[mrsonion14]

[ShalalaItsChristmas]

this is incredibly good - thanks for making it and uploading it! Check out our school's effort. Would be great to swap notes. Wondering if you've got your own studio there.

[bewilderedinbombay]

I have watched this so many times, simpy for the absolute joy of listening them. the spirit of joining, of experimenting and Bowie's soul, is just awsome!

May I humbly, from a forest in India, say my deepest appreciation to all of you, behind and in front of what we enjoy, Julia

[RyanSmithOnPiano]

Well done guys!

Checkout my version! It has piano. And a cappella. Hope you like it!

[lewesnewschool]

RocketFM played this track on Sunday night, can't believe it! Brilliant stuff guys, keep rocking!

[darrylsweetland]

@lewesnewschool Wonderful video - well done to all. A real reminder that 'Education isn't the filling of a pail, it is the lighting of a fire'.

I'm writing from Thailand where my five year old goes to a typical 'no imagination' type school. My 10 year old used to go there but now I home-school him.

When I watched your video I almost wept for the childhood experiences they are missing out on.

I'll visit your website next, and perhaps consider returning to live in the UK!

[Lewesbusker]

Hey, the song has sold out at Si Sounds in Lewes! Don't worry Si, more copies on the way.

[ashworthm]

i love this cover of the Bowie classic.....

[flegolas]

supergreat

[javpanda]

[renveau]

I like this

love, Nico, 2

[cariocagsd]

Amazing! I just can't stop watching. Congratulations from Brazil!

[LucasAdamson]

Such a good job on the editing Dahlan. What great kids. I only hope I could afford to send my kids to Lewes New School...

[lewesnewschool]

As a 'reluctantly private' school, we have a bursary scheme designed to assist with the school fees, thanks to the generous support of the Guerrand Hermes Foundation.

[CUTTHORPE]

Didn't Herbie Flowers play on everything in the 70s / 80s - where did you get him from? Is he local? Tremendous :)

[Lewesbusker]

Herbie is indeed local. He spent many years running 'Rockshops' for kids in Sussex and is as active on the local music scene as he is still internationally.

Though Herbie didn't play on the studio recording of Changes, he did perform it many, many times on tour with Bowie, including the (in)famous Diamond Dogs tour. Apart from Bowie, Herbie played with T Rex, Lou Reed (of course), Blue Mink and countless others. Top character.

[MrMakeDo]

Awesomeness.

[nothingsthatsimple]

A great result - done with charm and style. Bowie would be proud. But is he big enough to agree to a duet?

[chepookadook]

I started bawling at the teachers(?) singing "pretty soon now you're gonna get older".

That was just beautiful. Kudos to all.

[eltrevoso]

WOW...

Love that sytlophone solo... and the pure singing without effects... the teachers.... the kids playing... Herbie Flowers playing bass.... everything is great about this O_O

[Premasagar]

Great to see all this flowing feedback. Rock on, Lewes New School.

[tytybeer]

*wins teh internet!!*

Inspriring rendition of a great song. Well done kids and staff. Good luck with the conference.

[paulmatthijslombert]

that bass player is Herbie Flowers, who also played on the original recording...

[Woodlot75]

Stylophone solo!

[adamkirbylondon]

What sort of hippy school is this?!

Spare the rod, spoil the child!

(only kidding, it's pretty good)

[jogreenrox]

Wow! Just superb.. How cool is this school? Wonderful to see everyone involved. I'm going to tweet this for you and get people to comment! Best Wishes. A big Bowie fan x

[jennyellwood]

Wow! Loved the video - will be showing it to teachers to inspire them! Well done to everyone involved - just wish I could get to the conference :O(

[chuckbabygorilla]

What was that little synth that the girl played at the end.

[Lewesbusker]

It's a Stylophone - as used by Bowie on Space Oddity (and advertised by Rolf Harris in the UK in the 70s).

[tuckshopper]

that's the enrolment promo sorted then.

[alexwhamilton]

That is absolutely brilliant.

[dave1995]

Wow. Just wow. This should be compulsory viewing for every primary school teacher, it shows just what you can achieve with a bit of dedication.

[hawaiiancanetoad]

Excellent wok kids (and staff)

[afkun]

Awesome! Where did that beatboxing kid come from? That made it extra cool.

[Fatgerman]

I so wish I'd been to a school like that. BIG congratulations to all involved, it brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eye.

[Bigracg]

I wouldn't mind being five again if I could go to a school like this.

[Flowerpotty]

Props to the music teacher.

This is flippin' wonderful!

[fromthewoodshed]

totally utterly brilliant!!!! if only more schools would adopt this approach.

[damkring]

fab! Bowie should donate some cash to your school musical fund as a thank you!

well done all.

[A1mar]

[silikespies]

[TrufflesRUs]

Brilliant... such a nice video during not very nice times... Nice One! : )

[foojoku]

The video's don't always match what's being played :<

[lewesnewschool]

[thetroublewithyou]

[WiggzOn]

Absolutly amazing work,

**Time may change me**

**But I can't chase time**

[CazThomas]

Yay!  Way to go, kids - fantastic!

[SuzanneBa]

Wish I could send my son to a school that is capable of bringing this quality out of all their children and some adults as well.

[thedavewilkie]

Thank you all!

[ScarletGeorge]

[ianiansymes]

This is incredible. Congratulations on an amazing piece of work.

[matkrassus]

Amazing video, you kids rock. Fantastic editing. Bowie must be v. proud!!

[AquilaTV]

Fabulous real performances :) keep up the good work

[JoeScaramanga]

This is absolutely beautiful!

My good lady is a primary teacher and is so jealous that you give the kids opportunities like this.

All they have is their christmas production.

Fantastic work from everyone involved

[StillbornChrist]

I wish they'd have done The Bewlay Brothers.

[badmanners411]

Lovely. What an excellent team effort; well done!

[0enceladus0]

I really enjoyed this! Well done to all concerned - inspiring stuff.

As a teacher myself, I really appreciated the sense of community that came across in this film, with all the age groups working together so well.

Great editing, too, btw...

[wennetvideo]

totally agree, they obviously enjoyed it too. Music should be fun.

[LumpyMoose]

This is great! Wonderful to see such creativity in both students and teachers. Rock on! What kit did you use?

[TomStannard]

Lewes New School Rocks!

[bobbyladd]

Good video. But let's be honest here. Who on earth would want to pay to listen to that crap?

[RocksterOO1]

That was excellent, fantastic editing!

That would bring a tear to a glass eye lol

But didn't the guy (a teacher i guess) at 1:55 approx ,look like Graham Norton?lol

[gwawr247]

Absolutely brilliant!!

[sean2mush]

cute

[elliekat73]

That was so unexpectedly moving! Heartwarming and very, very good. (I think they benefitted from a really good editing too! :-) )

[dogonaut]

Absolutely charming.

[dis4director]

Buy it on iTunes today! Its fab. And rate it, maybe it'll get in the charts... rock on Lewes New School!

[ZiggyOnTheTube]

How refreshing. A great classic rock song that has new life breathed into by a new generation. The video montage was fantastic as was the performance. Kudos to the kids and their teachers.

[Rocky15151515]

Awesome song choice! And the kids are so cute in this!

[MsCodfish]

This is a great version of the song! I downloaded a copy from i-tunes and can't get it out of my head. It never gets boring!

[BdALpye]

Oh so cute! Rock on little Bowie kids, rock on.

[tbjdiamonddog]

Brilliant, the lyrics totally fit what the kids are trying to do. They always have done I guess. The choreography is really good too, pretty soon your going to get older lightening stripe, stylophone the whole thing is fantastic well done, so which one of the teachers is a Bowie fan?

[0ckj]

Brilliant !!!!

[cluckcluckclock]

i loved this, so adorable! especially the stylophone at the end-- aha!

[ladystardust13uk]

[adriennecampbell7777]

it's imaginative and inspiring - and it sounds good! Applause to the singers and producers.
