So sad was it that a genius like David Bowie was always being critiqued within the perimeters of his early career when, in fact, he was writing beautiful compositions all through the 90's & 2000's plus. This one off of Reality comes out of left field; classic Bowie gem, written & sung so masterfully. It was hardly over after Let's Dance!?! Stop & listen.
I got the feeling that he couldn't win. In the eyes of the critics, he was either "desperately trying to be new and cutting-edge and left field" or "trying to repeat past glories". As fanboyish as it sounds, it is the real fans who can appreciate the full arc of his work.
There was so much good music in the 1990s that it was inevitable that an artist who started out in the 1960s wouldn't receive the same attention. The Verve had released Urban Hymns, Radiohead OK Computer. It was fair to give these new beautiful minds a lot of the spotlight.
@@speedscampi5217 aww, Real sorry to hear that. I recommend adding "there's plenty of girls in the sea" by MGMT, to your playlist. Just to see another kinda of perspective 👍
Great comment. Stupidly I thought I was the only person to notice that. Paul Simon and Brian Wilson are still the kings of 'bridges' though, if you know what I mean.
This is the song that got me in to him. Played it to my so called Bowie fan and he didn’t have a clue who it was. He had a lot of hit only fans. Shame. Great song
Rei _42 He actually says "for ME" He's expressing regret that he's been selfish his whole life and now he's running out of time to make up for it, hence "all the days I owe you. "
Hold me tight Keep me cool Going mad Don't know what to do Do I need a friend ? Well I need one now All the days of my life All the days of my life All the days I owe you All I've done I've done for me All you gave You gave for free I gave nothing in return And there's little left of me All the days of my life All the days of my life All the days I owe you In red-eyed pain I'm knocking on your door again My crazy brain in tangles Pleading for your gentle voice Those storms keep pounding through my head and heart I pray you'll soothe my sorry soul All the days of my life All the days of my life All the days I owe you
the cover art of the album was particularly telling in a way - the Pikachu-cute manga cover figure, and the inside image of haggard David alone in a sound booth rocking out defiantly with his guitar -

this has been one of my favorites since the very first moment i heard it 15? years ago. It's personal significance has grown immensely.

I couldn't agree more Rise
Well said man. I love this, looking for water, bring me the disco king. Fine album.
absolutely beautiful song. highly underrated.
"red eyes pain when I plan on knocking on your door again my crazy brain entangles pleaing for your Gentle voice"
Hits deep
"Pleading for"
But yes, it does.
@@redjakOfficial still obsessed with this song lol
@@speedscampi5217 Me too :)
it's one of the rare songs that I can sing and play the guitar at the same time.
@@redjakOfficial went through my first break up and I'm back to this song.....it never leaves
@@speedscampi5217 aww, Real sorry to hear that. I recommend adding "there's plenty of girls in the sea" by MGMT, to your playlist. Just to see another kinda of perspective 👍
With songs like Word on a wing, Bewlay brothers, A better future, Because you're young this is one of Bowie's best underrated songs
It could well be.
Word on a wing is the best
@@carloscerdan2782 Absolutely! Word on a wing is generally my favourite Bowie's song
Word on a Wing cannot be bettered, a masterpiece
Awesome album, with some great songs. (This one, of course, being one of the greatest.)
You are completely right, one of the most under rated and unappreciated songs you'll ever hear. This song is in my top five since a long time.
Days. I'll remember all my life.
such a beautiful song
Probably one the most under rated and unappreciated songs you'll ever hear. Lyrics are fantastic.
Mike Yuill .yes and cant find karaoke for it too
Yeah it's awesome and definitely one of his better later ones
try fall dogs bomb the moon
Lyrics are fantastic and is there also a soprano saxophone somewhere adding enchantment to the poetry
I hurt my best friend so hard...this one says all that I can’t put in words...Love this one...
Super bridge .....just like the young Bowie
Great comment. Stupidly I thought I was the only person to notice that. Paul Simon and Brian Wilson are still the kings of 'bridges' though, if you know what I mean.
This whole album was excellent. it is an under-rated gem!
Thank you David.
This is the song that got me in to him. Played it to my so called Bowie fan and he didn’t have a clue who it was. He had a lot of hit only fans. Shame. Great song
RIP David Bowie.....
J'adore ce titre depuis sa sortie. J'en pleure chaque fois que je l'écoute.
Me too.
Bowie é único... sensacional essa balada!!!
Por supuesto.
THIS SONG MAKES ME CRY.
We have this Song!
I'm convinced that he wrote this song to his mother who passed away two years earlier.
I'm convinced it's for co co xx
It’s to God, as are I would be your slave, Word on a wing and A better future to name a few
Brilliant
No po prostu fantastic.
Those are some lost years in my life see myself in hell. ❤
💙
Quite 'Lodger' in style?
😊😅
Lol is right!

no shin

Love this song but not the synthetic strings.
"All I've done I've done for you" ...
He was referencing Labyrinth maybe?
Rei _42 He actually says "for ME" He's expressing regret that he's been selfish his whole life and now he's running out of time to make up for it, hence "all the days I owe you. "
I like to think co co xx
Hold me tight
Keep me cool
Going mad
Don't know what to do
Do I need a friend ?
Well I need one now
All the days of my life
All the days of my life
All the days I owe you
All I've done
I've done for me
All you gave
You gave for free
I gave nothing in return
And there's little left of me
All the days of my life
All the days of my life
All the days I owe you
In red-eyed pain I'm knocking on your door again
My crazy brain in tangles
Pleading for your gentle voice
Those storms keep pounding through my head and heart
I pray you'll soothe my sorry soul
All the days of my life
All the days of my life
All the days I owe you
Thank you very much!! Greatings from Germany...
*Those storms keep ponding trough My head and heart
@@zimbraundertone4075 thanks ;)
Just love this song. Never gets mentioned in any fan list but is just brilliant. So simple but catchy
It's a truly wonderful song.
Long live the king of the stars!!
im crying
Javier Kaleb López Ocampo sorry 😥 but it does evoke emotion
The most underrated track from "Reality", and yet, probably the BEST one.
Do I need a friend? Well, I need one now.
the cover art of the album was particularly telling in a way - the Pikachu-cute manga cover figure, and the inside image of haggard David alone in a sound booth rocking out defiantly with his guitar -
I want to cry
🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Argentina con Bowie!!
@@hectorjuandisanto4298 siempre
a vein of melancholy flows through this son """'':::"""''',,,
The U.K your in deep trouble
*you're
I love this song but it felt like a Disney movie wish they would have composed it differently.
Sorry. Don't get that?
This some sort of recap bout all u did wrong, u try to do your best now but it ain’t enough that’s why he says “and there’s little left of me”
Underrated!
Yes sir...
