    Lyrics:
    Ground Control to Major Tom
    Ground Control to Major Tom
    Take your protein pills
    and put your helmet on
    Ground Control to Major Tom
    Commencing countdown,
    engines on
    Check ignition
    and may God's love be with you
    Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff
    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 a 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?
    Can you hear me, Major Tom?
    Can you hear me, Major Tom?
    Can you....
    Here am I floating
    round my tin can
    Far above the Moon
    Planet Earth is blue
    And there's nothing I can do
    About David Bowie:
    David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, "Heroes,” Let's Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie at 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

    Major Tom Stafford was a classmate and friend of my father at the Naval Academy. Both flew the F-86 Saber Jet in the Air Force.
    The men of that generation are those of impeccable honor, unimaginable intellect and the highest character. They make we of the next generation look like degenerates, even though most of us are quite honorable.
    My Dad is almost 94 years old and is so very, very proud to have been a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and an F-86 fighter pilot. I've met many of his classmates over the years, including several who are recipients of the Naval Cross, and I can tell you that these men were for real.
    God Bless them!

    “Tell my wife I love her very much”

      N Q, I wonder what he means when he sings that line. "Tell my wife I lover her very much, she knows" Does he mean "she knows" he is gay? Or does he mean, "she knows" I love her? Any thoughts on that anyone? Dusty the 2nd.

    David was the real reason why my boyfriend's name is Jareth. Named after David's character in Labyrinth. My man is so sad right now but like me we will never forget how David touched our lives. R.I.P Bowie our lovely starman.

      +film79 Why does the reason have to be fake..? His Father named him after David's character in Labyrinth so David would be the reason why he did it.

    This song is a MASTERPIECE! If you just sing it, you WILL just access most of the upper ballons of your lungs, go out of note and feel like floating, but then, you can't come back and keep singing. One must pay attention to it. Masterpiece. PERFECT!
