David Bowie - After All

[nu11hed]

This video is proof that Bowie does not exhale.

[Spirou12345678]

my favorite album. Ziggy comes second.

Yes I stand for this.

[vincenzocervelli1]

beautiful!

[chirilloff]

one of my favourite's . I aalways dreamed of hearing it live, with no luck though.

[tovakaye]

whoa

[jemappelledrwholuvr]

what is "oh by jingo" supposed to mean? is that like 'what the heck' in british?

[erintheirish]

it;s a bit like 'oh my god' often used by the posh to show surprise or excitement.:)

xx

[mdr23]

This tune won't leave my head. It's been like this for 3 weeks now. Haunting, curious and brilliant. My favourite Bowie track currently, apart from Subterraneans.

[baby1cham]

Amazing song!!!!!

[xBlackWaterxx]

this guy sucks

[sophiepritch555]

@xBlackWaterxx are you fucking serious? fair enough i dont think this is his best song but go listen to every song on the ziggy stardust album, then say he's shit.

[MrMAHBOI1]

@sophiepritch555 then after that, he'll need to listen to station to station and the berlin trilogy.

[howltothemoon101]

@xBlackWaterxx you are obviously one of the punk teens listening to that rap crap on the radio. get a life

[XpegasusheartX]

@howltothemoon101 Fortunatley, not all teens do. Fourteen years old and listen to more music from my dad's childhood than my own, thankyou! But I agree, most teenagers nowadays have an awful taste in music, and no sense of individuality. It makes me sad. I was clearly born in the wrong decade.

[roejogan8]

@xBlackWaterxx you fucking freak. how can u listen to this and say it sucks? you obviously have no ear for music you little piece of shit.

[99truckstop]

i seem to grow into Bowies music .....the stuff he did in the 90's I didn't get into until 2000 .I didn't hear the stuff he did in 67 till the 90's .....it blew my mind that he had written a song about pedophile when a lot of artists today would be scared shit-less of " touching" the subject ( for want of a better word )

[99truckstop]

I seem to grow into Bowies music .....the stuff he did in the ninety's I didn't really get into until 2000

[Johnny123456789x]

If there is something that always astounds me about this song, it's that it shows perfectly Bowie's ability to render every word with exactly the appropiate feeling.

[jemappelledrwholuvr]

@Johnny123456789x

wow. i never wouldve thought of david like that b4. Deep Man! ;)

[ezaube1030]

I have no words for this beauty

[bluebeeem]

genius

[ezaube1030]

I almost have forgotten about this song... how beautiful it is

[daveated]

by jingo!

[moondog50002000]

Don't forget Mock Ronson he wrote most of the music on this CD

[Count22]

@moondog50002000 Rock Monson had nothing to do with this..lol...other than to do whatever Bowie asked of him.Mick was quite aware of who he had linked-up with.I was there.There wasnt anything this honest anywhere.

Nobody cared what your personal quests were.This was a moment of pure genius and a very bright individual.

[gr8skpz]

@moondog50002000 its mick ronson, not mock ronson or rock monson , you maroon...

[Spirou12345678]

@moondog50002000

Bowie consider it Ronson's co-album, but not for the writing but for the arrangement.

[MrSuperdico]

Great song. I really ought to get David's complete albums and not only some insipide compils!

[sergiosozi]

Is there anybody speaking Italian? that's because I've no words enough for expressing what I am feeling 'bout this song - that I heard so many years ago, when I was teenager. So, sorry, but I'm gonna write it down in my language: E' una canzone straziante. Prima o poi la cantero', se avro' la fortuna di trovare un gruppo per poterlo fare (negli anni Novanta cantavo, altro che scrivere, eh eh eh!)...

Bacetto a tutti.

[Farandahl]

@sergiosozi Il ragazzo e sorprrendente. La sua voce e una caratteristica distintiva e c'e una tale emozione e intensita per i testi e il modo in cui sono cantante che non si puo fare a meno de sentire come una cosa fisica e non solo uditivo. No? :)

[norcicoso]

@sergiosozi capisco cosa intendi, roba d'altri tempi. Piacerebbe anke a me poter suonare Bowie, sn baterista. ciao.

[sergiosozi]

[HolgerHelfert]

timeless, fantastic songs on this album!!!!

[Jordyjg]

what the fuck.. sounds like their saying jay gall...

[KurtCobainof21]

I think Bowie was telling the truth when he said he was the man from mars. No earthling could write such songs

[tarzanlordofthe]

I've occasionally thought that too. He just seems to be different form anyone else in so many ways.

[FatuousAnility]

Nobody even comes close to this....

[kajwilhelm]

Brilliant. Nowdays they don't make songs like this. It's a shame. It's good that we have YT! Wohoo!

[cambsjeff]

I'm so used to the classics of Hunky Dory which has outshone much of his work, I'd forgotten the brilliance of Bowie. This is AMAZING. Many thanks.

[vsu5100]

A fantastic song from Bowie. Lyrically so haunting and with buddhism thrown in! Lost for words.

[himrod67]

Listened to this song 150 times straight on LSD. David Bowie really is the Man from Mars!!!!!

[metalmickey07]

@himrod67 I can so imagine what that was like, I did somethng similar listening to Preludes' version of After The Goldrush !

[ioriorioriorio]

@himrod67 str8 or on acid???....were you both ???  better man then me mister

[Count22]

Its actually an old Whalers Term. 'Oh By Jingo' ..may have got it from the novel Moby Dick. ...but Bowie drags it lifeless,,with an incredible message to everyone. 

[royalnash]

every song i listen to someone says this is the best song by bowie all his songs cant be best songs now.

[Adominae]

It's about going through the world enlightened.

[wallydhonk]

Genius

[krazyllah]

Like i'm stuck in some psycho circus... It's fucking awesome!

[ezramead]

oh, by jingo

[aqajahua]

thank you for this song. i always listen to this.

[dogknobber]

i'm crying as i listen, the lyrics are so expressive! were just taller children thats all ---after all

[aqajahua]

@dogknobber that s all. but such a nice feeling that there are others too.

[Richie979]

He wandered onto the Royal Court Theatre stage in Liverpool 2004(i think?) playing this on his accousic guitar onto a dark stage? and just Blew the fucking place apart!. On the Earthing tour.

There'll never be another like him. Brilliant!. Richie.e

[ViddyOMG]

@Kanarie1973 - And where would Space Oddity and Hunky Dory figure in that list of yours? These were also great albums with brilliant classic songs on both, for example the mighty and epic Cygnet Commitee on Space Oddity, and the fantastic The Bewlay Brothers on Hunky Dory, to name but two! Both of the albums you refer to are also great and so are these 2 and have to be the top 4 imho, although the ordering of them would be debateable.

[ziggy95]

@ViddyOMG I have to say that The Bewley Brothers is my favorite DB song ever, and that's from a fan of over 40 years

[ViddyOMG]

There are so many great songs though to choose between that it could make making the choice a little difficult, but it has to be up there with his best.

[behkanzi]

man hes sexy!

[Kanarie1973]

Ziggy Stardust is just a little better, but The Man Who Sold The World comes in second. Great, great album!

[Count22]

fuckin Bowie

[austra01]

Yes ,a very underrated album.outstanding

[SKOTHAI]

What a beautiful song...

[Sokram1987]

Mmmm... The Man Who Sold The World... maybe the most underrated album in the music industry. One of the pioneering albums for the hard rock/heavy metal/gothic style.

This track specially gives me a dark and ghostly sensation :O

[chrisharro]

Whenever I hear this song I feel as though I'm being hypnotized - especially when Bowie sings(says), "forget all I've said/ please bear me no ill" - and the lulling "Oh by jingo's". The most chilling line is, "we're nobody's children at all, after all". Abandoned, lonely and sad - forever.

[wilmiro1]

I feel the same when I hear this song. One of the best songs ever been.

[aqajahua]

i visualize a cortège. a slow cortège towards the dark graves.

[Dogstar060763]

Beautiful song, from a master songwriter. Utterly bewitching and haunting.

[AbysalFilms]

Love It!

[laubowiebass]

This is from 1971 . Beautiful.

[stagesofcoma]

1970, actually... 1971 was Hunky Dory. This one's from The Man Who Sold The World.

[asenia]

The guitar in the background reminds me of the Silent Hill theme.

[MachoLibRey]

haha yeah i can see that

[zipppit89]

that and "sour times" by portishead

[MENCADO]

I haven't heard this in soo long. I lllllooooooooov v v v v v v v veeeeee this song.

[m522666]

as much as I love Bowie to death, I believe that Tori Amos' cover is extraordinary! I love both the original and the cover!

[KseniaStardust]

I heard it first time right now...god, Bowie makes me fall in love with his music again and again with every song that I haven't heard before...amazing.

[Count22]

Yeah,  I think we're all humbled by this one.

[GosnDejo]

Without a doubt Bowie's most underrated song and one of my personal favourites. His voice here is so serene, yet so vulnerable and wistful.

[doctorw2]

this song is beautifully zen.

[Wilbardack]

...why it reminds me of the soundtracks from tim burton's movies?? XD

[louiseduvee]

thanks!

[falconhead67]

what a haunting-beautiful song

[jupitorman]

i feel ike crying when i here this song so so so soothing

[fireflyzip]

oh my how true.....

[aqajahua]

Humbleness of vocals, darkness of sounds, a bit of hope to be heard in some areas.

[Pollymax5]

so beautiful - he is the best, allways will.

[harphan]

Beautifull song !....

[Tweenythepriest]

Best songs David Bowie has done in my opinion. :)

Don't go by jingo!

[alluurpo]

I agree =)
