Understanding "Life On Mars?"

There weren't many artists in rock music more unique than David Bowie. His work spanned a variety of styles, and he brought his own voice to each one. His passing two years ago was a great loss for the art world, but at least he left us with over 40 years of music to appreciate, so to commemorate one of the titans of the genre, we're looking at one of his first big hits, Life On Mars?. It's a really cool piece of harmony that combines advanced devices with iconic progressions to create an unforgettable, ambient soundscape.
