The credits in the beginning say Produced and Directed by "Mick Rock"... He just passed away the other day. A great British photographer who took many iconic photographs of David Bowie Queen and pictures of Freddie alone. He did the cover for "Queen 2" that inspired the beginning of the well known "Bohemian Rhapsody" silhouette, and many other videos and album covers including "Sheer Heart Attack" too. Mick Rock was very friendly with Freddie and David on a personal level and worked with other rock stars of that era. Very much a Rock Star in his own right. This song by David was his first hit to make it. Inspired by the iconic walk on the moon. And was the intro to "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" Check out "Ashes to Ashes" Major Tom makes another appearance on that song and on David's last album "Black Star" David was and is a true legend ... Who will always have a special place in my heart. You should listen to the album "Station to Station" in it's entirety. "Wild is the Wind" and "Word on a Wing" are beautiful ballads. David's voice is outstanding and Dereck the title track will blow your mind completely. Rest Peacefully Starman...Miss you 🎶🌟🌹🎶
I'd really like to hear your reaction to "Golden Years" due to it's incredibly crisp accoustics and very unique soundscape. But I'm not going to complain about Any Bowie. Golden Years is seriously yummy ear candy. "Oh darn it! I have to listen to a David Bowie song instead of a David Bowie song??? That is so mean!"
My poor Dereck, if you discover Bowie, you have not finished having tears in the eyes of happiness so much this artist of genius created hundreds of admirable songs.
A lot of Bowie songs have him layering all the backing vocals himself. The man was so far ahead of anyone around him at the time , it took the world a while to catch up. ❤
There is only one song that can follow that. "Ashes to Ashes". The two songs were recorded 10 years apart but Bowie went through so many phases that it was very different. Please react to it very soon!
There is no one that will ever be cooler than David Bowie. The look on your face is priceless. I have loved him since I was 13 years old. I am now 61. He's a genius.
Space Oddity, a classic, can never be duplicated. This one was the 1972 re-release of Space Oddity (by far my favourite). It was originally released in 1969, you should try to see the video to that. Basically the same song but without the signature use of the Stylophone! Just unique.
@@malachycarson5846 Interesting to see that one and in a different key too - but this is the 1969 one I was talking about. Different again! ruclips.net/video/tRMZ_5WYmCg/видео.html
You’ve been exposed to Bowie, now there is sooo much to hear and absorb. Bowie was to the 70s what The Beatles were to the 60s. I’d recommend Life on Mars, Aladdin Sane, Moonage Daydream, Station to Station, the Man Who Sold the World, Fascination, Ashes to Ashes, Black Star, so many amazing songs to discover!
It was during this period that Freddie Mercury met David ... At Kensington Market in London. Freddie and Roger Taylor ran a clothes stand there, and they sold him a pair of boots 😉 Freddie even served as his roadie a few times 😁
It's always fascinating, the gap between Euros and Yankees ;). I'm 47, a new wave/ classic rock/metalhead and everything in between. It still shocks me when Bowie is DISCOVERED when to me it's such an evidence. But it's still great to see Dereck get his head BLOWN OFF ! Keep it up you're a great one D:) !
Now you only need to check out a few dozen albums and about 200 songs! Enjoy the journey. I think Bowie is one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time.
"ahead of it's time" means simply that others decided this was a good idea and copy it... everything Bowie from this album to 1983 was ahead of the game and very original. Check out Diamond Dogs for another head trip.
You have SO much to discover with Bowie! One of the true giants of modern popular music and one of the most innovative and influential music artists of all-time! When it comes to influence, probably only The Beatles rank higher than Bowie! An incredible artist, who'd change his stage persona every few years, to match his changes in musical style. So much incredible music, he's a hero and an icon to the disenfranchised and marginalised, to freaks, rebels and minorities. Through his art alone, he probably did more to advance the cause of lgbtq equality than most activist organisations. An incredibly intelligent, funny and thoughtful man, yet very private at the same time. We will never see his like again. His death caused shockwaves around the World. It was headline news and World leaders queued up to praise him, including both President Obama and the Pope. The British Parliament even paused official business to laud him and pay their respects. He's sorely missed!
Great respectful reaction to the one and only David (jones) Bowie, iam 58yrs old and it was this song that got me hooked on music.if you get a chance there is a video on RUclips from Tony Viscotti who was Bowies producer on Heroes, its a break down of how the song evolved from just a bit or sound and then it took off from there.
“Hand claps! Get the &@#! out of here!” Made me laugh. Love you, Dereck! Welcome to the Bowie rabbit hole. It’s a really, really rewarding one. I’m here for it all.
I love the change in lyrics.....after trouble with the craft...."Here am I FLOATING on my tin can". So, Major Tom left the capsule (tin can) and is floating away "far above the moon". Cool lyrics.
I've been blessed to have seen DB 4 times ,each time a singular experience.. Great react . Ty! Ps ~im new here.. have you ft. Brian Eno as yet ? Laurie Anderson? ( she has a great A/V collab w Nasa I saw not too long ago ) I love 2001 as well !
I remember when Space Oddity was first played on Radio 1 (in the UK). At that time Radio 1 was broadcast on 247m AM, so coupled with the fact that most of us were listening on tinny sounding transistor radios, it didn't sound anything like this. Mono record players were still prevalent in most teens bedrooms, so we didn't get to hear any of the stereo effects on the single either. For those whose parents had a stereo music centre, which were the rage then, you could get to hear the album version in stereo when they were out.
Also playing with David is his good friend, keyboard wizard Rick Wakeman, on Mellotron and Stylophone. Rick was offered a place in David Bowie's band but turned it down to join progressive rock band Yes.
Ooohhhh.... 2001 Space Odyssey. The best movie of all time. The kind of film you need to prepare for. Much more than just a film... It's cinematic philosophy. For an enhanced experience of Bowie from space, though not as Major Tom, see "The man who fell to earth".
He went to the US looking like a hippy in a kaftan, which had become sooo mainstream, so he shook it up a bit and returned a God. He toured with Blondie and Iggy Pop. Infact, I think Ziggy came from Iggy, or the other way around. If you haven't reviewed Peter Schilling - Major Tom. Give it a blast. Its recorded in German and English versions.
you need to react to Arcade Fire, dereck. David Bowie was a huge fan of them. Wake up or Tunnels (both in live) for an introduction to them would be perfect 😉
Just for Fun, listen to this song once through your left speaker, then through your right. You get two different songs experiences. (And the song lyrics are even a bit different).
Bowie is a creative genius when Bowie died it felt like such a monumental occasion. Ashes to Ashas would be fantastic to check out but anything by Bowie would be worth your time.
David Bowie era un genio. Lo descubrí de pequeña Gracias a la película Labyrinth. Por el me encanta el glam rock. Está tiene un rollo muy psicodélico. Rock progresivo total. Nirvana tiene un cover de él the man who sold the world.
There is a cover incl. a video of it by "Chris Hadfield" which is incredible amazing. Sure! How can there be a another version of Bowies performance at all and stil can be amazing!? o_O Chris was a Commander on the International Space Station (ISS) and performed a cover in (real) space, -outside of our earth! So if he is singing "here i'm floating in a tin pin, far away from home" he is actually is floating in a tin pin far away from home! < and that is amazing, 'cause it's true! :-) Worth to check it out as it's not a video-trick creating a space-scene effect as he is in space ...^^+gg
I actually feel sorry fot the future generations who have never heard off or listened to artists such as David Bowie . So glad that I grew up in the era off some of the greatset bands ever. Pinl Floyd , AC/DC , David Bowie , Queem etc and still heard classics such as Abba , Simon and Garfunkel .Led Zepplin., Then we had Kate bush , OMD and even such alternative bands such as the sparks . Music wasn"t about genre it was purely about what you enjoyed listening tp!
There is an earlier version of this song when it was first released with a very low budget yet creative video (you have to remember videos were not being made in the 60's-70's, only the occasional promo for a song from an already established group). Also you can find an earlier performance of him doing this live on a European TV show, pre-Ziggy. My fave live filmed performance of this is his last "Ziggy" extravaganza from the Midnight Special Show that he called "The 1980 Floor Show" (Bowie was always good for a pun), I will leave a link for anyone interested. He is mesmerizing in it, IMHO. m.ruclips.net/video/0iLoJMfNQSQ/видео.html
SO IF YOU WANT TO DO PART 2 TO THIS DERECK, IT'S ( ASHES TO ASHES ) WHICH HE DID WAYYYYYYYYYY LATER, IT'S GREAT! :) DEEP R.I.P. TO DAVID :( YOU ARE MISSED :(
the song was produced by Gus Dudgeon, the ranting you are doing about the song is more about the production as much as the actual chords, notes, lyrics.
Hope you saw 2001: A Space Odyssey on a big screen, not a laptop. It's all about an audio + visual experience to make you think about man's place in the universe.
Hey please react to INNA with Cola Song and INNA Oh my God please those two songs are very electrodance and commendable for you, react both soon, please
David Bowie is a real genius. You can't go wrong with him. There's a lot of masterpiece you should check by him . "Changes", Ziggy Stardust", Ashes To Ashes", "Fame", "Life on Mars", "Let's Dance", "Modern Love", "Blackstar" and many many many others
2001 A Space Odyssey was an inspiration for this song, undoubtedly but an even bigger influence was the ongoing space programme and the upcoming Apollo 11 mission to the Moon. The song was released just before the Moon landing took place. :)
This was originally released in the UK in 1969 and reached number 5 on the singles chart .. it was re-issued in 1975 and made number 1 ... NASA were going to use it as their theme for the Apollo launches but then they realised the lyrics weren't appropriate
More Bowie reactions please! When I first played this on a 12 String Guitar, I found myself learning chords that I didn't even know existed. Bowie's music compositions are pure genius.
You should check Klaus Nomi "The Cold Song"... David Bowie liked him and he even performed with him... And talking about german music, Bowie was also an early fan on Kraftwerk...
It reminds me when I discover Bowie when I was 20. It was the beginning of a new world. It leads me to new music, new novelist, new movies etc… Bowie is my god and I am so happy I had the chance to see him once in concert. He was just amazing. So many great songs…. Among the not that famous one you can try Joe the Lion or Blackout, the Beauty and the beast. Just give energy !
The keyboards are courtesy of the legendary (and very young) Rick Wakeman who did the whole thing in one take. Bowie offered him a gig with the Spiders from Mars on the same day he joined Yes.
Looks like it's Ashes to Ashes next???
Yes!
The credits in the beginning say Produced and Directed by "Mick Rock"... He just passed away the other day. A great British photographer who took many iconic photographs of David Bowie Queen and pictures of Freddie alone.

Rest Peacefully Starman...Miss you

Should also listen to this one : ruclips.net/video/KaOC9danxNo/видео.html&ab_channel=RareEarth made by a real astronaut as a tribute.
I'd really like to hear your reaction to "Golden Years" due to it's incredibly crisp accoustics and very unique soundscape. But I'm not going to complain about Any Bowie. Golden Years is seriously yummy ear candy.

There will never be another one like Bowie a masterful singer, songwriter, and performer ❤️✌️

Yes, Sue, I thought of this one as well!
Ashes to Ashes, Life on Mars and Ziggy Stardust are must do reactions for Bowie's early music.
Bowie updated the Major Tom story 11 years later on a song called "Ashes to ashes". I think you'd love it.
There is no one that will ever be cooler than David Bowie. The look on your face is priceless. I have loved him since I was 13 years old. I am now 61. He's a genius.
I have also ..same
I’m 32 and I was mortified when Bowie passed away
Space Oddity, a classic, can never be duplicated. This one was the 1972 re-release of Space Oddity (by far my favourite). It was originally released in 1969, you should try to see the video to that. Basically the same song but without the signature use of the Stylophone! Just unique.

David Bowie at his best.
Late 60s/Early 70s .. Stereo was still something special, Space was HOT and the very first analog synths was edging in .. all to be played with
Apparently in 1969 (its origional release) this was 'banned by the BBC' until Apollo 11 had safely returned home.
Very cool Dereck😉. Thanks you 🙏for David Bowie ( The best for me ) 🎼👍
Bowie was a total genius, love this along with "Heroes" and "Ashes To Ashes"!!!
You’ve been exposed to Bowie, now there is sooo much to hear and absorb. Bowie was to the 70s what The Beatles were to the 60s. I’d recommend Life on Mars, Aladdin Sane, Moonage Daydream, Station to Station, the Man Who Sold the World, Fascination, Ashes to Ashes, Black Star, so many amazing songs to discover!
Blackstar needs to be after all those, because it is such a final piece for him.
As the world falls down too
It was during this period that Freddie Mercury met David ... At Kensington Market in London. Freddie and Roger Taylor ran a clothes stand there, and they sold him a pair of boots 😉 Freddie even served as his roadie a few times 😁
I appreciate the way you rewind after cutting in at an unfortunate moment. That's surprisingly uncommon in reaction videos.
I try lol

It still shocks me when Bowie is DISCOVERED when to me it's such an evidence. But it's still great to see Dereck get his head BLOWN OFF ! Keep it up you're a great one D:) !
There will only be one Bowie
So much love for Mister Bowie 💖 He's the one..
Someone on RUclips made a mix with this song and a real lift off of the space shuttle :so emotional
Queen and David Bowie, Under Pressure, fantastic song
Just fantatsic...love this song so much
Now you only need to check out a few dozen albums and about 200 songs! Enjoy the journey. I think Bowie is one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time.
We appreciate that you recognize Bowie as a true god of music 😆

David Bowie - also one of the LEGENDS hat will never die!
It's more than unbelievable... it's genius

If you want to hear a Bowie song with a ton of layers, try "Heroes".

Now watch the ultimate hommage to this song, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty by Ben Stiller...
Love it so much...
Buf, there is so many great Bowie's songs to react to....
I love this song , fantastic....
Masterpiece! And this was only one of his first masterpieces ... More to come in this group, I hope?
Astronaut, Chris Hadfield, brought his guitar up to the International Space Station, and performed this for the heavens and beyond.
Chris Hadfield: Canadian moustache rules ! ;)
@@samueldevulder His daughter was going to university over here in Dublin. When he flew over Ireland he said he was just keeping an eye on her :)
Iconic song.
It may have been through the 2001 Odyssey lens but its about a Heroin OD.
Also playing with David is his good friend, keyboard wizard Rick Wakeman, on Mellotron and Stylophone. Rick was offered a place in David Bowie's band but turned it down to join progressive rock band Yes.

Cher Dereck David Bowie est unique inégalable
Dereck, PLEASE check out/do Station2Station by DB. Stunning piece!!
And of course "Heroes" too...
Please do the reaction of David Bowie's "Blackstar" as well. It's one of his last songs.
Bowie and Bing Crosby did Little Drummer Boy, fantastic. RIP David
David Bowie= Musical Genius.
💜💜💜

Evert song he released was nothing like the last one.

David Bowie to do list:
Heroes
Rebel Rebel
Let's Dance
Suffragette city
Diamond Dog
Well, he produced Lou Reed!
Awesome song. His second better masterpiece is "life on mars"... You must listen to it. Incredible song i think.
SO IF YOU WANT TO DO PART 2 TO THIS DERECK, IT'S ( ASHES TO ASHES ) WHICH HE DID WAYYYYYYYYYY LATER, IT'S GREAT! :) DEEP R.I.P. TO DAVID :( YOU ARE MISSED :(
You should react to the song "dancing in the street"by Bowie and Mick Jagger
🙏🙏🙏🤩🤩🤩💐💐💐💖💖💖
David won an Ivor nevello for this song
The man who sold the world
Heroes
Ashes to ashes
China girl
Etc...
Enjoy yr insights
the song was produced by Gus Dudgeon, the ranting you are doing about the song is more about the production as much as the actual chords, notes, lyrics.
Hi, Dereck...David Bowie's "Space Oddity" has nothing to do with Kubrick's "Space Odyssey." Bowie's inspiration was the moon landing in 1969.
Hope you saw 2001: A Space Odyssey on a big screen, not a laptop. It's all about an audio + visual experience to make you think about man's place in the universe.
Yes I saw it on my huge tv..and the transfer was amazing
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥🚀
Love Bowie and love Kubrick =)
If you like The Shining, check out the video for The Kill, by Thirty Seconds to Mars ;)
Yes, but have you heard it on........weed?
OMG, I'm old even you don' t know Space Oddity
You think this is trippy, you should listen to Cygnet Committee by Bowie..
Hey please react to INNA with Cola Song and INNA Oh my God please those two songs are very electrodance and commendable for you, react both soon, please
this was a new version from 1972 the first version from 1969 was much better
I like the channel but can we stop pretending he just discovered "Space Oddity" for the first time.... Please
David Bowie is a real genius. You can't go wrong with him.
There's a lot of masterpiece you should check by him .
"Changes", Ziggy Stardust", Ashes To Ashes", "Fame", "Life on Mars", "Let's Dance", "Modern Love", "Blackstar" and many many many others
Under pressure, The heart's filthy lesson, Andy Warhol, etc, etc. So many good songs, the repertoire is vast.
I'm a big fan of songs like starman also - very joyus.
Rebel Rebel
Suffragette City
To name some others!
Especially "Let's dance"👍. You seem to like 1980s.
Where are we now is a masterpiece
Moonage Daydream!
Magnifique titre d'un fantastique Bowie. Bowie's the best, and this song is cult ❤️
Bowie forever.
2001 A Space Odyssey was an inspiration for this song, undoubtedly but an even bigger influence was the ongoing space programme and the upcoming Apollo 11 mission to the Moon. The song was released just before the Moon landing took place. :)
Wait, you've never heard Space Oddity before? How is that possible? 😲 Welcome to the magical world of David Bowie. He was simply amazing.
Let's face it- he's not played that much. And where? On radio? Who listen to the radio these days?
@@flugsven me!!
@@carolynthompson3291 Awesome- but it's not usual among younger people.
I do too, but I'm a rather old woman, so.. 🤷🏼♀️
Awesome song & reaction
This was Bowie in his Ziggy stardust character.please check out life on Mars and my fav starman
This was originally released in the UK in 1969 and reached number 5 on the singles chart .. it was re-issued in 1975 and made number 1 ... NASA were going to use it as their theme for the Apollo launches but then they realised the lyrics weren't appropriate
More Bowie reactions please! When I first played this on a 12 String Guitar, I found myself learning chords that I didn't even know existed. Bowie's music compositions are pure genius.
Oh, yes, some David Bowie finally! Thanks Dereck! There isn’t enough David Bowie’s songs on your channel. 😉 Could I hope for more in the future?
