David Bowie - Space Oddity

Ground control to major Tom...
Ground control to major Tom...
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
(Ten) Ground control (Nine) to major Tom (Eight)
(Seven, six) Commencing countdown (Five), engines on (Four)
(Three, two) Check ignition (One) and may gods (Blastoff) love be with you

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
stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
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 circuits 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 sitting in my tin can far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do

[Stoirmcriostal]

Some of us were just reminded of an old childhood favourate by Chris Hadfield- and there's nothing wrong with someone younger than this song discovering it from that video. Think of it this way- they have a chance to become a David Bowie fan now.

[TheKiteLegacy]

It's because of mindsets like that that humanity isn't getting a whole lot done.

[lastelin]

Well, sorry to interrupt your party without wearing a wig, make up and a fucking glittering sweatshirt...freak

[Worhan]

Because people are not allowed to discover music through other people? Seriously man, grow up.

[thetalibanter]

If you're here because of that astronaut and not bowie... GO DIE IN A FUCKING HOLE AND COME OUT WITH SOME BRAIN CELLS.

[SpiRos Ontic]

People didn't know this song before Hadfield? And are getting top comments? Really internet? really?

[Trent Taylor]

Mr. Deeds.

[Flyfunner5]

The hope of humanity sent me here

[RdRvRm]
