Story behind the song
Originally, I wasn't a fan of David Bowie. I had heard him played on the radio but I wasn't very familiar with him other than what little I had heard. People would constantly compare me to him in vocal stylings and this finally peaked my interest. I began reading up on the man and buying all the music I could find. Now Bowie is a huge influence in every aspect of what I do musically. I wanted to cover a song by Bowie but I couldn't make up my mind which one to do. I suppose the song happened instead. I wanted to give closure to the Major Tom concept. There were the songs by Bowie "Space Oddity", "Ashes to Ashes", "Hello Spaceboy" and then there was the Peter Schilling track "Major Tom" that alludes to him coming back to earth or home. This song brings him home. Brian Copeland - Euphonic Dissonance
Lyrics
Black & White ?2006 Euphonic Dissonance Verse 1 They received a signal A transmission from another time Is it possible No that?s obscene Could he still be alive? How long?s it been Some thirty years How long?s it been Since he?s been here Floating through the cosmos in his little machine Starlight in his eyes And darkness in his dreams He felt ? He felt so alive Worlds keep spinning Suns collide And the earth looks so good to his old eyes CHORUS There is no black and white You never tried to see inside Why couldn?t you read my mind? Why didn?t you see it? There is no black and white The difference between day and night And there is no f**king gray I can?t wait another day Verse 2 Better call the old lady Let her know he?s coming home Didn?t she remarry? I don?t care ? just get her on the damn phone An old crusty voice picks up the line Old crusty memories of much better times Can?t believe the impossible It simply isn?t plausible Atmospheric friction Firey red hot Shooting through the envelope and giving off sparks Lighting up the night sky With his own fireworks Splashdown in wet ? seductive water Swimming in the womb Safe inside the womb Verse 3 General Richardson steps to it Opens the door and waits For a sign of life The wife stands in waiting Signs of time are slowly fading He reaches out his hand It?s good to have you back ? Major Tom You?ve been away so long Her eyes are liquid crimson drops Not much has changed since you took off.
