  • Bowie is one of my all time favourites so i feel a bit bad at covering his songs as they are just so good, however i was asked for this and i try to please , needed a bit of help from my friend Buzz Lightyear though.
    PS, she's back at work !

    Thank you, Frank!---This is done so well, and so well delivered.., conveying both the stark, fragile loneliness of inhospitable outer space and the far away longing for even more fragile Mother Earth. Just Awesome!

    this song has a very big emotional impact on me, and your voice when you sing always makes me feel every word in my heart. the combination is just heavenly. this is incredibly comforting to me, your covers are always adequate and enough. thank you

    Hi Mr. Watkinson! I found your videos tonight while I was scrolling through RUclips, just wasting time before I go to bed and work the next morning. I’m 21, and I started learning how to play guitar last November. I go to a lesson every week, and I practice for about 20 or 30 minutes on my lunch breaks, as well as my two 15 minute breaks; about an hour spent total in the day. Watching you play inspires me to keep practicing so that one day I could play as greatly and as passionately as you do. I hope you enjoy your day, and I wish you all the best!

    Really, how do you do that? Of course, it's a fantastic song, but listening to you, it's just new, written and come to this world in that very moment. And it helps so much in moments of heaviness, sadness and supposed darkness: Thank you so much for all that, what you make: it's art, it's helpful, it's important, it's love. Thank you 🙏⭐️💛
