First Time Hearing DAVID BOWIE - Space Oddity [REACTION]

[@NostalgiaBrit]

He was a really good actor, too, as well as an amazing singer… Plus, when he was a boy, a snowman came to life & took him to see Santa, from whom he got a blue scarf (with little snowmen on it) as a gift! ⛄️🎅🏻

[@sofysunshine6520]

Really first time you hear this song of david..I love you🙏🎶💖 legend indeed

[@dawndeleon3765]

I was a little girl, 5 or 6, first time I heard this song, sitting on the floor in front of my brother's bedroom, listening to his radio. I cried for poor Major Tom. Yes, Bowie definitely one of the most influential and brilliant pop artists of the 20th and early 21st centuries.

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Just a straight up masterpiece. Bowie is the man. He will trip you up every time. If you listen to five songs, you'll get five different Bowies.

[@davidknizner3773]

Bowie = Rock star!

[@dagmar.6954]

Another great artist I grew up with. David Bowie was an English singer-songwriter & actor. He constantly reinvented himself to stay current over nearly 5 decades. His first big hit was "Space Oddity" in 1969. He has had a lot of great songs including "Starman", "Ziggy Stardust", "Rebel Rebel", "Young Americans", "Changes", "Fame", "Golden Years", "Ashes To Ashes", "Under Pressure", Let's Dance", "Modern Love", "China Girl", "Heroes" etc.

This is such a great rabbit hole to go down, great songs like, The Man Who Sold The World, The Jean Genie, Starman, Moonage Daydream, Suffragette City, Rock 'n' Roll Suicide, Life On Mars, Changes, Let's Spend The Night Together, Sound And Vision and Hero's all waiting for you to enjoy my friend.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

You are listening to one of the GREATEST rock artists that ever lived in any era.

[@wpollock1]

"Here am I floating 'round my tin can" ....I don't think Major Tom is coming back....clever lyrics! Bowie plays piano, sax. guitar and writes the music and lyrics. Love your message!

[@rhondamcbath6279]

✌️✌️✌️Love David Bowie's Music, and this song is AMAZING!! THANKS FOR THE GREAT REACTION, AND TAKING TIME FOR ALL OF WATCHING!!💛💛💛

[@kimtalley4496]

My all time favorite Bowie song is Lets Dance.

[@susanbezio1529]

David Bowie was a genius. Changing constantly with everything he did.

[@carolyncappitelli1460]

You need to check out Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield. He did a cover of this song on the International Space Station while floating in a most peculiar way. David Bowie loved it!!

[@tommymacdaddy69]

Agreed! I think it truly puts Bowie's song into a unique and reverent perspective. Truly worth checking out. 😊

[@susieq9801]

@@tommymacdaddy69 - Chris did a great job on the song. He also was a great teacher who gave lessons to schools from the ISS.

[@markhollander1201]

Human space flight isn’t real . NASA is Santa Claus for adults . These Astro-NOTS are 33rd Freemason secret society frauds and liars bc of the $$$$$$$$.

[@carollittle1059]

WHAT!!!! oh you need to check out his catalog and such a style setter. This was his Glam rock phase.

[@CA-tz2sg]

Watch "Life on Mars" live from Paris in 1999. It brings to me in tears every time! He was otherworldly!

[@mangasky7]

Bowie was the first Rock Star of the Space Age and this song predicted the spaced-out, alienated 70s. When you investigate his mind-blowing catalogue, you'll discover he was a genre unto himself.

[@CardiacCat]

My favorite Bowie song right here. Unfortunately in the story, Major Tom didn't make it back home, and doesn't sound like he made it back into the space capsule: "Ground control to Major Tom, your circuits 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"

[@wraithby]

Check out Bowie's "Word on a Wing", a great vocal performance: [Chorus] Lord, I kneel and offer you my word on a wing And I'm trying hard to fit among your scheme of things It's safer than a strange land, but I still care for myself And I don't stand in my own light Oh Lord, Lord, my prayer flies like a word on a wing And I'm trying hard to fit among your scheme of things But it's safer than a strange land, but I still care for myself And I don't stand in my own light Lord, Lord, my prayer flies like a word on a wing My prayer flies like a word on a wing Does my prayer fit in with your scheme of things?

[@MadMattInc1]

David is a huge influence on music in many genres. Even inspiring a few through his works. Major Tom is actually a returning character in his work, as is his next point of view character Ziggy Stardust. Where Tom is a Astronaut that got stuck in space, Ziggy is an ex rocker turned reporter in our "near future" who makes contact with aliens and tries to save the world. Tom's last appearance/mention is in David's video for Black Star, one of his hits from his last album, that came out about a month before he died. The first video to directly bring Tom back up was David's Ashes to Ashes.

[@sofysunshine6520]

Great David..star Man🌟

[@andreaaase1065]

Welcome to David Bowie! It’s a wonderful rabbit hole. He tackled many different genres in his career. If you want to get funky, check out Fame and Station To Station, Golden Years. For pop genius, there’s Life On Mars, Changes…. He was very shy, so he created personas. Ziggy Stardust was his first, and you can check out Starman, Rock & Roll Suicide… then others like Panic In Detroit, Aladdin Sane, Rebel Rebel, and Heroes. He had great collaborations like Let’s Dance with a then-unknown Stevie Ray Vaughan on guitar, Young Americans with a then-unknown Luther Vandross on backing vocals. He did Under Pressure with Queen. And don’t sleep on his later stuff. I’m Afraid of Americans, Hallo Spaceboy (check out the live version of that one from his 50th birthday with Foo Fighters backing him). His final album Blackstar is a jazz masterpiece. Have fun!!!!!

[@jomojojo6603]

Bowie has a lot of hits. A good variety. Can't go wrong with any of them.

[@jameskennedy721]

His first hit . Lots were to follow , with a fantastic variety of styles and themes .

[@connieelaine855]

He was also a fantastic actor!! He acted in and wrote the soundtrack to my most favorite movie...The Labyrinth💕Long live the Goblin King!

[@byronmitchell3784]

DAVID BOWIE, "SPACE ODDITY", He said he was inspired to write this song. After he had gone to the Movie Theate, and watched the Epic 🎥 "2001 a SPACE ODYSSEY". more,, "ZIGGY STARDUST", "GOLDEN YEARS", "YOUNG AMERICAN", "FAME", "LET'S DANCE", "REBEL, REBEL", "CHANGES", "MODERN LOVE", "SUFFERAGETTE CITY",

[@vincentmizzoni6999]

I had know idea what he ment by this song, I was 15 years old. But I loved it .

[@charleslively1714]

Great song great reaction!! This whole album is good

[@davidfisher8821]

Bowie is a great road to travel down, he was to the 1970s what the Beatles were to the 1960s. There are a couple of more songs in the Major Tom saga. Bowie revisits the character in Ashes to Ashes, and you see Major Tom’s final fate in the video for Black Star. Bowie also did a stripped back version that he recorded in 1980 in the style of John Lennon’s plastic ono band. I’d recommend other songs like Station to Station, The Man Who Sold the World, Moonage Daydream, Aladdin Sane, Beauty and the beast, The Heart’s filthy lesson, New Killer Star, and many more…his sound changed from album to album, you’re in for a treat!

[@carollittle1059]

Golden Years, Fame are 2 of my favorites. He did duets with Bing Crosby, Little Drmmer Boy and Mick Jagger, Dancing in the Streets.

[@JC-es5un]

You should check out his song “Star Man”; he has so much phenomenal music. 👍

[@Terri6868]

Co-wrote & performed Under Pressure with Queen. Annie Lennox Freddie Mercury tribute concert.

[@melissaheneghan5939]

It’s even more incredible when they didn’t have tech like we have now & they had to find some inventive ways to create the sound!

[@AwakeAtTheWheel]

How is it possible for someone to not hear that song. I would understand if you were like four years old, but dude DAVID BOWIE!! He’s the only celebrity who’s death announcement truly hurt my feelings.

[@viviennerose6858]

David Bowie wrote this after watching the film '2001: A Space Odyssey'

[@kimtalley4496]

There's another song he mentioned major Tom, Ashes to Ashes.

[@antoniocunha8772]

hey devin top 3 artists ever , he is unique

[@Stephen-nd1sx]

Grateful Dead 🌹 Ripple

[@mervinmannas7671]

I gott into David quite late but some years later he picked up Major Toms story in a song called Ashes to Ashes. I love a lot of his earlier work and some later stuff but not so the material he was producing after 2000. One of my all time favorites is the title track to the album Scary Monters and Super Creeps which very few react to as it was only an album track and I think the b'side to Ashes to Ashes.

[@lucianananni142]

You are the cutest of the web. 😂

[@jonfazzone5125]

If you want to be introduced to Bowie, Start with the Songs Moonage Daydream Ziggy Stardust The are Bowie at his Absolute Best with Mick Ronson on Guitar Piano & String Arraignment’s

[@doctormemory]

This is the sequel to Space Oddity: Peter Schilling - Major Tom, Part II

[@terrypmusic]

Very good, keep it up

[@emander8340]

Ah man PLEASE check out his live version of Heroes from 2003 in Berlin (where he wrote it in the 70"s ). You'll get a sense of his personality. Thendive straight back into all the suggestions you'll soon get as you can pick any song almost from any decade and it's bound to blow you away. Great reaction!!!

[@quentinthewhale1623]

Maybe you can react to Comfortably Numb live at Pompeii by David Gilmour! You'll love the solo!!!

[@viviennerose6858]

I love that he sings in his proper English accent, and doesn't try to put on a fake American one

[@robertasirgutz8800]

This song was critized, then re wrote by Paul Anka, and because Sinatra's "My Way". The most influential person in pop music.

[@kimtalley4496]

I think this was during his Ziggy Stardust days.

[@melissatopham4018]

Loving the Annunaki beard.

[@anabellelei8540]

Dive in. His music is life changing

[@darrylhewes2376]

Another fantastic track. Bowie was way before his time in my opinion.

[@darrenmccardle7615]

This song is about getting high and being spaced out from it. He was using drugs in those days too.

Please react to the music videos “Ashes to ashes” and “Life on Mars” by Bowie. Enjoyed.

[@jimhsfbay]

Peter Schilling did a great cover/ode to this song. Major Tom. The German version is better but the English version is good too.

But by that logic, who created god?

[@transistor281]

highly doubt that was your first time

[@tdamtoft]

"OK DB I hear you" - a bit lame. And then you more or less go along with "no moonlanding theorists". Take a fing stand. No this is not hate, it's simply a disparaging comment about a sad person who's trying so hard to be popular, that he loses all relevance.

[@barriewilkinson1455]

Is this how you carry on in normal life. I think people would be forgiven if they thought you were high or drunk. You are showing absolutely no respect to the artistry of David Bowie or the fact that he has passed. You have to listen to great music to truly appreciate it not comment on every line and jabber inanely. Sorry I thought your reaction was ridiculous.
