David Bowie - Wild Is The Wind

[AudreyR622]

Bowie is a God...and a genius

[lolabel]

This version is great. Nina Simone's version is great. They are so different they might as well be different songs. Who isn't in love with Bowie after this version, though?!

[RoryNights]

Really nice song.. a new one for me.. but a catchy sound.. David's voice is great as always. Thank-you for another gem !

[bowie12]

tony visconti is on the cello

[Coklan]

This in my humble opinion is the greatest song that David Bowie has ever performed. A haunting video and the only one that I watch on a regular basis.. I wonder if the dude with the sax forgot his part...

[psychicmom]

This song gives me shivers down my spine every time I hear it!!!!

[taylorwilliam13]

Bowie is wonderful, but nothing compares to Nina's version.

[spirit2dance]

I just love this song...not one you hear often, but it's soooo good!

[AESJimmy]

ALPHA DOG!!!!!!!!

[bobdole350]

Look, Ziggy Stardust is one of the top 5 albums of all time; I am moved to tears by it, but he should not have touched this Nina Simone track.

[alldaywatcher]

@bobdole350 explain to us how this is any less a David Bowie track than it is a Nina Simone track when they both covered it?

I think they've both done the song justice, each in their own way.

[deansusky]

Such great voice life and music without him would have been DEATH

[MB410617]

His singing during the last minute of this song is completely unreal.

[lpride1]

@MB410617 Yes, his voice just soars...

[swami19581]

Written by Dimitri Tiomkin and Ned Washington

[TheeZulu]

One of the most amazing, beautiful romantic ballads ever written and performed. Bowie is such a Master!

[deansusky]

My Gooooooooooossssssseeeeeeeeee buuuuumppppppppppsssssss

[murielduvaldemarne]

cult !!!

[jolein1960]

Voor Jeannette

[jaynies1]

forgotten how stunning this is

[JustgetPlanted]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written and sung by the icon that is BOWIE!!!

[cytuber]

@JustgetPlanted

Bowie didn't write this one. It's an old 1950's song from a movie called 'Wild is the Wind". There's been a couple of versions - one by Nina Simone. This is by far the best version (in my opinion). The power and passion are chilling.

[bzylizzy]

love it, amazing, awsome, fab...........

[russiancatsima]

His best video. Highly professional video, singing, music..everything in style and beauty.

[menash23]

amazing, and when i heard it in Alpha Dog it just made it much more better.

[Flunder]

just lovely.the best.

[JTlovesDexter]

With your kiss....my life begins

David Bowie is pure genius!!

[MrDonegalboy]

ultimate cool

[gorillabelly1]

Too bad they didn't do a vid back then for Word On A Wing. Way better song than this.

[SModikoane]

I loved all the songs on this album. TVC15 was great too!

[bernadette607]

Beautiful song, Beautiful Man..!

[deansusky]

Super

[Bruno64]

David at his best, beautiful song, beautiful words

[penjual30]

one of the best performers ever!! One of his best songs..

[cynkal]

best version of this song...ever.

[gerladiant]

Yes, he is a legend, his songs are my youth his face my memories and his non ageing my envy!

[writingfool7734]

I will never hear this song again without seeing your face, David...

Stylish, skillful, classic...

Perfect.

A true artist.

[kaini]

incredible vocal performance on this.

[lllamia]

He has great range.

[MyCatWatchesMe]

David, I want you to know I've made love with this song on my stereo. You give so much. xx

[lenriquebb]

It's a beatiful song

[MrBushdog]

this one , Lady Grinning Soul ,etc. the cat is a genuis !

[bongerman71]

Nice

[uclrichard]

i had my first gay kiss to this song - back in the sixth form - in an english grammar school...in 1982

don't look back - as bob dylan said...

[bragee]

only bowie can sing this way. that's absolutely awesome.

video is bit cut at the end but really good though

[R19P82]

Superb.

[KerryGrl]

Yup. That was great.

[ThePistolpete1963]

such a beautiful song sung with such emotion

[brayrrero]

good bowie song

[chrisnouvelle41]

simply stunning!

[martinw600]

Genius. There is no more to say. To take a song like this, change it so radically, and make it sound like THE definitive way to sing it... genius...

[sallyfieldrequired]

i haven't heard a bowie song from 1969 to 1985 that i don't like and this is no acception, it's brilliant

[nikicover]

really terrific.....so cool. So particular...

wow...

[cippocigno]

Fashion...

[beauter12345]

ma préférer de Bowie

[gnaediges]

My favourite. I flew with you. Soo far. Well, and I do know I/m life itself. And even after 21 years of hoping, I still believe we will meet some day, and we will drink the oldest wine, and I take you to my castle and be happy at the sound of your voice. We might be eighty til then, but good things need some time. But then you´ll write a poem in a letter and the drowned girl will smile again, and time smokes a cigarette and in the underground we will find someone true.

[sfmain]

looks like he made it back from mars around that time good song!

[russiancatsima]

Classy, stylish, professional, simple.. balanced,. Superb. The proffessional video goes perfectly with his vocal, style and beauty. The song originally from 1956 is fantasic.

[Lonestarry]

Such a passionate version of this song - only DB can "croon" 'em like that. He mastered this difficult melody with the ease of a sprinting gazelle.......wow. He's a true artist.

[eastcstsrfr]

is their a version that is actually portrayed like the vid w/ a double bass and less effects more like "drowned girl"

[croixscailleterror]

a beauty

[paulus837]

One of my favoritee bowie tracks

[botbagel]

louann5840, I know EXACTLY what you mean!!! My dilemma is not just my glasses, but my brain/heart!!

[louann5840]

That's HOT!! Somebody get me a fan and a drink, my glasses are fogged up!

[Morwes1988]

Piękny utwór w znakomitym wykonaniu!

[cri64italia]

...si commenta da sola....

[babygrace9]

This is an impeccable song.  Truly stunning.

[botbagel]

I AM SO HAPPY/JEALOUS/ENVIOUS/STOCKED/­FREAKED/BIZARRED'...for MISS IMAN...FREAKON WOMAN LUCKY YOU WIFE OF DAVID...YOU BEAUTIFUL FUCKING AFRICAN...I WANNA BE YOU...

[botbagel]

My first 'true' lust idol...things HAVE NOT CHANGED!!  What an artist...Bowie you are IT!!!!!

[1966snip]

My favourite Bowie song!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it. Followed by Under pressure remix with Queen

[Zigaldiam]

if there was ever a song that just makes you want to 'orgasm'......this is it :-)

a totally 'stunning' song.but then,it's bound to be,because Bowie's singing it :-)

[LolittaLondon]

David, Thank You!

For You are...

I love You so much...

All my life....

Thank You!

Oh David, I need you at the moment :) not in a sexual way! Don't thik I'm being perverted!!!! No, he's my inspiration for my artwork, my creativity, everything I made that was a success was because of David Bowie, he's just spectacular

[china027]

David this is so breath taking!Beautiful song, I like it better then Nina's.

[firefl49]

best ballad he has ever done! bowie is a legend!

[popsicle2006]

David Bowies best love song. His voice is just amazing. Truly gifted (and handsome)

[tialeetull]

this is absolutely one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. i just love this rendition by bowie. and very difficult to sing - range is everything.

[kethertomalkuth]

Is that David Sanborn just holding a saxophone but not playing a note in this video?

[Hollabuck]

Ingenious

[3ziabeth]

perfection. thank you.
