It's looping, so It takes away from the moment, spoils the beauty of the synth, and becomes aggravating and over-played for several minutes. Try watching a live version for some quality 'unique' extension. This extension ruined the song for me
This song takes me back to the winter of 1979. Huge amounts of snow in Virginia. I was twenty years old. Fighting my way out of a bad depression. I was driving one snowy morning in my Datsun 510. The song came on the AM radio. Struck me in such a strange way. And made me feel a little better. Thanks, Dave.
i heard this as a young child & it just blew me away. It was so futuristic & sonically beautiful. Forty plus years later & none of its haunting quality or impact has been lost. What a genius Bowie was!! I love this extended mix, its brilliant! wish it could last forever!!! 💯🌟
Mystical, Hypnotic, Psychedelic an amazing piece of Art if I could go back in time 150yrs and show people what music will sound like in the 1980s imagine their reaction pure wonderment.
Remixing this song is impossible.. yeah yeah we can all mix the lyrics and loop the background. Reading the comments everyone agrees you've done the best mix.. The ending is and has always been the best bit, most moving piece of music ive heard and its ends way to soon. No one has ever done a mix of that bit because its to hard.... until now! YOU NAILED IT!! Really nice work fella.. Well done and thank you.. Such a shame Bowie ended it where it did, modern classical music, way ahead of its time, and to be honest, timeless.. Great choice..
thank you so much for your kind words....when you've had a crap day and then return home to a lovely comment like that it really makes my day....thank you for the comment :)
@@rwb1768 Indeed so excellent !!! Three melodies stringing together on a funky bass ... thank you so much for this. If you are happy to read this after a moody day, I get into my day better listening to this after a sleepless night...
Good version. I remember years ago I'd just broken up with my girlfriend, packed my stuff and had to get a bus to the other side of the country to see my brother because his was the only door open to me. Anyway, I was sitting at the back, looking out the window, feeling alone and listening to this. It was at the part of the song where he starts thing "My mother said to get things done..." and I saw these horses running over the top of a hill. And in that moment I felt so isolated. Like I might as well have been on Mars, watching strange alien horses cross a Martian dune. Your extended mix of that part brought it all back. Major Tom Syndrome, I called it after that.
Wow!! Never heard this extended verison and it's my top 3 Bowie songs!!! I hate to say it but I love YT cuz growing up in the 70s, this was before VCR s and MTV didn't air until 1980 so finding music and videos that I've never seen is like the holy grail!!🌠🎉🎈
🎼🎵🎶🔊Grr8 Ultra Extended Song!! I went jogging with this & went an extra mile & I'm 66yrs. old. Even played it over to 🆒 down. Thank You! RW B! Hope this stays on RUclips 4Ever!! 😊💕✨ Will tell My Family & Friends, also put a LIKE (#266).
I was only 7 years old when it was on MTV and it still captured my full attention! I didn't understand anything, I didn't understand English, I didn't understand who major Tom was, but I remember the tremendous impression left on me by those strange sounds and the old woman in the clip who walks with the hallucinatory and sad clown .... From that day on I feel the same way when I hear the tremendous gift that was left for us humens by the gifted alien David Bowie. You are being missed very much ❤
It was there all the time wasn't it ..... just needed someone to bring it out into the light .... Thank you so much for doing this. Pretty sure that he would have approved too.
I left the David Bowie Is Exhibit (final days) celebrating/mourning the talent and bigger than life personality of David Bowie. An iconoclast who brought the off-beat into the mainstream, he never shied away from being different. Long live the legacy of this extraordinary individual.
So great! Thank you for this extended version! The last part of this song transcends into a metamorphosis like frequency! It is my favorite songs of all time, and the last section introduces another world! This made me a subscriber instantly! 💗🙏👍💛🌄🌌💜
Somebody did a SPECTACULAR job with this remix. I used it in one of my projects and have listened to it maybe 100 times. It is just tremendous. WELL DONE & thank you!!!
What an amazing piece of music when it gets emotional. Bowie was a true artist but fair play to who ever you are that made this beautiful loop you've captured the best part of this song. Xxx
This is an extraordinarily fine job of work. I was a Bowie fanatic years prior to Scary Monsters, and having loved “Ashes to Ashes” passionately since the day the single debuted, I was completely uninterested in any unofficial remixing. I was practically forced to give this a chance by a friend to whom I’m truly grateful. It’s amazing to hear myself saying it, but I love what you’ve done! And if you’re not a professional audio engineer, you might want to reconsider you choice of career. I have one tiny quibble, and I hope you won’t mind if I ask about it. Why did you omit the stunning sound of Major Tom “roaring,” (as I can only describe it)? Again, top flight work! Thanks for sharing it with us.
The end of the song which fishing off with the synthesizer - being extended is absolutely magic - love it RW B you have nailed it, best REMIX. Thank you.
One of Bowies best singles. Incredible that although it quickly got to the top of the UK charts, even with the superb video this failed to chart in the USA.
El solo del synth es la cosa más bella y triste, como cuando lloras de alegría/alivio o después de un día muy jodido alguien es amable contigo y te rompes en ese momento
This is one of my (if not the) favorite songs from Bowie, but I always felt the ending was a bit too short. It's great to hear this, specially with the Space Oddity parallels!
one of the best pieces of music ever written, especially the ending. The only thing that can match it is Beethovens Ode to joy. Pure genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah i agree, this song totally stood out to me...so i decided to extend the synth ending...i love it...thanks for the comments Steve, i appreciate it :)
yeah this is pretty sweet! I dig me some Bowie! and no problem, you have some pretty cool stuff posted here. so since you are extending these (which is good work by the way) explain to me your background in editing music. do you record music as well?
haha i wish. I just have my likes and dislikes. Its more of a personal hobby of mine. I also do personal visual music trailers...which basially is editing footage of a series i like and blending it with music...it takes time and patience but from what i've heard the end result is great :D
I don't know if you (Lee Roy) actually remixed this personally, but if so Very well done. I was honestly thinking before even hearing it first that it was going to suck and be over mixed ,but it blew me away how clear and consistent it flowed with no intrusive sounds being heard which would I think ruin it. On the original song I always wanted the ending extended because it was one of my favorite parts in the song, well... You nailed it! Thanx
💯👋👋 i was really young when i first heard this masterpiece & i was transfixed! sonically its stunningly beautiful. you made it more magnificent, if that's possible on a Bowie track lol! you made the intro & outro longer, its the best part! so atmospheric, thats appreciated 💯👋💯 it could go on forever, the best ive heard. thank you for staying true to the original!
The synth ending is amazing and I’ve always wanted it to go on forever, well here you go.
I love that part the most. Idiot DJ's always talk over it when it is played on the radio!
@@philiphalpenny3783exactly, it spoils the beauty of this masterpiece when they don't play it in it's entirety.

You might be a few months out. It wasn't recorded until the following year.
@@trebleking1641 bowie's music is timeless
78/79 26 inches in Maryland ... week off school !
cheese and rice.....it even snowed in va bch.......this song went with nuclear scare and winter.....
It was released 1 August 1980 in the UK. So a little early.
Brilliant - always wanted this song to be longer
Me too
The greatest!

Regardless of length - original or this...... Bowie was so superb, one of a kind, beyond. This one of his unparalleled best. Thank you!!
finally someone did it ! Thank you so much for this biggest synth ending
Goosebumps at the extended synth solo...
Damn that goddamn ad that popped up halfway through
🎼🎵🎶🔊Grr8 Ultra Extended Song!! I went jogging with this & went an extra mile & I'm 66yrs. old. Even played it over to 🆒 down. Thank You! RW B! Hope this stays on RUclips 4Ever!! 😊💕✨
Will tell My Family & Friends, also put a LIKE (#266).
I thought it would run out of momentum, but it doesn't. The keyboards make it climb and climb! What a gift, thanks.
it's fantastic to hear this song for a long time

Marionette costume is perfection and so is your pose.😁
It was there all the time wasn't it ..... just needed someone to bring it out into the light .... Thank you so much for doing this. Pretty sure that he would have approved too.
Your correct Sidney,this just waiting too be made..it's superb💯
Eleven minutes twenty seven seconds of pure listening pleasure.

I was there too.Amazing is too small a word to describe it.😊😊😊
My mama said...around the world around the world.
Forever.
The very best remix on RUclips. Superb. Well done.
Qué canción tan rara y hermosa a la vez, algunas líneas de la letra son hermosas más allá de la historia que cuenta.
1 hour version, please! 👏👏👏
Yeah that would be great Arce👌
Can this just go on forever ?
Fabulous ❤❤❤
Bowie's best track true classic spanning over decades true genius

Ultra extension. MAGNIFICENT
I have just re-listened. This is a masterpiece
Wow, great work, I love it. Excellent sound. My favorite song.
Nicely done, my friend. The best part of the song is a song itself.
Bowie was a student of "leave them wanting more", school.
This is such a GREAT version......

FANTASTIC JOB DONE ......From A producer who knows and respects Good work
This is one of my (if not the) favorite songs from Bowie, but I always felt the ending was a bit too short. It's great to hear this, specially with the Space Oddity parallels!
BEAUTIFUL.
Beautiful, brings back so many memories.
This is one of his hardest songs to remix...you did well.
Very cleverly remixed. Great job
thanks man, really appreciate your kind words :)
This is a brilliant remix. The last bit of the song is the best part so to listen to it again and again is so fulfilling
Perfect
WOOOOWWWWW...........Pure space rock
Great 👍👍👍.Great graphics too.I saw that actual costume (and many others) at the Brooklyn Museum exhibit last year.
Stunning!!!
I'd just like to remind, that you've done a piece of great job. That's what we all needed. Thanks!
Best bowie intro ever
Tremenda versión!!!! De culto... Forever 80's... Saludos de Chile...
Bowie siempre y por siempre
Completely Mesmerizing 🍷👍🍷
Nice job on this! I always wanted to hear an extended version of the outro and you did awesome! Thank you!
This is a beautiful contrast to Space Oddity's outro.
thank you, glad you liked it :)
I love to see what a rapper would do with this song...love to check it out😂
Yeah BB..Eminem raps Ashes to Ashes 😂
He died on my 50th birthday. RIP. 😪❤️
Yeah - more is more. #BowieForever
