It takes a lot of balls to attempt this song. You guys nailed it!!! It sounds so immediate and fresh! This is the best Bowie cover I've had the pleasure of hearing. In my heart, I am totally those 2 dancing girls.
This is absolutely brilliant.Tears of joy rolling down my cheeks.The rhythm is phenomenal.The vocals including the backing singers are great!This just blew me away.Bowie's best song.It takes a brave person to attempt this.John from England
I cant stop watching it ;) I Fu**ing love it. As a lifelong Bowie fan this is the best acoustic version of this track i have heard on YT. I run an open mic (The Great Unsigned) in the UK and i would give anything for you guys to play. I also host a Radio show here and this is going out on the Bowie special. well done Lads and lasses.
Holy Crap that's incredible! absolutely blown away! So original without taking away from the song... and the melodica in place of the sax was PERFECT! loved it
Found this song by accident. Was thinking to myself it would be cool to cover "young american" by David bowie but with a soulful feel to it with an acoustic guitar. Well a simple Google search later and I've found my answer. Love the Melodica in this as well! Def an overlooked and underappreciated instrument. Well you guys have gained a new fan! Keep up the good work !
Absolutely powerhouse rendition of an already phenomenal song. Well done for taking one of Bowie's finest and making it shine as much as the original. You truly did it more than justice. Also, this might just be the most 'feel-good' video on youtube. The out takes are so very heartwarming.
I've followed Bowie since the ziggy days and this is the best cover of all his songs appart from Mott The Hoople cover of 'All the Young Dudes' second isn't bad though :)
I just stumbled upon this video. It's really great! Great cover of an awesome song, you very talented folks! This really made me happy on a busy Friday at work! :)
Heard the Bowie original on the radio today and it struck me that his soul phase [or cocaine period]actually produced his best and and most enduring song in Young Americans.Also struck me that it would make a fantastic acoustic /unplugged tune so went searching . Glad I did what a version !What music is all about ,keeping it real . 10/10
Ontem fez quatro anos que o Bowie deixou esse mundo. Estou aqui ouvindo o melhor cover de todos os tempos, chorando, e pensando o quanto sou grato pelo trabalho musical do Bowie. Vocês estão de parabéns!
One of my favourite songs from one of my favourite records, This version impressed.me and my ten year old daughter so much. Just lovely. Bought the original around 75 on cassette. Big Bowie fan much of my life but life has been very busy. Just picking up guitar again and learning this. Just wish I was one of those kids.
So glad you liked it! if you feel so inclined, please check out our other videos and original music at www.secondchildmusic.com! You can download it for free
This was very nice... I just came here from an ISIS documentary...bands like u ..people like u gives faith to humanity and still proves that music is the voice of God. ..keep singing ...keep enjoying life....and one last thing ..that was an absolutely kickass tribute to David Bowie ......THANK YOU
Young Americans singing Young Americans.
I hope David Bowie was able to watch this and it made him smile like I did before he left us to play for them in heaven. RIP David Bowie
