Rocket man.
Space oddity
Space oddity was released approximately a month before the Apollo 11 launch. At the time it was also the heart of the space race.
The fashion is very unlike todays, the band sporting tight fitting jump-suites, strange alien like makeup, and long hair.
Repetition, Stanza and imagery have formed this slo moving, relaxing song, intwined with the rock music of the late 1960s.
Guitars, Bass guitars, drums.
I think that the space race and the lunar landings inspired the song, especially with the songs space like theme.
There was visual cuts to scenes of space ships taking off, space ships floating in space and other stuff like that, even though because of the tech back then then the quality was poor it definitely gave the song a spacey fell that got the listener more engaged in the song.
Star Man
The hidden meaning of the song I think links back to his song space oddity as he talks about a missing star man floating around in space.
A lot like the other songs here he uses repetition in the lyrics to make the song sound good. imagery is used with the tune of the instruments to help keep the song going and keeping it Un-Boring. The Stanza is used in the repetition of the lyrics.
Loud, some fluorescent tight fitting clothing.
Much like space oddity the film of the live performance is slightly grainy because of the tech back in there day but the video makes it fell like your there with them providing the listener with a more enjoyable, engaged time listening to the song.
Piano, Guitar, Bass guitar, vocals, drums.
Much like rocket man star man was released in 1972 around about the fifth moon landing following the theme of space, because of the current pop culture surrounding space with the space race still on at the time.

Its hard to find out the fashion in the video because it is animated but mostly the animated person is just wearing a space suit and helmet.
I thinnk the hidden meaning o the song revolves around the lunar landings and how space can be such a vast dark place that takes years and years to even go somewhere close by and how that can have a huge effect on the physiological health of people in space.
A lot like David Bowies Space oddity the main poetic devices used are Stanza Repetition and imagery.
The effectiveness of the animation i think suited the music nicely, even though it was animated it still brought the vibe of the song out more,.
Rocket man was published in 1972 around the time of apollo 16 the mission that sent men to the moon for the fifth time. Space was a big part of American culture then because of the space race and so a lot of the music including this one were based on space.
