2016: The Year of The Dead Artist

Ground control to Major Tom
Ground control to Major Tom

It's time we all reach out, Major 
for something new
that means you, too

Planet Earth is blue
and there's nothing you can do, 

Something's ain't right
Something's bugging you,

Major Tom, 
you were broken 
before the sky would open.

But Major,
There's a crack in everything
and that's how she got in.

And you want to travel with her, Major
and you want to travel blind.

She took the grey skies out of your way
turned a bright spark into a flame.

Now, 
you're floating in the most peculiar way,
the stars start to look different,
under the purple rain.

Hallelujah, Hallelujuah

you start to fade
you even forget her name

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

and everything went wrong
still Suzanne kept your song.

Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?  



this is a tribute to David Bowie, Prince, Leonard Cohen and George Michael who all left us in 2016.
