Lifeon

"Life On Mars? is one of David Bowie's most iconic and enigmatic songs, released in 1971. The track tells the story of a young girl who watches endless amounts of TV to escape her humdrum life and dream of something more out there. The song has been interpreted in countless ways, from Bowie's fascination with the unknown life on Mars to a metaphor for the experience of being alive itself. #BehindtheMusic"

That guitar riff hit me like a ton of bricks, and hearing her raw honesty about mental health was the cherry on top. She's been through it all- lost loved ones, dealt with bullies, and now infidelity. She's a true warrior.

Not only did Bowie write the lyrics to this song, he also wrote the piano track! #BehindtheMusic

Bowie actually released this song in '71 on his album Hunky Dory but it did not gain any popularity until he released it as a stand-alone single two years later #BehindtheMusic
