David Bowie - The Making of the 'Hours' Album

[@sebastian_reu9220]

Outside, Earthling and Hours is such an interesting time in Bowie's life. You can feel how he is enjoying the creative work on this records.❤️❤️🥰

I could listen to his speaking voice all day long...beautiful. Miss you so much David. 💔

I was so excited for Hours. I was 17 and a senior in high school. I listened to the absolute crap out of it. Unfortunately around the same time it came out I had my first serious relationship, and of course I got my heart broken soon after. It was hard for me to listen to Hours after that. 20+ years later I can finally listen to it again. Hot damn do I miss Mr. Bowie. His music has been such a big part of my life. His death still hits me like a ton of bricks.

[@Sunshine-dg7nt]

I remember my husband waking me up with the news of his death. Scared the hell out of me. I ran to the television and cried my eyes out.

[@adamgrossman7803]

same here, same age too... were u a bit surprised at how mellow the first single was and a lot of the album was compared to his Earthling era?

[@Musicgirl82]

@@adamgrossman7803 I don't remember being surprised. I was ready for anything he'd share. 😉

[@adamgrossman7803]

@@Musicgirl82 oh so was I.... I was ready for anything of course, but I just didnt expect something like Thursdays Child when it first came out. It was the first time I feel in his career where he went back to his more acoustic roots if you know what I mean. It was stripped and lacked the production of most of his 90s work.... I just remember being shocked by it at the time :)

[@Rebel1972x]

Awww!

[@punkat13]

I wish 'Hours' got the recognition it deserves. It's criminally underrated, and it hurts to see how it's usually placed so low on most of his album tier lists.

[@stephenlynch5143]

Beautifully put said

[@torresalex]

Seven is great

[@juliohernanz5871]

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one. "Hours" is one of my favourite Bowie albums and "Seven" is the peak. Well sung, smooth rythm leaded by acoustic guitars that take back Ziggy's era. And "Something In The Air" is an intense love/not love-anymore song.

[@mariamaj4585]

WE MISS YOU BOWIE

[@harwoodparry2869]

So wonderful to see David so relaxed and enjoying the process of breathing life into what was and is a great album.

[@chrimagrex]

7 ways to live my life or 7 days to die. That says so much. Tomorrow is'nt promised, but we decide what our live is about and who we are as long as we live on this planet. Thank you David for being not only a great musician but also such a great melancholic philosophic. You were a big thinker and you had such a strong positive attitude. Let's celebrate Bowie 75!

[@MrKjelder1]

An absolute treat being 'invited' into and given a glimpse of the creative process of his genius. 💖

[@ImHisMrs77]

Ugh, come back David! We need you!

[@quickflash2studios232]

My gosh the guy they got to play young Bowie in Thursday’s Child looks so much like him! He looks so much more like him in this than he did in the video in my opinion.

[@lisalie1445]

Miss YOU So Much … 💓💓💓 from Tokyo 🗼🇯🇵🍀🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@LoKoSFermincho]

I'm kinda sad that there was no mention of "Something In The Air" That is one of my all time favorite David Bowie songs, there's something so beautifully haunting about it. Most of David's 90's work resonates with me strongly to this day, even more so than his earlier stuff. Rest in peace you magnificent musical genius!

[@ivankaramasov]

I agree. Actually, I don't like Hours much, but Something in the Air is brilliant.

[@thelightdreams]

Despite buying the album on the day it came out, I have never seen this. What an utter joy to watch. Oh, god, I miss David. More like this please!

[@TheFairway8]

I’ve always thought this is one of Bowie’s best of his ‘newer’ material a great album and Reeves Gabriel’s playing is excellent. A couple of the tracks appeared in the game Nomad Soul where a computer generated Bowie actually appears singing in the game

[@kimm5483]

Hello all ⚡Bowie ⚡Fans, you have great taste, happy listening to our beautiful David 💛

[@icanseeformiles9387]

[@marswmnwhoever2188]

Such a beautiful human being. It radiates all the class, etiquette and every other good thing he was and in how he lived his life!

[@crypttonite]

He radiates RULING CLASS & remains alive fool. Tell me when these new vids to promote old tunes were produced? Tell me that is not DB now or last year. He showed the world what he was up to on his last release, he literally put his stage persona back into the wardrobe. The non professional person lives on.

[@Wren1]

Back when this was released, I had read that Quantic Dream, the developers of the video game "Omikron: The Nomad Soul" (which featured voice acting by David Bowie, along with his likeness and that of Iman) had set up a meeting with David to obtain his permission to use some of his old music for the game. David Bowie allegedly said something to the effect of :"Why use old music? I'll write new music for the game." and the 'hours...' album was born. The song "New Angels of Promise" even had alternate lyrics for the game which substituted "Omikron" in place of "suspicious minds". Most of the other songs from the album (except for "Brilliant Adventure", I believe) could be enjoyed via virtual concerts at clubs throughout the game world.

[@TheFairway8]

That’s right I quite enjoyed that game at the time I think it actually had an adult rating

[@leoshiin9712]

god knows how i want a remake of omikron 😭😭

[@heathernks8]

I *LOVE* "Thursday's Child" so much, but it took me aging into my mid-40s to truly appreciate this album. I used to adore "David Live", but as I near age 50, I find peace, quiet, and ballads more my speed. This is a masterpiece!!👏👏👏

[@Sunshine-dg7nt]

Hours and Heathen are my favorites.

[@theneonchimpchannel9095]

Hours is a great record, lots of great songs on it. "New Angels Of Promise" is a personal favourite. The whole album though has this sort of dark moodiness to it that really struck a chord with me when I first heard it.

[@elipsage2194]

Thank you David Bowie.

[@mistersurrealist]

This is the album that introduced me to Bowie when I was 13 years old (1999). Wow, it just hit me (hard) that 2024 marks the 25th anniversary of "Hours". R.I.P. David, thank you for making my teens such a magical time.

[@PogieJoe]

Always so nice to see his face again.

[@johannpopper1493]

In retrospect, nobody with any sense fails to recognize that Bowie was always running decades ahead of his time. It's incredible to watch just that magic happening here in this minidoc. He had a remarkable talent for anticipating what'd be bleeding edge when other artists were locked into a particular era. There would be nothing out of place if you told me this was 2022. I'd even think BowieNet was a vaporwave throwback because it's as radically amazing an idea now as it was then, and certainly predated the much more disappointingly centralized digital revolution that would actually occur a decade later.

[@stephenfermoyle4578]

This album was special, and it went all over the place. It was such an intrinsic part of the game "Nomad Soul" as well, and that was cool, seeing David and Iman inside my computer.

The Pretty Things are Going to Hell is a fave, reminds me of Tin Machine's heavier songs. If anyone can recommend other Bowie tracks that are that heavy rock style, I'm all ears.

[@davidnewman690]

Would be interesting to hear his earlier versions of these songs. Would have also loved to have seen the album stripped back even more. Reeves was definitely past his use by date by this time.

[@rapabsinthe786]

There were three songs meant for inclusion which retains more of Reeves' dry, more metallic sound. Kind of agree when he says that Bowie shouldn't've went behind his back with Plati and remixed it. The demos you can find is why a lot of fans call it his "shoegaze album". Bit less delay, bit less compression, more spatial bliss.

[@tipsybass7060]

Ugh he is such a beautiful man. Iman is the most blessed woman to have shared a life with him. My favorite couple in all of history. True love.

The french CD edition had an extra cardboard cover with the normal jewel box CD inside + an extra CD Rom with the song "We All Go Through", a short making of film of 11:36 minutes and a set of photos by F.W Ockenfels III. I own it but unfortunately the data format is too old and can't be read by a modern computer

HOURs is front and foremost on my list of his best. Thanks for this video! Thursdays Child is just so special and Seven, all of it. I feel it deep in my soul. Dark and melancholy which I like but also very simple and sung with conviction and the 12 string .... makes it so special. 💔
