  • Our final track from Station to Station... and what a send off it was! This man captures essence and mood so damn easy... so much talent. What an album.

    This whole album is such a gem that I usually play it end to end every time. Ready for Bowie's scheme of things!

    Next: The three part song, SWEET THING, CANDIDATE, SWEET THING (REPRISE) from Diamond Dogs, 1974
    would be exciting for most Bowie nuts.

    Bowie’s album “Young Americans” is his “Philly soul” album. Every song is amazing.

    I knew Bowie’s radio hits from my younger days but that was all. It’s nice to go back and hear the other songs that made him so beloved. Thanks Lee, this was a beautiful track.

    Bowie is an absolute legend - to write so many beautiful songs over such a long period of time and in a variety of genre is amazing. He is as relevant now as he was for me growing up with him in the late 70's.

    I highly recommend that you do a reaction on the song Lazarus, which is from his very last album Black Star. He put together a jazz ensemble to record behind him, and it’s absolutely brilliant.
    He was dying of cancer during the making of this album and it’s a goodbye to his family, friends and fans. 🕊❤️🎼

    • @PaulMDove2
      @PaulMDove2 3 месяца назад +1

      The jazz on Blackstar is provided, mostly, by the Donny McCaslin Quartet. The whole album is so incredible, not just a goodbye but a final outpouring of his amazing talent as he put everything he had left into this final album.
      Many recent Bowie fans try to catch up with a lot of the earlier stuff before getting to Blackstar but I think you're ready Lee for the whole album.
      My other suggestions would be Slip Away and Everyone Says Hi both from the Heathen album.

    Excellent reaction, You said it, Bowie was an artist. He was to the 70s what the Beatles were to the 60s. The guy was always exploring. Try the album Aladdin Sane, it’s glam like Ziggy, but darker. If nothing else, listen to the title track, very avant-garde. My favorite song of all time! Outside is really out there, one of the gems of his later period.

    I'd definitely check out his Young Americans album next, it's during his R&B/Soul period. The title cut, Young Americans is a perfect place to start. Must hear Fame, Fascination, Somebody Up There Likes Me and Right are all can't misses. Love Bowie, RIP big man.

    I agree. His voice just pulls you in and you don't want to let go. Bowie is an artist in so many ways from his music, acting and painting. I like how he created different personalities or different aspects of himself from being Ziggy Stardust to the Thin White Duke.

  • @thecrye6798
    @thecrye6798 3 месяца назад

    While this isn't exactly a concept album like "Ziggy," I've always thought of this song - the last on the album - as the climactic scene in which The Thin White Duke actually feels love again for the first time in ages. Since The Thin White Duke is defined by his cold heart, falling in love changes him. It kills the vampire that he is, and allows Bowie to regenerate (a la Doctor Who) into his next character. (Further head canon: I believe that The Thin White Duke returned once more on the album "Let's Dance.")

    This is a cry for help. Turn to god. Just in case. I think Bowie's mental health had taken a bit of a battering around this time and this song truly captures that desperation.

  • @jonathanmurphy3141
    @jonathanmurphy3141 3 месяца назад

    David Bowie had a fine range of voice (I'm not a singer, not sure of Octave's) and he'd accent his voice for some like his native south London, or our mid-Atlantic. And he could switch, like in this song between. StationToStation is one of my favorites of Bowie.
    Roy Bittan, was the main piano for Bruce Springsteen & E.Street Band. Roy would also work with Dire Straits on their second album.

    Hiya, sorry don't know your name, just seen your reaction to Bowie, word on a wing,,,really love your respect,,don't know if you will see this, but I'm a guy now 63 years old, but yeah, did all the the things that I was always warned not to do. Early 70s, spiked hair, many colours, hair down to my waist, permed,shaved,etc etc etc, boring 😴,,got my first Bowie album, Hunky Dory, for my 10th birthday, and the rest is history,,,,or at least mine, LISTEN TO BOWIE SINGING, All the Madmen, from his, The Man who sold the world album. Bowie wrote it for his brother, Terry, who introduced Bowie to music in the 60s and as Bowie said was the biggest influence in his life. Terry having served in the armed forces, suffered with many mental health issues and sadly committed suicide in the early 80s in a mental institution which Bowie said he found it very hard to come to terms with. I have hundreds of stuff from this truly giant icon of music history.,even many things from Bowie from the 60s before he changed his name from Jones to Bowie with the bands he played with in that time. JUST listen to the Madmen,,,lean back and enjoy ❤, Tony here in the UK

    Sounds like the lead vocal is slightly lower in this mix, with the piano and bass more pronounced. Could just be misremembering of course.
    Other than that, the impression of melancholy may or may not have something to do with this being from a fairly miserable time in his life - just before he moved to Berlin to keep a low profile and kick a serious cocaine habit.
