David Bowie - Space Oddity (Vocals Only) [WEAR HEADPHONES FOR BEST EXPRIENCE]

I said I would be making new videos soon, didn't I? ;)
(Download for the track in case anyone wants it: www.mediafire.com/download/09v...)
I may or may not upload a version with the reverb that was in the original, depends on how well this video does and if I actually want to do it.
I do not claim any rights to this song, it belongs to it's copyright owners.
Special thanks to Bowie Vocals (Link: / bowievocaltracks ) for his/her upload of the Lead and Backing tracks from the original.

You can hear his chair. This is amazing

[@pedrogs25a]

Probably they used a gate to cut it in the final version.

[@billlewis8711]

@1lonelyGinger - Chair??? What self respecting astronaut would sit in a chair? Come On Man!

[@peelslowly28]

People forget that one of David Bowie's greatest duets was with himself.

[@morganfondellii8788]

Oh God really....

[@professormause]

ah..... no originally it was a duet with this chap kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ3EdodujLpnrKM

[@PlasticKelly]

So much fun to play the acoustic along with David.

[@m00nbeams42]

YES

[@billlewis8711]

Oh my …. OH MY !!!! 25 seconds of ecstasy!! Just listen - the CLAPPING and SILENCE after 2:13 must be the MOST incredible SOUNDS EVER !!!

[@uscman]

2:03 Hearing him sing this line alone makes me tear up, it’s beautiful. I miss him RIP Bowie

[@dokylovesyou7944]

1:41 when he sings “Today” the harmony is amazing. I love this mans voice!

[@terryperring104]

Hate to nitpick but-that's one of the few bits where the two voices DON'T harmonise. lol

[@AntonioToronto]

That is very true

[@loonaya]

@@terryperring104 Hah that's what I wanted to say too, but then I saw your comment :) Sounds amazing anyway. Actually because they don't harmonise is probably the reason that part sounds amazing, because the two vocal parts are in tension most of the time, and that part gives an unexpected release with the vocals in unison.

[@marcoquintana4205]

@@loonaya vocal in unison and... Raspy voice!

[Verse 1] 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 (Five) countdown, engines on (Four, three, two) Check ignition (One) and may God's love (Lift off) be with you [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 2] 0:58 This is Ground Control to Major Tom You've really made the grade And the papers want to know whose shirt 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 [Chorus] For here am I sitting in my tin can Far above the world Planet Earth is blue And there's nothing I can do [Verse 3] 2:38 Though I'm past 100,000 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- [Chorus] -Here am I floating 'round my tin can Far above the moon Planet Earth is blue And there's nothing I can do

[@terryperring104]

He had a perfect vibrato. Great voice

[@billjohnson1094]

Bowie loved the sound of hands clapping. Listen carefully and you will hear it in many of his songs.

[@violentpancake]

Damn, I have goosebumps, that’s soooo cool, literally can’t stop listening to this over and over

[@itsmebeccaburton]

OH GOD, I COULD HEAR IT ALL DAY LONG, IT GIVES ME THE CHILLS(I love all David Bowie songs, but his vocals in this song are something that I can't explain, so perfect, WONDERFUL ❤❤❤)

[@billlewis8711]

@BeccaB - You are sure easy to please LoL!

[@TuanBui-yp7oz]

Omg that outtro vox part is so nuts. Don’t even know the word. Brilliant i guess?? And the part around 1:35 mark. Wow. How long have I been sitting here listening to this??

[@erikgelfat367]

fun to play with a guitar

[@debbielynn6291]

Omg... First....miss you David! Second... How freaken ethereal is this! I get chills esp around your melodic blending "..sitting in a tin can..." Props to you and your talent!

[@princeofpersiasands7]

No one disliked this yet and it should stay that way

[@cartney_2153]

Wow really great work. I love this song very much but until now that i have heard it without instruments i never realized how the countdown part is Great with big G .

[@kikrinman1450]

This sounds like wearing shoes without socks.

[@rathazel3473]

omg this sent me 😂

[@ladystardust2898]

God, how much I love this. Thankyou so much for making this

Well shit man, good work. Subbed.

Wow, just wow.

goosebumps.

Whoever the monster is that gave this a dislike. Please know that noone will cry, when you die.

[@zacri9434]

God damn

[@Mars-]

Why though. Its just different opinions . I admit I sometimes feel bothered when Ppl don't like what I like but if I step back and observe its ultimately silly . We are all different ppl with our own minds and ways of hearing sounds ,etc My view is that I love Bowies voice. And when he sings he has an energy that's very present and Alive. That's really all that matters to me. 👌🏼

[@probablyryan8151]

@@Mars- lmao lighten up, he is exaggerating to make his comment more entertaining

[@Mars-]

@@probablyryan8151 True I know that its exaggerating. My point is beyond that though. I'm saying that on all the comments there are always ppl who are emotionally angered or triggered by someone NOT liking their favorite music. Maybe you will understand what I'm saying now.⭐

[@billlewis8711]

@@Mars- - Personally, I far, far prefer the finished studio track, instruments and all. … btw, NO it wasn't me! P.S. I much enjoyed your nicely reasoned argument. Too bad that it's not required reading for everyone who signs up for KZbin. Altho I suspect they're quite happy with all the disagreements/rants & Likes/Dislikes, etc for the Engagement-Factor that's involved!

IT'S SO..... PERFECT

[@mabon00]

So dope

[@billjohnson1094]

Very nice!

[@lukebradford]

For some reason, I can't play this video. The download works, every other video works, but this video doesn't. Is it just me, or are other people having this issue too?

[@christfit7]

Too me!!!

[@BunsenMusic]

9 months later. Same for me. Weird.. never had this happen on a video before. Tried it in multiple browsers too. Very odd

[@sup3rnanaa]

oh my god

[@paulwaters4411]

This hits so fucking different 🔥🔥

[@elizabethdayax3282]

Very good but can you do it with the original space oddity

[@Imetral0]

WonderdoesGaming if you mean that one from that '69 music video i'm sorry but there's no vocal track available for that version (as far as i know that's the only thing you can hear that version in), the only reason i was able to do this version was because all the stems (instruments, vocals, etc.) were released in the Space Oddity 40th Anniversary EP.

[@geordiemanc]

❤️❤️❤️

Nice1!

Siento que canta aun lado mío, es un poco raro pero me encanta poder apreciar su canto sin instrumental.

you have the same issue where its not playing and load all the time?

Do yourselves a favor, match this with Ramin Djawadi’s cover from Westworld

[@policewitness5181]

Better still, compare it to Ryan George's sketch.

[@oscarclarke2653]

That second voice really annoys me. Anyone knows of a version of this song that only features Bowie's voice?

[@Imetral0]

both voices in this are bowie. they're harmonizing.

[@reallybigdoggy]

Billy Grey yikes you don’t like bowies harmonies, oof

[@debbielynn6291]

Like...it's Bowie backwards forwards up down. of course it's him. .
