Planet Earth is blue and there’s nothing I can do
Ground Control to Major Tom/Ground Control to Major Tom/Take your protein pills and put your helmet on.
Ground Control to Major Tom (Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six)/Commencing countdown, engines on (Five, Four, Three)/Check ignition and may God’s love be with you. (Two, One, Liftoff)
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
“This is Major Tom to Ground Control/I’m stepping through the door/And I’m floating in a most peculiar way.
“And the stars look very different today/For 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 circuit’s 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 floating round my tin can/Far above the Moon/Planet Earth is blue/And there’s nothing I can do.”
Dunay mga rock star nga mosunod sa mga formula ug trend para dunay hit. Dunay uban sama ni Neil Young nga way paki kon makahimo ba siya og hit ug dili. Pero duna say sama ni David Bowie nga who wants the best of both worlds -gusto nga mo-hit apan magpatuyang gihapon sa iyang gusto. Ug tungod tingali niani nahimong trendsetter si Bowie.
Buot niya nga dawaton sa kalibutan ang tanan niyang tripping ug kabuang. Ug tungod tingali kay kinasingkasing man ang iyang paghatag sa tanan niyang nahibawoan sa iyang mga kanta, gidawat siya sa kalibutan.
Uban sa The Who ug Pink Floyd, nahimong pioneer si Bowie sa mga concept albums sa ‘70s ug ‘80s. Alienation ug androgyny maoy mga kusog nga theme sa mga kanta ni Bowie. Daghan siyang mga persona nga gimugna sama ni Major Tom, Ziggy Stardust, Thin White Duke ug uban pa.
Kon unsay iyang masugatan sa iyang kinabuhi mobutho gyud sa iyang mga trabaho. Mao nga dihang diha na siyay cancer gahimo siya’g mga kanta ug video kabahin sa kamatayon. Tungod niani nakaingon ang mga critic nga he turned dying into an art form.
Duha ka adlaw sa wa pa siya mamatay sa edad nga 69, gi-release ang iyang katapusang plaka nga “Blackstar.”
