[musickrz]

I really dug your cover. very haunting :) nice job

[booksol]

Probably my favourite ever song. It's not an easy song at all to cover but I really enjoyed your version and thought you did very well. Greetings from South Africa.

[classican]

@booksol Thank you very much, greetings from the UK.

[Wordster11]

Who is the sweetie featured in this video? He has the voice of a Sumerian demi-god.

Seriously, I would like to know more about this artist. The song was a stable of my youth.

Writing students, what do you make of these lyrics, in part, or as a whole?

the writing teacher.

[classican]

@Wordster11 It is a great song with great lyrics. Thank you for listening.

[markcollinscope]

[derek6678421]

really good but i wanted to see bowie so i pasded

[classican]

Thank you.

[pdserra56]

Bravo and Brave to compare yourself with David Bowie in this very difficult song!

Well done.

[classican]

Thank you.

[EmeraldGemstar09]

Marvellous!! You're good, I hope that you know that. An impressive and sustained performance that's going straight into my Favourites. Next to a Miley Cyrus live performance but you can live with that, I hope? Thanx so much for posting this.

[classican]

I can live with that lol, thank you for listening.

[palxue]

you really made an effort on this..congrats :)

And yes it is Bowie's best song.

[classican]

Thank you very much.

[ShoreHon]

This has always been my very favorite Bowie song! Nice to hear I'm not the only person who's though that! Thanks for recording this. Cool!

[classican]

I don't know how anyone could not like this song despite what I've done to it, thank you very much for listening.

[Kingdra]

Did you know David Bowie cried for 20 minutes in the bathroom after the recording of this song?

[classican]

No, I didn't know that.

[CatapultYourMom]

@Kingdra Maybe he was doing something else in the bedroom.

[daverolo87]

good job...great song...

[classican]

Thank you.

[eldrickenji]

weird voice but why not

[classican]

That's what I thought lol.

[JoblessNhappy]

A real good job, and my favorite Bowie song too. I also play guitar, and if I could get a band going with original material, and could put out a CD,. . . I would want to cut a version of it as the last track. I found this song on my mother's Space Oddity album when I was 10. Cygnet Cmm and Unwashed Somewhat Slightly Dazed blew me away, though Mom didnt care for them as much. It takes King Kong size balls to do this song and post it, and you handle your critics with class. 5 stars from me :)

[classican]

One of my very favourite songs, thank you very much.

[Kingdra]

@JoblessNhappy I really agree with this.

[classican]

Thank you.

[harley008]

Very good, a great tribute to one of Bowie's best.

[classican]

Thank you very much..

[erickmac88]

Nice!

[classican]

Thank you

[mracousticman]

you look like bono

[joshuamarsella]

I was thinking more Robin Williams

[classican]

Well, I've been called worse.

[candystore]

David Bowie was years ahead of his time. He started new age music. This track stands the test of time.

[classican]

It certainly does.

[DoRx4u]

I'll agree on Cygnet Committee being 9 of Bowie finest minutes...

But dude?

is this sarcasm??

I am confused???

is like Robin Williams mockin' the song!~

And whats up with the kareoke sounding background music?!

Not trying to be a prick, but damn...

it kinda reminds me of Chocolate Rain!

[mguntepe]

Great Pete.*****

[classican]

Thank you again

[robtim1]

I really enjoyed that ,thank you very much sir.

[classican]

I enjoyed your comment, thank you.

[kachondo]

well done !!!

[classican]

Thank you very much.

[auntiestrewth]

Fair play excellent rendition of an excellent track - well done!!

[classican]

Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

[MonkeylessJohn]

Hey Pete. I wanted to say something else.

This was truly magical, all 9 minutes plus of it!!!

A few lines that really het me were

"The Silent guns of Love will blast the sky"

"I will fight for the right to be RIGHT"

And honestly Pete, "You make me believe there is a LIGHT"

Truly amazing Pete!!!

[MonkeylessJohn]

Hi Pete. When it's your favourite from the great Bowie, then that makes it easily one of your finest performances .

This is quite wonderful, and passionate!!!

That's what I love about music!!!

Wonderful Pete!!

[classican]

Thanks very much John, nice to hear from you my friend.

[aantonella68]

Thank you for sending me the original of this song, Pete! A very difficult song to sing, you really did a very good job!

[classican]

Thanks Antonella, I appreciate it.

[classican]

Thank you, I can now die a happy man.

[hughjarse83]

more shit from a complete wanker

[aantonella68]

Congratulations! You're really a gentleman!

[aantonella68]

Of course this comment is for hughjarse83!

[DogshitBlues]

i thought it was class personally,

and the fact that you gave a straight insult not even related to the music but to a person you don't even know shows how much of a wanker you are

and probably musically retarded whom can't play a thing.

some people make me lose faith in humanity

excellent cover classican

:)

[classican]

Thank you very much, oddly enough though he does know me lol. He's my brother.

[dingues]

Wow, that's a juggernaut of a song. Outstanding work! 5 stars!

[classican]

Lol, yes it's a long one. Thanks David.

[classican]

Cheers Andy, I was into all the Punk/New Wave stuff of the late 70's but you get influenced by what older siblings played, don't you.

[spamjelly]

An insant classic! ***** Loved it Pete

[classican]

[Tilly220]
