This song took me two hours to figure out. It is probably, in my opinion, one of the greatest David Bowie songs. It is off of -Space Oddity- and quite a track coming in at over nine minutes. It is quite a piece moving through so many key changes and other things. Those are things characteristic of -Space Oddity-, figuring out songs off that album is quite difficult. I was quite frustrated trying to get some of it but now that I got all of it, I am quite proud and happy I did it. I hope you enjoy this, (it took me a really strenuous long time to do but I did enjoy doing it anyway): THE CYGNET COMMITTEE by David Bowie
