創作背景
《Space Oddity》的創作靈感來自於電影《
2001太空漫遊》邀潤。這是一首關於走向死亡的太空人湯姆上校(Major Tom)的歌曲。1969年初,大衛·鮑伊拍攝了一部宣傳片《Love You Till Tuesday》(1984年才發布),來展示他第一張專輯中的歌曲,並為其錄製了一組歌曲。《Space Oddity》的早期版本就出現在這組歌曲中。在這組歌里,其他歌曲都是由Tony Visconti製作的,但他拒絕製作《Space Oddity》,覺得它是一首怪歌。接替Tony Visconti工作的Gus Dudgeon從原聲小樣中發現了全遷槳這首歌的潛力,決定用交響樂配器,讓
Paul Buckmaster精心改編,Pentangle樂糠試拔辯隊的鼓手
Terry Cox則在它原有的軍樂節奏中加入了一些微妙的爵士節奏。

歌曲歌詞
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'
歌曲鑑賞
《Space Oddity》不是大衛·鮑伊最好聽的歌,在他風格多換的歷史中,這首歌也沒什麼代表性,但它是令他為人所知的第一首歌。在這閥拘翻套首歌里,有理想主義的喪失,有不旬姜故可理喻的幻想,有如體液般曖昧滑膩的旋律,還有收斂了毒品音樂一切氣質的早期合成器。《Space Oddity》流露著一份幽悒而神秘的氣氛,表現出大衛·鮑懂匪婆伊在音樂上的想像力。
