    David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, "Heroes,” Let's Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

    David Bowie (this song in particular) saved my life. As a survivor of sexual abuse, I had crippling anxiety that would basically make me a vegetable (constant fatigue, vomiting, panic attacks that would last for hours, and feeling miserable). At some point in 2016, I thought of ending it all because the symptoms were just becoming unmanageable and I felt hopeless about ever being able to life normally. However...this song would always pull me out of my suicidal episodes and gave me the strength to wipe my tears and muster on. Had it not been for David Bowie, I would have ended my life before being fortunate to receive free mental health counseling from a local community college.
    That's my David Bowie story ^.^

    Although he has already dead, he knows my loneliness,and give the most kind words “Oh no,love,you’re not alone” over 50 years.
    I cry bitterly through this video. Thank you Bowie,I’m not alone now, because I can live with your music. You’re alive in my heart.

But it's still Bowie's interpretation, (and I'm sure he had a lot of input with the arrangements) and he was fantastic. I think because he was a naturally gifted actor, and they always say the best singers are also actors, or actors make the best singers, (or whatever they say!) So talented (both of them!)

    When I was younger I stayed home from school one day. I wasn't sick but I felt like I was. I had stopped taking my anti depressant a month before and hadn't slept in a week. I was curled up on the bathroom floor and was contemplating suicide like I often did back then. I had my music on shuffle and just when I had gotten up to get the pills out of the cabinet this song came on. I stopped to listen because I wasn't going to interrupt a David Bowie song with my death. This man was sent to us by a force that could crush god.

      I'm 25, started listening to Bowie over a year ago, I wish sooner but at least it was before he died. Bowie is without a doubt the most underrated all time. People don't understand how great he was. In the end most music artist stop making stuff on par with music from their prime. Bowie was doing that, Blackstar and the Next Day. And a lot of 90s and 2000s stuff is pretty good. The body of work he left behind is better than anyone's. A top 10 David Bowie list is so hard to do, I did and ended up with a top 20 basically. Bowie more so should have a top 50. I would close to 30 Bowie songs are top 10 quality. A dying Bowie was still the most innovative artist, smart artists would take note from Blackstar.

      I'm only 3 and a bit but can already read and write and most of all appreciate the music of David Bowie! About 50 years ago I met him in my previous life - i was quite old then and he was about 20 - he wrote a song about me called the laughing gnome!

    Boy, this crowd was really into their role as rock-n-roll maenads or something. Looks like three different times that fans almost knocked him down by grabbing onto him. Big props to Bowie for A) being cool enough to keep taking hands anyway, and B) keeping his footing, because though you can't really tell from this video, I'm pretty sure he had those high platform boots on during this show...

    Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
    You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
    The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
    Ohhh, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide
    You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it
    And the clocks waits so patiently on your song
    You walk past a cafe but you don't eat when you've lived too long
    Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide
    Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
    But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
    Don't let the sun blast your shadow
    Don't let the milk float ride your mind
    They're so natural - religiously unkind
    Oh no love! you're not alone
    You're watching yourself but you're too unfair
    You got your head all tangled up but if I could only make you care
    Oh no love! you're not alone
    No matter what or who you've been
    No matter when or where you've seen
    All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
    I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain
    You're not alone
    Just turn on with me and you're not alone
    Let's turn on with me and you're not alone
    Let's turn on and be not alone
    Gimme your hands cause you're wonderful
    Gimme your hands cause you're wonderful
    Oh gimme your hands.

    I'm 56. I've been divorced twice. Because of my "head being tangled up" I have been fighting through depression for a long while. This song is so very uplifting! There are many religious but unkind people. They say hurtful words or they judge piously or...they leave you alone. Too blessed to be stressed by those not acting like "shiny, happy, people". Thank God I know many kind and compassionate people who are NOT like that at all. Just sometimes, there are things I cannot begin to share. Depths of hell type memories or emotions and failures.
    I love this song! "You are not alone, you're wonderful!" "Take my hand.". I really appreciate his smile at the end when he says thank you very much we love you... that is all any of us can hope for in life.

    when I feel down, I come back and watch this. In this performance Bowie has put his own personal suffering into the second person. After the first part of the song we are weak. Then he says "give me your hands" for the first time. Suddenly we are strong again. It's a "hero's journey" of a song.

    No too long ago that i got interested in Bowie's music. I think i know him since i was in my 20's, but i was SO distracted by the mainstream music of that moment, that i totally ignored him. I started with his greatest hits: space oddity, starman, heroes, ashes to ashes, golden years, and a large etcetera. Last night i heard his 'The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from mars', and finally understood why he's huge. I can't describe the emotions i felt in every song. I can't wait to discover his whole discography.

    This was the first Bowie song I ever heard, the first track of The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. I bought that album as a 16 year old in 72 or 73, because its cover fascinated me. It began a love affair with his music that hasn’t ended. At first I had to keep it hidden, as a working- class lad whose mates were all into Deep Purple, Black Sabbath etc. When I told a girl I liked that I was into Bowie, she cut me dead. Changes….

    I remember the first time I was listening to this song, it was passively playing while I was going through some really tough times. A lot was going on in my life and I felt extremely overwhelmed and depressed. Then out of nowhere I hear " Oh no love you're not alone". That was exactly what I needed at that point in my life and to think it came from a man I never met. David Bowie was more than a man he was an inspiration to all of the outcasts of the world. The man who sold the world is the man who saved a lot of people's souls. Thank you starman, you may be gone, but your legacy will never be forgotten

      My favourite too! Have you seen the video of him doing a sound check for an appearance on one of those morning shows - you know, their summer concert series or whatever...the fans who were there yell out to do this song for his sound check and he does! He probably hadn't sung it in person in years and I bet it was the last time. I wish I had been there! I think it was so sweet of him to do it for them. He couldn't remember all the words and he stopped early (probably because it got much higher at that point) but it was so amazing. Check it out: ruclips.net/video/LkxXFhWNDTw/видео.html
