Hey all, I recorded this track a few hours ago in my music school, late on a sunny Sunday afternoon here in Melbourne, Australia. It’s always a really private moment playing and recording this piano in a room by myself, but I’m always curious to hear what people are doing when listening to these tracks. Where are you you listening to this music? How are you listening to it? (On your phone/device, computer, bluetooth speaker, headphones, studio monitors, etc.?) Are you listening by yourself or with someone? What time of day is it? Where on Earth are you? This evening I received an email from a fan in Iran, who sent me a photo of a sunset whilst travelling on a train - it totally made my night. If you have a spare moment, I’d really appreciate it if you sent me a photo of what you see when you’re listening to this music. I don’t care where it is or what you’re doing - I’m just a super visual person and it totally blows my mind every time I receive an image from someone on this pale blue dot. I’m also currently finalising licences to release these tracks on all streaming platforms and digital stores. Shouldn’t be too far off and will hopefully give people the opportunity to take this music on the go, instead of streaming exclusively from the Tube. Thanks for watching/listening/reading! Hit me up - hello [at] joshcohenmusic.com JC x

[@TheMisterEnderman]

You are genuinely the nicest person on youtube to ever exist! I don't think that anybody else on this platform cares so much about their fanbase as you. It's an honor to listen to your playing, listening to your private and intimate moments with music. You have the passion and the talent that everyone is striving for, and I really really respect that you are sharing all of it! Personally, I love listening to your music in the evening, when i'm relaxed enough. If I'd listen to your music when stressed or agitated, I would destroy your music, so I don't do that. I would LOVE to see more Pink Floyd, for example my favorite song Shine on you crazy Diamond! That's the kind of music that took me through my darkest times, and it's still my favorite! Thanks for providing great music to us! Hope you have a nice day!

[@LucioMaximo]

Listen at home(China) on pc (headphones) not time specific whilst working, usually sing along! Your work is phenomenal as a backing track =). It's nice to relax to as well in the back ground.

[@Crakinator]

This song is goddamn amazing on piano for some reason.

[@モファピエトロ]

Because this song is Amazing in everyway you play it, because its David Bowie

[@matthewgardner4545]

Such a beautiful song. I remember I only really listened to bowie's music after his death because of the incredible sadness the fans had. You done the song a huge solid on that and reminded me of how amazing it is. Keep up all the fantastic work. All the best man

[@joshcohenmusic]

Thanks very much, Matthew. Glad you enjoyed the track. Thanks for watching!

[@oa2794]

That's exactly how I first heard this song, in December 2017, when I really focused on David Bowie's music. I'm only a freshman right now, and I'm sad I didn't listen sooner and consider myself a fan before his passing, but my older brother (who had always been a fan) told me he played "space oddity" for me when I was little, maybe younger than 3, and he said I loved it, so I guess I have always loved his music ❤

[@skidpie]

it still hurts

[@bernardcannell2922]

What a song and sir a version that does great justice to Bowie

[@joshcohenmusic]

Thanks, Bernard ✌️

[@maxsalisbury1654]

Amazing. I am in Oxford, UK, listening to this alone on my laptop whilst recovering from a particularly heavy night. This music cures even the most vicious and unrelenting of hangovers. Thank you.

[@joshcohenmusic]

You're welcome, Max. Hope it made your day that little bit less dusty ✌️

[@Adam-tg7qp]

This is absolute perfection, the crisp and sharp sound of the grand piano is really heavenly :'D

[@boxcarraecer]

This whole thing is perfect

[@Memnoch_the_Devil]

KZbin informs me josh cohen has a new cover out and it's one of my favorite Bowie songs!! (Fell in love with it because of that Bill Murray scene in Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou) What a great way to wake up.

[@airmanfair]

Same, I love that movie. Seu Jorge is a wonderful musician.

[@Memnoch_the_Devil]

David Fair dude, right?? I love that they actually produced a cd just of his acoustic Bowie covers, aside from the original soundtrack. I got that cd, fell in love with it. Then I started learning Rebel, Rebel in Portuguese. To this day I still don't know most of the words in English! (If you really are a fan of Seu Jorge, check out his work in City of God)

[@joshcohenmusic]

Thanks for listening and supporting the channel as always, Tyler ✌️

[@katiecupkate0800]

Greetings from SoCal Josh, This is like the awesomest thing I’ve ever heard. Life on Mars is one of my favorite songs of all time. Your cover absolutely captures its essence, and I never get tired of listening to it. I see you’ve already addressed questions/concerns regarding sheet music so I’ll just say that I concur with those requesting sheet music:) If I may make a suggestion: Changes by David Bowie. I feel like if there’s anyone who can do this song justice…

[@Clicker3]

Stunning

[@scottdonahue7813]

What a fucking masterpiece. The chord progression has so many surprises.
