Life on Mars?, also called (Is There) Life on Mars? is a song by David Bowie, released in 1971 for the album Hunky Dory. The piano in the song was written by Rick Wakeman. When it was released as a single in 1973, it reached number three in the UK Singles Chart and stayed on the chart for thirteen weeks. The harmony and mood throughout Life on Mars? is very rich and inventive. This piano version can help all pianists to work their way around the song: it will certainly be impressive to learn!

Lyrics:
It's a God-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling no
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

Which version of life on Mars did you use? This sounds different than the original, 1997, 1999, and 2016 versions. I’m assuming you used the 1973 mix.

My name is Sam Tyler. I had an accident, and I woke up in 1973. Am I mad, in a coma, or back in time? Whatever's happened, it's like I've landed on a different planet. Now maybe if I can find out the reason, I can get home

No one going to mention 2:10??? How does someone play all of those five notes with their left hand?

[@ashbridgeindustries380]

+Zman753 It's not that difficult. You can easily play the chords with your left hand and the melody with your right. What I found really challenging was the part from 1:38 to 1:52...

[@mr.caterpillar5642]

I was joking that those blue notes on the right should've been green... didn't actually think it was difficult the play.

[@ashbridgeindustries380]

Oh, yeah! I didn't even notice that those two 'green' notes on the right were actually blue!

[@mr.caterpillar5642]
