Of course, Major Tom’s fate is not fully explained in Space Oddity, having lost contact with Ground Control his final words in the song are: “Here am I floating round my tin can, Far above the Moon, Planet Earth is blue, And there's nothing I can do.” However, Bowie continued to shed light on the fate of the Major throughout his career, most notably in Ashes To Ashes: “Ashes to ashes, funk to funky, We know Major Tom’s a junky, Strung out in heaven’s high, Hitting an all-time low.” Following the release of the original single, Bowie was quick to point out his true feelings about Major Tom and how the character had possibly been misinterpreted in some quarters...but more of that later. The new David Bowie video for Space Oddity (2019 mix) features footage of a performance of Space Oddity at his 50th birthday concert at Madison Square Garden in 1997 (directed by Tim Pope), married to footage shot and directed by Édouard Lock (the founder and choreographer of the Montreal dance troupe La La La Human Steps), for the onscreen back drop of Bowie’s 1990 Sound & Vision tour. The images here are from the latter. View the new David Bowie video for Space Oddity (2019 mix) here: https://youtu.be/ptVbk7r4IcA (Temp link on main page) #SpaceOddity50 #Apollo50th」7月25日 0時18分
