It's him and I, aquemini! Was my favorite album but I liked all of them!

Perhaps the idea that Major Tom is actually a drug addict and that Space Oddity is a metaphor for an overdose could go to explain the rest of Space Oddity as an album and the rest of the songs are prequels detailing Major Tom's drug induced ramblings which could explain the album's many songs that talk of fantasy stories and the bizarre phrasings seen in most if not all songs on the album. The album Space Oddity could be simply Major Tom recording the thoughts he had while under the influence of drugs.

All of them!!!

I've always believed that David Bowie viewed Major Tom as his alter ego, being addicted to drugs and becoming a junkie just like he was. This would also explain the skull since from his perspective, he's just a "deceased junkie" whose significance to life is worth all the songs and life, its weight in jewels, that he gave us before parting

Way too short his life like this video please more

Formerly known as “OutKast” you trippin

I personally think of Space Oddity as someone finally fulfilling their dreams, getting what they’ve always wanted, but feeling even emptier than ever. Over the course of the you see Major Tom happy/exited, then confused and unsure what to do, and then a feeling as if he is drifting through his life with no purpose but accepting of his fate

Move to Berlin to clean up & get away from drugs. Berlin was the heroin capital of Europe - him & iggy were getting it posted though the door 😆

00:47 *_“Their legacy is a golden one.”_* More like a *DOUBLE-DIAMOND* one, pimp💯

great video!

If you listen to the song Rocket by Def Leppard at 2:40. Major Tom is Mentioned

I will always be grateful for his music and his art... We are losing some of the most beautiful people in our lives and we will never forget them We love you David, We love Tom

Bowie was attached to aristocrats and he knew they were not really going to space

Blue Danube is such an iconic soundtrack to Space ...

What Bowie really shows us is the importance of creativity. It moves through time and is essentially the greatest expression of our being here.

Thanks for this excellent points,amazing song and video ashes to ashes.

what about Peter Schilling - Major Tom (Coming Home) ?

Major ton is he hero of mine. I know he’s not real but to me he is. I think it’s beautiful how he goes from hero to zero and back to being worshiped after death. I could easily see a movie or series based off the story of major Tom. Also love Peter schillings major Tom song ❤️

Wow how crazy is it that he passed away 2 days after his last album was released that's very stange. I hadn't even realized David Bowie died a very different kind of artist really there's no one I know that was like him one thing he wasn't scared to express himself or his ideas.

Thank you for a good informative video.ive been a fan of david Bowie since the 70s great artest R.i.p.love you David.

First three Outkast albums should have been 5mics! (Aquemini was the best to me) I don't care how you phrase it duo, group ect..... Outkast is the best to do it! And they put the south on the map! Great video

ATLiens, but favorite song is The Art of Storytelling Part II

Absolutely great video. I made a Chinese subtitle and posted it on Bilibili (hope you don't mind, I also make clear notation about you channel and original link on KZbin)

Its challenging to move through live, survive and try and create a legacy worth remembering while also being a tool of an indifferent system that will immediately forget you when you die broken and penniless, even as an Adonis of a man. Bowie knew that people all over the world looked to artists, poets, actors, writers, eccentrics, gurus and celebrities for guidance on what they should be living for and getting some really bad advice; that even he wasn't immune from being seduced by. Theres something about a period of exile for creatives that is profound and unites everyone from lgtb, black, white, rich poor male female etc. disparity is the human condition many spend their entire lives trying to ignore rather than fix. for whatever reason sex, drugs and rock and roll seem to be the cause and solution of every problem.

Well said...

I love that I can dial up the most random thoughts I have like “ who is major tom anyway?” And I can find it right here on KZbin thanks 🙏🏽

Bowie's songs are all open to interpretation by the listener, David himself has said this. He left us a a massive catologue of work to listen to, so headphones on, eyes closed and drift off into David's imagination.

Space oddity is a series of songs related to major tom

I love the way you clear this out!!!! I feel the same way about it!!

What about peter schilling?

keep up the good work, hope to see more videos from you

Their first album, as you noted in the video, is very good. Why don’t you recommended newcomers start there? In fact I don’t think I’ve ever heard you recommend that method of discovering a band. Why is that? It seems the obvious introduction. And the best introduction as you can hear the band evolve if you recommend listeners just go album by album chronologically. Which is what I recently did as I never listened to OutKast before until last week. Chronologically is a great way to go. I highly recommend it.

Atliens

What about Peter Schilling's Major Tom?

Your videos remind me of LEMMiNO, both you and he are amazing channels with very similar styles of creating videos.

You gotta post Igor to call me if you get lost now 🔥

Dope video!

This was hard to watch. I lived thru this at 15 years old. I studied this. I lived this album. You have too many facts wrong because it sounds like you did some reader has and have a few memories from that time. You motivated me to show you. I’ll be right back! It’s missing the nuance.

Great video! I found this very informative and it gave an interesting perspective on Tyler. However, I would suggest not using the jarring "beep" sound to transition between shots. I suffer from tinnitus and this was quite hard for me to hear.

Aquemini is my favorite OutKast album

OutKast changed everything

Bellissimo video....grandissimo Bowie....

While Outkast shouldn’t have been booed at the source awards, it did lead to one of the hardest samples in hip-hop history in Chonkyfire

great viedo so fricken underated

He was such a beautiful human
