Life on Mars - piano & voices & more...

----------

I discovered David Bowie with this song, while watching "Life on Mars", the famous BBC show. The music and the pictures were perfect together; the result was just breathtaking. From this moment on, this song has been haunting me, I had to play and sing it myself.
So here's the result. In case you're wondering, I played all the instruments with the keyboard (piano -of course, strings, drums, guitar, flute).

Lyrics :

"It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It's on Amerika's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask her to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?"

Le piano très bien. Le chant aussi, mais c'est marrant en t'entendant j'ai tout de suite deviné que t'étais français...

@Co0kieCo0kie mince, démasqué, il faut que je travaille mon accent :)

[nate479official]

you're good, but don't breath in your mic and sing with your heart! :)

well done!! the song is good and you got a nice voice. Don't worry about your accent, French is sexy! ;P

Une excellente réussite instrumentale et vocale dans le respect de cette chanson "extra-terrestre". A rapprocher sans hésitation de l'ambiance magique qui émane du film "L'homme qui venait d'ailleurs".

On attends la suite ...

P&M (qui a beaucoup aimé ...)

Ta meilleure selon moi pour le moment. Garde le cap !
