The album has to be taken as a whole. It’s loosely based on a concept of the world ending and an alien messiah named Ziggy descending to earth to save us all, but gets distracted and becomes a rockstar. It begins with Five Years and ends with rock and roll Suicide, but a lot of mesmerizing music happens in between! Try Moonage Daydream, it rocks the hardest, and yep, you’ll have a hard time with the lyrics, but that’s half the fun of it!

The song was easy to follow. It is about a fictional character, Ziggy who played guitar in a band, The Spiders from Mars. However Ziggy was so bloody good the fans were all over him and mainly ignored the rest of the band. The band grew jealous of Ziggy's success and wondered if they should "break his hand" thus ruining his ability to play the guitar or just "break up the band". However, they could not deny that Ziggy could play and they certainly did not mind the fame he brought them so it was a catch 22 for them.

Ziggy was a guitar player in a band called The Spiders From Mars. But his guitar playing became so good that the fans cheered for him and be became so famous that it was now Ziggy's band. The other band members became so frustrated that they bitched about it and wondered if they should crush his sweet hands so that he couldn't play guitar anymore. Listen to the lyrics again.

Ziggy Stardust was a allegory paying homage to late Jimi Hendrix. Jimi played guitar left handed and wrote his famous blues anthem Voodoo Chile. Hendrix guitars antics were legendary and included making love to his guitar on stage by biting the strings and dry humping his guitar amps. He also died tragically of an overdose, hence "took it too far"

David had many alter-egos - right from the early days of his career - he was driven, at least in part, by the notion that a single person could be built up of more than one personality - this is most clearly introduced in the lyrics to 'The Man Who Sold the World' where, in the title track, he has a conversation with himself...

When David came to the states in 1971 he saw the Velvet Undergound. After the show he talked with Lou Reed Backstage. Later he found out that Lou had left the band and he actually had conversed with Doug Yule who was impersonating Reed. Being uncomfortable performing as himself the light bulb went off "I really can invent a persona (a plastic rock star) to perform my material" and Ziggy was born. Other inspiration for Stardust was Vince Taylor, a rocker whom Bowie met that had become deluded to the point that he thought he was Jesus. These and other things went into Ziggy Stardust the Alien Rock Messiah and, as the time was right and the world was ready, it worked.

You have some great commentary here from other viewers - on this song as part of an entire concept album. I hope you will watch the live version of this song available here on youtube (from 1972) in which Bowie actually becomes Ziggy Stardust on stage. Remember he was doing this at a time when the "feel good" music of the '60's was winding down and the folksy "we're in this together" rock of the 70's was beginning. There was simply nobody else doing the type of performance art that Bowie was doing. Though it's out of order in your listening experience of Bowie - this is really the beginning of your journey through his music. I'm glad you have done many Bowie reactions. Thanks for this one.

It's about Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars! I think the harder you try to figure out Bowie's music the more opaque it becomes.

Burrough's cut method for the lyrics. Literally scissors for the sentences. He used it a lot.

"Panic in Detroit" is another great one, and probably the inspiration for quite a few dystopian SF novels and films. That and "The Man Who Sold the World" were my soundtrack for reading science fiction books when I was a growing up.

Bowie had many characters in his early years. Ziggy was a hip rockstar with a band called the spiders from mars

1. he was an early "performance artist" from art school etc 2. He wanted to create a persona and a show to perform, including the lyric narratives 3. It was common at this time to have "themed" albums and therefore each song is part of a whole album. 4. Bowiwe was also known to use random methods to create lyrics, like cutting up magazine text, then lucky dip picking those lines and using them as the line etc.. so maybe it's all random?

Ziggy is Jimi Hendrix. "He played it left hand". "He took it too far - but boy could he play guitar!"

Take a look at his stage presence from 1972 to 75. That was him.

Ziggy and the other stuff was a fantasy world. The thing with Bowie was he went through many different phases, each time with a new sound. Give 'Golden Years' and 'Fashion' a listen; they're totally unrelated.

During the Ziggy Stardust tour Bowie would go through airports with Ziggys make-up on and hairdo.

A classic media move! Create a persona, the video has his wife first row cheering him on. Genius.....especially as a new one on the scene. It worked. Rather ingenious! Of course if one didn't have talent it would fall flat. But it didn't. Welcome to early Bowie! 😽💋🎶
