    Lyrics:
    Ground Control to Major Tom
    Ground Control to Major Tom
    Take your protein pills
    and put your helmet on
    Ground Control to Major Tom
    Commencing countdown,
    engines on
    Check ignition
    and may God's love be with you
    Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff
    This is Ground Control
    to Major Tom
    You've really made the grade
    And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
    Now it's time to leave the capsule
    if you dare
    This is Major Tom to Ground Control
    I'm stepping through the door
    And I'm floating
    in a most peculiar way
    And the stars look very different today
    For here
    Am I sitting in a tin can
    Far above the world
    Planet Earth is blue
    And there's nothing I can do
    Though I'm past
    one hundred thousand miles
    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
    Ground Control to Major Tom
    Your circuit's dead,
    there's something wrong
    Can you hear me, Major Tom?
    Can you hear me, Major Tom?
    Can you hear me, Major Tom?
    Can you....
    Here am I floating
    round my tin can
    Far above the Moon
    Planet Earth is blue
    And there's nothing I can do
    About David Bowie:
    David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, "Heroes,” Let's Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie at 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

    He actually took a song and made it sound and feel like an astronaut who's floating helplessly through the void of space into nothingness, and at the same time, somehow made it a perfect metaphor for every day life. What an amazing piece of art.

      As a reminder, an extract from 'Ashes to ashes':
      Ashes to ashes, funk to funky

      Strung out in heaven's high
      Hitting an all-time low

    This song will go to infinity, eternity, and beyond. And I was a teenager when it was released. I've lived in the best era of all time. No Great Depression, no huge wars, no huge plagues, and before the current digital technology that will always be with us. I am thankful and fortunate beyond my poor effort to describe my gratitude to the Lord 🌞
