    He actually took a song and made it sound and feel like an astronaut who's floating helplessly through the void of space into nothingness, and at the same time, somehow made it a perfect metaphor for every day life. What an amazing piece of art.

      He was one of a kind!Each and everyone of his songs he sang sounded totally different from the others. He was absolutely a true artist in every sense of the word. A musical genius.
      He wrote the song ( The Man Who Sold The World ), which Curt Cobain sang beautifully, on Nirvana‘s unplugged album.
      What a wonderfully talented man David Bowie was we will never have another one like him.

    I woke up this morning hearing part of this song playing in my head. I got my phone out and googled "here I am sitting in a tin can" to see if I could find the song. Tears came to my eyes and I felt at peace. My father passed away last month and for some reason this song resonates with me. I have been so down since he left and to be honest quite lost and lonely. I'm not sure why I am sharing these feelings here, but talking about my dad makes me feel better. I've never felt this way in my life. I'm 42 and my father was 75 years old. Everyone tells me it will get better and it's normal to grief but it hasn't yet. The only thing that has helped me from being so upset I'm sorry to say has been drugs. I know it's just numbing me and it's not the right thing to do. I hope anyone reading this can relate. Life is so short and unfair at times but I know deep down there's a way through the mess. I was happy once and will be again at some point. Don't ever give up on yourself, you'll make it through the mess. Love you Dad

      This song and the movie The sailor who fell from grace with the sea always trigger thoughts and memories of the sacrifices sailor Airlines’s pilots, and others who spend their life’s on the road while making a living. Being away from love ones who love them. From boys dreaming of fame and glory and men who decide that love and family are more important than anything else we can do with our manhood.

    And in this song, David Bowie revealed himself to be a poet. You can just picture the lyrics in your head. He was in his early 20s when he wrote this, yet was so mature. There are not even 30-something-year-old songwriters today who are at Bowie's songwriting level. RIP, Mr Stardust. Your music will continue to stand the test of time.

Our relatively short voyages into space are truly in space ships not unlike a fragile tin can. The astronaut, Tom, is at a distance from Earth far enough to feel a profound sense of being separated from everything he has known and he is completely aware that "there is nothing" he can do to guarantee his safe return to his beautiful, blue planet.

    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
    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

      I feel the same, and I'm 70. In my last (and first) novel I made use of some lines: "Commencing countdown. Engines on." and "Check ignition and may God's love be with you." In my opinion Ziggy's song is more optimistic and sanguine than most people say.

    Lyrics: "Space Oddity" - David Bowie.
    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?
    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. END.

My daughter is 27 now but she was raised in a family of musicians on her father's side so she was exposed to everything from southern rock, classic rock, punk, metal you name it. I remember when she was about 6 or 7 her favorite song was Bodies by Drowning Pool. She used to always say the bodies song. I couldn't believe it the first time she asked for me to put it on. Cherish these times bc they are truly gone way too soon

    It's been over two years, Bowie.
    We miss you.

    David Bowie is the only celebrity I've ever cried over, his music is so important to me. The Labyrinth was my childhood, my favourite movie ever. David Bowie was a true blessing.

      Mackenzie S I was the same way, every time I spent the night at my grandmothers house we watched The Labyrinth. I grew up listening to Bowie. He is by far the greatest. (In my opinion)
