David Bowie's Space Oddity (covered on guitar & Stylophone)

I've been meaning to do a cover of this since I got my David Bowie Stylophone last Christmas. This song is outside my vocal range and difficult to sing, but I gave it my best shot. I've always loved this 1969 Bowie tune.

This is awesome. You have raised the standard of both your performance and production. Keep it up!

[@musicalmiscellany]

Thanks. I really appreciate that.

Great job! Best cover I've heard of a song that's obviously not just a sing-a-long ditty.

[@musicalmiscellany]

I really appreciate that. thank you. It wasn’t an easy one to arrange, but I’m pretty happy with the result.

[@id.unknown1283]

That was fun! Im guessing you've listened to the isolated stylophone track on the original. Happy sunday

[@musicalmiscellany]

Thanks for checking it out. I was surprised to find out there are actually 2 stylophone tracks on the original recording. They're an octave apart. So David probably played it with both a black stylophone (standard octave) and a white stylophone (treble octave). At times they play the same the same thing (just an octave apart) and at other times they play different things. I developed this arrangement based on the lower pitched Stylophone.

That was so great Kale!!! You did such an awesome job on all the parts and the singing was great. Glad to see you back in your studio !! Loved the Bowie Stylophone. Perfect for this song !! You did your sister proud !!😊

[@musicalmiscellany]

Thanks for checking it out. I really appreciate that. It’s a hard song to sing, but man… Bowie is such a good songwriter.

[@MariaCalfaDePaul]

@@musicalmiscellany well you did great. And agreed he was terrific !

[@drewjaeger2753]

Very impressive version of a fantastic song! This is one of my favorite, if not the #1 favorite, Sunday song you have put out. Hard to beat a great Bowie cover for my Monday morning coffee.

[@musicalmiscellany]

Thanks for tuning in. It’s such a well-written song. Bowie was a great songwriter.

[@garydesrosiers5692]

Morning Kale, nice job 👏,and I must say I love the sg, thanks for sharing as always 👍

[@musicalmiscellany]

That SG is probably my favorite guitar I've ever owned. It sounds so good. Thanks for checking out the vid Gary.

That was out of this world!! I was excited by the title and it didn't disappoint. I love the placement of the alien head in some of the shots, perfect.

[@musicalmiscellany]

I really appreciate that. It was a bit of a stretch for me because Bowie had such great vocal range. In creating this simple 2 part arrangement, it became apparent how much of a master songwriter he was. It's so simple but it sounds very complex with the way he uses intervals and chord tones. Brilliant.

[@midi_in]

@@musicalmiscellany That's interesting.You certainly learn so much by picking someone else's music apart.

[@musicalmiscellany]

@@midi_in Yes indeed. I've learned a lot about how folks phrase their music by learning their songs.

[@bearshield7138]

That was exquisite.
I am very impressed
enjoyed it

[@musicalmiscellany]

Thanks for watching. It was a bit of work to put this one together

[@bearshield7138]
