He is my favorite as well. Fortunate to have seen him twice. Miss him dearly to this day.

[@jkirtleyheacting]

Stunning song. x

[@brianwalsh3091]

This was probably never played on the radio, yet is one of my favorite top 5 Bowie songs. The original recording, but he re-recorded it for Heathen and I think he realized what an incredible track it is. This version is gorgeous too.

David Bowie forever ! ♥️🎶♥️🎵♥️🎼♥️

[@jeanstrickland2445]

Bowie has a very unique voice. It seems much deeper in this song.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

It gets deeper ..................later until the end ....much like Leonard Cohen :)

At first listen I agree with Dominika and for the same reason she explained. He can't see the road, then he can't see the bridge, then he can't see the water. It's a suicide song and the saddest line is "And the world if full of life, Full of folk who don't know me, And they walk in twos or threes or more" He feels isolated yet he can see connections all around.

The song is about a scholar who spent all his life working, and studying, and writing academic essays and now he discovers that he has no real life. He has no friends, he doesn't even know how to make friends and how to connect to people, he has no family and, in time, his work will be forgotten as well (because there are actually very few scholars and researchers who really make a great discovery in their lives and make a mark and a name in their field of work). Yes, it seems that, in the end, the character jumps in the river . Maybe you cannot relate to this character and to his story, and you are fortunate for that, but I work in a higher education institution and I am telling you that there are many of my older colleagues who are exactly in this situation: alone, awkward in society, with no family of their own, no close relatives. Their life's work is made up of many academic papers which are not exactly groundbreaking and of minor discoveries. They spent all their life "in education", but they never had that breakthrough to make them famous and "immortal", so they will be forgotten or they are already forgotten by everyone when they retire. It is a tragedy for them when they retire because there is nothing and no one to go to at home. It is a very sad reality and David Bowie captures it very well here.

[@ellenbakker-w8x]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Indeed a little sad. My suggestion here down below wil make you happy again. Thank you for this great reaction.

[@dalemcmillan7231]

LOVED David Bowie!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@brucedillinger9448]

I love him still. Will forever.

[@davidcopson5800]

A compassionate reaction. You are always interested in the music. This is from the album 'Toy', released about 20 years after it was recorded around 2021. The song though is very much older than that.

[@sirmarmalade]

Great choice, one of Bowie's lesser known masterpieces. One he liked so much he re-recorded it 30 years later. A brilliant revocation of how small, everyday things become larger through the mask of depression.

[@antoniocarlin5026]

This is One of the bonus tracks from HEATHEN great álbum... Jordan Ruddess from Dream Theater plays keyboards and Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel - King Crimson) plays bass here! ❤❤

[@troywilliams2777]

Love it

[@brucedillinger9448]

David Bowie... ♥

[@richardkeep8651]

Never heard this before, I love it

[@davidcopson5800]

It's on the 'Toy' album, which was released about 20 years after it was recorded.

[@DominiqueVanheusden]

@@davidcopson5800This version but the original version is on “ Space Oddity”.

[@davidcopson5800]

@@DominiqueVanheusden Issued from where? It's not on my copy of Space Oddity.

[@DominiqueVanheusden]

@@davidcopson5800 It’s on the Space Oddity (2019 mix), not on the original album. It’s even on Spotify,

[@davidcopson5800]

@@DominiqueVanheusden Well, at my age, I'm going to have the original album rather than something that was released five years ago.

[@michaelz9892]

Beautiful. I don't think the song is depressing- just an exploration of the feelings of depression.

[@littlemouse7066]

This is a new version (published in 2021 and recorded in the year 2000) of a song he published in 1970 so the lyrics are from that period when he wasn't famous. I don't know who suggested this song but there are way more important and great songs in his discography to listen to. Try Sweet Thing from 1974 or Aladin Sane from 1973 or Golden Years from 1976 or Heroes from 1977 for instance. If you are more adventurous you can try Look back in anger (1979) you could also react to Life on Mars (1971) the version in studio that Dominika probably already knows or even better the version live from the 1983 Serious Moonlight tour which is rarely reacted to but it's great.

[@JosephMan485]

Yeah, I'd have loved to have heard the early version, but this is great, too.

[@JosephMan485]

David Bowie was beginning to accept his baritone in this version. It's as good as the original for me.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

Quite simply a musical genius for all time........nobody has more sides to his music ........maybe Neil Young ?????

[@jimbocurtain]

A reworking of a B-side from 1970. Check that version out as the performance is more personal.

[@ellenbakker-w8x]

SUGGESTION: ALIZEE - MOI LOLITA - LIVE - (HQ) 141 mln views/15 years ago. A female singer with a BANGER song.

[@brrryan2908]

A lot of his songs (like this one) are interesting and deep, but I'd chose SLOW BURN as s song for more frequent listening. :)

[@historyhunter3332]

I enjoyed your reaction, but can't say that I have heard this song before . Here is a song from 1969 , that will never be heard by bands from now a days , It will make you feel good. By Crosby , Stills ,Nash and Young. Carry on kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIGTh3V4bKeCbJY I hate to see you guys sad

[@Sirknight47]

David Bowie is one of my all time favorite singers etc. having said that this song would surly not be on my play list. It feels like he's depressed or the person in the song is. I think of depression like playing with a poisons snake. If you found one in your house you would get rid of it as soon as possible. So I don't like to play with or keep depressing songs around me, movies, books, etc. everyone has their own ideas about things.
