Does anyone else get the idea this is alluding to "Young Goodman Brown" by Hawthorne?

I'm seeing a giant correlation between this and Crime And Punishment. Poor Raskolnikov. And Bowie.

David Bowie – Space Oddity Lyrics 19 years ago
Okay, guys. Please stop mentioning Apollo 13. No. Just no.

Really this song is a double meaning, about both the general tendency of people to become alienated, and also the intimidation of space travel, as inspired by the movie Space Odyssey and the 1969 Apollo 11 landing itself.

Laurie Anderson – O Superman (For Massenet) Lyrics 20 years ago
Just a note, she performed this song live with David Bowie once... I'm not sure exactly what part he played though. Eh, he could've stood around being awesome. He's cool like that.

Blind Melon – Soak the Sin Lyrics 20 years ago
I'm tempted to think that this song is about starting over, becoming a new person. "Jump in the river and let the
Water soak the sin in my soul." is rather baptismal.
