Absolute Beginners - David Bowie

[kathleentherose]

I love Bowie, what a voice!

[magdalene404]

absolutely brilliant, never grow tired of this music

[afulgoni]

A Great David Bowie for a great song.

[777philip]

I loved the 80's this song brings back so many memories of a magical time!!!

[cdesign09]

he is so ahead of his time although i feel time is an irrelevant consequence of mind over matter. His mind is right in the moment.

[pani40]

awsome song, beats the hell outa justin bieber crap music!

[pazurlizedupy]

bowie is da man.

[WloszkaPL]

This song reminds me childhood, because my parents had it recorded on an analog audio tape.

After all these years a few weeks ago I've heard it in a radio and I felt in love. Lyrics are absolutley beautiful!!!

[Gernot2003]

I remember when A&E used to broadcast this movie at 3 AM, and I'd watch it just to catch this song! :)

[1200com]

Wow! the girl reminds me of Neytiri from Avatar for some reason, she behaves tribal like and leaves color behind where she touches.. and they didn't even dream about the movie in 2010. Awesome song though! loved it!

Encontrei mais uma musica rara de beijar na boca apaixonadamente! uuhuuuuuu!!!!

[nandobertelli]

SENSACIONAL

[MsTinkerbelify]

david bowie is a legend one of my favourite songs

[augustinhodamasceno]

musica linda baubaubaubauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Linedash]

Ah, this song takes me back.

I remember well when I first saw the movie. good times.

[mamartingil]

The film is not really worth watching (not even for Patsy Kensit), but the song is gorgeous; a milestone on Bowie's production.

[fbferrari]

Internet is really amazing. Never heard about this film, until Youtube came. Watched this video and undertsood that there was a film behind this amazing song (which I knew already). Four weeks ago I bought the film...

[liesjes55]

did you liked it ?? the movie ?

[fbferrari]

truly liked. I recommend you to grab it and watch it. Cheers!

[cshargeit]

the year after the nasa spaceship exploded... your nuts if if you dont get the connection. it produced a need for saxaphones

[angloyank]

This movie isn't very good, but it is somehow fascinating, if I may use so strong a word. LOVE this song!!!

[Skulldini]

Actualy, I never did see the movie ( I remember when it was released though ). Did Bowie have a dramatic part in it ?

[angloyank]

The movie did have some good points but it was disjointed and a bit ridiculous. Think West Side Story on LSD. Bowie looked awesome as usual, but if I remember rightly, it was basically a cameo as an producer/agent or something, and he was putting on this bad American accent.

[coolbeans552]

This song makes me so sad because I wasnt alive in those times to hear such beautiful and meaningful music :' ) <3

[eyefreesia]

me too, friend but

you know, it's not our fault, we just can keep on listening to it <3 !! and let go the regret ! :)

[2s2s2ss]

I can still feel my teen emotions with these songs....I was 15/16(1986)and with my 1st girlfriend..we watched this film in cinema on our first date(Absolute Beginners indeed!)...in small town in Ireland...but it makes me sad too! and I was alive then!..so you can't win!..hihi.;-)

[iloozija]

beautiful :)

[ppcasey9]

@coolbeans552 - Nope be glad you weren't alive then great song that it is otherwise you'd be in ur 40s or 50s and DB is 63

Glad you like it the song but never wish to swap your life span! Because you probably have more great experiences to live yet! I bet even DB would swap with you knowing the visionary that he is!!!

[o4fcuksake]

Bowie....The Best In The World.

Other just follow in contempt !!!!

[railfan456789]

This is ABSOLUTELY best song from a movie!!

[Depelche]

I love this song. David, you're a myth!

[bodhisattvic]

the lovesong of two dear friends of mine who already crossed over for years eevry time I hear this I think of them and get tears in my eyes, they loved eachother so much ... ♥

[birdmadmen]

what a bullshit, you look like gay, faggy rsrsrsr

[bobafettucini]

you should really try to master the english language before attempting to insult someone, ass.

[birdmadmen]

i don´t remember about any insult, maybe someone used my account to do some bad comment, sorry.

[Skulldini]

Uhh yeah, THAT does happen sometimes, does'nt it ?

[birdmadmen]

sure it does

[ciorci80]

brano meraviglioso !!!!

[lease1968]

You can rent the movie on Netflix. I remember watching it back in the 80's as a teen...loved the movie and the song! Thanks for posting it. :)

[chatroomchi]

cool! glad to know! I loved the movie when I was in my teens too! such an awesome soundtrack!

[monicasm123]

My Poem to David Bowie David Plays guitar On the long London streets Where the dark shadows are. The outsider watches us with eyes of uneven color. And smiles because he knows we are at our 13th hour. So on his music will be gone As the clock ticks impatiently on his songs. He understands that even now its not too late for individuals to choose the path The world cant take. Monica.

[kelsmart]

I'm reading the novel for the first time right now and it's MAD LOVE! what a fucking amazing book; i cannot wait to see waht teh movie is like , if the stores that i go to even have it!

[maohuerta]

I Miss the 80's too but Thank God we Still Have BOWIE !!!!!! Enjoy !!! And Teach The Young Ones Please !!!!!!

[jimbonnie]

All that is good about this clip is why I miss the 1980's. The music was so vital and you could get lost in the joy or melancholy of it. Thanks for the posting.

[LeagueOJustice]

The kids will never know :-(

[missionridiculous]

The movie's pretty terrible, but this is a great song

[PackLeader1990]

it doesnt look THAT bad, remember it was the 80's

[KATLABENTRE]

one of the best artist to have ever come out

[ZiggyShadowDust08]

My most favourite David Bowie song, until Teenage Wildlife that is.

Despite what people say about the film, I was determined to see it, and bought myself a region 1 copy of the film and an external DVD drive, just so I can watch region 1 DVD's. I enjoyed it.

[lordgond]

Great song for the lonely hearts!!!!

[nf0603]

I know it's not fashionable to like 80's Bowie, and frankly it's not as good as his 1970-1980 work, but this song ranks up there with his very best of any era

[aldiakaroofus]

Never seen the film, but I have the soundtrack vinyl LP, and this video on Beta Hi-Fi somewhere. Thanks for posting it.

[mickyperico]

[DazedSheep]

Not seen the film but I love the song!

What a classic

[tonymontana1974]

Your missing nothing the film was awful.

[steadydecline]

It's on par with Labyrinth.

[tonymontana1974]

Yeh but it aint as good as freejack with mick jagger that ruled.

[BowieLikesCheez]

Still a fabulous movie, regardless of what anyone says, even though Bowie didn't have a large role in it. Not this video though, it was all him here XD. Well, mostly, anyway. Love this song, love David Bowie, always jealously loath the girl kissing him. David Bowie will truly "Never Get Old"

[anthonycurran]

After seen david in dublin I knogh he;s a legend

[dyneshv]

Absolute Genius

[EWEchewbR]

Should he be encouraging littering?

[blackunst]

è bello come il sole.........

[Swagger666666]

well this isn't really best bowie's video and even not the best version of this song. the best one was performed at the bbc radio theatre and is absolutely amazing and powerful.

[steadydecline]

so, the girl in the video represents a pack of cigarettes, right? Basically, the video illustrates the powerful pull of nicotine addiction.

[Mosin54r]

naw she represents cocaine..or ckrack

[spezzlk]

so what basically represents a pack of cigarettes? if the girl does

[steadydecline]

Well, at 0:32 David Bowie is attempting to get another cigarette from a zebra box. After he realizes there are none left, he tosses it into the lake (0:41). He then goes searching around for another pack of cigarettes (0:59) when a girl appears with body paint similar to the pack of Zebra cigarettes (1:08). He then spends the entire video chasing her around. It looks like to me that he is experiencing withdraw symptoms.

[botareliyeah]

As long as you're still smiling there's nothing more I need... simply...great!!!

[jojostoneocean]

great song!!!

[seaabove]

I love you Eva

[seaabove]

I love you Eva

[Onlydreamin1959]

Such a great song and video. many people think that Bowie's efforts in the 80s were not up to par, but as far as I'm concerned, everything he has done has a meaning of some sort. Bowie is always one step ahead of what's behind him.

[mysteriousmartian]

This is such a lovely song. The video is classy and typical nutty over-the-top eighties! Cool though, they don't make it like these anymore.

[CrystalMoonLady]

Wonderful man, wonderful music.

[spruecutter]

i had sex to this song while i sang the lyrics.

[keith25658]

Wonderful Bowie's song and very nice painting of old good times!!!!

[Boondoxatron]

This video and song reminds me of me and my ex.

[Adamandthehair]

At first i didnt like it, but after a few times i have grown to love it :D wild is the wind is under rated and yet its such a beautiful song

[Rennelgale]

Not only is this a candidate for Bowie's most under-rated song, but a candidate for his best song.

[ValisX]

this is definitely a candidate for bowie's most under-rated song

[Rennelgale]

Not only is this a candidate for Bowie's most under-rated song, but a candidate for his best song...

[thunderbladestorm]

this is a masterpiece ...

[gnomo62]

...but we're absolute beginners

This isn't from the movie, it's the music video.

[unclewaynebob]

Awesome song, one of the best ever. I'm always sad when it ends, even though it is over 8 minutes long. Is that Kate Bush's voice in the song??

[arakl14]

crap movie,good music

[brabon1]

[Ennehausen]

I've heard this song a lots of time, and I really loved it! Now I've seen the first time the vid and I'm absolutely paralyzed. This is the best music-clip I've ever seen!
