Ashes to Ashes - David Bowie

Ashes to Ashes es uno de mis temas preferidos del músico británico; ojalá todo el pop tuviera esa riqueza tímbrica, rítmica, armónica y melódica. 

Extraído como el single principal del álbum Scary Monster, esta es la versión corta, para sonar en la radio como es habitual; la del disco es un poco más larga. 

El plantel es de auténtico lujo con gente como Carlos Alomar, Roy Bittan (E Street Band) y la producción de Tony Visconti junto al propio Bowie.

Temazo.

Espero que os guste

 

Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song?
I've heard a rumor from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true

 

They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed, love
Sordid details following"

 

The shrieking of nothing is killing, just
Pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing

 

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

 

Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

 

I never done good things (I never done good things)
I never done bad things (I never done bad things)
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now

 

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

 

My mother said, to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

My mother said, to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

My mother said, to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

My mother said, to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
