🎸 David Bowie - Space Oddity ROCK version!

I have always thought Space Oddity by David Bowie is a cool song compositionally. Bowies music and lyrics take you on a journey that ends wrongly. That doesn't really show up in David´s original video from the late 60s, hence my twist on that part. I also imagined a slightly heavier (rock) version (sorry to all the David Bowie fans), so a redo of Space Oddity was necesary ;-). I particularly like the interaction of Major Tom and ground control, and how the words hear and here interact upon loosing contact. Hope the astronaut finds his way home. ;-) Anyway, hope you enjoy David Bowie - Space Oddity ROCK Version!
Original artist: David Bowie
Original album: David Bowie (1969)
Original track: Space Oddity
Arrangements: Your´s truly
Ground control to Major Tom
Ground control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven)
Commencing countdown, engines on (six, five, four, three)
Check ignition, and may God's love be with you (two, one, lift off)
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 the 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?
