    "As musical legend David Bowie once said, “Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes! Turn and face the strange.” The song's underlying meaning hints that the only path to self-discovery is through embracing the transformative power of the strange changes life throws at us."

    Life on Mars is another banger from this album, especially the verse "It's on Amerika's tortured brow/ Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow..."

    According to Bowie, this started out as a parody of a nightclub song - "kind of throwaway" - but people kept chanting for it at concerts and thus it became one of his most popular and enduring songs. Bowie had no idea it was going to become so successful, but the song connected with his young audience who could relate to lyrics like "These children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds, are immune to your consultations, they're quite aware of what they're going through."

    Bowie had a thing where every album was a NEW REINCARNATION of David Bowie. The 70s were the decade of the ALBUM. Singles were just popular songs from the album, unlike the 60s where singles were separate from the big records. Every 3-5 years the world got a totally new David Bowie.

    I hear you about how things are now. At THIS point, there's nothing you can do in Rock that hasn't been done before. It's a limited form, anyway and it was just all done in the 50's, 60's and 70's. It must have been thrilling to live in the 50's to see the BIRTH of Rock, the 60's to see how Rock was developing, the 70's to see how Rock was expanding, etc. Those three decades, I've exhaustively listened to my entire life, but to have LIVED through it and have lived through those changes must have been exhilarating.

    Still don't know what I was waitin' for
    And my time was runnin' wild
    A million dead end streets and
    Every time I thought I'd got it made
    It seemed the taste was not so sweet
    So I turned myself to face me
    But I've never caught a glimpse
    How the others must see the faker
    I'm much too fast to take that test
    Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
    Turn and face the strange

    I watch the ripples change their size
    But never leave the stream
    Of warm impermanence
    And so the days float through my eyes
    But still the days seem the same
    And these children that you spit on
    As they try to change their worlds
    Are immune to your consultations
    They're quite aware of what they're goin' through
    Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
    Turn and face the strange
    Ch-ch-changes
    Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
    Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
    Turn and face the strange
    Ch-ch-changes
    Where's your shame?
    You've left us up to our necks in it
    Time may change me
    But you can't trace time
    Strange fascinations fascinate me
    Ah, changes are taking
    The pace I'm goin' through

    Turn and face the strange
    Ch-ch-changes
    Ooh, look out, you rock 'n' rollers

    Through all the horrible manufactured age wars when I see the young I hear the word “And these children that you spit on as they try and change their worlds are immune to your consultation they are quite aware of what they’re going through. Anyone my age or even older bitching about the young trying to change the world, it just baffles me. “ WTF don’t they remember anything. It’s their future not elders , be helpful or get the hell out of the way ☮️ We were raised in revolution and it’s not over yet , we are in the ugliest bit so far. Wishing the 🌎 the best

    Love your channel man! I’ve been dropping comments on your Who vids but you’re not responding much anymore. Just wanted to make a request for next Drumonday or Who Wednesday. There isn’t really any up close footage of Moon behind the kit. I think you’ll appreciate this drum cover of Amazing Journey/Sparks from Live at Leeds, his channel is called The Murty01. All hardcore Moon fans like me agree it’s unbelievably accurate. Check it out you won’t regret it!

    Play the whole album, it lasts longer. Still not long enough, though.

    Rick Waksman plays piano on this whole album. Bowie invited him to join the band, but he declined. It’s a good album, but I like Ziggy better. Recorded one after another, the Spiders from Mars are all here. Queen Bitch is supposedly about Lou Reed, and it’s a pre-punk piece of rock. Mick Ronson does his thing.

      I really love that Bowie did Queen Bitch about Lou, and Lady Stardust about Marc Bolan.
