Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on CZcams, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on CZcams. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on CZcams, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

Only the Beatles, the Stones and Dylan are in the same league as Bowie in the Music History........Bowie is from out of this world
Now he is a "Starman", watching us from above, and planet Earth is really blue. "Let's Dance" is another gem from him.
This song had probably the most unique cover, by Commander Chris Hadfield, recorded in the International Space Station.
This song was way before it’s time, Space Travel, going to the moon was big in the 60’s and 70’s
LET'S DANCE is another great one by DAVID BOWIE
Space Oddity is such a cinematic song, all the different sounds and lyrics take you to the place where the astronaut is, you can feel it all and almost see it in your mind, which is why I say it's "Very cinematic"..
A real Masterpiece!
He does say "wife" in the song.
Yes this one was first released in the UK before all the space talk became familiar, also we have to consider whether the actual commands would scan in the song. When it came out the sound affects, with the stylophone were pretty mind blowing at the time. It was re- released in the 70s and did rather better. Bowie had achieved fame by that point. Another big hit of his is Starman. That's the one that really launched his career.
Glad you enjoyed Bowie, he's amazing. He has such a huge catalog, it's hard to start with suggestions. One thing about him, he went through may different phases and stages in his stage persona and his music changes with those changes as well. So with Bowie, you never know what you're going to get. But you know it's going to be spectacular. Next I'd suggest maybe Young Americans and Fame (with John Lennon), from his R&B soul phase,
Golden Years and Station to Station, from his Thin White Duke era, and Starman and Suffragette City from his Ziggy Stardust album. But then there are so so many others!
Great suggestions.
Thanks, it was hard to pick just a few suggestions, there are so many!@@intothesunset3
There are! I made a list once of my 500 favorite songs of all time...Bowie wrote about 100 of them! (and I love most of his other hundreds of songs too)@@ohfour-seven6228
Such a gem...
My suggestion to you would be to get into the Bowie catalog chronology. You still have " The man who sold the world " and "Hunky Dory ", my personal favorite, before you even get to "Ziggy Stardust ". I think it would be better than jumping around. You will be able to watch his career unfold with all the twist and turns involved!
I look forward to watching!
"Hunky Dory" is my favorite!..Great album!
A few years later, Bowie followed with a sequel, "Ashes to Ashes", which indeed paints a very bleak portrait of Major Tom.
Keyboards played by Rick Wakeman then a session musician latter to Join YES also collaborated with David on some latter tracks. Major tom reappeared on Davids Track Ashes to Ashes and also on his last Album Dark Star
Major Tom also reappeared in his 1995 song "Hallo Spaceboy" (the version with the Pet Shop Boys).
This came out in 1969. David Bowie was an incredible artist.
Awesome song...
Love how you embrace the old tunes,,
a timeless classic...perfect intro to Bowie mate....peace
I discovered this at the town library in 78 seventh grade because it was by jr high and high school. I probably wore the track off the record )
and on the keys: Rick Wakeman pre Yes
The song is much more than the lyrics
Spot on interpretation, great reaction as per ùsual. He DOES say my wife, not my man. Just to clarify. David Bowie is/was a legend. He rocked the colored hair, crazy outfits and his eyes, which one is blue, one is brown... naturally. He wrote and sang some excellent material. Maybe try a few more of Bowie's songs, as it is all different to me. "Changes" is one of his best songs. Also, "Ziggy Stardust" tells a cool English type song, about the character he used to portray himself. Fun fact: He married super model Iman Iand and has one daughter with her, Zoey. Yes, Zoey Bowie. He plays a "Starman" in the movie "The Man Who Fell to Earth, also. I could go on, I won't. Thanks for a great channel!!
✌ Jodi/Child of the 60s
Small correction-- his and Iman's daughter is Lexi (Alexandria Zahra Jones). His son (with ex-wife Angie Bowie) is film director Duncan Jones, known when he was young as Zowie Bowie.
Woot! Rick Wakeman -of course you know as keyboardist for YES-contributed to this recording of the album ! He knew it was going be something special !❤
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥one of my favorites!
Such a timely reaction since we got the capsule back yesterday from the asteroid Bennu. 1 billion mile journey and it will be fun to see what is in the capsule that was collected from the surface of the asteroid. I really love this song and Bowie was an absolute genius and quite the chameleon when it comes to the music he wrote and produced for the world. A space ballad, rather unique and so Bowie.
Obviously David Bowie is from a distant planet in outer space. Write about things you know. And he did, beautifully.
Great analysis to the White Duke of conceptual rock/ performance art. In the 70s we could always count on Bowie to give us something new and fantastic in his musical styles. There was a semi part 2 to Space Oddity in the 80s by new wave artist Pete Schilling called "Major Tom". It too is a great song!
Bowie's sequel to Space Oddity is "Ashes to Ashes."
@bookhouseboy280 I said what i said. Major Tom by Pete Schilling was a SEMI part 2, I didn't say it was a SEQUEL. Give it a listen if you haven't yet.
@@bookhouseboy280 Here's the link for Major Tom....

@@bearballin I wasn't disagreeing. You are correct and as I recall (haven't heard it in decades), "4-3-2-1 Earth below us / Drifting falling / Floating weightless / Calling home."
Thanks, Critical - a classic Bowie he was a unique genius... so many more.. in this theme, though... I really love "Star Man"... appreciate your reaction...
Big big song here love you
Great song that I remember from when it was released! Not sure about the commenter that talked about “mistakes” being things like “ground control” as opposed to “Mission Control” or “spaceship” or ”Major Tom”, as I’m not sure how they would have said those things in England back then. Maybe they thought Bowie was American? I’ve never even considered it.
The song is also a metaphor for addiction
In this song David's wonderful at painting an amazing picture with his lyrics accompanied with musical effects that perfectly convey the effect that he wanted us to feel. He's got many other great songs to discover.
Bowie wrote in 1969 inspired by the US landing the first man on the moon.
I had a feeling you would eventually do some Bowie man. His discography is pretty big, hell of a talent. Let's Dance is a catchy tune with SRV playing guitar!
The orchestrations were played by Rick Wakeman right before he joined Yes.
Just crazy 🤯 Wakeman is a legend
Great reaction, thank you!😊 David Bowie is one of my two favorite singer/songwriters (I saw my other favorite, Neil Finn, perform this song in tribute to Bowie shortly after Bowie died). It was partly inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey, and was first released in July 1969 to coincide with the Apollo 11 moon landing. Eleven years later he released a sequel to it, "Ashes to Ashes" (which has an iconic video).
You might be interested in a Wings of Pegasus video about Bowie's singing in "Space Oddity," called "David Bowie vs. Auto Tune" (not to react to, but just to see sometime)...I found it pretty fascinating.
This was really a must-hear! Very unique talent here, enjoyable ride. Thank you 😁
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it😊@@ShawnSalvadori
A David Bowie and Neil Finn fan myself!!❤
@@jodimae5793 😊❤
Check out Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield's cover of the song done from the ISS. Well worth a reaction as well.
I second that suggestion!
👍👍👍👍
❤
Released shortly before Apollo 13....a real prophesy!
Released shortly before Apollo II, in 1969.
Glam rock days, good ol Ziggy Stardust.
Your boy Rick Wakeman plays on this cut.
You beat me to it! Dang!
Wow, what? That's amazing! 😮🤩
@@ShawnSalvadori Wakeman did a couple hundred sessions around that time. He also plays piano on Cat Stevens' "Morning Has Broken," and does some fantastic work with Al Stewart on the albums "Orange" and "Past, Present, Future."
Not vocabulary mistakes. I think more poetic license really. Great reaction.
I don't know what kind of lyrics site you're looking at, but all you have to do is listen. He does not stutter and is very clear. "tell my wife I love her very much, she knows"
I'm guessing he looked at the main Google lyrics page for the song, which has the wrong lyrics (from a 1977 cover version, instead of Bowie's original).
Indeed. It is very clear.
It is...tell my WIFE..
Should have seen Long Beach when he played there in 72. Heard the song by then BUT not what Bowie looked like or how the fans all emulated him. I was 17 and from a small farming community in the mid west. And all I could do was laugh at the made up fans walking around in make up and looking damn funny to me.
Wife is correct
I love Space Oddity, it is my favorite by David! What I love next up would be David's "Blue Jean."
I think he wrote that piece in 1969?
Yes--it was first released in 1969 (hit number five in the UK), then reissued in 1972 (became his first US hit), then again in 1975 as part of a "maxi-single" with "Changes" and "Velvet Goldmine" (this time it hit number one in the UK).
No it said wife...lyrics as printed seem to be wrong? Or am I? If someone else knows...
It's tell my wife I lover her very much. A lot of these song facts online are wrong. The song is about his drug addiction. He did a sequel called Ashes to Ashes in 1980.
From what I've read, it's also about alienation and isolation. Bowie's producer Tony Visconti said (according to an article in FarOutMagazine) “David said it was actually a song about isolation and he used the astronaut in space as the metaphor. The song was written in that spirit, being isolated in this little capsule, but seeing the Universe from your window.”
@@intothesunset3I tend to agree. I'm not sure Bowie was that into drugs in 1969.
If you want a real experience check out the late great Tommy Bolin. He was the guitarist for The James Gang and also Deep Purple. He died at age 25. His music contribution was so important that multi big named artists did a tribute c.d. of His music. Listen to his song Post Toastie . Great guitar work. It was from the late 70's
It is wife, not man. You were right.
I always beleived the first release of this song flopped. I am not sure if that is true.
Wiki says: "It initially sold poorly but soon reached number five in the UK, becoming Bowie's first and only chart hit for another three years. A 1972 reissue by RCA Records was Bowie's first US hit and was promoted with a new music video filmed by Mick Rock. Another 1975 reissue as part of a maxi-single became Bowie's first UK number-one single."
@@intothesunset3 thanks
Whatever source you found that quoted the lyric as "tell my man I love him so" must have been spoofed by some radical gender activist. Believe me - I've heard this song hundreds of times going back to it's original release date and the lyric is absolutely "wife" and "her". This crap pisses me off!
The main lyrics page on Google seems to be using the lyrics from a 1977 cover version of this song by jazz musician David Matthews, which had a woman on lead vocal (not that that should matter), in which the lyrics were "tell my man I love him."
@@intothesunset3Thanks for that info - that explains the confusion. I hereby retract my supposition that radical gender activists are responsible for all of Mans' woes.
