Ξεκινάμε το αφιέρωμα στις γυναικείες φωνές κρατώντας επαφή με το SPACE HYMNS tribute: μια πολύ ιδιαίτερη ερμηνεία ενός all time classic τραγουδιού του Bowie από την Νορβηγή singer – songwriter Aurora…
We begin our tribute to women’s voices in conjunction with the SPACE HYMNS tribute : here’ a very special cover of an all time Bowie classic by the Norwegian singer songwriter Aurora.
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?

Great version
Yes, I was almost in tears… Thank you!
Shivering like crazy!! Thank you.. heart’s breaking!
This is an amazing song by Bowie. I hadn’t heard it before, Aurora certainly does a beautiful version.
Yes she does. Nothing compares to the real thing though, in my opinion. Thank you!
