1000 years ahead of his time-up there with The Beatles.

David Bowie is amazing.

We should over analyze this song until we hate it. Pretend we know what we're talking about, tell the world what we think to make us feel connected to it, spit it out, and get to the next song. People are fucked for leaving comments on youtube. I'm fucked now too for doing so. Damnit!

Well to Jkiistala, Bowie was not trying to sell you his philosphy, on the contrary his is resigned to know what he'll know when he knows it. This song seems to be a snapshot of thought inside a man, who at the moment of composition, might have had a moment where, at the height of his artistic powers, discovers his own insignificance despite his herculean efforts to be imortal. It just comes across as the point of view of a man who is old enough to know that he knows nothing.

beautiful sonng, nice melody. nice violins and such and innocent and sincere and honest. but the only thing in lyrics that I don't like is the verse: "knowledge comes with deaths release" no,no,no....no!!! You gotta find during your life here, what there is waiting after you die, because it's too late then.

And like bob dylan sang in his gospel records (Saving Grace) :"untill this time, I thought that I would be sleeping in a pine-box through all eternity.

Like we say here: J'aime pas, j'adore !
