David was so way before his time musically. That song is 47 years old, sounds so great.
I think you mean David Bowie was "ahead" of his time, not before his time.
Amazing really. It could be released now and not sound out of place.
Wow… 47 years already… it’s almost 60 years since I first heard the Beatles… 😯 I AM SO OLD 😵💫🫣
He was of his time. Music was 10× better 47 years ago.
@@neillenet291 think the classy thing to do would have not to point that out 🙂..we get it
People who say they don't like David Bowie haven't listened to enough of his work. The guy has something for everyone.
Exactly, if you say you don't like David Bowie, just wait till the next song.
Don’t worry. I don’t think such people exist.
I can't count the number of times I've said exactly that in response to someone saying they don't like David Bowie.
Yeah, I think he had a lot of coke for everybody , allegedly .I mean. , you wonder how you come up with stuff like this without a severe cocaine addiction ..Just saying ..Perhaps I'm wrong but .........
Haha, that may be true, never heard this song before and I can't say I like it but I love Sufragette City.
My two favorite quotes about Bowie:
1. He's highly rated but still underrated
When he died:
2: Losing Bowie is like the music world lost a primary colour.
Kids are finding his music, I noticed Kate Bush is starting to get a resurgence right now and I think Bowie will rise like a phoenix to entertain and make kids think.
You can't define David Bowie because he has done every type of music imaginable.
And a few unimaginable until he did it.
he never did grindcore, but yeah, almost every type :)
Not every type at all but yes he was diverse, he didn’t do hardcore, didn’t do classical, didn’t do death metal, didn’t do everything, he is a legendary musician though
@@jacksonmcdickinson oh ABSOLUTELY!
@@jacksonmcdickinson obviously he can't do everything, but the guy was doing an experimental death grips style rap song in 1979 (African Night Flight) in general bowie is the most versatile artist of all time and always will be, because apart from being versatile He was effective, in everything he did well
David Bowie was his own genre. Almost impossible to nail him down. He was constantly exploring and changing.
Absofukinlutely pardon my French
Each album was so different.
And all his music was fantastic becuz of it
Bowie is one of the few artists who can sing back-up for himself ...yep that is him singing in 6 different tones!!! The Golden Years harmony is ALL BOWIE!!!! 🔥
"Painter of Music" is a perfect Bowie description.
The use of this song in the movie "The Knight's Tale" was nothing short of brilliant.
That movie put me on to David Bowie. Every time I watch that scene I get up and dance
Such a fabulous movie! Also love Labyrinth, two of my favourites!
Great movie! Immediately think of it whenever I hear this!!❤️❤️❤️
I watch the movie about once a month and just that scene about once a week
My fav part of the movie. Rip David bowie and heath ledger
You know, there was the "Motown" and "Philly" sound for soul music. Bowie recorded this in Philadelphia for that deep full "Philly Sound" that some disco performers had at the time.
He spent significant time in the states developing relationships with Motown artists.
He was one of the first artists to legitimately cross over to soul without changing his own style.
No disrespect intended. This women has the "IT " factor. Such positive energy oozing out of her. Just Wow! If everyone was like her we'd all be in heaven.
Yup your right
Knights Tale used this song really well. Always see that dance scene when I hear this song now. Bowie was amazing. Reinvented his style and sound 30 times in 5 years.
Love knights Tale and like you think of the dance scene.
Yeah, the movie was considered a flop by critics, but the soundtrack is awesome. I have looked up the dance scene on several occasions.
Lex has done it again, Brad - “a painter of music”. You bop and whoop, Lex, as Brad sits still and brooding, and then you distill into a few well-chosen words what underlies the notes and words of a song. As one, we silently agree, as if the light bulb had shone in our minds too. Be well and happy, both, and keep sharing the joy of good music. ❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸
Agreed, Lex nailed another abstract observation with "painter of music", no pun intended but she did use that genre word as well. I can see that Brad gets it but is lost to offer terms that he may feel don't adequately describe what he is hearing. Great reaction all told!
Right?
It's like....WHICH Bowie don't you like? Folk Bowie? Industrial House Bowie? Funk Bowie? Dying Bowie? Experimental Bowie? Children's movie soundtrack Bowie? What's left after you take the Bowie out of everything?
I don't think Brad is brooding. I think he's trying to figure out the meaning of the song. That's his thing.
@@sandragray4598 When I say “brooding”, Sandra, I mean deep in thought, as you say, seeking the meaning of the song. But while Brad has the air of Rodin’s Thinker, Lex is turbocharged and spills out her thoughts with unrestrained enthusiasm. The two are a match made in heaven, and their chemistry radiates joy.
@@eternallearner4753 You're being too dramatic; he doesn't have the air of the Thinker. He's just trying to hear and understand the lyrics as he himself has said before. It's great because the way he and Lex listen covers the ways most of us do. I see myself in both of them.
I’ve heard Bowie wrote this for Elvis, but he passed before he could record it. It has the sound of something Elvis would release late in his career.
He did. There were 4 or 5 songs on that demo, and I've always wondered what the other songs were. Stories differ on whether or not Col. Parker ever played it for Elvis, but yeah, Elvis would've rocked this.
“Golden Years” was released in 1975 and Elvis passed away in 1977. Elvis was presented a demo of the song, but turned it down.
I could never conceive of Elvis singing this at all. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@littleogeechee223 u r so right..this is a bowie song..and it is distinctively his
@@littleogeechee223 Nowadays, we probably have the technology to simulate it.
Brad & Lex,you'll love Bowie's "Changes", "Young Americans" and Suffragette City" !!
They already did SC.
also Sound and Vision ....from this era
@@byerenny please post link. don't see it.
Ch-ch-ch-changes! Definitely recommend that one
Yes...Young Americans! Bowie had great vocals.
I've told you loads of times I'm a metal head, but I went to watch Bowie in 91 and was blown away, a total professional. "you can't define what David Bowie is" well said. check out, Hunky Dory.
I saw him in ... 89 or 90. One of the best concerts.
The Man Who Sold The World album has a few hard rock bits. Ozzy loved it!
Def Leppard and Motley Crue site Bowie as an influence
WILD IS THE WIND. Early black and white video. David said in interview that this was one of his best songs that fits his voice. Great lyric "Like the leaf clings to the tree, oh my darling cling to me". My favorite Bowie song.
I love the video from the 2000 Yahoo Awards. It was just Bowie and the piano. His voice and phrasing was incredible.
It was a cover of a classic. George Michael also recorded wild is the wind.
I never heard a song described as "oozing" before today.
Now that I think about it...this song IS oozing.
Good call, Lex.
"Stay" from the same album fuses disco and straight-ahead guitar-based rock as well as anything could
"Stay" is nothing but a masterpiece ! The whole "Station to station" album is something you can build a whole career upon. And there's only 6 songs in it!
All correct of course ---and completely nuts just the same...it somehow rose to #3 on the Billboard album chart, his best showing to that point, with just the six tracks and no true smash hit single
I never even got around to listening to it until I was past 40 (although I dwelt close enough to the studio where he recorded most of it that I could have walked there without having to cross any street at a light), and it's just monumental
I never hear it from fans but "Stay" from the Station to Station album was killer. Carlos Alomar and Earl Slick on guitar. Genius.
Station to Station too, Maybe m favorite Bowie album
You've done reactions to "Let's Dance" and "Fame" ... and you're still wondering if Bowie can be funky? lol
This is one of those songs that makes me wonder how it was ever composed. Beyond creative.
In my opinion, this is his best song. Sincere and it shows the range of his voice.
Station to Station is a brilliant album
Definitely. Despite loving various eras of Bowie for donkeys years I hadn't paid Station To Station much attention until a mate bought me the reissued vinyl as a birthday present a few years back. It really is an excellent album (most of them are)
@@stevewilldo3056 And Bowie stated that he was so drug addled from cocaine at the time that he had no memory of making the album. Remarkable.
I was so Lucky to have been around when Bowie released his Music to the World. Now Generations later New Fans can appreciate what We were treated to back in the day. Dude is Definitely an Artist of Musical Painting.
Bowie "sound and vision" :)
Lex is correct with the painting analogy. Bowie was also an artist, as well as a gifted songwriter and performer.
There is a David Bowie song that is a hidden gem that never gets any playtime. "The Secret Life Of Arabia". Deserves more playtime.
One of my favourite Bowie songs.
I just watching Lexi grooving to this song! I watched soul train back in the 70s and learned how to dance watching a TV show and all of a sudden one day David Bowie came on. Unbelievable.!
David Bowie spent his entire career as the ultimate rock music chameleon. Very high regards for that! He had an ability to switch genres and cover a wide spectrum of music, all while doing it in his own way. ROCK N ROLL GENIUS!
Yes, it does "ooze" ... it's sinuous as well.
I wouldn’t say David Bowie was before his time. I’d say David Bowie was timeless.
Bowie loved to take on different identities during his career. He was Ziggy Stardust, and Aladdin Sane, and Halloween Jack, and he ended up as the Blind Prophet. "Golden Years" and "Fame" are from when he was the Thin White Duke, almost like a stylish, dilettante, lounge singer, who flirted with soul and funk but had a darker edge. "Golden Years" is from the album "Station to Station", where the opening lyrics from the first and title track are, "The return of the Thin White Duke, throwing darts in lovers' eyes."
I love the "painter of music" description.
He is considered the Picasso of Rock and Roll history
This was towards the end of his Plastic Soul stage of his career, it’s on the Station to Station album where the rumours are Bowie couldn’t remember writing it due to his cocaine use , brilliant album and a musical genius , even better live , with Bowie we never knew what to expect, from his albums to his live performances which made it very exciting as fans
Not only a 'painter of music', Bowie was also a painter with paints. You should check out his artwork too....
This is the song that put Bowie on my radar. Amazing song structure, great lyrics and fantastic sound. Bowie was the man!
Apparently written for Elvis Presley
David Bowie was cool! Even Ice Cube used his song "Fame" in the movie "Next Friday"! 🎼💕✌️
The way Lex describes songs is spot on. As a writer, I can just imagine exactly what she is talking about even if it doesn’t make literal sense. When she said the song is oozing, that’s exactly the feeling of it. The song is so smooth but alive at the same time. It’s definitely a song that just oozes feelings.
One of best of Bowie….and Wild Is The Wind
I agree. It is by far my favorite.
Bowie is so creative and they "get" it. Stay on the Bowie train, please! A song called "Right" would be perfect after this one. So much soul!
I knew this would get Lex groovin for sure.
Brad, you got it buddy!!
He has always created that magical "flow" for each song and album, year after year.
This song makes me wanna dance. It just always made me so happy. Ty for this reaction. ❤️❤️
A great reaction and insight into the art of David Bowie and yes definitely abstract and always ahead of time. Thank you for your reaction excellent.
This song always reminds me of Heath Ledger from that Knights tale film! Love it!
Freakin LOVE this song...I thought you might have liked it more. Still amazing after all this time. Thanks for reacting!
That ooze? That's called STYLE, baby! Bowie did it effortlessly and always.
I'll never forget picking up a greatest hits CD on a black Friday. It was $1. At the time I liked a couple of songs. I didn't know that much about him or his music. I'm more of a hard rock guy but damn If I didn't like every song on it. I wore that CD out, I played it that much. It was setup with his hits chronologically. It shocked me how much I liked his music.
An unknown backing singer called luther vandross helped with the arrangement on this track along with carlos alomar on guitar funky 🙂
One of his best, flew under the Radar for year's.
I’ll always think of the dance scene of Heath Ledger in A Knights Tale to this song! It was so fun!
Best thing about growing up in the 70s was hanging around in the YMCA game room not allowed to play pool until the teenagers left but getting to hear this song, followed by some BTO, and then Peter Frampton on the Jukebox. Still loving it all today.
I lived a few streets away from David Bowies childhood home in Brixton when this came out. What a time, watched him on Top Of The Pops from Life on Mars onwards.
Truly Golden Years.
He also sang this on Soul Train
The lyrics are genius , LAST NIGHT THEY LOVED U , OPENING DOORS AND PULLING SOME STRINGS , IN WALKED LUCK , AND U LOOKED IN TIME , NEVER LOOK BACK , WALK TALL , ACT FINE , genius,
My god those are brilliant lyrics!
David Robert Jones,aka David Bowie's last words...
"It has been my doorway of perception and the house I live in."
R. I. P. sovereign
Deep hole you will never get to the bottom of. There will never be another.
Lets have Rebel Rebel! :)
Check out more Beck. He's my favorite chameleon since Bowie. You guys rule!
Pretty sure they did Loser already
Once somebody said that Bowie was a rock's greatest chameleon and it has become a label.
But Bowie wasn't a chameleon!
Chameleon is a creature who changes his color and pattern to become the same as the surrounding space. He become the same as others.
On the contrary, Bowie always tried to be different (and he said it directly in his Changes). Different from others, different from fashion and different from previous himself. Instead of becoming the same as surrounders he changed them, they started to mimic him. And when Bowie noticed that surrounding space took his shape and pattern - he immediately changed his own shape and pattern to became differnt again.
Bowie was an anti-chameleon actually.
Love Beck, guy is a F'N genius!
its the groove
Man was a chameleon, musically and image. His "glam" era was my favorite, but it's all great.
I think the most accurate description is simply David Bowie style. He was most certainly one of a kind.
IMO one of the most brilliant & influential minds in music history
Definitely funky--great tune. A painter yes you're brilliant. He was an actual painter as well.
Great song by Mr Bowie..I like the bit when he starts whistling in it .you can't beat a bit of whistling😊
David Bowie is very original, just like most of his songs, its very nice to hear a new reaction as most people are aware of his sound,
There is Bowie, then there is everyone else. He was unique and irreplaceable.
They even had Bowie on soul train during his funky period which at the time he was the only white singer to be on the programme
Yes, and I believe he performed Golden Years and one other? Perhaps, Changes or Fame.
@@TrueNorth10 Bowie performed Golden Years and Fame on Soul Train. He was even interviewed by some of the audience/dancers before he sang Golden Years.
I think he was the first white performer on Soul Train
@@Plastermanandy Technically, No. The first white performer on Soul Train, was a jazz drummer named Dennis Coffey. He played his hit, Scorpio. Next, it was Canadian singer Gino Vanelli (he was on there twice), Then Bowie, and later Elton John.
The stank face is in effect so much funk. Parliament Funkadelic shouts out Bowie in a song liking his funk sounds
Saw bowie in Memphis around 1974 wow!!!
Bowie and Slade
I agree with you guys. One cannot define Bowie. His songs are like paintings. And he'll always surprise you. Lyrically, it's all subconscious imagery.
Love the look on your faces! Engaged, confused a bit- that's Bowie for ya!
Each Bowie song is a totally different trip.
You just can't classify Bowie. Every time you think you have it, he changes. Just give up and enjoy the ride.
I can define what David Bowie is..... Great.
Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing is an amazing experience where Bowie shines...it's incredible
a super diverse and prolific artist...there are so many songs by Bowie that you should check out...There'll never be another like him...
"Golden Years" was the lead single from Bowie's 1976 Station to Station album. I remember hearing it on the AM pop radio station my dad listened to when I was a kid. "Run for the shadows, run for the shadows \ Run for the shadows in these golden years -- whop, whop, whop!" Also check out the clips of Bowie performing this on Soul Train when you can. PS. For more Bowie funk, check out "Fame" a.s.a.p.
No bro'......it was the album Young Americans
@@paratenepehi688 Sorry Bro', but it was Station to Station. Look it up. Track 2, Side One.
@@mikecaetano My apologies.....getting dementia.
Brad is SOOO not wrong about the flow in the first 3 verses that he changed up totally immediately afterwards. That’s a hip hop head’s insight. Love it. Also it is a little Stevie Wonder-esque “Superstition” funkish rhythm. Also “ A painter of music” is perfect too.
Different styles, different personas, always evolving......was Bowie.
David Bowie is a legend, that's how you define him 😆
I love David Bowie...saw him live
Lex vibing right out.
Awesome song man Bowie was so unique. What a great groove.
David Bowie was one heck of an artist. I grooved to this song when I was in the 6th grade. Still love it.
Definitely a playlist tune lol ... He had fun with his music.
This song was used so effectively in a TV series back in 1991 called, funnily enough, "Golden Years" written by Stephen King...
This is so funky. Terrific sound by Bowie. Give 'Fashion' a listen guys...
You should check out the title track of the album: "Station to Station".
Would be awesome but I doubt a lot of the audience want to sit through the +3min intro
The Thin White Duke in one of his finest forms! David Bowie went to school for Art, Music and Design, and was always changing his musical style. He never stood still, musically.
“” I Know You Got SOUL
If You Didn’t….You Wouldn’t Be All Up
In Here””
Excellent, as always. Thanks for the hard work. Y'all's observations about music are definitely original, insightful, and quite often brilliant. Hope all is well.
RIP DB, so much talent
My cousin introduced me to his music way back in the early 70’s I’ve been hooked since. Love him! This song by was featured in the movie A Knights Tale. ❤️
David Bowie is singing Golden years as if he is singing Ghoul-den years like a Halloween Ghoul, a spooky ghoul
THIS guy...from this to Station to Station to Memory of a Free Festival to Life on Mars to Let's Dance to I'm Afraid of Americans. I think Bowie is one of the singular artists who have so deftly adapted themselves, their music and their presence or persona to match the changing times and styles. Really impressive.
You probably never heard of soul train. It was a show in the 80s I think just for soul Music. David Bowie was the first white performer on soul train with this very song. I’m sure you can see the video somewhere on RUclips it’s awesome
Bowie has such an eclectic style. Each song feels like a new unexpected journey.
So awesome the see Brad really go bonkers in love with a song. Nice one!
Y'all have done a lot of Bowie across many eras.
Ashes to Ashes and Jump should fill in some blanks.
Bowie is everything and anything. A musical genius.
Station to Station ... my all time favourite Bowie album. It's IMPECCABLE.
Omg I love this song. I still listen to it all the time. Play list :)
