David Bowie - In The Heat Of The Morning

[jamiecal11]

Great song, i prefer turners but this is years ahead of its time

[MrJFlashify]

I find the shadow puppets difficult to listen to! It makes me uncomfortable!

[vlnlcn]

yes inded in his huge catalog this song stands apart!! wish he could redo it!!!!!

[tapeduk]

I found this groovy song

[brianstorm92]

actually i used to like more the puppets version

but now a can't stop listening bowie's version...its great

[027sarah]

I have listened to the Shadow Puppets version, but really guys this is so much better - or am I just old..... does no one find this sexy?

[m0vita]

a mm mmm mm mazing

[carlotta8]

ma préferee de Bowie

[davidbowiegirl1]

Beautiful song in so many ways.

[eisforfun]

the last shadow puppets did the cover a little bit better, i think. they had more style.

Bowie still cool, though.

[Ortibobs]

what album is this from?

[027sarah]

ok have listened to the Shadow Puppets version, what planet are you crowed on or are you all very young, sorry guys no disrespect but really...... this version is oh so beautiful and sexy and ah jayzus..........

[Davidb0123]

I have to say i really prefer last shadow puppets version although it might sound strange for this is the original

well i still dont like the way bowie sings this

[abiotch93]

yeah me too

LSP version is much more dynamic!

[xdddre]

Thumbs down? Like... "no, you don't have this opinion", haha.

[philippeg1967]

the taste, the colors...poor ears, poor feeling, weaked heart...too bad for you :o/ but doesn't matter for the song, one of the greatest from bowie's 60's.

[kaisersoseh]

Listen, there is only one version of this song worth Jack and this is it. Only Bowie could mix psychadaelia with gospel, and produce absolute magic like this track which after all is about 40 years old. It would be perfect if the ending was strung out another few minutes, but just listen, and appreciate genius.

[stilltakeyouhome505]

I AM BEGGING U!!!! please tell me where could i download this song. i cant find it anywhere!!! ill die. its so beautiful.

[mashamorgan]

love this song, so 60s, so full of hope, summer days...........apologies bit intoxicated !!

[supertinii]

I like the Last Shadow Puppets version too, but I didn't know that the original from David Bowie was. I like them both (the versions)!!! Nice!!!

[carlotta8]

l'une des meilleures

[carlotta8]

merci,j'adore cette version de bowie,merveilleuse..

[1AndOnlyBillySheers]

I think that this is possible the most underated song ever.

[ilovemingers]

I completely agree. The emotion is this song is amazing.

[hankharp]

Got to agree with monzefu, I just love them both !

[Avitalsara]

I would never have liked this song as much as I do, if it wasn't for the Last Shadow Puppets version. I like the sound of their version much better than this original. Of course I love this one as well, it is a brilliant song, but Bowie's voice and the sound of this version is just not as interesting to me.

[walms91]

the last shadows version is better.

i dont know why but it feels more believable,

i didnt know it wasnt one of there songs until today!

[ChaosLolz]

I'm having trouble deciding which version I like better. I guess I'll just have to live with liking both

[Wilsonnbean]

Great song

[1AndOnlyBillySheers]

What album is this on?

[YtLena]

last shadow puppets have really done this song at a mothern, and own way... they're good but I personally like bowie's version better..

[WhistlingPresident]

the lyrics on the album which this song came from are fantasic, poetry, out of every song on this album you could make a film.

[monzefu]

bowie ROCKS!!! for writting this song, the last shadow made a great great version of this song !!!!! XDD

[bobdenero]

Way way better than the Shadow puppets cover version

[weedparty]

great lyrics but it sounds better when the last shadow puppets sing it

[bowles123]

The thing that I like is,as much as a fan of Bowie that I am,id never heard this song until I heard the Last Shadow Puppets version (Which is great) - but Bowies original is fantastic,and i feel a fool for not knowing it was one of his songs when I heard puppets version.

bowie - genius

Turner - well on the way to becoming one !

[Appelsappel]

Thank you Bowie for writing the song, and also thank the puppets for covering it :)

[ArcticUnited1999]

Puppets version sounds better, forget that they didn't write or that they have more at their disposal. Nevertheless, Bowie was years ahead of his time and is undoubted lly an icon in music and one of the greatest songwriters of all time full stop. Turner's got a long way to go before he achieves that kind of status but I think it's great that someone in the modern age recognises this kind of music as a direct inspiration rather than just a mildly significant predecessor.

[floozyinthejacuzzi]

Have been a Bowie fan for most of my life, and this is one of my favourite songs, it's grooovvvvy baby!!!!!!!!!!!!Having said that, I love almost everything he's ever done!!!

[dorinc1987]

Respect Bowie for this song...but i like more Alex,but this is a personal preference,cause original is also great...I can't explain why I like LSP version more...I just DO.

[ByronDahh]

the last shadow puppets version is better

but i like this one too

:]

[kateroze]

Yep, Last Shadow Puppets is faaar better.

[myshkin]

One thing clear from this, & it proabably is recorded a bit too politely, is that Bowie's voice is that of a much more interesting, strange talent than Alex Turner, very talented though he certainly is. Some children ignorant of Bowie's catalogue need to believe their current heroes stomp over the past. Stuff like Five Years, Quicksand, Heroes, etc etc- a higher level.

[arcticpuppet505]

i like it more when alex is singin it

[rozkendal]

this is it fresh 60's sound as it happened then, don't worry about the shadow puppets both are good but this song epitomises the era of its origin, its from "the world of david bowie" on decca records, pre dates everything we know as bowie, just dig the hammond man!

[gruschnahala]

the only that counts is who writes the song.....?

david Bowie!

Turner is a very good sing/songwriter and is also very good in cover song

but he hasn't wrote the song!!!

[returnofthebmonkey]

it doesn't matter, its only a cover

[timmerios]

I totally agree...

[arabiansanchez]

Just to remind everyone; this original version does pre-date puppets' version by about 40 years. Consider the difference in what resources they'd have had at their disposal before lambasting the composer's version!

[mooneepondskid]

"last shadow puppets version is like 10 times better than this"...you are dreaming there.

This version is full of pathos...it shines with emotion...which is what Bowie's voice was famous for. The cover version is a decent rock track...but sounds a bit pedestrian. Listen to both tracks played loudly on a stereo and you will see exactly what I'm talking about.

[iJonah]

Indeed, this version really stinks. The Puppets gave a new twist to it.

[thisisatrueeestory]

that's probably why David Bowie was so happy that they covered it-they actually made it amazing. This version's nothing compared to the Last Shadow Puppets' version. I hate the way David Bowie says "morning" in this song and its weird cause I usually like him

[arabiansanchez]

I highly doubt Bowie likes it because he dislikes his own.

I'm sure Bowie hates the way you say "morning" too :P

Peace out n all! x

[arabiansanchez]

I doubt that's why Bowie liked it.

Before lampooning the original composer's version, we should all first consider the era, that Bowie was unknown- this is pre-Space Oddity!- and the equipment and budget etc available to him in comparison.

PS; i bet Bowie hates the way you say "morning" too.

[bobdenero]

Rozkendal - something similar, big Bowie fan since early 70's when he appeared on TOTP's singing Starman, Bought World of David Bowie a few months later when on holiday in Minehead

[stoker10]

really great melody

I used not to like the 60s bowie songs but now I am starting to appreciate that underrated material as well

was this to be rearranged in toy?

[medusasmiles]

Please, please, please Mr Bowie release your 'Toy' album! I've heard snippets of the new verson of this song 'silly boy blue' and 'london boys' and they are fab!

[LittlePrincessMidori]

One of my fave Bowie songs ever! :) Thank you for posting!

[floozyinthejacuzzi]

Me too!!!:-)

[LittlePrincessMidori]

[morrdrix]

[beeb1992]

[woodgate101]

[hixpolloo]

beautiful song

[rozkendal]

from the world of david bowie on decca records. the fair came to kendal as usual, it was 1973 and my dad decided a record would be better than going. as i had already bought aladin sane in the summer of the same year i bought the world of david bowie,iwas 9 years old. thanks dad and thank you for posting this fantastic track.
