    Diving into Bowie is life changing. No other artist comes close. Lyrically he is a master and his ability to choose the perfect musicians to see his vision through is un matched. He brought change in the industry and had so many great bands that were inspired by him. While the entire decade of the 70s saw 11 albums that were all different all inspired, some of his later work has proven to be my favorite, especially his Swan Song, Blackstar. Thank u for this and thanks to whoever requested. Not your typical hit that most reactors do but a stunning example off Hunky Dory.

    Bowie was probably the one person who found a way out of drugs and mental illness that was so entrenched in his family history.. He was actually one of the most entertaining, generous , capricious and self deprecating-people as he grew into his self acknowledgement I believe! He will always be my favorite musician always and travel world wide to have experiences to appreciate that! I know he wasn’t a prophet or a Stone Age man but he still was someone who was intriguing in all the right ways to me! Thanks for the react!

    This song is about acceptance that having faith isn't the same thing as truly knowing what comes after death until you're dead, and realizing philosophy is pointless to push on others. The quicksand is the fear of dying that everyone finds themselves having. It came from his 1971 album Hunky Dory, a few months before he started developing his signature Ziggy Stardust character for the following album.
    Bowie was very into occultism and world philosophies like Buddhism and Judaism and Satanism at the time, not sure of where he had fitted into things. This song was like he was letting go in his early 20s.

    He played this live in 2004 when I saw him on the "Reality" tour. Amazing concert.

    Excellent reaction, good exploration of very dense and mysterious lyrics. I believe Bowie is second only to The Beatles for influence on music and culture. Bowie dabbled in multiple religions and occult magick in his earlier years, but jettisoned them off as fast as his own personas. Every Bowie album in the 70s is a classic gem, you’ve a great road ahead!

    Bowie was a fountain of knowledge and great songs with amazing lyrics and music.
    There’s ‘music’ and then there’s Bowie!

    Bowie has so many great album's and he may be simple on the surface, but is very complex when you dig deeper.

    If you ever read 1984 then Diamond Dogs album is a must.

    Ozzy's "Mister Crowley" is referring to the same Crowley. Bowie got deeply into the occult in the '70s but found no satisfying answers in it and ultimately rejected it.

    One song in his canon (It's in fact a three part suite) that is a favourite amongst Bowie afficianados is "Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (reprise)". If you were to listen through digital means, don't make the mistake of listening to just the first section as it is often split up into three different songs that way. It's from the Diamond Dogs album (1974). The live version from "David Live" is just as good.

    Station to Station. Recoded almost immediately after filming The Man Who Fell to Earth in the autumn of ‘75 and when he was at the height of his cocaine psychosis/addiction.

    I like songs that make me think deeper. And researching things that appear in the lyrics that I don't understand is fun too. "Detritus, open up my mind" is a line from the Spiritbox song "Rule of Nines". I had no idea what Detritus means until I consulted Wikipedia.
    A request/suggestion for a review is "Shake My Head" by David Gogo from the album 17 Vultures.

    Rick Wakeman on a very tasty piano. Rick was (and is now back) with the band Yes. Very good reading of the song!

    Oh yeah, I like this song too. For me Space Odditty and this are the same level! Wow like you ré reaction very much. Noone ever here in the internet are reacting in such detail. I know this song about 50 years now...I have always thought that "Garbo" belongs to Greta Garbo the big film star mainly because on the cover of Hunky Dory (on which this song appears) he looks like her very much , he tried to look like her.. and he managed it!! But you´re recherches go in another direction. Thank you for that.

    Gotta recommend Who Can I Be Now?, a bonus track for his album Young Americans, which Fame replaced. I think you'll love it. 🙂💙
