David Bowie’s Timeless Classic Gets a Heartfelt Makeover: Barcelona English Choir’s Epic ‘Space Oddity’ Performance

David Bowie’s song “Space Oddity” is a timeless classic, but the ‘Barcelona English’ Choir has found a way to make it even better.

Their performance not only highlights their fantastic singing abilities but also pulls the audience into a heartfelt journey.

The performance captivated the audience instantly and quickly became a global sensation garnering 4 Million views on YouTube within a few hours. The beautiful rendition highlights their excellent singing skills and truly resonates with the audience in an unforgettable way.

So, what makes this cover so unique? It is the great blend of Choir and audience participation. The conductor gives each person at the event how to participate before they begin the singing. This develops a sense of belonging that is felt througout the performance.

One moment that really sticks out is when the duet starts around 4:39 in the video and there’s only one guitar and hundreds of voices singing together. It’s so simple and yet so deeply touching. This kind of singing together leads to a bond that runs close to the bone, lending Bowie’s canonical song a sense of freshness and excitement. Fans loved it and left sweet comments like, “When a crowd of humans sing it always sounds beautiful. The imperfections in our individual voices blend into perfection,” and “Very, very moving. The conductor has a real understanding about Bowie’s music. A lot of talent here.”

“Space Oddity” is one of David Bowie’s best songs, known for its haunting tune and powerful lyrics. It came out on July 11, 1969, right before the moon landing, which helped it become a hit. It reached number five on the UK Singles Chart and went Platinum, securing its place in music history.
