- Major_Tom abstract "Major Tom is a fictional astronaut referenced in David Bowie's songs \"Space Oddity\", \"Ashes to Ashes\", \"Hallo Spaceboy\" (particularly in the remix by the Pet Shop Boys) and \"Blackstar\" (in the music video and interpreted from the lyrics). Bowie's own interpretation of the character evolved throughout his career. \"Space Oddity\" (1969) depicts an astronaut who casually slips the bonds of the world to journey beyond the stars. In the song \"Ashes to Ashes\" (1980), Bowie reinterprets Major Tom as an oblique autobiographical symbol for himself. Major Tom is described as a \"junkie, strung out in heavens high, hitting an all-time low\". This lyric was interpreted as a play on the title of Bowie's album Low (1977), which charted his withdrawal following his drug abuse in the United States. Additionally, the choked and self-recriminating tone used in the lyrics \"Time and again I tell myself I'll stay clean tonight.\" reinforces an autobiographical and retrospective interpretation. A short time later, there is another reversal of Major Tom's original withdrawal, turning 'outwards' or towards space.German singer Peter Schilling continued the story of Major Tom in his late 1982 release \"Major Tom (völlig losgelöst)\", which reached number one in Germany and Austria in early 1983. The English-language version, \"Major Tom (Coming Home)\", peaked at number 14 in the States in late 1983. Other artists who have subsequently made substantial contributions to the Major Tom story include K.I.A.. Due to some similarities in Elton John's \"Rocket Man\", there is a possible connection between the Rocket Man and Major Tom, a connection notably made by Bowie himself, who while singing \"Space Oddity\" in concert would sometimes call out, \"Oh, Rocket Man!\"".
