One of THE MOST talented persons you have reacted to. He did all the voices, played the instruments recorded it all. Yeah.

Bowie is the GOAT. The Rock Star of the Space Age.

Bowie changed his image and his musical style many times thru the years, but his talent and ability is always consistently apparent.

I think I remember Bowie saying he often wrote about feeling isolated. His style often changed, but that was always a common theme for him.

We all wore platforms in 1970s. I was 16 when this song came out, married 2 years later.

You two are ,epic , nothing else to be said 🥰💎💎💎💎💎💎🇬🇧

This is my guy. Great appreciation and respect for him and his music for many years. Rip. Thanks for the music. As always enjoy y'all reactions.

This guy was ahead of every trend...then others followed it and he created glam-rock. About 5 yrs after this he was on Soul Train, think about that❗ He also showed the world Stevie Ray Vaughan and asked him to play on his "Let's Dance" album and then SRV went on his own and as they say "the rest is history"❗❗

My favorite artist ever

13 and this was a great album this was my introduction to Mr bowie and the spiders from Mars good reaction guys God bless keep spreading the music around.

The original UK release was July 1969 in time for the Moon landing. it wasn’t a success at first but eventually reached number five in the charts. Bizarrely it was banned in the states at first. but eventually reached number 15 in 1972 and was his first hit over there. For sure one of the all-time great classics. As usual I suggest look at the Wikipedia entry for this song which will explain almost everything. David’s primary influence was the recently released movie 2001 a space Odyssey which impressed him. He was feeling very alienated at the time and dissatisfied with the progress of his career. But it was never suggested that this song had a drugs connection. Many people like yourselves have tried to over interpret what the song is about with all sorts of fanciful notions. To get the song you have to imagine the context of the time the building excitement and mystery for most people of the approaching launch of Apollo 11 to the moon. Were they really going to make it Or disappear without trace. This was a far out record at the height of the swinging 60s and a lot of strange and new things were happening So this was yet one more very “different” record. David was very anti-drugs having seen what happened to people that he knew. He was a very imaginative and inventive artist and was inspired by the mood of the moment. RIP David. We will never forget you

happy weekend! love you guys! your fun!

Thanks guys . Btw bbc TV played this song during the apollo 11 moon landing. In 69

This was a re realised. Originally it came out in 69 not a hit but was on the second release.. he wrote a sequel to this called ashes to ashes. Many years later

yall should check out space oddity covered by chris hadfield recorded Aboard the ISS

I think it was actually written because of the Apollo's face program comma but I do agree that there is quite a bit of metaphor that could be attached to it. Thanks for the review and you did great!

from a later song by him, ashes to ashes : "Ashes to ashes, funk to funky We know Major Tom's a junkie Strung out in heaven's high Hitting an all-time low"

Love you guys! Love your thoughts on this too. You two never disappoint me!🙂👍

Interesting points...thought provoking reaction

I hear it as being about alienation/isolation

A very visual song

Do not listen to what haters have to say. Plenty of haters these days. Just let them go their own way.

looking forword to checking out your other channels!

Love your work.

wow, those are neat subscribe effects and such

Fyyiiiyaaaa

try David bowie "Ashes to ASHES" or " fashion"

He was "playing a guitar"...top shelf analysis...lol

Although video recording was done 1972, it first came out in 1969 at the time of the moon landings......:-)

I agree with the dual meaning of an astronaut getting lost (maybe intentionally) and dying in space, along with drug use and overdose.

It definitely has an alternative meaning to the obvious man in space story it tells on the surface. Knowing Bowie and this stage of his career it could well have been about a bad trip, especially as the follow up tot he story Ashes to Ashes tells that Major Tom is a junkie. but it could also be him dying from an OD

Excellent..🤔

The video is from 1972, the audio from 1969.

Ignore the haters

Sure by happy to subscribe. To stephs solo channel.

Don't bother I think was about space?

"Axing"?? Lovely grammar

I hope you two are investing in crypto.....
