"Space Oddity" and "Starman" by David Bowie

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


Kirk kicks off the new year with 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)
