I ran out into the night right after an Iggy show at the Harvard Square theater in 1977. I was alone in front of the theater on Mass. Ave. A limo pulled around the corner and stopped at the traffic light in front of me. I knew. I ran up to it and knocked on the smokey windows. And then....then....Iggy...David Bowie...and Debbie Harry all leaned forward and waved earnestly ....teeth gleaming. The light changed...the limo sped off ....I was alone with that moment no one saw. When I hear " 5 Years", I think of that slow motion dream moment. Only...it was real.

[@cubes6012]

Love it. Lucky you!

[@drychaf]

As a Bowie fan for 50 years, it's great to hear a band treat a favourite seriously, and do such a good job.

[@msterryozimek]

Bowie would approve.

[@Vandebilt]

But not Woody, I suppose.

[@peteyoung7665]

No.How can this have 300k and Bowie's(the real deal!)Dinah Shore version of Five Years has 60k?!It just shows how stupid people are.Check out the Dinah Shore live version it's amazing!

[@danielscott1749]

Lou did when they covered him!

[@bluegregory6239]

Margo's voice is still hauntingly amazing!

[@BigTunaAK]

it always is.

[@aries9929]

This is my favorite video on KZbin hands down. I grew up listening to cowboy junkies, fell in love with their sound, and they’re one of the bands that inspired me to do music as a career. And David bowie has had the same profound effect on me. So when I saw this video, I just cried. And listened to it ten, fifteen more times. I need this on an album!!! 💕💕

[@tonygard1424]

Your prayers have been answered. New album 25/03/22

[@HearturMind]

They may still be touring too. I was lucky enough to see them at the Birchmere recently. SO GOOD

[@AdrenochromeFAL]

Brought me to tears.. Of all the Bowie tributes I've heard since his passing, This is at the top...!

[@arneemilbredland2339]

Hits me straight in my heart. Margo & The Band fully understands David Bowies emotions here. Bowie would certainly approve this version. Thanks.

[@daisycutter9185]

Lol..we got a whole lot more than FIVE years....5 by 5 we got a whole lot more...don't let them steal it from you🚮

[@peterlocke1277]

try the song he sang about his own impending death Lazuras

[@arneemilbredland2339]

[@phillipanderson7398]

One of those female singers who close their eyes when they sing.

[@ameaba2012]

Bowie is not easy - wonderful emotional version - bravo

[@Citizen2228]

Margo! Just woke up and you made me tremble, tears in my eyes, listening to you and staring out on the quiet farm dawn.

[@richardlefaive1944]

Margo ages like fine wine. One of the best renditions of this song out there.

[@moonlitme]

just found this....it's giving me chills

[@claychapple1703]

Wow, these guys did this magnificent song proud. I loved it and I'm sure Bowie would too.

[@phantomleap]

man, she nailed it. same for the band.

[@bigfefu]

thank you cowboy junkies, since 1998 you guys are part of my life, greetings from argentina. margo, your voice is a treasure

[@mitchellkezin7539]

Its SOOOO good to hear this band again !!!

[@larrybrock7931]

Wow! What a great rendition of Bowie's song. It makes my heart ache.

[@martinpepperell8424]

Never hears of Cowboy Junkies. Big Bowie fan. This rocks. Thank you. Dissapears into the Cowboy Junkies collection...

[@paradisedriveofmarin]

Hope you’ve heard their Sweet Jane. If not, what a treat, and how different from the original.

[@Citizen2228]

Truly stunning

Ziggy Stardust lives on. R&R lives on.

[@monicariosthehandsomemonsters]

My hair stood on end!. Great performance. Muchas gracias

[@the3rdnerm644]

what an intense interpretation of a great song. wow!

[@stevejackson8094]

Brilliant cover. The passion! This is going to be watched over and over.

[@rainerfassbinder2827]

You are quite right! I've listened to it hundreds of times!

[@rainerfassbinder2827]

And I already keep on...

[@thomashermann2785]

Margo is simply amazing! Is there any music the Cowboy Junkies can’t cover well? I think not

[@manyjoeysinramland7747]

no

[@ronaldzwicker5537]

Margo is one of the greatest rock singers of her generation. I've even told her so & also added that I wished "more people realized that." Her reply: "So do I."

[@captainsensible298]

beautiful, Mr Jones would be very happy that you should remember him in this way

[@Wm.]

I've watched this about 25 times now. Stuck in my head since it went up 7 weeks ago. It belongs on an album if you can get the releases. Compelling in the extreme.

[@michaeltimmins6754]

Thank you..please share it around...lots more to come.

[@Wm.]

+Michael Timmins just realized a CJ album of lamenting, ponderous covers, like this one, would be HUGE. You're better now, and bolder than ever. An honest, open-souled, tribute could fill today's hole in song. (I love your personal creations more, but the "fifth member" covers provide adds another dimension, as you know well, and could reach a wider audience.) Your legacy to the Mainstream consists of such, so rather than fight your strengths, just embrace them. Your real fans will still support you unwaveringly, and your kids will go to nice colleges. ;)

[@Wishesfeb29]

Excellent... of course. Thanks for sharing this.

[@billvallier9214]

That gave me chills.

[@auldrockah]

Simply stunning.

[@daleeloph7759]

was scrolling down and found this and said to myself,Self,Margot singing five years might actually be pretty cool.I was not disappointed!

[@vigilant456]

Damn, fantastic

[@burns114]

Bowie saw everything.

[@patthewoodboy]

Love this ... its a song i often sing in my head

[@blackcrow7049]

Margot Timmins , Cowboy Junkies are so special doing covers . I'm a junkie music too ... I hope no risk overdose .

[@seankennedy4378]

Margo is one of the greatest vocalists ever - pure magic

[@MarcavandenBroek]

Prachtig gedaan! Bowie waardig :-)

A brilliant song done brilliantly . Hats off!

Amazingly beautiful cover! Thank you.

[@Tonetwisters]

LOVE that little electrified Gibson mandolin, out of the 1959 catalog!

[@sherishearer1985]

The man's a magician with it. The sounds he squeezes out of that is truly amazing

[@dcdolson]

I'm crying...

[@richardlefaive1944]

If you ever have an oppo to see this band live, take it. Theybare super tight and Margo's voice just gets better with age. She's stunning and her stage manner, while humble, is somehow very compelling.

[@markusfeichter6246]

super cool .. wunderbar! Great canadiens!

[@americanpancakelive]

Holy FUCK-- this song, in particular, is Bowie personified and I hate ever cover I have found but this is masterful, sung with so much passion.

[@StacyLukasavitz]

Margo looks fantastic having gone silver and I'm considering doing the same. Wow.

[@KrisJYVerdonck]

Margot, I want to marry you and your voice

[@keithbill310]

Sounds good...

[@fabriziogoina365]

great cover

[@kevinurban1963]

THATS ALL WE GOTT

[@scottcheely7553]

This woman could sing the telephone book and move me!

[@Bosscat86]

This is brilliant. Interestingly David Bowie sings in an English accent. Many British singers actually sing in an American accent. This version is ironically better as it’s American.

[@grantlee1959]

Margo has a beautiful voice.

[@maldonboy1]

This is better than Duran Duran's cover... Next stop Placebo...

[@Mgir412]

très belle interprétation !

[@LuckyNMaja]

I really like the video for the studio version, but I LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE. Bravo!

[@kathleencorydon3572]

Saw them last night! Her voice just keeps getting better!

[@richardlefaive1944]

I've realized .... there are simply no words to express how good this is.

[@jmrcl62]

Encore une preuve que les Canadiens (je n'en fais pas partie) ont un don particulier pour le chant et la musique. La meilleure reprise de cette superbe chanson. Bravo

[@carlrobert1349]

It is what you said at you spent in the church in Vindeln, I came 2014 I never felt at I was welcome. When I'm still here for I love you.

Not as good as the Duran Duran version but still great

[@clayrowden3916]

So very good. So true, deep and clean.

[@liamhogan1405]

Between this, the original, and Camille O'sullivan's version, I'm torn to pick a favorite!

[@alfonsogarcia5777]

Known them since '96, still as great in '18 !

[@ismaelsm1]

Como explicar margo timmins? Como definir essa mulher? Como? Não tenho palavras

[@RockingJamboree]

It’s such a dark, sad, funny, and prescient song! What would Bowie have thought about a “Young Dude” like Greta Thunberg? What would their conversation be like? Five Years, that’s all we’ve got.

[@richardlefaive1944]

I suspect Bowie would b smart enough not to bother...

[@scratchy45]

"These children that you spit on, as they try to change their world"

[@RockingJamboree]

@@richardlefaive1944, then I shan't bother you anymore!

[@yodsapholwonglertwit9699]

absolutely amazing!

[@martymountebank5995]

Why are the band drowning out her voice!

[@ednarodriguesdossantossant2408]

Mais uma bela interpretação dessa banda maravilhosa. A vocalista é uma diva e o tempo só passa para quem não sabe cantar e interpretar

The only problem with this, is this gorgeous woman's gorgeous voice ISN'T LOUD ENOUGH!! Otherwise ... GOOD GRIEF this is good!!

Merci 🎤❤️❤️❤️

[@mugsmahoney]

....and Margo Timmins just gets cooler and cooler with time.... ... and this is one of my fave Bowie tunes... but I actually like this version better. And thats just because she sings (and the rest of the band plays) with such conviction, perhaps b/c the relevance of the earth dying in five years is even more poignant now then ever before.....

[@joseplutonlunadeandromeda4194]

Carajo, que hermoso quedo!!!!! 😭❤️

[@toninnoin]

Beautiful version & Thanx for not changing the words. Why have Duran Duran changed it to "a queen threw up"? Is it so they get played on the radio?

[@maxmichaelhatling]

No other songs is as recognizable as this Drumming intro. It's what I love about Flashbacks and backwards time travel. H e l l o Boomers. Hee hee. Right? It's all coming true. First Duchamp then Bowie and now.... on of the KZbinrs... right? Lol

She's so ambitious covers Lou Reed Neil Young Elvis now Bowie.
