Lyrics
I've nothing much to offer
There's nothing much to take
I'm an absolute beginner
And I'm absolutely sane
As long as we're together
The rest can go to hell
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
With eyes completely open
But nervous all the same
If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean
Just like the films
There's no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true
Nothing much could happen
Nothing we can't shake
Oh we're absolute beginners
With nothing much at stake
As long as you're still smiling
There's nothing more I need
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
But if my love is your love
We're certain to succeed
If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Sail over heartaches
Just like the films
If there's reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true
About David Bowie:
David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, "Heroes,” Let's Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie at 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

I was the cinematographer on this video, as well as the film Absolute Beginners. Julien Temple, whom I met at the National Film and Television school directed the video and the film. It was a hectic time for us & I remain forever grateful to Julien for trusting his film school friend to shoot with him for more than 10 years. This is one of my favourite pieces of work - one of the rare opportunities I got to shoot black and white which I absolutely love: we went on to make "Jazzin for Blue Jean" with David who was the one of the greatest musicians and human beings I ever met back in those heady 80's days. Nice to see it immortalised on uTube with a decent copy of the original..

[@jhavajoe3792]

Totally amazing! Here we are in 2023 and the film holds its own- solidly. That Zebra Lady was perfect. The film Noir look still has its magic and of course the tune! You did a terrific job.

Back in 1985 I was staying in a youth hostel in London near where the cafe that is used starting at 3:16 of the video. I just happened to go out for a night walk and saw some bright lights near the cafe and David Bowie and the Zebra lady were working on the video. Between takes he came over to a few of us and talked for a few minutes. He was a very cool guy. When the director called him over he said "Sorry guys, I've got to go". He gave me a couple of autographs. I have old slide photos somewhere that I took while the video was being made. It was a very cool experience and now a nice memory.

[@dars5229]

Oh, absolutely. There's a whole generation who were introduced to Bowie in the 80s, but the decade was actually the most creatively stagnant part of his career (That's not meant as an insult. I've long said Bowie at his worst is still better than the rest at their best.) But between the drugs and making songs for an audience he couldn't really read, his creativity kind of atrophied. And when the 90s came, he either would have died or retired. But fortunately for him (and us) he met Iman. He got clean for her, and she encouraged him to experiment again, which led to a career renaissance. I think it's kinda funny how he cried when he wrote this, because it was almost kind of a prophecy about Iman. Imagine pouring you heart and soul into a love song about someone you think doesn't exist... and then meeting them.

My best friend Dean. We were about 18 and 19 and we went to the pictures in Manchester to see this film. WE WERE ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS.

[@wildbill5670]

God do I ever miss him. I'm in my late 60's now. Seen him many times live, have over 40 of his LP's and have been a huge fan since 71. Every new record I was there at the record store (young ones miss that, flipping through thousands of vinyl records while others played over the speakers in the store, something that should have gone away) the day the new one came out right up to "Black Star". Thank you David for making a part of my life so wonderful. I hope the angels soar over your heart and comfort you now.

Such a beautiful song, R. I. P starman!

[@MansonXdrums]

I started to listen Bowie when I was in hospital, one motnh after I woke up from koma. Waiting for other operations. He gived me such energy to live and energy to recovery. I moved much as I could listening his songs.

[@desperatemohammedantheworl5833]

Though I was vaguely familiar with my Dad's copies of Ziggy and Aladdin I first properly discovered Bowie when I was hospitalized as a teen. I was bed ridden and my sister brought me her walkman and a selection of mine and her tapes. Among them was her copy of ChangesBowie and on first playing I fell in love with nearly ever song, especially John I'm Only Dancing, Young Americans, Fashion and Blue Jean. He's been a favourite ever since.

[@RoisinElektra]

Always the best to both of you 🍀🍀🍀☀

[@bunteseinhorn7523]

Last summer, he gived me also energy in my live. I felt like I was in a labyrinth last year. One night I saw his labyrinth movie and fell in love. His soul is old and he lived very consciously. He always fought with this world and found his way. Sometimes I feel his spirit next to me!

[@ayeletmazal3510]

[@sandratansley8764]

I agree. This song shows the range he has and he is by far the best ever. His attitude toward life his family and how kind he is and fair. Treats his band like family. Wish more people were like him. He overcame many obstacles ans is absolutely brilliant

[@sandratansley8764]

To me david bowie is still with us. His humorous interviews his beautiful songs his vocabulary phenomenal. He has so many interests. Movies sculpting painting songwriting writing books. How much more talented can one human being be. He connected with his audience and on stage he made you feel like he was singing to you. When talks about Iman and his baby girl he lights up like Broadway. What a horrible illness to die from. He is the only person I know that can smoke a cigarette and make it so sexy. Class act all the way. I hope to see you in the next life david

Bowie was the definition of kool

[@user-ye4zj9nn8n]

I was the 23 year old American singer walking about London when this came out having been escorted across the English Channel by an Absolutely Gorgeous boy named Paddy Bowes as I left France for England. We shared a once in a lifetime toast of a Bitter Lime. I love you to this day Paddy Bowes.. Tod.... a doll from New Zealand you were and are...Always and forever.

I do too. There's something so beautifully melancholy about the melody; it gets me right in the heart every time.

Makes me sad also when I hear his music knowing he's no longer with us, it's the same with Donna Summer. 💖💖💖💖

As a kid, I've cried when I've heard this song for the first time. I'll never forget that feeling, inexpiable outburst of emotions with goosebumps and tears... when I actually felt the powerful magic and impact of music, enchanted by this melody, like it was spoken in universal language - although I didn't understand a single word...

[@sneer73]

I was 20 when the song came up. Just finished army, having the life in front of me. Today, after 34 years, yes, I’ve got tears in my eyes, I guess because I’m still an absolute beginner.

I also remember a lot of music played around me in the 80s, I have tapes from 1986 of me at 2 years old singing them in gibberish XD You're right, they evoke enormous nostalgia, like for example that Lionel Richie song "Hello", I remember they were always playing that back then.
