David Bowie composed Space Oddity in 1969. Forty-four years later, Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield recorded his rendition aboard the International Space Station, therefore making it the first music video shot in space. It's taken me years to do a decent David "Starman" Bowie 'Space Oddity' cover! I've musically captured the melancholic thoughts and sounds of staying up late at night. For this cover, I've blended elements from the original 'Space Oddity' recording and combined them with my rendition of the melody.

Lyrics

astronautThis is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
Can I please get back inside? if I may
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much
She knows

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows what I must do
And I think my life on Earth is nearly through

Ground Control to Major Tom
You're off your course
Direction's wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you "Here am I sitting in tin can?
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do"
