  • i love david bowie, i'll admit im 16

  • SILLY EYEBALL!

  • Thumbs up if you hate when people say how old they are on the comments of classic rock videos! I really don't give a fuck how old anyone here is.

  • @needles1987 David Bowie is 65 today.

  • @needles1987 yeah like stfu ppl

  • wicked good song. i can admit it, and i am 15! :)

  • WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING, TELLING YOUR AGE ON THE INTERNET!!? "NEVER TELL YOUR AGE ON THE INTERNET", CYBER RULE 3. HOLY CRAP GET READY OR THOSE PEDOS

  • LOVE THIS SONG! learning to play it on the piano :D

  • i want his eyes, holy crap they are sexy

  • @ForeverEdgy no miss you are not!!! i love bowie

  • @zombiiebiitchxxx why does it matter how old we are?! just shut up! u r annoying!

  • 1:48 used that lyric in a high school essay. got an A.

  • why am i on top comments?

  • @zombiiebiitchxxx just shut up ok? i think its cool that kids now can like music from 20, 30 years ok. so just shut up! :)

  • @ForeverEdgy im 14 and i love david bowie!! :)

  • whateva whateva....I do what i want

  • david bowie= very talented man. 

  • Got at least one misspelling in the lyrics. STILL needs 2 "L"s in it....watch and see where you need to correct it. Other than that, VERY WELL DONE, and nice transitions between phrases. (You also have the chance to take out the extra word you put in.) Listen carefully, and you'll find one of the pages needs an "and".

    I especially like this song because we used it as the FOX Network's start-up theme, to give the sense that the new network would be different from what everyone was used to.

  • are you okay bowie? what was that sound?

  • david bowie

    took out the

    industrial

    norm and

    along he

    came

    a

    star-man

  • There are probably many who listen to David Bowie who are under 18. All my friends and I listen to Bowie, Lou Reed, Billylee Janey and other gods of rock and obscure gems.

  • why is David Bowie's eyes different colors

  • @titanic5577 Its called Heterochromia

  • @titanic5577 Because he's that awesome.

  • @titanic5577 He had an accident as a teenager. I believe his iris is permanently dilated.

    

  • @MrMonsterstiffy Yeah he got punched in the eye by a friend who was wearing a ring.

  • @rainbowXXdaemon maybe his eye color just ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

  • Rip David Bowie

  • @Kp947 he isn't dead...

  • great sax!! great artist!

  • I hope im not the only 15 year old girl listening to David Bowie :)

  • @ForeverEdgy Nope :)

  • @ForeverEdgy No way!! :D

  • @ForeverEdgy No...But I bet im the only 13 year old (:

  • @ForeverEdgy

    I'm actually 13,but my dad was singing this the other day and I recalled it from my childhood

  • @ForeverEdgy i actually heard many sophmores in my school singing this song today so you're not :)

  • @ForeverEdgy

    haahaa i thought i was the only one :P

  • @ForeverEdgy youre not xD

  • @ForeverEdgy I'm not fifteen, i'm thirteen

  • @ForeverEdgy 16...close enough :P

  • @ForeverEdgy and im a guy lol xD

  • @ForeverEdgy Nobody gives a shit how old anyone on here is. I fucking hate obnoxious people like you. "Look at me, I'm only 15, and I listen to something other than Justin Bieber! I'm so unique and cultured!" Shut up bitch, you're still a self-absorbed, pretentious child.

  • @zombiiebiitchxxx I think that was really immature of you to say especially if you are older than me.It was just a thought,like any other comment on youtube and it actually got plenty of thumbs up from people who thought the same.If you want to teach me how to be "grown up" and not "obnoxious" do it in the right way.

  • @zombiiebiitchxxx

    Talk about misdirected hate.

  • @Eivyll Not really. Every song made before 2006 has a top comment along the lines of "I'm only 13/14/15 and I like The Beatles/Nirvana/David Bowie." Big fucking deal. How is that even relevant.

  • @zombiiebiitchxxx

    A lot of pre-teens and teenagers are bullied and teased for liking musicians other than the stars of the day. What's wrong with a kid wanting a little validation? And often kids don't know about older recording artists, since the height of their fame came before they were born. To assume a 15 year old is a self-absorbed "bitch" for such an innocuous comment is pretty pretentious in and of itself. You're an adult. You should know better than to cyber-bully minors.

  • @Eivyll ..I don't know what planet you're from, but I don't know of any children being bullied for listening to classic rock. A teenager requiring validation for their musical choice is likely an attention whore.

    Also, bitches need to shut the fuck up about cyber-bullying. I didn't threaten her, I called her out for being a pretentious bitch. If that's too harsh for said child, she can get the fuck off the internet.

  • @zombiiebiitchxxx well i think you should sht the hell up, stop complaining about everything that goes on, and enjoy the music. thats what were here for, and if you dont like it , then stop listening to good music, because people have a right to state what they want to state, so back off!!!!

  • @mrliveleaf Lol, back off? Comments are enabled for this video, and like you said, I have the right to call people pretentious bitches. I listen to what I want, and insult who I want. That's the beauty of the first amendment, sweetie. :)

  •  Ha! '' i listen to who i want and insult who i want''?!?! you sound like a spoiled three year old, sweetie.

  • @zombiiebiitchxxx oh, and if thats too harsh for you than get the fuck off the internet

  • @ForeverEdgy I am also a 15 year old girl, and thrilled after reading that im not the only 15 year old girl with good taste in music

  • @ForeverEdgy haha lol i am too :))

  • @ForeverEdgy nope,me too :)

  • @ForeverEdgy its great to see that your growing up listening to good music and not trash

  • @ForeverEdgy 16 xD

  • @ForeverEdgy I'm a 13 year old boy. I love oldies music. like ACDC and jackyl and motly crue and david bowie. you should look up Rock Sugar. they are a modern band from today that records songs from the 80's and they record mashups. just look it up

  • @ForeverEdgy of course you're not :) i'm 15 too and I <3 this music :D

  • @ForeverEdgy I agree melinda

  • @ForeverEdgy this is the only song i like by him... one: its good... second: its on shrek(:

  • @ForeverEdgy Nope :]

  • @ForeverEdgy No, you are not the only ;)

  • @ForeverEdgy im not 15 (im 16 XD) but i listen to david bowie his actually my favorite musician because of those things hes songs are about like "starman" it really makes me think of one of my interests: aliens and then theres "life on mars?" nothing can make me think about......well anything like that song does first it makes me think of life then aliens and now when i feel terrible it makes me think of the way im feeling right now i think his music is amazing

  • @ForeverEdgy oh and i forgot to tell that im a boy XD

  • @ForeverEdgy Everyone on youtube is under 18. THIS COMMENT IS EVERYWHERE!!!

  • well think about it- 'strange' /does/ rhyme more closely with change than 'strain' does.

  • TURN AND FACE THE STRANGE***

  • Great Lyrics & Great Song!

    

  • Dexter Showtime :)

  • shit! he's got eyes like my dad and I!

  • @happyoldMEN Because of a fight he got into in junior high over a girl! :O!!!!

  • @happyoldMEN

    awwwww lol :)

  • thats a very nice haircut you have there

  • the dyslexia nmade me chuckle o)

  • COMIC SANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

  • is the pupil in his left eye really bigger than the other one?(thats really cool)

  • @samruiz0000 Yup, its cause he got punched in the face

  • @samruiz0000 he was in a fight back when he was younger.

  • @iluvcheesecakechic awe man what a bad-ass xD

  • Should probably check the lyrics before you make a video with them in it... ("face the STRANGE")

  • It's turn and face the strange or strain?

  • he's so cool, he has 2 different coloured eyes like me! ( hetero chromea irridium ) =P

  • @WhatWouldHermioneDo1 actually, that's not quite true. his eyes appear differently colored, but in reality, one of his eyes is malfunctioning- the pupil got punched and now it doesn't dilate properly. This gives his eyes the appearance of being mismatched. If you look closely, you can see how the pupils are differently sized.

    still, i think it's really cool that your eyes are mismatched. XD

  • @rainbowXXdaemon I do not know much about David Bowie but why did he get punched?

  • @MultiMark95 as i recall, he and a friend of his were fighting over a girl. at least, that's how wikipedia told it

  • @L96A1DeFiaNT LOL!

  • I love this song!

    P.S.

    If you live in Nashville you should TOTALLY come to this show I'm doing. Act Like A Girl. Next Thursday night and Friday night at 7: 3o PM! ^-^

  • this song is in shrek! but a girl sings it :)

  • 7 people dont like changes

  • lots of talk about the lyrics. Not that it really matters, but it's 'strange' as opposed to 'strain'. As for his eyes(the bulk of the other comments lol), I think they are actually the same colour. He got in a fight over a girl as a kid with a mate which left him with a permanently enlarged pupil which makes it appear to be be a different colour from the other one. Good song

  • Did david bowie just have one space suit, or did he have several ch-ch-ch-ch-changes.

  • @Beaverhead100 Flight of the Conchords

  • Too many long words used at the beginning lol.

  • obviously, plenty of you don't have ears to listen, because you can clearly hear him singing "strange" several times...

    ....also, the game!

  • ya guys. i think he's saying "turn and face the strange changes". it just makes sense.

  • turn and face the strain,,;)..

    

  • turn and face the strain,,

  • I thought it was "turn and face the strange," too, but I think it's "turn and face the STRINGS." I realized that this song is about performing, and to face away from the audience in pain/fright/shame etc, you would literally turn yourself to face the pit orchestra, or the strings.

  • I think my mouse is gonna break from me hitting replay so many times. :)

  • It *IS* Strange changes, as far as I can tell; I can hear the g, at least in one part of the chorus. the other part is questionable.

  • It's ironic because his music and image has stayed fresh over 40 years by changing. awesome musician :D

  • i think i heard this song on shrek and i appsolutly luved it!! Cant stop listening...GO DAVID BOWIE

  • i love the music in between :)

  • changes are for the better or worse my grandpa said to me with his last breath in life

  • 5 people couldn't change

  • When you're doing lyrics, get the grammar right...

  • how young is this badass?

  • your right.....great song

  • 5 people did not change in puberty

  • This song is about how we can find Allah through prayer.

  • @Tazza17 uhhhh...im not sure that is the message he was aiming to get across

  • @Tazza17 What the hell Allah has to do with this?

    It's just about how we grow and change through our life

  • @Tazza17 It doesn't refer to Allah or anything about praying. Seriously, just GTFO if you're going to be all preachy about any religion. From your friendly neighbourhood atheist ^_^

  • @Tazza17 Like Hell it is.

  • Via Ciro Long Live Egypt !!

  • zo leuk lied ooo yeah

  • Thankyou! I love this song. The 5 people that don't don't like this should grow up and out of it. lol

  • Thankyou! I love this song. The 5 people that don't don't like this should grow up and out of it. lol

  • if you listen hard enough you can hear the -ge for the word strange, not strain...at least -I- can

  • dodgey eyes.....but it makes him look even more

  • the intro sounds really familiar. is it a sample/ has it been sampled?

  • i tough it was time may change me but i cant change time

  • @liae2 i did too. it would make a bit more sense.

  • David Bowie a.k.a Ziggy Stardust - King of Glam Rock <3

  • @Darkangelrock92 i used to call him major tom

  • CLASSIC ! (:

  • And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds are immune to your consultaions. they're quite aware of what they're going through.

    Truer words never spoken

  • i have trouble listening to this because when i think about this it makes me think about getting older and my dogs dieing. theyre 6. i lovez them but they only have about 2 years left in them and ive lost to many things close to me already and i dont know what ill do if it happens again. :(

  • Strange rhymes with change, so looking at the lyrics written down on paper, it's pretty strong circumstantial evidence from a literary point-of-view.

    It sounds like Jimi Hendrix is saying, "Excuse me while I kiss this guy", but he's not. He was just singing lazily, so it sounded like that. I believe this is a similar case. People who don't think so are pretty much blockheads.

  • his eyes were really like tht :/

  • ~HEY EVERYONE CHECK THIS VID IF U WANA~

    MATT CHANDLER TRISTAN

  • always awesome!

    great artist!

  • thanks for this. just discovered this song and totally luvin' it ;-D

  • its def strange. "turn and face the strange ccchanges" vs "turn and face the strain ccchanges". the former makes sense while the latter doesnt..

  • @qyet121csx Having to change often produces strain. Strain also often compels us to Change. Makes a lot of sense.

  • Love love love love

  • This has been stuck in my head all day, I love it!

  • this song is coolz

    ch ch changes

  • does it really matter whether or not its strain or strange? they both work, and its a good song and doesn't deserve an argument in the comments XD lol

    good job

  • I think it's strain...

  • SHREK SONG!!!! :D

  • this is my song of the day cause i had a weird urge to listen to it. so im going to. over and over again :)

    also, it sounds like strange to me.

  • it is most definitely STRANGE. u can tell b/c they are talking about the changes people go through during different stages of their life. mainly the ones people go through during puberty thus that is y it is STRANGE not strain.

  • its strange

    

  • Great vid! Thanks for uploading it.

  • "Strange" is the logical word in the chorus. Turn and face the strange changes.

  • Comment removed

  • -

    ...strange fascinations...turn and face that strange. Case closed!

  • it's strange. it doesn't work with strain... turn and face the epidemic [changes] vs. turn and face the strange [changes] and listen closely you can hear the -ge under the ch-
