Tjacksun Well obviously there was audio engineering, but it wouldn't have sounded good if she was a bad singer. Tbh though, the chorus is the only part that sounds good haha. She's better at singing connected lines like that than short lines in the beginning
@@Zabi-S I did some research. Based on his age and username I found his obituary. He is dead. February 5, 1930 - August 25, 2019 He lived to be 89 years old. A nice long life.
Fantastic: Growing up in the 1980s and hearing the original in high school. Even better: Realizing in 2020 that STG has remade this and their version complements the original.
Shiny Toy Guns definitely know how to make their covers, there's no denying that. this version gives me those "chills" every time when the chorus hits.
I use to sing and hum this when the original came out when I was a kid, never knew the name of the song or who sung it, just heard it on the radio now and then, all these years later and a random click brings me to this cover. Today just got a lot better.
I call this song "The Astronaut Song". When ever I hear of an Astronaut passing away I listen to this song. When Neil Armstrong passed away I think I broke the repeat button!
Yes. Of the two million five hundred eighty six thousand two hundred and twenty people who have watched this video, you are the only one who gets chills. Congratulations.
Charles Garrison kerbal space program. Or that episode of Archer where Cyril was piloting the space shuttle and Archer and Cyril were fighting over landing the Shuttle.
Charles Garrison yeah but these guys didnt come home, thats what the song was about, also if anything goes wrong they cut you off from any communication and abondon you up there its a rick to go to space that i am not taking untill they make major imporvments, space and stuff isnt even 100 years so its a fairly new idea and planes, not even 105 years old yet this is all new and i dont care what anyone says, im never getting on a plane or rollercoaster or anything of that nature, except helicopters, cause their bad ass, and apcache
You should try the one with the guy singing it it's a hundred percent better I can listen to him 10 times in a row and not get bored this shit though scares the hell out of me lmao
Fun fact! To lighten the mood of this song, you can just imagine Major Tom is re-entering the atmosphere and this is an early test flight into space. Radio broadcasts cut out during re-entry of the planet's atmosphere. Plasma also appears whilst re-entry, so this could be why Major Tom thinks he's going to die. Or he might just boil alive idk. "Across the stratosphere a final message" means the message was transmitted in the stratosphere, however prior to this it mentions they are in orbit, meaning he's got to be re-entering the Earth's atmosphere. He's even so confident about coming home, where else would he be going?
clear things up:David Bowie = "Space Oddity" Peter Schilling = "Major Tom: Coming home" (original title translated from German "Major Tom: Totally disconnected")This is a cover of the German guy's song.
@Metropod, Part#1-Space Oddity (David Bowie), Part#2-Rocket Man (Sir Elton John), Part#3-Major Tom (Peter Schilling), and Part#4-Female Major Tom (Shiny Toy Guns).
peter schilling is a genius for creating this song and i usually just love the 80's originals but i just listened to their cover of burnin for you and this band does a great job with these 80's covers, genuinely good i think
My math teacher in middle school played this all the time and it still gives me chills I have goosebumps right now. If you actually just listen to the lyrics it's scary...
Happy to see I’m not the only one who heard this on a car commercial and was intrigued enough to go look for it. Did that maybe 10 years ago and been coming back ever since….EARTH BELOW US…DRIFTING, FALLING!
Damn I have spent soooo long looking for this song. Only had a little part of it stuck in my head from years ago. I have finally found it and it looks like it isn't even on spotify. GREAT SONG, LOVE THIS VERSION!
I just saw Katherine Johnson just passed away at 101. She was depicted in the movie “Hidden Figures”. She was a “human computer” who confirmed launch trajectories who even the Astronauts trusts more then the new mechanical computers. Her math and calculations are the basis of launches today. She never physically left the earth, but her spirit soars with every launch today. RIP Katherine Johnson. You are now truly at home now in the stars.
Carlton Thegrump It’s a movie actually. They over expatriated a few things.....but her struggle was real. She had to fight for her rights and respect. All the human computers did. Especially the African American ones.
(1) Space Oddity by David Bowie, (2) Ashes to Ashes by David Bowie, (3) Major Tom by Peter Schilling, (4) Hallo Spaceboy by David Bowie (5) Blackstar by David Bowie.
Me too. I remember in August 2009 I flew out to Toronto and got a brand new Lincoln MKS for a rental, as soon as I got on the freeway I'd connected my phone and THIS was the song it went to. So there I was, open freeway at about 11 at night, a brand new Lincoln, and flicks of lightning off in the night sky in the distance. One of the coolest moments I've ever lived, and should be said one of the quickest times I'd ever made it to my mom's from the airport. :D
The first time I listened to this song was with my 5th grade teacher, she played it to the whole class and made us learn it. She wanted us to perform it at our schools class talent show but that never happened. Whenever I listen to this song reminds me of that year.
Yeah. I heard the opening notes and knew immediately it was a Major Tom cover. I was horrified that anyone had had the nerve, but damn, 30 seconds later I was searching for the full version. Still love it.
I don't think I'm the only one who thinks that there are certain songs that fit on the radio and others that really don't. I think this is one of the songs that fit on a radio.
I can't Believe All these Comments that "This Is A jam, it's my first time Listening to it, wow what A great Song, I've been looking for this Song" I'm 49,,It's Amazing how A song to me "A heard A Million Times,People Now go Crazy" And it's Performed by Some Girl who sounds like Shit,Can't Dance,And has the same Pretty face & Played out hair like A Million other woman singers,And Because it's A great Song,She thinks she Sounds good!!!(Sing this song in the Shower & you'll sound Just as Good,She Added Nothing from her Original & is getting all this Attention...)When they Played "Major Tom" in the 80's,,It was like the Dance Floor Went off into Space...
The story of the music videos featuring him is that Tom goes into orbit, and everything's fine at first. Then something malfunctions and ground control loses contact with his capsule. Unable to regain control, he manages to say a few last words to his wife as he plummets back to Earth and is killed.
It's the unofficial sequel to "A Space Oddity" by David Bowie. The official single, at least for Bowie, is "Ashes to Ashes". Given the choice, this is a much more faithful song to the original
If anyone is a video game fan and has played Metal Gear Solid 3. The main game designer is a huge David Bowie fan, so when The Fury kills himself after losing to you. He says "I'm coming home" before smashing himself into the ceiling.
I get that frisson feeling during the acoustic guitar break in David Bowie Space Oddity, and in the “this is my home - I’m coming home” in this song. Big changes in the mind, outlook, attitude of the narrator at those points in the two songs and it does have a strong effect on me, for sure!
Loved this song when I heard it as a kid. When I actually read the lyrics, I actually realized what it was about... the emotion behind this really sticks to me. I never picked up on how morbid the song is.
+Durbs012 In the original language (German) it"s even more "morbid". The English lyrics are tame compared to it. For example the final words by Major Tom in it are "I'm starting feeling cold..." (meaning he's just dieing) No word of "Coming home" whatsoever...
I remember looking everywhere for this song that i heard in a car commercial when i was like 10. Im 21 now and i finally found it watching the umbrella academy!
Huston, we have launch. The Dragon has successfully launched with crew for the first time off US soil in about 9 years. In this chaotic time, some good news. 😭🥰🚀
She was born to sing this chorus.
Harv72b so true...
off key sure
chorus doesnt sound auto'd
Tjacksun Well obviously there was audio engineering, but it wouldn't have sounded good if she was a bad singer. Tbh though, the chorus is the only part that sounds good haha. She's better at singing connected lines like that than short lines in the beginning
I think they made that Major Tom remix only for her voice, awesome combination :) 3:04 ... Also the strings are so pretty... good job at all.
I remember first hearing this song in a car commercial, fell in love with it immediately. Still love it years later
same here! it was for a Mercedes or something like that
+SweetTeaPi3 It was a Lincoln commercial. That commercial made me hunt down this song because I liked it so much.

it from Lincoln MKZ, i buy my MKZ just for this commercial, i fell in love of that car when i saw it on tv

There's very few occasions where I prefer the remix to the original one. This is one of them.
I think it's an occasion to use the meme with the little girl saying, "Why not have both?"
I listen to both versions, and they both make me happy.
TBH anything from Peter Schilling makes me happy.
what is the original?
Peter Schilling's version.
Let's just say this is on par with the original. :)
The Oooohs at the end of the chorus of the song are seriously euphoric. It’s like I’m being whisked away to another reality of dreams. So beautiful.
Fantastic: Growing up in the 1980s and hearing the original in high school. Even better: Realizing in 2020 that STG has remade this and their version complements the original.

this version gives me those "chills" every time when the chorus hits.
i was terrified by the original peter schilling version as a kid and now as an adult i can confirm that this cover is infinitely scarier
Both were GREAT! It's just an oddly awesome song about catastrophic equipment failure.
LOVE this cover
This is way better
LOL
Hauntingly Beautiful!!!!!
Literally have been listening to this on repeat for several hours.
***** i'm doing the same thing right now AND screaming the words out loud. with my terrible voice.
Some say they're still listening now
Mate. I’ve been listening to this song for almost ten years
Hey that’s me right now
#metoo 🥰
3:40 gives me chills every single time
Like the mission after all the struggle finally come to an end.
I love this song, from the catchy melodies to the distant electronic sound that starts the whole thing off.
Lo
My dad would play this in the car when it was dark outside as a kid. I remember the warmth of the car and being asleep. Oh boy the nostalgia
Same thing we just moved to Georgia 3yrars ago and this came on at like 11 pm and I never knew what song it was until about 7 months ago
damn that means I'm technically old enough to be your dad. first time for everything lol
So did mine.
Am I really that old?!!
Hard to believe your dad was present given your choice of pfp.
Today, Major Tom has gone home.

Into the stardust.
To Mercury ;)

She was blessed with an AMAZING voice, right pick for this song... it gave me chills and goosebumps ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That would be: Sisely Treasure
Amen
My dad always used to play this in his car. I completely forgot about this song. It’s so nostalgic now
Does anyone get chills during the chorus? Or am I weird?
I call this song "The Astronaut Song".
When ever I hear of an Astronaut passing away I listen to this song.
When Neil Armstrong passed away I think I broke the repeat button!
Indeed brother.
Yes. Of the two million five hundred eighty six thousand two hundred and twenty people who have watched this video, you are the only one who gets chills. Congratulations.
My nose starts bleeding a little bit, but that's its
Nah man, there must be lots of other pusscakes out there who also "feel chills during the chorus".
I believe I hard this in a car commercial maybe 5 years ago, not kidding.
me too it was a lincoln commercial.
Alex Max you're right, the lincoln mkz
OneAndyOnly my mind immediately read "lincoln mkz" in the ad narrator's voice
MarcoFAlfaro yeah , that was a good abstract style commercial, havent seen any like that anymore.
I remember hearing it in the commercial but couldn't figure out what it was until I heard it again in breaking bad
Love the the song, both versions of it. Call me crazy but in my head I feel like the lead singer is an A.I. up in space in control of a space station.
I'm imaging a space shuttle on reentry and the band jamming out in the cargo hold
Charles Garrison kerbal space program. Or that episode of Archer where Cyril was piloting the space shuttle and Archer and Cyril were fighting over landing the Shuttle.
In control ready to end mankind with a few satellites full of nukes.
