David Bowie - Life on Mars (Cover by Tino Casal)

It is time to remember someone from my country who was destined to be one of the best artist or, at least, his fans think so.

He was Tino Casal. You can see something more about Tino in Wikipedia

Maybe you are going to think that I am crazy but I like more this cover than the original one by David Bowie:


Tino, we remember you ...

PS: I don't translate this song (for the moment) because it is too much strange for me :/ Even so, I love this song XD (lol)

PS2: This is the lyric (the original one), by the way

It's a god-awful small affair
to the girl with the mousy hair
but her mummy is yelling, "No!"
and her daddy has told her to go

But her friend is nowhere to be seen
now she walks through her sunken dream
to the seat with the clearest view
and she's hooked to the silver screen

But the film is a saddening bore
for she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
as they ask her to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show

Take a look at the lawman
beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best-selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It's on America's tortured brow
that Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
because Lennon's on sale again

See the mice in their million hordes
from Ibiza to the Norfolk broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
to my mother, my dog, and clowns

But the film is a saddening bore
because I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
as I ask you to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show

Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best-selling show
Is there life on Mars?
