Major Tom

最近,David Bowieの名曲 “The Man Who Sold The World”, “Space Oddity” を繰り返し聴いている.1973年RCA シングル盤のコンビ.前衛気味なのがいい感じ.この内 “Space Oddity” は,

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirt you wear

 

というしょうもないくだりから,

 

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-

[Chorus]
-Here am I floating 'round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

 

とドラスティックな変化をするのが好き.そして物語は “Ashes To Ashes”, “Hallo Spaceboy”, “New Killer Star”, そして最期の “Blackstar” に続く.
