Open Mic Week 4 - Space Oddity cover

in #openmic8 years ago (edited)

I think I missed week 3, but I'm back again with a cover this time. I may have forgotten to say what week it was in the video. Hope it still counts. I was inspired to do this Bowie song after hearing Amanda Palmer do it at the Bowie prom. I'm nothing like her, but she has inspired me a few times. Here's a version she recorded.

Please vote this up if you enjoy it to help me in the Open Mic contest run by @luzcypher and sponsored by @pfunk. You can also vote on my comment on the contest post which will also help me.

This song has been done by lots of people in different ways. Bowie himself did it several times.

Of course it's hard to beat actually doing it in space. Chris Hadfield did that a few years back. He managed to get a guitar up to the ISS. I guess it's still up there.

Bowie's death this year inspired lots of tributes, including this one by Steven Wilson
