behind the lyrics
Coinciding with the USA's Apollo 11 mission to the moon, "Space Oddity" is a classic rock ballad by British singer/songwriter David Bowie — his first hit. Released in July of 1969, Space Oddity drew in listeners through its gripping story of its protagonist, Major Tom, as he launches into space before losing radio contact with Ground Control back on Earth, and floats off into the realm of the unknown.
But is that really what the song is about?
Today on Lyristoric we'll peel back the Major Tom metaphor to find out Space Oddity's true song meaning.
