely shot.

[Robertonyc]

All I can say is: WOW!!! Amazing. Thank you whoever was kind enough to post this.

[vince25xx]

I prefer this version

[peetrwilson]

Oh neat! He uses the same violinist as he did on the "Fake Sparkle..." album. I wonder if this was actually recorded during those sessions. Incidently that violinists also plays with HUMANWINE on their "Burning Cities present" album... another awesome band.

[peetrwilson]

Oh neat! He uses the same violinist as he did on the "Fake Sparkle..." album. I wonder if this was actually recorded during those sessions.

[racyweb]

nobody rips of David Bowie and gets away with it as well as Peter Murphy.. :-)

[TheLarde]

@racyweb my two favourite singers... (although actually my singing teacher said "Yeah, I understand how one can find Peter Murphy charismatic and like the songs, but it doesn't have to do anything with singing what he does". I disagree.)

[PeterMurphyLover1]

Pete is the ONLY one that can...he does It BETTER than Bowie could EVER DO!!

NOT a rip off..a tribute....Pete just HAPPENS to do it BEST!!!! ;)

[GrantCSteyn]

@racyweb

[Aghamorad]

Wow. What a great cover!

[ABIGAILXYMOX88]

I LOVE U PETEEER!!! WOOOW!!!!

[ThePoisonDoor]

This is QUALITY!

[tesoro1966]

never heard this before, gosh

[marcelomcn1977]

Where are you taken this amaizing version?

[TheLarde]

@marcelomcn1977 It's an official relase, you can buy the song via iTunes. I more or less went to iTunes for that particular reason, I usually buy my stuff elsewhere... :-)

[omegarjsr]

@TheLarde

Hi, I tried to find it in Itunes and no way...:(

this is not a song version...this is magic!!

If you can help me how to find it, I appreciate.

Regards,

Ricardo

[TheLarde]

@omegarjsr Hmm... I just cannot give away the mp3s that easily, that wouldn't be fair. I mean, I am happy enough that Peter isn't pissed that I uploaded some of his songs here. Can't you just download this with some kind of mp3 converter?

[omegarjsr]

@TheLarde Thanks, but that wasn't the way I prefer to get it...No, Peter won't be pissed with you for posting the song.

[Ypipable]

Look up.

[35sixer]

[theluke01]

[theluke01]

@theluke01

...sorry i mean "gwound contwole"

[IsabelDhampir82]

Que voz, solo el es digno de coverear una de las canciones iconos de BOWIE y el rock en general.

[fthlagen]

First woke up to Murphy when Radio Luxembourg featured "Love Hysteria" for a week. It's been a fine journey since then.

This version is sublime.

[carmonamarques]

orgasmic...as usual in peter's voice

[metewritis11]

Hello !

Shame that he didn't play the song, I hope he sings is on Athens!

SUNDAY he will be here !! I am so happy !!

Hellos from Athens !

[XmajandraX]

@metewritis11 he was here in zagreb just yesterday and you're in for one hell of a show. life altering experience.

[TheLarde]

Btw, I have a clip recorded at the Cologne gig, but I don't think it's worth uploading quality-wise. Do people watch poorly mono-recorded stuff here? :-)

[XmajandraX]

hahah they'll watch anything if it's rare i guess :D

[charlie421]

thought that i would hate this ,cringed a bit when i read that he had covered it ..but he nails i t(i should have known)

[andremb12345]

yesterday, i saw this song live!. it was the greatet concert ever!

so magnificent... this man is without any doubt, one of the greatest musical geniuses ever.

[metewritis11]

Hello, hello!

Murphy is finally coming to Athens and I am so happy ! He is a myth, he has excellent voice and concidering that Bowie is my best... I am so happy listening space oddity by Murphy!

Thanks !!!!!!

[TheLarde]

Can you believe it? He didn't play Space Oddity when I saw him in Cologne last week... :-(

[pocketgoth]

It was even better live.

[lesassassins]

great version but he could have covered another song by david bowie, like station to station or maybe hallo spaceboy. there are like one thousand covers of this song by different artists.

[oalemdemadrid]

WOW.

Nobody on planet earth sounds quite like Peter Murphy.

I´ve heard soooo many stories of people that got to meet him, including me. He is so approachable and humble, which boggles the mind.

[IoSonoTrash]

Peter and David: THAT SEXY COUPLE!!*__*

[TheHoleInTheGround]

Phenomenal..

[helenamknox]

He's got a phenomenal voice. He does Bowie proud, I'm sure.

[scrymusic]

I saw him and hear this live.. amazing.. and then I got to meet and hang out with him..

Without a doubt.. great guy and not forget.. an Icon.

[starvengers67]

lucky  guy u get to hang out

[TheLarde]

I so regret now that I didn't make any effort to make some kind of video, or at least make a "show the lyrics clip". I love this song! I will see Peter live in October, ha! :-)

[sacebu]

oooooooo, its incredible, FATHER OF GOTH

[IsabelDhampir82]

YES!!!!!!! FATHER OF GOTH!!!!!!.

[MoonageDaydream2008]

[zeezberlin]

[ItsFeatherrrr]
