Swedish heavy metal band, Lion's Share, has made their new song, "Life On Mars?", available on streaming services and digital service providers. Stream the song here, and watch a music video here.
Lion's Share has meticulously crafted a rendition of "Life On Mars?" that pays homage to David Bowie's genius, while infusing it with the raw energy and adrenaline-pumping power of hard rock.
Lion's Share singer Nils Patrik Johansson commented: "We feel It's the perfect blend of nostalgia and freshness that hopefully will appeal to fans across generations."
Lion's Share guitarist Lars Chriss adds: "We actually started working on it years ago, but had to figure out a way to capture the essence of the original, while adding a new layer of intensity and passion."
"Life On Mars?" is a song by the English singer-songwriter David Bowie, first released on his 1971 album, Hunky Dory. The lyrics are about a girl who goes to a cinema to escape reality, and include surreal images that reflect optimism and the effects of Hollywood.
In late 2018, LION'S SHARE released a new five-track EP, plus its complete catalog - remastered with new artwork - on streaming services and digital service providers for the first time. The band have since released a few more digital singles, some of which will and some of which won't end up on the forthcoming full-length album.
Both Johansson and Chriss remark that they have always worked very well together, and at this point it feels the most natural to keep LION’S SHARE as a duo, with friends helping out wherever needed.
