The first incarnation of David Bowie that I knew. He was a chameleon who changed his appearance and musical style so many times but still maintained his brilliance.
The song is from 69 but this video is from 72. We were all obsessed with the Moon landing & outer space. I used to turn the speakers over to one side so you would hear the countdown upfront. It’s an incredible way to listen to it, with the background up front.
David didn't die, he returned to his home planet. Saw him live in 81 I think. Awesome beyond expectations. It was an outdoor gig and the toilets were THE cleanest, classiest I have ever seen. Pure class all the way.
@@JB-yb4wn I know what killed him. I don't think he really went to another planet, obviously. I am not a moron believe it or not. Did you have a humourectomy? Aw so sorry.
Bowie's work was great and not just his "novelty song" period either. He has tons of great songs all across his career. I could list them, but others have already likely done so. My favorites include "TVC-15", "China Girl" and "Suffragette City". Another great psychedelic work appeared in the unusual year of 1985-- the Dukes of Stratosphear's "25 O'Clock". Unusual because everyone else thought the psychedelic genre was done with by 1969 (cf. this Bowie song). A great year for music and yet this song didn't get played much on the radio.
David Bowie wrote this after watching the epic movie '2001: A Space Odyssey'. Nothing to do with dying. What an imagination you have! Maybe You should be writing lyrics!!
Beatles vibey...I like it. He and John Lennon did 'Fame' together. (Bowie also wrote a VERY COOL tribute song about a quirky low budget NJ show that Lennon was a big fan of, and turned Bowie onto. . The song is called 'Slip Away' about The Uncle Floyd Show.)
WOODSTOCK MUST SEE PERFORMANCES.... Tripping on LSD.....Santana - "Soul Sacrifice".... Full version 9 minute + with entire legendary drum solo from 20 year old Michael Shrieve. Joe Cocker - "With A Little Help From My Friends"..... Ten Years After - "I'm Going Home".... several more.
David Bowie - Aladdin Sane, Youn Americans, This is not America, Let's Dance, China Girl, Lazarus, Blackstar Weird sounds is mellotron played by Rick Wackeman from group Yes. Melletron was analog synthesizer. This is Beatles era. T.Rex - 20th Century Boy, Metal Guru
I see your latest reaction and just smile, again. Like I said, strap in tight for your flight into Outer Space with this classic tune. One Of A Kind. Another Home Run.
I am a space age baby. On of earliest memories is the first landing on the Moon. The entire world stood still and watched with so much hope. Maybe your next reaction should be everyone reacting to the world celebrating.
Thanks for doing one of the songs I suggested.i hope you do the official video for life on Mars Ashes to ashes (this song mentions major tom) Starman(from top of the pops show) Jean genie Changes Golden years Let's dance

Bowie in his ziggy stardust days, a legendary talent.

Very well said.

This one right here, is a legend. He was changable and was always on cue. Thank you for your reaction.

Uh no, he died, his liver called it quits.
@@JB-yb4wn You say dead I say the Star man went home to his original planet. Who is to say?
@@DawnSuttonfabfour
A coroner in the UK says so, actually liver cancer is what killed him.
@@JB-yb4wn I know what killed him. I don't think he really went to another planet, obviously. I am not a moron believe it or not. Did you have a humourectomy? Aw so sorry.
all time classic! ♥
This song was released just days before the moon landing in 1969.
Interesting!

A Canadian astronaut (I can't remember his name) sang this on the ISS while floating. It's pretty cool.

Thank you for playing one of my favorite Bowie songs. It's sad, but I love it.❤
His spirit is leaving his body. He's mind (ground control) talking to his conscience (spirt) as he dies and looses contact.

You should checkout "Ashes to Ashes", it's the sequel to this song that Bowie made about ten years later.

Yes!!! I also get a Beatles vibe from this song. I think it's the harmonies, and the different movements. Also the storytelling.
