The story behind the song

"Moonage Daydream" introduces the character of Ziggy Stardust, a bisexual alien rock superstar who believes he can save Earth from impending disaster. The song, which appeared on the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, presents Ziggy's self-description. It's a glam rock piece, featuring melodic and harmonic hooks, with percussive and guitar elements influenced by heavy metal. The re-recorded version includes saxophone played by Bowie and a guitar solo and string arrangement by Mick Ronson. At its heart, the song embodies the theatrical and otherworldly essence of Ziggy Stardust.
