David Bowie Station to Station

[ThePogle]

this is a fine tune!

[EIGHTIEESALWAYS]

I wish that classic song was more longer, over 10 minutes is not enough. 

[Joaqrock]

one his best albums and he forgot the entire experience! Double irony!

[mrblacification]

classic , when music was good !!! bowie is a legend!!!

[pantelinratnik33]

it feels like a train is going right through my brain..

[truthforme1]

I play this song LOUD my friends.....it picks up steam like the train at the beginning ....I think Bowie realized it hence the train at the start.... Boowie!

[mrblacification]

classic , when music was good !!

[999ReaperIII]

I thought it said "plain white puke," as oppossed to "thin white duke."

[derrazkhalid]

when iam high i listen to this extreemly highly fucking nice song and jump to the next stage of highness

[MsThebeMoon]

This and Man Who Sold The World are my two favorite Bowie albums. Miss this one. I miss the seventies. People were so much LESS uptight. What's happening?

[mrblacification]

@MsThebeMoon yeah your right today sucks, the 90 ' s was the last good decade

[JDOCD123]

The instrumentals put you in a trance if you're high. Woahhwoahhhhhh!

[schwelty]

I never appreciated this album until I bought a pair of very expensive, nice headphones. I don't regret it. I absolutely refuse to listen to this song especially on cheap iPhone headphones. It's just insulting to the quality that is David Mother Fucking Bowie.

[chapaev36]

Has anyone else noticed that when an ad comes on it's impossible to turn down the volume right as it begins? Fuck you, ads.

[SouthJerseyGuy1]

Man what a tour this was.Still ranks very high on my list of all time favorites.

[buckofkenmore]

thin white Dukes is the real name of the song

[juniatapark]

He was always ahead of his time



[benihana180]

what is the actual name of the song

[sspannerintheworks]

@benihana180 station to station!

[DoctorNarpasLoveless]

The train at the beginning of the song is the cocaine, taking Bowie far away on the track of self destruction.

[titan57nl]

Time has aged.

[chantonwithoutus]

This is music.

[paulkersey13]

best record ever



[KolanComeHome]

gotta love how there are like 5 songs in this, all of them being intros for one another.

[Sarc37]

Bar-none, my all-time favorite Bowie song. It's too bad he doesn't remember most of this time period, but man what a result it produced!

[ZosoHacker]

What utter cock put a dislike on this???

[canopener505]

In a world of posers and copycats, Bowie is a unique musician, for sure. I love how most new pop tunes would be over before this song even gets started.

[DBowie125]

By the way, raise your glasses to David Bowie and his european cannon (or canon, if that's how he spelt it).

[DBowie125]

I am currently soaring with the sunbirds and heading towards Malkuth. Let's see Ryanair beat this.

[TheRedemtion]

One of his best !

[dangers386]

saw this tour in 76 a m a z i n g north drums always stuff in the background you dont hear till hundreds of listenings go bowie

[philbee1956]

I saw Him twice at Wembley 1976.....recall the green neon Bowielites waving, the collective GASPS during Bunuel's 'Chien Andalou' (surely you TEASE us, DB!!) , the whitelight/whiteheat/orangeblo­nde-slicked DUKEDOM!!! Love on ya !..... & Eno was there to drink it all in.....

[wpollock1]

@philbee1956 Yes, you caught the essence of it. I saw the same tour at Olympia in Detroit. When every other band used multicolored lights, Bowie goes with the bright white. This went well with the black suit and white shirt. What a concert and what a band!

[xxpiggystardustxx]

@philbee1956 i was at the wembley gigs ,,amazing show ..i have un chien andalou on disc ,,what a crazing but fascinating way to stat a gig :)

[paisleyization]

What an amazing artist he is, fantastic career and he deserves it. He was always so inspirational and always at the leading edge of anything new, remaking his image over and over again, so rare for a solo artist. I have always loved this guy.....

[stainhead]

When you are addicted to morphine some things may get weird????

[undercover5550]

Jeg elsker bare denne sang den er helt vild god og romantisk og eno agtig og alle mullige sanser kommer i gang når jeg høre eno sangen og det her er eno sangen men jeg altså rent sagt så elsker jeg den og den er bare sp god at denb minder mig om eno og hvad så tænker i nokmen den sang betyder meget for eno og mig men ikke så meget for henny solskin som for mig men den er bare så god at jeg ikke kan lade være med at høre den men det er nok derfor at eno høre den og enso også hørte den i flertal.

[hallamhal]

This song's over 10 minutes long, and it's STILL not long enough!

[ganymede43210]

Genius

[Tedisntakidanymore]

DB made this album during his "lost years" in Los Angeles. He claims he was so high at the time he doesn't recall recording it. Not bad for being coked to the gills, eh? The title track is so ambitious and brilliant, like Bowie.. Outrageous..the stuff of genius!

[luckysilviano]

@Tedisntakidanymore I don't think any artist/band made such high quality material like Station To Station in their darkest hour, at the peak of their addiction. Bowie is amazing.

[Ronan6610]

The one that really got me ...

[Revolver2100]

Low and Heroes are his best albums. This is boring glam rock

[TheJ731]

@Revolver2100 this isnt glam rock

[paisleyization]

@Revolver2100 You know not of what you speak....

[userjoe1020]

My speakers just won't go loud enough!

[Orbulas]

This song is a total ripoff of Lady Gaga's 'Born this way'

[MagickLabyrinth]

@Orbulas Erm hardly, David Bowie wrote this about 10 years before Lady Gaga was even born.....

[Orbulas]

@MagickLabyrinth This one doesn't understand sarcasm.

[SirBanuTheFourth]

@Orbulas Yeah of course. Cos Bowie REALLY rips of modern day shitty artists (!)

[shedendboy1]

@Orbulas . Your attempt at Humour, Has backfired.

[cachiva]

Hi! Love it! Is it really "canon" and not "cannon"? Have I had the wrong idea all these years?

[mymindourdream]

@cachiva is really cannon...You have always caught the right word,no doubt about,...anyway,to be honest,i don't know if he's referring to a bouncing thing or to a weapon...i think the right meaning is weapon,but i'm not sure of it.....

[xboxfan456]

fav song of his!!!!!!!!!!!

[asafgmanster]

David Bowie is something to talk about

[hoggeboris]

07:37-08:29 Awesome!!!

[MyDadsMusic1]

I reckon this is was his finest and most daring album, songs like this one, and word on a wing are rare jewels indeed. Saw him do this one at Earls Court in `78, he was fabulous! And yes he probably was coked out of his head when he wrote/recorded this, but shit, does it matter?

[MyDadsMusic1]

[dekkyboy]

love this song

[sallyfieldrequired]

bowie is god

[109messerschmittbf]

What an audacious album, only Bowie could have pulled this off, just an incredible talent.

[wreyoG]

@109messerschmittbf i consider STS his greatest album

[wreyoG]

@109messerschmittbf sorry i lied..Scary Monsters is his best..cheers!

[seviwesuohetarepsed]

This is a masterpiece. But I just want it to go for 90.15, not 10.15. It always was the shortest ten plus minute track ever written, I guess because once the train stops it feels like the track starts again, and once the change to the second half of the track, it feels like it starts again, again. Bowie at his best. He is the man. The fucking best thing from the 70s.

[botbagel]

@seviwesuohetarepsed I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU !! VERY WELL SAID !!

[sisiello]

interesting variation on 6:00 like some of the best musicians

[lensjockeyvideo]

I think there are a few great albums where you can smell the coke in the music, this is one of them. Nightclubbing by Grace Jones is another. This is soooo cokey. The light metallic chemical taste... how can music seem to have that too?

[wilitoto]

@lensjockeyvideo i heard him say once in an interview that he took so much coke during the recording of this album that he has no memory of those recording sessions

[MrTigerSanchez]

@lensjockeyvideo brilliant. brilliant comment 

[ullehat]

great music great album great man great song great lyrics just cool rock glam rock hard rock bowie

[sallyfieldrequired]

10 minutes of rock n roll bliss

[ronnogold]

In '76 or so, I wrecked and totaled a '74 VW Beetle. I had this DB album in the 8-track (yes 8-track) at the time, and this song was playing. When the car finally stopped rolling, that 8-track just kept going. In my panic, all I could focus on was this song, and it seemed to play on forever. Luckily, I was just banged around good but the car was a goner. Since that day, this song has always felt very personal to me; I shared some freaked out moments with it for sure.

[jagfug]

@ronnogold Me and my friend drove out to Shelter Island -the end of Long Island, and while waiting for the ferry, we got out to check the schedule, and I looked out the window and saw a car driving down the ramp, and said, "Hey there goes a car now! Holy shit, that's your car!-It was. SPLASH! -all the while "Start Me Up" was blasting on the 8-track. We stood there helplessly watching it slowly sink like a ship! It was a mint 74 Pontiac Ventura. Your story instantly brought it all back.

[fleamarket3000]

still the best tune ever

[mralmeister1]

some of his best work but a really tragic time for Bowie...he almost died.

[HippieJimi]

I like taking train rides....

[Tedisntakidanymore]

A strange, terrific, engrossing number. In '76, when he recorded this album, DB was living in Los Angeles and was perpetually coked to the gills. He later told interviewers he doesn't recall much about it. But even wasted on coke, Bowie's sheer brilliance is so evident in this song and in "Stay." Incredible talent!

[david28175]

My first bowie albumn

[wishmaster655]

1236575843457373224555552556 like xD

[Gi1BrO]

One of the best rock songs of the 70's

[mattiomattio]

Ive listened to this song THOUSANDS of times and it never ever gets boring

[funwilly]

@mattiomattio unbelivable gietar playing

[ejulpboy]

@mattiomattio It's almost unbelievable that it never does - is his longest song - and still is the one I've listened to most.

[6693BellRinger]

@mattiomattio It's just one of those songs - it gets better and better with every listen!

[Zimmerwick]

Gets better on every hearing. A very rewarding song.

[Dsungaripterus]

one of his very best!

[Danniifluff]

c: <3

[LadyGrinningSoulDiva]

Best song ever!

[ram29jackson]
