@Declan A Walsh - David Bowie - Life on Mars
Heard the song: Yes
Comments
Was never much of a Bowie fan until recent years and even at that I haven’t listened to much of him. He has had many iconic songs and this is probably one of them. Great delivery as always and interesting lyrics. The pace is great also, hitting the highs at the right times. You can hear the tone change in both the lyrics and music at certain stages of the song. I’m not an expert in song structure though I think this is one that musicians could learn a lot from. There is also an interesting backstory to this song. Bowie wrote English lyrics to the music for the French song Comme d'habitude but they turned out to be not great and never amounted to anything. Paul Anka then wrote lyrics to the same song and it was recorded by Frank Sinatra. The song was My Way. Annoyed with the success of My Way, Bowie then wrote Life on Mars? as a sort of parody to My Way. Excellent pick
