David Bowie A New Career In A New Town

[TheThinduke01]

so ahead of its time,this was 1977,fantastic.

[watchstrap1]

eno is a genius,never ages his music

[Gefilta]

such a pity this album wasn't the soundtrack to The Man who Fell to Earth

[vintageification]

@Gefilta I agree this would have been perfect for the Man who fell to Earth, considering the soundtrack that was used in the film wasn't that good.

[PaintedDemon]

Is there a way to save, or download this song to my music list on my laptop?

[PaintedDemon]

I bought this 8 track in 1977, in 7th grade and I played this song over and over. On the school bus I would look at other kids and wonder why they didn't like this kind of music, I remember feeling different some how from them. I hadn't heard this in so many years, and it instantly reminded me of that time.

[chris92w]

not a single dislike :)

[marcuscato]

Always loved the imagery of the LP cover

[akahappy100]

Yes. 

[DomSaget]

One of my favorite song

[akirasdog]

wow ...thats all i have to say

[thedarnbarn]

I listen to this song when I'm trying to write an essay. It inspires me!

[JurkosDaria]

@thedarnbarn yeah, me too. just in this moment i'm writing my dissertation ;)

[drogheda1966]

IntractableJ:  Yep. Life is a full-spectrum magic show.

[SuperVoodooguru]

Its impossible to understate the impact this LP has when it came out. Bowie was a major name and he'd just donw his Soul Phase.

When John Peel started with Speed Of Life everything changed

[AllyWheels]

@SuperVoodooguru Did you mean to write 'overstate'?

[JustCamus]

Beautiful song. Thank you for posting.

[MEM270162]

Bowie isn't just a great artist. He's a force of nature.

[folksmell]

Anyone heard the version with the singing? The lyrics are amazing!!!!!!!

[TheJ731]

@folksmell No but I really want to hear it! I didnt even know that there was a version with singing! Can you tell me which video it is?

[drogheda1966]

@folksmell Wha-aaat?? Ou est-ce?

[dannythegent1]

I love this song!

[KimInChains]

This little song makes me think about both my past and my future. Beautiful!

[RayTheGoodMan]

I love how the harmonica is crying while the rest of the sound is uptempo and happy.... the title of the song is so appropriate!!

[svenpenie]

I recently bought low and I totally love it all the way. Each time i listen to it, I feel like all my problems just fade away to the back i really really love the entire album

[ma049]

Brings back so many memories.

Can work out if this song is making me happy or sad.

[MistakenMantis]

I have never heard a song with a more fitting title

[Ceremony13]

masterpiece.

[buschnic61]

Low's the best, I mean Alladin's the best , no wait Scary Monsters-that's the..no I mean Hunky Dory..but what about Lodger..yeah that's the one.. wait Heroes, that's fuck*n aweso...oh really though Station to Station is bada...no wait the early Spiders-that, that's the best...no wait Tin Mach...ICON

[IamJenwren]

@buschnic61 always tricky to make up one's mind..kinda depends what sort of mood your looking for......inevitably loving which ever one you choose...

[Kenebutch]

A beautiful song form a Great Album!

[TheAJandAmandaShow]

Cool song, but I just want to hear his voice. :)

[mijand]

impossible to believe LOW is 33/34 years old,absolutely ground breaking,still relevant and still having massive influence on all genre of music.my fave bowie Album by miles.

[pinopinazza]

LOW is a fucked timeless masterpiece

[StricklyPhone]

I can't think of a song which better suits its title.

[basman2006]

i love this album!! but i really like alternative and experimental music. are there any other albums of him that are worth listening to if i like that kind of stuff, or should i just go to another artist?

[CicatrizESP1992]

@basman2006 Look into what is called the Berlin Trilogy. It is three albums that Bowie did in collaboration with Brian Eno. Low is the first of the 3 followed by Heroes and Lodger. Also try listening to some krautrock. This includes but is not limited to artists like Kraftwerk, Neu!, and Can. If you want to listen to new experimental music, try Atlas Sound, Animal Collective, and Dan Deacon.

[basman2006]

@CicatrizESP1992 thx alot ;) i will try out those things!

[toftheglider]

@basman2006 earthling, heathen and buddha of suburbia are fantastic like that

[MistakenMantis]

@basman2006 chekc out Lodger, especially the tracks African Night Flight & Yassassin

[THEHITPACK]

reminds me off a sad time great track

[ibigdaddy]

Was it really that long ago? damn, I feel old!

[musikfanat]

Groundbreaking album. One must remember that Brian Eno was also a driving force behind this album.

Also, a big influence was the great German group, Kraftwerk. They set the scene for this type of music...

[sptfgpn]

Why did he go to Berlin, when he could have come to Burnley, Nelson or Colne? I don't understand.

[MrCattaan]

my bowie's favorite song and album....new c in a n t is the perfect title for this song.....

[ducessaristocat]

what a brilliant album!one of Bowie"s best albums ever!brilliant sound!and this song reminds me of another life.strange but beautiful!

[paranoidandroid192]

Who drums on this album? It seems to fit brillaintly. Also, is Bowie playing the harmonica or the keyboards? Or both?!

[yabass]

@paranoidandroid192

agree..this whole album is drum lead..totally off beat sometimes..

[athrough0]

The title of this song is perfect. It really sounds like a new beginning.

[Kingsen]

well said. I agree with you :)

[nachtraaf73]

i want this to be played at my funeral!

[lcascone86]

@nachtraaf73 I will baby. Trust me. I will

[rkingscar]

This was the first song from the album I heard in 1975 - madness, but it has a sound of joy

[capricious71]

This reminds me of two things.

The sun coming up in the morning. I just have the feeling he wrote this at about 6am or something

The other is cycling. I'd bought a bike and just happened to be listening to Low and Heroes quite a lot.

:)

[MusicthirstyGirl90]

my fave in the album

[suprematismus]

i need a new career in a new town myself

[DimebagsLeftToe]

why, didja kill someone?! hehe!

[sptfgpn]

Have you thought about being a radiographer in Glasgow? They're crying out for people.

[MrScip1985]

mac donalds somewhere in bolivia would be perfect for you cunt

[SeanCambo]

@MrScip1985 is that where u work

[rochellegalienne]

thankyou

[brezpike]

this is so perfect.. and more

[madcapoperator]

The harmonica melts my fucking heart on this!

One of my fave bowie tracks ever! And definetly his best instrumental in my eyes/ears.

[johnnyscopes]

Shit i cant explain how much this song lifts me when i hear it.

[ksdowdy61]

This album and this song in particular changed the way that I interpreted music. Muzicul pretty much hit the nail on the head with what went through my mind the first time I heard this. The synth at the end is so haunting.

[IntractableJ]

Change can be frightening and depressing, like leaving a piece of you and your loved ones behind. But it can bring new loved ones and experiences, and you know that you are always you, so things never seem too foreign to you because you know that you are the reason you're there, in some way.

[pathfinder616]

@IntractableJ very nicely put. thank you.

[loudenblogger]

@IntractableJ Thank you. I ran across your comment by chance.  I needed to hear that. Very impactful for me right now.

[deeOOgh]

@IntractableJ I love what you wrote. I'l probably soon move to another town for an entirely new job, a new carreer in a new town awaits me... and your comment expresses it so right :)

[akahappy100]

@deeOOgh Yes.

[Kubrickfan1]

Absolutely fearless!!!

[spiddia]

Mr. Bowie is a very talented man.

[Horlitz]

Great Song, great Album, great Artist.

[muzicul]

Am I the ONLY one who loves this song? Imagine a horrible monster holding a beautiful little creature in a cave - and the piano is the creature and the harmonica is the monster yanking it back on it's chain into the damp darkness. The creature never escapes the demon. BUT WAIT A SECOND the creature DOES escape, at the end...the piano goes crazy with freedom and the monster wails after him in anger but never sees the creature again!! Also what kind of piano is that middle and end? Real or synth

[botbagel]

You should be a writer, if you're not one already...sweet fluidity of words
