If our love song Could fly over mountains Could laugh at the ocean / sail over heartaches Just like the films There's no reason To feel all the hard times To lay down the hard lines It's absolutely true ... Absolute beginners
I just recently became acquainted with this great tune on the 2 disc set:: David Bowie "The Singles", and needless to say I am delighted with the discovery! Thanks to YT for the space, OfficialDavidBowie for the upload, and last but not least, God save David Bowie and of course: ROCK ON SHINDIGGERS!
cigarettes don't work no more, women, men,riots don't work no more, maybe a bailout...nah, dat don't work...oh shit...oh shit...what a visionary, bowie, thanks?
oh now that's very silly. it's a music video,this is directed by a team behind the camera. i would asume the director told him to do it,sorry please don't be so insulting to the best artist ever in my opinion
in fact I think this 'zebra-girl' is better to appear from the very Thames than from some garbage! ;)) see the clip as a chain of CONNECTED pictures))
Has any artist ever had as successful a career over so many decades as Bowie? He is almost a genre of music to himself. He always seemed to be on the cutting edge,never quite mainstream. Talented and strange.
All of you fans and new ones. Remember, Bowie on this, or any other song has musicians playing with him, give some acknowledgement to them too. On this picticular piece, I marvel at the orchestra playing throughout the entire song. If you never have listened to classical music before, find a radio station and give it a try for a few minutes, you'll appriciate this song even more!
This person (D. Bowie) has done so many songs that are so original and good at the same time. Is there any other artist who can compare to this person, in the official artist world at least ... give the name to that person in that case.
I love david bowie's vocie. I love his music and everything about him. beautiful.
