We were playing a music trivia game and the question was "what planet did david bowie sing about life on?"
And my buddy says "earth?" Lmao
The song is called life on Mars, but it's all about Earthly things, so I reckon he was singing about Earth problems and only contrasting it to the highbrow idea of life on Mars
Looking at the lyrics again it seems to mostly be about a film, or films in general
I didn't write the question. It's a trivia game that came in a box.
He's not wrong.
It applies to most songs lol
You could argue it applies to all songs in some sense (at least, the ones we've heard).
I'm sure there have been original compositions on space stations before, the people up there should be nerdy enough…
Yeah, but it's still a song by a person from Earth on an Earth instrument and in an Earth language and almost definitely Earth related somehow.
Nah. The song in the triva question was Mars, for example. There's plenty of songs about things other than earth, and other than life.
I know what you're saying though.
