"Space Oddity" and "Starman" by David Bowie [Recast]

Let the children lose it, let the children use it, and let all the children join in for Strong Songs!

Kirk tackles a pair of classics by the great David Bowie: 1969's melancholy "Space Oddity" and 1972's triumphant "Starman." What goes up, as they say, must come down.

Written by: David Bowie

Albums: David Bowie (1969), The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972)
