David Sylvian & Ryuichi Sakamoto - Forbidden Colours

[TheNewYork2LA]

Can't help but wonder where Bowie is in this video.. did he not want his video footage to be featured in another musician's video?

[ParaSoph01]

Are people tone deaf. 3 Dislikes? nah can't be right.

[ursinho68]

I was yo when I saw that movie. I've cried like a baby... and Ryuichi Sakamoto's music is still haunting me... Every time i hear it, tears are coming up to my eyes...

[rubyfrances1]

this track,introduced to me by a friends older sister,was my sole teen angst track.Im in my 40s now,yet still it chokes me.

[triciapowers]

There are several posts of this video on YouTube, but you have the cleanest, best quality version BY FAR - Thanks for posting! :)

@triciapowers

Thank You, this is why I posted it :-)

[2merciful]

Looks and sounds like Bowie.

Never understood why they didn't go with the real thing.

Great song though.

@2merciful

Than you've probably never listened to David Sylvian? Never heard of the band Japan or his last project: Nine Horses? Damn bro...you're missing out! David Bowie is a great artist but David Sylvian is just as big, might even be a bit bigger in some ways!

[rikibitta]

@oscillatorion please,here the genius is mr Sakamoto, Bowie a great singer and good musician,Sylvian rubbish from '80...for the love of precision.

[ShoutingParalized]

@rikibitta his voice is good and saying that someone's rubbish is fucking mean.

[rikibitta]

@ShoutingParalized ya ya,sorry only a little ironic provocation!

I was 16 in 1985 ,at the time my musical taste were Hendrix & Zappa -now Bach & Coltrane. But not important,take a ride on the composer's solo piano version here on Utube...just for curiosity.

ps: sry my idiot english, Italy Medioevo here .)

[ShoutingParalized]

@rikibitta I know I like that version better as well :)

[yaksuit]

@rikibitta Tin Drum?

[rikibitta]

@yaksuit  ...sorry but i don't understand (?)

[TheNewYork2LA]

@2merciful Yeah me too...I can't help but wonder why Bowie and Sakamoto did not collaborate on the music - it would have been a rage since they were playing the romantic pair in the film and both were renowned musicians!

Bowie's film video footage is not even on this music video! Contract policies or something? Can't help but wonder :)

[cyberdolly08]

i was born in the 90's and the music during that time was ok. but the 80's era was amazing. im 18 now and im beginning to like 80's music. this song is brilliant

[newboldowl]

What are you going on about, how gives a dam, this is the 80's finest, from 85 it just went tits up....full stop.....

[ztcatchy]

beautiful <3 thanks for a hq version (finally!)

[Homoholic]

Does anyone remember the original UK single version which is a nice synthpop track - as opposed to this 'acoustic' version?

Mind you, I haven't heard it for over 20 years so maybe I am mistaken. There was a synthpop band in the 90s named after this song...

[KlimovArtem1]

Oh my.... How people can like his voice???

[Glenda8P]

Beautifull song! <3

@nifledatinairda

I think he is trying to say that David Bowie influenced Early 80s imagery, art e.t.c... in the form of David Sylvian e.t.c.... being influenced. Though I feel that David Sylvian is very much an individual in his style of music.

He is then saying Madonna influenced the next generation in the mid 80s....

Am I correct?

[monroeboy80]

@TheNouveauxdecadence

yes.

[monroeboy80]

Sometimes I wonder what the early 80's music scene would have been without the creation of Ziggy Stardust and Bowie. His influence seemed to be tantamount to any other entertainer from the 1970's. It stretched far and wide. Changing many early 80's stars lives and influencing a whole generation. Then came Madonna a girl from the Mid West that came to New York to be a dancer. Her influence on young women entertainers did just the same.

[tNJippoes]

Fantastic song :) I had forgotten it - thank you......
