Christopher is a coward? Mate, you're the keyboard warrior. Why do you feel the need to be so derogatory to someone you've never met, purely because your musical tastes differ? You sound like a fucking moron.
I discovered this on April 11th, 2018, when I was freshly dumped and coming down from a high. I cried. I listened to this on loop on April 21st, 2018, the day after my ex died. I cried then too. Now I can properly cry and enjoy this wonderful tune. Thank you.
Still can't stop watching Bowie videos, interviews, covers he has done, covers of his songs etc., this was just great!! Thank you very much, Heart felt and Beautiful cover!!
I was watching the film Once. And for the life of me I couldn't figured out why your voice made me soo sad and I couldn't figure where I had heard you from because I had never heard your music at all and it wasn't until I watched the the memorial for David outside of his apartment and then it hit me - it was you singing, in the cold, while mourning David Bowie. Now that I know, and where I'm at, I think it's just amazing how it clicked like that. and I just thought that I should tell you that. and your music, makes my heart ache because your voice is beautiful. I hope you see this post one day.
First time I heard Glen I was at Paradiso in Amsterdam, on a spare ticket from friends and after 3 songs I was overwhelmed, Seen Bowie but this is a tribute which is, lost for words to be honest. Magnificent.
wow. thank you so so much glen. as I 40 year plus bowie fan and like so many many other people I was devastated at David's passing. your version of ashes to ashes embodies the raw emotion and pain of our loss and in no small way is helping me heal... many many thanks glen .
First time I heard this, I sent it to my very-recent ex. It was one of the last things I ever sent him before he killed himself. Still makes me cry. Excellent cover.
Bravo! You really captured the pathos in the song - maybe even more so than in the original recording, with all it's instrumental distractions. David would be pleased.
Way to feel the music mate! I guess most people know what this song is about, but you really got down in there and showed the reckless abandon of addiction. Truly, thank you , and keep digging deep.
Nearing year 3 of having heard this and then lost my ex to suicide a little over a week later. Doesn't get easier but hearing this does. Beautiful as ever.
half of visualizations must be mine, and I have enjoyed all of them. Stunning guitar song performance.Every hit has it's 100% perfect intensity. And the voice, what can I say? This man has no limits, I have seen him singing to all theatre without mic. Whereas, RUclips hits is full of robotic voices. This is our world, at least we have Glen. I wait you in BCN next week.
Really great ! How deep you feel this song and how much energie you give to serve it. You brought me with you. It was a very nice trip. Thanks so much.
+joungmo yang It's so beautiful in its directness and simplicity of expression (just a man and a guitar). Not based on the technology and imitation like in The Grammy's.
I'm not really sure how to say this, but in french,I'd say: c'est une version très sentie et très authentique, Merci ! Thanks and thanks again ! I' d love to ear other acoustic version of Bowie from you
What a powerful cover! I saw live Glen in Cologne and Cork - Always awesome. AND the concert in Cologne was the first concert my little sister went to - She was smiling the whole time :-) Thanks for all the great music!
If there was any flaw in Bowie’s version it was in the New Romantic era synth heavy instrumentation which contrasted with the edgy lyrics of a man struggling with addiction. Here in this bare arrangement that rawness comes through. Thank you.
when i couldn´t connect with anybody, his music touched me and that´s some powerful shit i will never forget. silly, but it was scary to me hearing of his passing away. feeling the gap.
So glad I saw Glen on Tavis Smiley interview about this.. and found this one and the one he did in front of David Bowie's Apartment building.. The Pathos is complete.
I come back to this tribute over and over again. 💜
Same here
Please, Glen, record an all-acoustic David Bowie cover album!
+Christopher DeWan do u know the soundtrack "The life Aquatic of Steve Zissou"?
+Marisol Cordeiro It's so so good, right? (But it doesn't replace my NEED for a Glen Hansard album of David Bowie songs!)
Please don't. At least your own third-rate shite music we can avoid. Glen Hansard....the living proof that one song does indeed not make an album.
Hey, Doc-what kind of art do you make and share with the world? Or do you just focus mainly on spewing hate on the Internet?

Excellent. A lot of emotion.
Sincerly, thank you. Manly tears were shed.
Fantastic song, and darn good cover.

Wonderful, beautiful, brilliant! You sir are amazing, David Bowie would be proud!!! 😀😀😀☺❤❤❤⭐👍😄
Thanks ever so for your cover, Glen, it made my skin crawl! I feel your emotion and can't break away from this song.
I've just played this 4 times back to back. This is staggeringly good!!
This is possibly the best Bowie cover I have heard in the recent slew of Bowie covers. Very nicely done, sir.
Way to feel the music mate!
I guess most people know what this song is about, but you really got down in there and showed the reckless abandon of addiction.
Truly, thank you , and keep digging deep.

i really felt this cover, this was so good brother.
Oh, man. WOW. Never imagine that just one man and one guitar can make one song so powerful and wonderful like this.
I'm not really sure how to say this, but in french,I'd say: c'est une version très sentie et très authentique, Merci ! Thanks and thanks again ! I' d love to ear other acoustic version of Bowie from you
So much emotion in one song. Excellent cover! You the man!
wow actual chills and tears when that first chorus went back into the chords of the second verse! wonderful cover best I've seen

Excellent! Thank you for share your talent!

What a powerful cover! I saw live Glen in Cologne and Cork - Always awesome. AND the concert in Cologne was the first concert my little sister went to - She was smiling the whole time :-)
Thanks for all the great music!
God, that was beautiful.
If there was any flaw in Bowie’s version it was in the New Romantic era synth heavy instrumentation which contrasted with the edgy lyrics of a man struggling with addiction. Here in this bare arrangement that rawness comes through. Thank you.
I remember balling my eyes out hearing this for the first time. Oh my god he's really gone.
Amazing
So emotional... great ! ;)
Really nice cover. Good and gritty.
fantastic singing! Great Cover
Great rendition of a fave!
Lovely stuff.
when i couldn´t connect with anybody, his music touched me and that´s some powerful shit i will never forget. silly, but it was scary to me hearing of his passing away. feeling the gap.
that was passionate. Excellent cover.
So glad I saw Glen on Tavis Smiley interview about this.. and found this one and the one he did in front of David Bowie's Apartment building.. The Pathos is complete.
Glen, I'm happy, hope you're happy too
Love your voice.
Love it mate.
Excellent!

Year 3. Miss you every day.
