@skipmendler Do you know that this man is now forgotten but will be forgotten when i decide we are are all forgotten and Bowie will be forgotten so can you stop about your Bowie killer. I am so glad I can be me now ..
OMG perfection, as always... dont know a better writer, singer, musician or actor.. guess im stuck on him.,. my dads fault and ill give it to my daughter too, as much as she resists she knows when Bowie sings, and she likes it haha, winner! Bowie won!
Its a great clip as usual from Bowie. If he wasn't a singer he could have been an incredible actor. As his acting ability to me, always comes out in each clip!~!
@timothyhumphries You are certainly entitled to your opinion. But the certainty with which you pronounce Bowie "dead" is really inimical to any serious appreciation or consideration of the merits of his or any other artist's creative endeavors.
His face at 2.22 reminds me of Aladdin Sane. It is amazing how he has kept everyone so intrigued over the span of 40+ years. He is truly an Icon and an amazing artist. There will never be another one like him.
Exellente chanson, une de ses meilleures (je la préfère à l'autre existante)
Pour le fun voici ma mini playlist : absolute bigginers, be my wife, strangers when we meet, life on mars, wild is the wind, word on the wing, ahes to ashes, velvet goldmine
The actual truth is that we were strangers just before we met but as this did not rhyme it was rejected. It is a shame that he thinks he can just disregard the facts for a quick buck. why not tell the truth of life rather than lie? This is wierd and cross-eyed music
What a Fantastic tribute to humanity's lack of limits, this really does show that we can produce Beauty in all its power. This song can be adapted to so may emotions and memories.
Bowie has this way of creating a powerful atmosphere and proves oh so well with this song.
A masterpiece among many others! But it´s one of my favorites! I remember attending the concert in Rio in 97 (Earthling Tour) and crying a lot when he sang this song! *_* He looked at me and ascened with his head like no, no don´t cry please.. Oh, my.. I´m almost doing it now.. Sublime.. I was 16!
This is magic for me... Gorgeous and deep video, powerful lyrics and beautiful piano line!!! Thanx, Bowie! Never let us. We need this kind of music nowadays! Thanx for sharing this gem, chocolate! Best wishes from Brazil! :)
terrific sad beauty with INCREDIBLE Style. It Oozes so much. Nice to Gail was in it too. he really makes gems that were not appreciated at the time but will not only stand the test time-but will be bench marks of what High Art is.
@StBowieno EXTREMELY WELL PUT! In the not too distant future, I believe his art will be valuable in the same vein as Vincent Van Goth and Mozart...Just incredibly unique!!
@StBowieno ... Sad Beuty, that describes this song perfectly as does Execssion33's description of inspiring deep nostalgic melancholy for the people lost.
Yesterday I saw my ex of 12 years (who I hadn't seen in five) - this was the song that was playing through my head during our encounter. As always, DB provides a soundtrack to my life
I never really appreciated this song until now. It's quite beautiful (along with the video) and very underrated compared to the rest of Bowie's repertoire.
@Surirygirl This version is off the album Outside. But he originally had it on an album called Buddha Of Suburbia. I personally like the Buddha version better.
This is my favorite song..period, by any artist. I only wish it were longer. It utterly reduces me to something purer.....a perfect ending to 1. OUTSIDE
@moviemaniac96 I "missed" this entire Bowie (mid-)period as only followed hardcore bands ... lost children of Lady Stardust and Aladdin Sane ... during the 80s/90s. Enjoying catching up now. He's beauteous here ...
The visuals from the movie from which he lifted the title (and the doings of the lyrics actually) are better than this embarrassing artsy meaningless carny/mime show above. Rare lapse of taste. Should have stuck with the real film.
sam bayer is a big fan of making the camera close up to a little hole and open to something different...hearts filthy lesson, this song, the my chemical romance thing,
Yeah there's a clip on Youtube with the very interview where Morrissey says the foolish remark. It's a war between Morrissey and Bowie fans on the clip...funny stuff to read.
@VanityKillsABC I only wish I could have some too...db is unbelievable. Almost spooky the talent, style and gifts from above, what a beautiful musican, artist,actor composer,writer and the list goes on and on. One would think the deal was signed in blood with the devil. What a brilliant version of Motzart,Beethoven etc...He will be one man that will go down in everlasting history.
Brilliant beond words. Oh yeah, he is beautiful and the slim white Duke!
I love how all of Bowie's albums sound completely different from each other but this song in particular sounds as though it could easily fit in on ANY of his albums.
I remember reading an interpretation of this song in which Bowie is singing about someone with a terminal illness, such as alzheimers or aids. He's angry at first, then scared of being with her, and finally is glad he can still be with her, while shes still alive.
There goes death out the window and the baby following the bath water. Here were slough off our porcelain veneers that have served us in the decreasing day's span that ninnies call Tuesday.
Bowie is very lucky in that his talent and creativity haven't let him down. I find Heathen and Reality both extremely interesting and entertaining. That combination is completely missing in popular music nowadays (IMO)
@ThePrismer So true.Point well taken. It's more than being lucky isn't it? As you said, he obviously cares. And cares enough to work very hard at it, as you point out. He seems to have a very big heart also. I find so much sympathy with the human condition in his songs.
hilarious. the lps you mention are good, but by bowie standards they are weaker than a friggin' new order re-release. this song is fantastic, but not representative of bowie's efforts during this time. heathen is essentially the poor man's answer to the berlin trilogy. the sad part is that the berlin trilogy wasn't that great. anything coincidentally pre-emptive is sorta 'creative' by artistic standards. heathen is a solid lp, but don't pretend bowie didn't die earlier.
Altought in every moment Bowie has preserved the peculiarities of his songwriting the "let's dance/never let me down" is the lowest point of bowie's career even if there are songs like "Loving the alien" or "Modern love" that kicks hard, though that the Berlin period has been the most interesting, but this changes from fan to fan
Ive been a fan since I was little listening in the back seat of the car. My parents like him and now so do I. He has such a great voice and his lyrics are some of the best. I for one like more of his earlier work but some of the new stuff is hit and miss. This is one of the hits for me. I really liked it and the hearts filthy lesson but not much else off the album.
I'm a fan since Pinups (1974), and reading comments from people who started loving Bowie's works since Outside is the most gratifying thing I could hope as an old Bowie fan, it proves that the man has overcome every change of times in 40 years of career, I guess there's not much of other artists that comes out now that could hope the same.
I been a fan since as the world falls down since the movie was maybe before that but was a young fan but ilove all of his work hes one of my Musical heros hes Amazing
I can't imagine being a fan for so long! what I often wonder when I stumble across older fans: was it difficult for you keeping up, where these moments hard to follow?:
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Bowie's later work lacks the originality and sophistication of his earlier work. He still comes up with a brilliant song every here and there, but this is not one of them.
great track off my favourite bowie album, the fantastic Outside! Well overlooked piece of work, but a masterpiece to rank up there with the likes of Low, Lodger, Ziggy etc....
Very good song after a bad breakup from 10yrs past and the person whom you broke up with comes back looking for you as mentioned at the opening scene from the movie Swingers
There is about two minutes cut from it. It's really weird to listen to the album version and then watch the music video. There are several extended verses in the album version.
Oh yeah it's possible you also heard the 1993 recording of the song for his Buddha of Suburbia album which is very different and inferior in my opinion although I suppose when you're used to a song any difference sounds wrong.
Like when I heard the Under Pressure remix on Queens Greatest Hits 3 for the first time. Ay.
Outside is my favorite Bowie album, and the videos from it are all perfect. Throughout Outside, the kinship between Bowie and Reznor is made very clear, and the videos have the feel of Closer. This one I especially I love, because of the tenderness amidst the absurdism.
Literally I can translate perfectly the phrase "strangers when we meet" but I think I am missing something in the translation. what exactly means? means that next time we see each other we wil ignore each other?
it means "after a bad break-up with a woman and then 10 or more yrs go by she returns to look you up to see if the love is still there" BIATCH!!!!!just like the other song "Someday ,we'll be together" LOL
Outside is my favorite Bowie album. So solid. A great concept work. This song and Thru' these architects eyes are 2 of my favorites off it. Wonder why the line: My poor soul all bruised passivity...got cut out?
More a fan of Bowie's '70s material, but I really enjoyed Outside and this song in particular.

Bowie's later work lacks the originality and sophistication of his earlier work. He still comes up with a brilliant song every here and there, but this is not one of them.

The song itself is good but the production ruins everything. Safe, mature and boring.

great track off my favourite bowie album, the fantastic Outside! Well overlooked piece of work, but a masterpiece to rank up there with the likes of Low, Lodger, Ziggy etc....

He is Bowie. He could probably book Obama for a music video.

Very good song after a bad breakup from 10yrs past and the person whom you broke up with comes back looking for you as mentioned at the opening scene from the movie Swingers

One of Bowie's best lesser known songs, great video too.
Bowie returned right bang on form during the mid 90's, some great stuff.

Is it just me, or is this version totally different from the album?
StauffDante 2 years ago
There is about two minutes cut from it. It's really weird to listen to the album version and then watch the music video. There are several extended verses in the album version.
It's the same with quite a few Bowie songs.

Oh yeah it's possible you also heard the 1993 recording of the song for his Buddha of Suburbia album which is very different and inferior in my opinion although I suppose when you're used to a song any difference sounds wrong.
Like when I heard the Under Pressure remix on Queens Greatest Hits 3 for the first time. Ay.

Outside is my favorite Bowie album, and the videos from it are all perfect. Throughout Outside, the kinship between Bowie and Reznor is made very clear, and the videos have the feel of Closer. This one I especially I love, because of the tenderness amidst the absurdism.

Literally I can translate perfectly the phrase "strangers when we meet" but I think I am missing something in the translation. what exactly means? means that next time we see each other we wil ignore each other?

it means "after a bad break-up with a woman and then 10 or more yrs go by she returns to look you up to see if the love is still there" BIATCH!!!!!just like the other song "Someday ,we'll be together" LOL

Outside is my favorite Bowie album. So solid. A great concept work. This song and Thru' these architects eyes are 2 of my favorites off it. Wonder why the line: My poor soul all bruised passivity...got cut out?
