It's from the film "Love You Til Tuesday" which was at one point (maybe still is) available on DVD. I have a nice PAL copy (576 lines in the picture instead of 480).
David Bowie was actually a big fan of A Clockwork Orange. At this point though, the film wasn’t released. So perhaps Stanley Kubrick took inspiration from this music video?
I'm so glad we finally have an HD version of this video. The practical effects of the 60's/70's are really cool to watch, especially in HD. This is definitely my favorite video for this song.
Remember when I first saw the video on TV, it was in October. My mom and I had a dispute that day, she had a new relationship, I hated the guy. I felt really bad that day, cried. And then I saw the video. I already was a fan, but not for long, maybe some days in. I smiled the whole time watching it. He truly helped me during that time period. EDIT: I SAW THE VIDEO IN 2018, I'M NOT AN GRANDMA YET.
@@DJDOMME2908 You don't need to. The time is finally over, it was a long battle. They broke up after 2/3 months of dating. My mom me the fault to everything at first, now we are ok.
I think this song’s about Major Tom losing grips on Reality as he realizes how small our existence is, and how the vastness of the universe swallows it.
Yep. I've heard an interpretation that states that Major Tom achieves Nirvana from being lost in space. A complete let go of the whole material world with nothing holding him back and nothing keeping him captive. Free of all.
Imagine being famous for that long? Not that he was overly famous at this time, but still more famous than most of us will ever experience even in those early days. What a crazy life. All the sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll. I wonder what he's doing now.
It sounds like the version for Bowie at the Beeb(early tracks from 1968-1971) rather than the album version Space Oddity album (1972), which has the more serious sound and much more layered.
Sixty years ago. Wow. Imagine if you told him in 1969 that millions of people would watch this on demand anytime anywhere, some at their homes, but others with the tiny sci-fi supercomputers in their pockets. And at a quality high enough to be able make out pores even on a face as smooth as his. And this is just the beginning.
Incredible! I'd love to know more about what went into the making of this. It seems like Bowie was able to do so much with with so little here, and to great effect.
Try being 19 and a huge David Bowie / 70s/80s music fan. You are very lucky to be a part of the generation who witnessed Bowie make history from his earliest successes.
This deserves so many more views this was the version I first saw. My 5th grade introduced me to David Bowie. She showed the whole class this video and Life On Mars and everyone laughed at how he looked with his makeup and orange hair but I was so mesmerized. I thought he was beautiful. Ever since then I’ve been obsessed with him. I remember when I found out he passed I was in 6th grade and I was heart broken. I always had a crush on him not gonna lie💀. I’m 15 now and I still love him and his music. This video deserves SO many more views. This video and this song is iconic and it’s childhood to me. I’m forever grateful to my teacher for introducing me to him.
This song made me tear up. To think that this young man changed so many lives with his music, including mine. R.I.P David Bowie As long as there is still music you will be remembered.
I still remember when I first heard this song. I would look at the sky and think about space. This man was amazing in every single way and his music means everything to me. I still can't believe he's not with us anymore. May you rest in peace Sir David Bowie, wherever you are.
I have loved this song for many years, but have never seen this video! David was one of a kind, reinventing himself so many times! Weird and wonderful but also magnificent.
This is the first time ive seen the original ! In good quality too! I'm so glad this came back for me to see after his passing this is one of my absolute favorites from Bowie !
It was recorded on Film, so the quality scales very well into digital media... most video footage from the old days was low qual and blurry because the screens and computers couldnt handle it.
GnArnold mostly due to VHS, DVD and TV broadcasting not being capable of holding - transmitting much data so the full quality would get compressed. But by scanning in 2K or 4K the original film the full quality can be maintained if stored on a Blu-Ray or 4K Blu-Ray.

This is probably one of the best music videos I have ever seen. Simply but incredibly emotional and truly inspiring. I started to love this song the moment I heard it for the first time. Thank you David for this beautiful piece of music. I miss you⚡❤️
Happy Birthday to this incredible human specimen. Indeed an oddity, as there’ll never be another like him. You mean more to me than you’ll ever know (unfortunately). Thank you Bowie, thank you so much.
En julio de 1969, Bowie era un joven de 22 años de rubia melena que trataba de hacerse un nombre en la escena musical londinense. Hasta ese momento había militado en un par de grupos que no alcanzaron el éxito y había publicado un álbum titulado con su nombre, que tampoco triunfó. Pero todo cambió con el lanzamiento de"Space Oddity", la canción que transformó su carrera musical. El single en versión mono de "Space Oddity" publicado en el Reino Unido el 11 de julio de 1969, sólo cinco días antes de que el Apolo 11 despegara con destino a la Luna, transformó su vida. Le abrió el camino a la publicación en noviembre de un álbum con un gran compañía bajo la producción de Tony Visconti, quien colaboraría con Bowie hasta la muerte del músico en 2016. El disco se abría con una versión ligeramente diferente de "Space Oddity", en estéreo y un poco más larga de la original. El álbum, que se había publicado solo con el nombre de David Bowie, acabó adoptando el nombre de su canción estrella, que sería reeditada en 1975 y, entonces sí, alcanzó el número uno. La canción se relaciona con la llegada del hombre a la Luna, pero su autor se inspiró sobre todo en "2001 A Space Odyssey", que Stanley Kubrick había estrenado un año antes y que Bowie devoró bajo los efectos de algunas sustancias. El protagonista de la canción, el comandante Tom, es un astronauta en una misión espacial fallida, que recuerda más a la tripulación de la película de Kubrick que a los miembros del Apolo 11. David Bowie publicó "Space Oddity" y su vida estuvo marcada desde entonces por una pasión por el espacio que mantuvo hasta el final de sus días. Dos años después de ese viaje, su particular carrera espacial le llevó a Marte, con la monumental "Life On Mars?", incluida en el álbum "Hunky Dory" Y luego se transformó en un alienígena llamado Ziggy Stardust, que visitó la Tierra acompañado por su banda, Las Estrellas de Marte. Juntos firmaron en 1973 uno de los álbumes fundamentales de la música moderna, con himnos siderales como "Starman". El comandante Tom de "Space Oddity" reapareció en 1980 para despedirse en "Ashes to Ashes", otro clásico de Bowie, quien después recordaría a su personaje junto a los Pet Shop Boys en la remezcla de su tema "Hallo Spaceboy". Las referencias al espacio se mantuvieron en la obra de Bowie hasta el final. En el inquietante vídeo de "Blackstar", la canción que dio título a su último álbum -publicado solo unas semanas antes de su muerte- puede verse el cadáver de un astronauta. Bowie nunca dejó de mirar el cielo. Tras su muerte, el 10 de enero de 2016, su esposa, Iman, le escribió: "Vuela hacia las estrellas, mi querido David". Música independiente novedades.
Regina Falangie people in the 60s probably just thought he was another person trying to make it, but then he turned into David Bowie 🥺 a revolutionary man who literally created glam rock.
@@dejahmahina david bowie looks like he was from 2084. Im profoundly perplexed by the fact that he was on the rise in the 1960’s. How was he so ahead of his timeZ
I am watching Moonage Daydream. Absolutely brilliant. And one of the reasons I love David so much is because he did not want to die. He did not OD on nothing, cancer killed him. He was so in love with Iman Who says she will never marry again…
What an incredible artist! In the literal sense of the word - Art. As an engineer I had never respected the arts before, but the depth and creativity in Bowie's music is unfathomable!
When Bowie died it was like something inside me died, he was someone that I thought had the power to live forever. Not a day goes by I don’t think about him and his influence on me.

I looked at it and it's just upscaled from the PAL DVD of the film "Love You Til Tuesday" instead of an HD transfer from the film.

La canción se relaciona con la llegada del hombre a la Luna, pero su autor se inspiró sobre todo en "2001 A Space Odyssey", que Stanley Kubrick había estrenado un año antes y que Bowie devoró bajo los efectos de algunas sustancias. El protagonista de la canción, el comandante Tom, es un astronauta en una misión espacial fallida, que recuerda más a la tripulación de la película de Kubrick que a los miembros del Apolo 11.
David Bowie publicó "Space Oddity" y su vida estuvo marcada desde entonces por una pasión por el espacio que mantuvo hasta el final de sus días. Dos años después de ese viaje, su particular carrera espacial le llevó a Marte, con la monumental "Life On Mars?", incluida en el álbum "Hunky Dory" Y luego se transformó en un alienígena llamado Ziggy Stardust, que visitó la Tierra acompañado por su banda, Las Estrellas de Marte. Juntos firmaron en 1973 uno de los álbumes fundamentales de la música moderna, con himnos siderales como "Starman". El comandante Tom de "Space Oddity" reapareció en 1980 para despedirse en "Ashes to Ashes", otro clásico de Bowie, quien después recordaría a su personaje junto a los Pet Shop Boys en la remezcla de su tema "Hallo Spaceboy". Las referencias al espacio se mantuvieron en la obra de Bowie hasta el final. En el inquietante vídeo de "Blackstar", la canción que dio título a su último álbum -publicado solo unas semanas antes de su muerte- puede verse el cadáver de un astronauta. Bowie nunca dejó de mirar el cielo. Tras su muerte, el 10 de enero de 2016, su esposa, Iman, le escribió: "Vuela hacia las estrellas, mi querido David".
Música independiente novedades.
this new guy's so underrated, cant wait for this to blow up :(((
Regina Falangie people in the 60s probably just thought he was another person trying to make it, but then he turned into David Bowie 🥺 a revolutionary man who literally created glam rock.
@@dejahmahina david bowie looks like he was from 2084. Im profoundly perplexed by the fact that he was on the rise in the 1960’s. How was he so ahead of his timeZ
I am watching Moonage Daydream. Absolutely brilliant.
And one of the reasons I love David so much is because he did not want to die. He did not OD on nothing, cancer killed him.
He was so in love with Iman Who says she will never marry again…
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like listening to David Bowie ✌
What an incredible artist! In the literal sense of the word - Art. As an engineer I had never respected the arts before, but the depth and creativity in Bowie's music is unfathomable!

Nice to see all these why not make a Bowie music video collection boxset on Blu-ray or reissue a full Bowie dvd archive
Joseph Carey That’s a great idea man!
Flat earthers be like

The earth is not flat.
The Game Detective the earth is flat
Over 50 years ago.
Every day we're drifting further in time from when this was released. We're all major Tom.
The quality of this song is amazing.
I prefer this version.
This is my personal favorite version and video.. Simple, not over done.
When Bowie died it was like something inside me died, he was someone that I thought had the power to live forever. Not a day goes by I don’t think about him and his influence on me.
He'll only truly die when we stop listening to his music.
And I don't see that happening for a while.
Eulogy Jones couldn’t agree more
2:50 David Bowie Without thinking he gave an idea for the first mobile in history.
It's amazing watching this after Blackstar and seeing how much he evolved over the years. It's truly beautiful.

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, six) Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three) Check ignition and may God's love be with you (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"

Gracias :')
Miss you david
DAVID BOWIE FOREVER!
It seems like Stanley Kubrick tried a crossover between "A Clockwork Orange" and "2001:A Space Oddysey"
2001: A Clockwork Oddity
Mr. Christopher 2001: A Clockwork ODDITY
Yeah hahahha
I like this song. This version in particular has also its beauty.
Happy Birthday, Starman. I miss you so much!
