I was listening to this with my headphones and the way its recorded I thought a tv was on or something so I kept looking over my shoulder like "WHERE IS THAT COMING FROM"
In this video he's as ugly as my 2nd Motherly or-whatever-it's-called language -.- And she was an annoying bitch-.- This song is not that bad... reminds me of the layer of snow and frozen roads :) It's best to hear while it's snowing.
blessed be to major tom for connecting with our psychic bros and sisters.and giving us great lessons and warnings of the future.....GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR TOM!!!
i wish music was as good as it was back in these times! man this song is great! pink floyd david bowie jimmie hendrix old beatles . man ! great music good times good drugs !
@patrickjune1994 yeah - i uploaded this under the current name because alot of people think it's called thus (in fact i did when i first ever heard it) so i've left it as it is but added space oddity to the tags (:
at my age, and ive been reminded by my mother that im no spring chicken, i still am always amazed to listen to early bowie. david paved a path that no one had the mfing balls to even attempt to excavate let alone pave. i have always loved and respected him as most should. to have his fortitude to withstand the storms of criticism at so many levels and rock on i say...rock on dude!!!
Melodically gorgeous and brilliantly arranged. As a kid and space nut, I went crazy whenever this song came on the radio. As an adult I appreciate it musically and for its amazing originality. The video, well, it adds very little.
bowie, queen etc will be artists/bands that will never be forgotten! anyone with a good taste in music will have listened to atleast several tracks of ziggy and queen!. will 50 cent or lady ga ga still be remembered in 50 years time?
thats stupid, idk how you mean it - but it appears as though you're saying the only music taste considerd 'execptional' is that of one genre 'classic rock' - personally i think music itself is amazing in every type of genre just some better than others - you should apprciate, see good in and listen to every type of musical genere - that is 'music maturity' - btw, 15, love all music (incase you dident guess : ).
He had no eyebrows for the movie The Man Who Fell to Earth, as for the reason he hasn't got them in this video I can't be sure that's related as I'm not sure what release of the song this video was made for.
It was possibly just one of his many different ways of looking other worldly.
The sitting in a tin can part reminds my friend and I of the older Charlie and the chocolate factory song when they are in the factory eating everything! lol
anyone ever see seed of chucky the horror movie i swear he looks like chuckys son in this video thats what david reminds me of in this vid btw this is a great song
Ground control is code for David Bowie's sphincter and Major Tom is David's BF's cock. Come on people the code is so easy to decipher! I'll go on some more. When david mentions taking "protien pills" he means for his BF to get his fluids before sex. When David says "put ur helmet on" He meant "Put HIS helmet on" so that way he won't bang his skull in the headboard as hes getting pounded in the ass lol.
I was the only male waiter in Amazon Trail, a small chain here in Cuyahoga County, OH. The cooks/dishwashers were all male staff. Being a young innocent 19 year old the women would often boss me around. This lead to the cooks ripping on me for letting then "bleed" on me. So thats how I became known as
Maxipad. I would have picked "Tobias", my real life name but alas.. So many posers wish they could be me and have taken that name. TOBY too!
offended by words? "Flugubaush". Do you know what that word means? No, its not spanish, Korean or anything in between. Its a made up word. Any words that offend you... Well sticks and stones lol.
Love the song. Love the style. Love the artist. Love the era. What more can I say? David's a musical genius. (Although, his make-up makes him look very alien-like. But, maybe that's what he wanted! =D)
I remember this one time, a piece of fast-moving sporting equipment hit me in the eye, and that eye's Iris changed to brown, and my eyes looked like Bowie's.
wow that is the most retarded comment posted on this video. this shit aint about bein pretty or singing good. david bowie is like a bach or beethoven.
U2 played this at their intro song for the 360 Pasadena show...Totally gave me goosebumps as I had never heard it before but can't stop listening to it now.
last night i woke up with a terrible fever and a bad dream and the only song i wanted to listen to was this one. this song should be enjoyed by everyone of all ages!
I think David is kind of what Pink Floyd were. Way ahead of the main stream music and yet all of the current artist can't match what these geniuses produced. Noticed that part solo about a minute to the end is almost like Dark Side of the Moon or Wish you we here. That's what I love on these people. They are stars because they are special and they are not special because they are stars.
David bowie was light years ahead of his time, as a male performer, he stands alone, nobody has even come close nor will they ever, the mark of a unique and genial artist.
this song is so hot!! David Bowie a visionary and ahead of his time.
