First time hearing David Bowie "Space Oddity" Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@jamesmcavoy379]

Major tom is the astronaut. Ground control is space org headquarters in communication with major tom. Most of the song is written like its radio communication between astronaut and ground control. With that in mind it might be easier to grasp what's happening.

[@philminion3675]

There os a cool cover of this song an astronaut played on the space station

[@Muckylittleme]

Actually, although that is how the song is set out structurally, think Asia has a good take on the actual context as well. Remember Major Tom returns in Ashes to Ashes and it turns out he is indeed on a bad trip.

[@vivianphillips8519]

Yeah, I'm not sure why they were having a hard time keeping up with this. We managed and didn't have the words on a screen.

[@jonathanlocke6404]

@@Muckylittleme I had a pretty conventional straight forward take on this song for years: Major Tom intentionally disconnected his communication with ground control, and allowed himself to just float off into space. (He asks ground control to give a message to his wife.) After "Ashes to Ashes", I'm not really sure what it means anymore...

[@Muckylittleme]

@@jonathanlocke6404 Well no reason it shouldn't be taken on face value either until Ashes to Ashes and who knows if Bowie just decided to evolve the Character after Space Oddity? Maybe he is talking about himself playing the persona in 3rd person and his won drug addiction? A lot of his songs either have very profound lyrics with double meanings while others are deliberately nonsensical so he is always hard to decipher.

[@vicprovost2561]

David Bowie was one of the greatest musical savants and a chameleon. Myself, I love his stuff from this early era. I love his Ziggy Stardust era output with the incredible Mick Ronson on lead guitar. That was glam rock at its best, with a touch of psychedelia, punk, Prog and hard rock sprinkled in. Try Moon Age Daydream, Ziggy Stardust, Suffragate City and Width of a Circle. This band was at its best live in 1973, that show will send you to outer space! 🎵

[@fredkrissman6527]

Yep. I agree with all the above! I saw Bowie's Diamond Dogs tour several yrs later, and he was living and performing the dissolute mood theme of that lp, which was somewhat unsettling (as it was meant to be IMO!) to him, the band, and the audience. Wish I'd seen him/them a few yrs earlier!!!

David Bowie was a genius. He constantly changed his sound, reinventing himself many times. That's why he remained relevant to music for so many decades. He was a true artist and yet accessible as well. In interviews he usually seemed to be having great fun, a down to earth likeable guy. When it came to his music though he seemed driven to create something timeless and memorable and he often succeeded.

[@forevalearning]

Great to see you both doing much better health wise. Believe it or not, David Bowie was watching the 1968 movie 2001: A Space Oddysey high as a kite when ideas came to him about this song 😂. Major Tom is a fictional character. BJ I think you hit the nail on the head saying Major Tom is your own alter-ego, and the space oddity is your own mind where you are present, but not present. And yes Asia, your conscience and sub-conscience. Great opinions, thoughts and reaction ❤️

[@michaelwhite6740]

Not to be argumentative but I think this song is about the Apollo 13 incident. When it happened the whole world in shock. I think Rocket Man by Elton John was also influenced by it

[@forevalearning]

@@michaelwhite6740 in an interview David Bowie said everyone thought this song had to do with the Apollo Missions and the landing on the moon but it had nothing to do with them at all.

Fun fact: Bowie actually produced a trilogy of sorts for Major Tom. This was the first, followed by Ashes to Ashes, and concluded with Hallo Spaceboy

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

Hi. I actually wonder if the last appearance of Major Tom is in Bowie's video for the song "Blackstar". For me the dead astronaut in the video could be him. Just my interpretation.

[@SpikeMatthews]

It's possible, I suppose, but the song doesn't really fit thematically.

[@DanielOrion74]

Caught him live twice. Once with The Polyphonic Spree where he literally stopped mid song when he noticed someone waving a program from the play "The Elephant Man" which he had starred in when it toured through my town some decades before. He told the story, signed the program and then went back on with the song... ever the performer. The other time was when he toured with NIN. Both performed separately then played together at the encore.... unbelievable. 5 decades of incredible music from a singular talent; never to be duplicated again.

[@sandydiller4828]

Me too, the Serious Moonlight Tour. ❤

[@mikemiller3069]

I like that, after they say "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.........?" he doesn't reply to them, instead going inward with his thoughts about "here am I sitting in a tin can............." and pondering his fate. It leaves you thinking. 🙄

[@kurre7]

"Psychedelic Nostalgia" seems actually a good way to describe it.

[@hermandadams]

bowie was one of those rare and special artists years and years ahead of there time he could change his persona and style and reinvent himself many times over throughout his career , even lying and singing in his own coffin just before his death in his final album Black Star, he was iconic the world over

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

I'm not sure about this song but many times everything you hear was done by Bowie. All the instruments, all the multi-voice chorus. He was sooo talented. As always y'all review / react great.

[@radone5896]

"Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows" major Tom knows something is wrong and the ship is starting to careen out of its' path. He knows there is nothing he can do to get back to earth, the very last part the music is going out of control and he is lost, conveying the emotions of early space flights where many things can and did go very wrong.

[@necalovescake]

but its a metaphor for drugs right? hes not actually singing a song about space men, its inner space not outer space.

[@marcharley6465]

Bowie returned to the Major Tom character years later, in an excellent song called "Ashes to ashes". It's well worth checking out.

[@ATN2USN]

David Bowie was one of the first androgynous performer. People speculated this was about drugs, and the connection to them. Listen to something from Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Kind of shocking at the time but pretty tame now.

[@AR-by5hw]

No one writes songs like these anymore. Stories. Different ones. Different perspectives.

[@dankofanz]

He's singing both parts - the astronaut, Major Tom and the guy at Ground Control

[@phillipradcliffe8037]

Don't over think it. He's like the narrator, taking both parts of Major Tom and Ground Control. This was his first major hit in 1969, the same year man landed on the moon. Major Tom appears again in two other songs by Bowie, but many years apart ("Ashes to Ashes" and his last album "Blackstar").

[@willblood7082]

Welcome to the rabbit hole of David Bowie 👏🏻👏🏻 At first he is the one calling ground control and they’re telling him it’s time to step outside the door. Later in the song it’s ground control trying to reach him but they can’t… He’s Major Tom. Small correction but his last name is pronounced as “Bo E”.

[@erickent3557]

One "clue" is that Major Tom essentially says goodbye BEFORE ground control loses contact with him.

[@targetshootr]

We finally got to see him in '74 on his Diamond Dogs tour. He wrote a lot of truly great songs and he was a pretty good actor too. He starred in The Elephant Man on Broadway and was hilarious on Extras with Ricky Gervias. Gone way too soon.

[@leew6091]

Bowie did consume a lot of substances back in the day. But the album this song is from (also called Space Oddity) was released 1969, same year as Apollo 11 mission/first man on the moon.

[@Apostrophe65]

Every album Bowie made was a different trip that he took you on. It always took a little time to catch up with him. Bowie made albums for down the road a bit, he seemed to have understood what you would need later on. For me it started with a song called Oh You Pretty Things and down the rabbit hole I went. Hunky Dory became the beginning of a lifetime of Bowie music.

[@jayce711]

You'll probably like Starman better. Its one of my favorite Bowie songs.

[@uncabuzz118]

Ground control to Asia and BJ...your circuits dead...there's something wrong.

[@100PaulRees]

I’ve listened to this since it came out in 1969 and always interpreted literally as Ground Control communicating with Major Tom in space. But Asia’s interpretation was that this was all going on in Major Tom’s head, like someone feeling conflicted and going through turmoil. That interpretation really works too and I wouldn’t be surprised if that wasn’t Bowie’s intent.

[@ollietsb1704]

David Bowie is quite excellent in THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH, a long film that begs for patience but it's memorable 'study' of What If's...

[@surferles589]

The song is about a guy getting high. At the end he overdoses. Produced by Gus Dudgeon and Rick Wakeman played the strings. Gus ended up being Elton John's producer, and Rick Wakeman ended up making Yes into a supergroup

[@headrushindi]

Don't overthink it too much. Bowie is just telling the story like reading a book. " Major Tom said" ..then Ground control said ..etc...It is not based on a real person , it, like most music from that era is a commentary on humankind , and the perils and beauty's of our curious nature etc..

[@markturpin5667]

I know everyone will tell you about the greatness of David Bowie..... and they're obviously not wrong, but I offer something else: There's a re-telling of this song. It's not a cover, it's its own song, but it tells the story of Major Tom from a different, more positive perspective. It's Major Tom by Peter Schilling.

[@DaP84]

Impressing you got the feeling he's talking to himself (even though it plays out like a dialog between ground controll back on earth and the astronaut Major Tom, on a surface level)! Bowie is using the then very current "space craze" (cold war and the space race) as theme, and the space journey that goes wrong as a metaphor for a drug addict that goes too far, beyond the point of return and loses touch with reality

[@necalovescake]

im actually surprised how many comments there are in this comment section and so far you are one of 2 people i have seen who actually sees the song like this, which to me just seems like a really obvious conclusion that its a metaphor for his own experiences. who actually writes a literal fictional song about a space man? i find it very weird so many people think this song is literal, esp when ashes to ashes basically spells it out for anyone who missed it first time around.

[@DaP84]

@@necalovescake yeah, true! Very few draws the connection. People aren't generally that invested in the lyrical content i guess, or smthn else 🙂

[@chrisf.7980]

David Blake wrote this song in 1969 after he was inspired by Stanley Kubrick's groundbreaking movie "2001 - A Space Odyssey" hence the play on words "Space Oddity." Anyone who lived at this time knows that the "space race" was a major cultural event to see which country was going to be the first to land on the moon & our space advancements were constantly on TV. Bowie said in interviews that he was "stoned out of his gourd" when he saw the movie & was trying to capture his feelings of alienation. Major Tom was left floating in space & the question has always been was this an accident or intentional. Bowie has always left ambiguity in his lyrics because he wants people to interpret them as they will, as any true artist does. He revisits Major Tom in 1980's song "Ashes to Ashes" as being a junkie, which is after Bowie's own struggle with cocaine addiction (NOT heroin), and again in subsequent years with "Hallo Spaceboy" and again in his swansong video for "Blackstar." I also heard him say in a later interview that space was an outer manifestation of an internal space. Many people interpret that as drug related, and that analogy fits as well as other interpretations. My own personal opinion is that it is more of an existential crisis of sorts - but then again this is why the song has a broader appeal that spans over generations. I still mourn his passing. RIP David Robert Jones, you are sorely missed!

Really enjoyed this one! And I'd just recommend that you really try to cast your minds back to when this song came out, 50 yrs ago. This was the time of the first moon landings, quantum mechanics and new cosmic theories so this song really spoke to current ideas. In other words, it of course didn't sound "old" or even particularly psychedelic in the 70s. And Bowie was pretty much always right on the edge of experimental music and pop. I think you'd enjoy "Golden Years" or "Suffragette City". Thanks for upload! (note Bowie pretty much said this song is about drugs but I think its way more than that.)
