David Bowie wrote and performed "Space Oddity" in 1969. It is about the launch of Major Tom,
a fictional astronaut, a character that would be later revisited in the songs "Ashes to Ashes" (1980)
and "Hallo Spaceboy" (1995).

Jimmymac390 (aka James McCoullogh) is a songwriter and performer.
Jimmy has a so Costello-ish feeling while he's singing though he is an american

Space Oddity is one of my ever beloved songs and i think that Jimmy did cover it
in a fab way. I appreciate Jimmy's talent much so i decided to make a video for his
rendition so ...Here's our collaboration
I hope you all enjoy

"Dead Travellers" is a theatrical combination of two stories written by influential Greek writer Alexandros Papadiamantis (1851 - 1911) and the colombian novelist, writer and journalist Gabriel García Márquez (1927 - present).Scenography by Alexandra Siafkou.

  • Jimmy you cant know how much this song moved me! We all know major toms a junkie! This song means something to me, I lost a very close friend to a cocaine overdose in the 80's, she alway loved this song! This rendition is beautiful. You put a depth of feeling on this that even Bowie couldnt. I love this. Straight to favorites! You are a genius!
