"Space Oddity" was the first track on David Bowie's self-titled second studio album (released in 1969) and became his first single to chart in the UK. The song was inspired by Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film "2001: A Space Odyssey", and was released only a few days before the launch of the Apollo 11 mission (the first moon landing with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin). "Space Oddity" was famously performed by astronaut Chris Hadfield on the International Space Station, and was also played in space by Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster that had been carried by a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. "Space Oddity" is a song with a remarkable history, and a wonderful piece to play on piano!Here are the full lyrics to David Bowie's "Space Oddity":Ground Control to Major TomGround Control to Major TomTake your protein pills and put your helmet onGround Control to Major TomCommencing countdown, engines onCheck ignition and may God's love be with youTen, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Lift offThis is Ground Control to Major TomYou've really made the gradeAnd the papers want to know whose shirts you wearNow it's time to leave the capsule if you dareThis is Major Tom to Ground ControlI'm stepping through the doorAnd I'm floating in a most peculiar wayAnd the stars look very different todayFor hereAm I sitting in a tin canFar above the worldPlanet Earth is blueAnd there's nothing I can doThough I'm past one hundred thousand milesI'm feeling very stillAnd I think my spaceship knows which way to goTell my wife I love her very much she knowsGround Control to Major TomYour circuit's dead, there's something wrongCan 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 canFar above the MoonPlanet Earth is blueAnd there's nothing I can do This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
