I HAVE A THEORY FOR THE FUCKIN SPACE ODDITY AND IT'S PROBABLY 900% WRONG BUT IT WAS LIKE 2 AM WHEN I THOUGHT OF IT SO LIKE MAJOR TOM ACTUALLY TRIED KILLING HIMSELF AND GROUND CONTROL IS HIS WIFE LIKE YOU KNOW "TELL MY WIFE I LOVE HER VERY MUCH" "SHE KOWS" LIKE HE'S DYING AND HE SAYS THAT AND HIS WIFE IS THERE BUT HE DDOESN'T KNOW BC HE'S LIKE DYING AND THE WHOLE ASHES TO ASHES SONG DOES THAT MAKE SENSE
So, is it like his story is set up in Space Oddity (and he tries to kill himself in the middle) and Ashes to Ashes is when he’s dying and confused? Like “I’m happy, hope you’re happy, too” is sort of him saying that he’s going to a better place and she should let him go so he’s not miserable anymore. Or is the whole of Ashes to Ashes a suicide note and his wife finds it after he’s actually managed to kill himself?
