    Lyrics
    I've never sailed on a sea
    I would not challenge a giant
    I could not take on the church
    Time will crawl
    Until the 21st century lose
    I know a government man
    He was as blind as the moon
    He saw the sun in the night
    He took a top-gun pilot and he
    He made him fly through a hole
    Until he grew real old
    And he never came down
    He just flew till he burst
    Time will crawl
    Until our mouths run dry
    Time will crawl
    Until our feet grow small
    Time will crawl
    Until our tails fall off
    Time will crawl
    Until the 21st century lose
    I saw a black black stream
    Full of white eyed fish
    And a drowning man
    With no eyes at all
    I felt a warm warm breeze
    That melted metal and steel
    I got a bad migraine
    That lasted three long years
    And the pills that I took
    Made my fingers disappear
    You were a talented child
    You came to live in our town
    We never bothered to scream
    When your mask came off
    We only smelt the gas
    As we lay down to sleep
    For the crazy child
    We'll give every life
    For the crackpot notion
    About David Bowie:
    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 at 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.

    According to Wikipedia, Bowie was partially inspired to write this song after hearing of the Chernobyl disaster while in Switzerland shortly after the initial incident. Can't say I hear much of the resemblance outside the 2nd verse, but it's an interesting tidbit nonetheless.
    "I felt a warm warm breeze
    That melted metal and steel
    I got a bad migraine
    That lasted three long years
    And the pills that I took
    Made my fingers disappear"

      @dars5229 2 года назад +3

      I can hear some of it, yeah. The warm "breeze" that melted metal and steel, and being made to take pills. I think it's the third verse that most suits. The "talented child" that came to live in their town is the power of atomic energy. "We never bothered to scream when your mask fell off" = when the core exploded, the shield/mask fell off. Locals didn't scream/panic because they didn't know they were already dead.

    • @ShiroiTengu
      @ShiroiTengu Год назад +3

      Technically not a mullet, his hair is just long layed feathered cut.
      A mullet was when guys had the top to the ears feathered like a short hair cut and the back was long and mostly one length.
      If Bowie's hair was all over a bit longer and fuller it would be a shag, mostly worn by women at the time. Women like Joan Jet wore a short spiky shag usually black was the color of choice.

    I love how the great David Bowie adapted himself very well to the trends of the MTVs 80s music videos, his taste for the visual and the espectacle were a perfect match for the aesthetics of that era.

    Fun fact: Peter Frampton can be seen at 1:04, 2:21, 2:26, 3:08, 3:16, and various other points in the background of this music video. He actually played lead guitar on most of the songs on the album this song is from, Never Let Me Down, and the subsequent Glass Spider tour. Many of the theatrics done in shows on that tour were similar to those done in this video, even including Peter not really being involved and just playing guitar to the side. He _did,_ however, sing lead vocals on the chorus of "Sons of the Silent Age" from Bowie's _Heroes_ album, and he played an absolutely killer solo during "Loving the Alien".

      Baby, baby, I'll never let you down
      I can't stand another sound
      Let's fin another way in (sons of sound and sons of sound)"

      Ann White Yeah. I put it together pretty quickly after the first few listens. :) But I guess I know more about the culture of that era. What surprises me is that a lot of younger gay men don't even know what things like "clone" and "flagging" mean! Going the way of Judy Garland...

    Cool fact: Bowie never liked how the final song came out. He stated that he felt that they rushed it in the studio and that it didn't come out the way he heard it in his head. Also, he always wanted to go back into the studio and redo it but, never did. There's a whole video on RUclips with the actual producers and engineers who explain it.

    I heard this for the first time recently on a radio show called 'Forgotten 80s' and really liked it. I don't know why it's obscure/forgotten when it's so catchy with a great dance beat. The only 80s Bowie songs played on standard radio are 'Let's Dance' (which seems to be on a loop) or occasionally 'Ashes to Ashes'. I like uncovering 80s gems, but it's surprising that even someone as iconic as Bowie has songs that you rarely hear anymore.

      I'm willing to talk about how underrated the actual song is (especially in the later non-80s mix) but this recording, with all the vile sound and arrangement style from the putrid sounding 'Never Let me Down' album should be *more* underrated. I know it's probable that disliked stuff can take on some kind of perverse charm for some but when its creator - Bowie himself - spits on it very publicly, please take notice.

    I remember reading that this was the song that Bowie wanted to release as the first single off the album, but he was overruled/outvoted/persuaded by the record execs to issue 'Day In Day Out' first. I believe the latter got to #17 in the UK charts, and 'Time Will Crawl' subsequently struggled, somewhere in the 30s, if memory serves me correct. We'll never know whether, if TWC had been released first, it would have been top 10. He thought it had a better chance of being a hit than DI, DO.

      from wikipedia, something bowie said in 1995 about this album:
      "It was such an awful album. I've gotten to a place now where I'm not very judgmental about myself. I put out what I do, whether it's in visual arts or in music because I know that everything I do is really heartfelt. Even if it's a failure artistically, it doesn't bother me in the same way that Never Let Me Down bothers me. I really shouldn't have even bothered going into the studio to record it. [laughs] In fact, when I play it, I wonder if I did sometimes."

I don’t think I’d be the person I am today if it weren’t for my mum who told me my first song was China girl and how I’d dance around the house. I honestly don’t think I’d be alive today if it weren’t for Bowie, he was more on the father figure side but also more like my overall obsession but music soulmate. I don’t know what I’d do honestly if I did listen to 64+ songs I enjoy from him.
