以前、別動画でクリスさんのLife On Mars?ピアノアレンジのみのを聴いて凄いこの曲が大好きになりました〜デビットボウイのオリジナルPVはビジュアル面の衝撃もあって（笑）ファンなのにきちんと楽曲に向き合っていなかった自分を反省しています😊火星へ帰ってしまった彼ですが、最近になって改めてボウイ本家動画、クリスさのカバー、海外の方々のピアノアレンジを毎日の様に聴いてます💖楽曲の素晴らしさは世代や国境を超えて永遠デス👍少し残念なのは日本ではカバーやピアノアレンジされてるのは現状少なくて。。。伝記映画「スターダスト」が来年公開予定？との情報も耳に入ってきてます〜何かのきっかけで彼の楽曲の魅力が多くの日本人に伝わって欲しいデス*\(^o^)/*
It's a God-awful small affair To the girl with the mousy hair But her mummy is yelling no And her daddy has told her to go But her friend is nowhere to be seen Now she walks through her sunken dream To the seat with the clearest view And she's hooked to the silver screen But the film is a saddening bore For she's lived it ten times or more She could spit in the eyes of fools As they ask her to focus on Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh man, look at those cavemen go It's the freakiest show Take a look at the lawman Beating up the wrong guy Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know He's in the best selling show Is there life on Mars? It's on America's tortured brow That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow Now the workers have struck for fame 'Cause Lennon's on sale again See the mice in their million hordes From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads Rule Britannia is out of bounds To my mother, my dog, and clowns But the film is a saddening bore 'Cause I wrote it ten times or more It's about to be writ again As I ask you to focus on Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh man, look at those cavemen go It's the freakiest show Take a look at the lawman Beating up the wrong guy Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know He's in the best selling show Is there life on Mars?
Majin Buu I'm guessing your going to tell me some random name with symbols in it who's lyrics include mumbling, "slant rhyme" and bragging about money, Drugs and Women
Nobody really knows. It's not really tiger balm because you would never put that in your throat, but something similar. Haven't found it yet and the coldplay "oracle" that gathers fan questions couldnt answer it as well
I can take some reharmonization, but not really on this tune and definitely not on "It's about to be writ again..." That bass note is key to the tension of the this passage. Please do right by David Bowie. This classic song deserves to be played with the right harmonies.
I agree. He absolutely ruins this masterpiece at precisely the finest single moment in the whole song. No wonder Bowie declined Martin's invitation to sit in on one of his songs he was recording.
Chris is working with the singers and this really isn't about him or Bowie, at this specific performance. That's what great singers, musicians and writers are able to do, and perhaps explains in part why they are great.
As a musician, I will say that music is not just about the melody. The way the bass line interacts with the melody and what note of a chord is chosen for the bass line is integral to a song. Life On Mars is Life On Mars precisely because of the notes David Bowie chose in his bass line. How the song moves from one harmony to the next and the color of the emotion that accompanies the lyric is driven by the bass progression. When you lose that, you lose the heart of this song. To ignore that, or not to understand and stay true to the harmony does disservice to this song. This youtube video allows one to hear David Bowie's song the way it was written: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-THz5x0dS5fc.html
Christine Kim christine, as a fellow musician, i would gladly redirect you to a place called the internet, where you can find the definition of a cover. If you cant «take» the harmonies on this one, its actually only your problem, not the cover artists’.
That is your opinion. Personally Chris Martin gives something in his performances that almost no one can give, this sort of magical performance that kind of draws you towards it. Dunno
