Cosmic Dancer - Marc Bolan and T. Rex

A lot of his early acoustic stuff is well worth a listen. If you like this, then check out ‘A Beard of Stars’.

[@manfredmaier2565]

@@steves1460 A Beard of Stars is my favorite album by Marc. Under all his albums, it comes closest to a solo work (though there were contributions by Steve Took and, later on, by Mickey Finn and of course Tony Visconti). It has an absolutely mystic feel.

[@bubamaranovichok4901]

Hy bear family, Roberto is right, he was one of the greatest. And if he wouldn’t die, maybe we would enjoy even today his genius in poetry, and I’m just talking about poetry. The music with it just nonsense along with his singing and charm. Lol.

[@thebathuman]

This is how he started, too. He would walk into some little venue with Steve Took back in the days of Tyrannosaurus Rex, before it became T Rex, dressed like a couple of elvish princes .. they would sit cross-legged and play the most otherworldly sort of music .. and then disappear into the night.

[@garethmurtagh]

Wow! I didn’t think this song could be better than the album version with that beautiful string arrangement, but this is so personal! A true genius with his people!

[@atzengruber]

Reminds me of the gig in Nuremberg (Germany) about a year later ( I was 13 at the time and it was my very first concert), when the crowd yelled " Sit down, sit down" and Marc, with this unforgetable smile of his , replied " Stand up, stand up".

Thank my lucky stars that I was born in '63 and grew up when David, Marc, Stevie, Marvin and so many other amazing musicians were always at the top of the charts. Is it my impression or was there more variety?? Marc had a weekly TV show at teatime in the UK, I recall. 💗

[@ecrisisx]

It's just your perception because music is constantly evolving, you're just seeing it through the eyes of your formative years. It's pretty natural for that to happen.

[@thebohemian.]

That, that was superb. Marc Bolan was taken too soon, he predicted so many times throughout his words. Bless you Marc.

[@ob2249]

The bohemian Really where did he do that ? "metal guru is it you ?" " telegram sam you`re my main man" "wear a tall hat and a tattooed gown" " its fine to see your young face hiding neath the stallion I`m riding ! " "dug n re dug n re dug " classic literature lol

What a fantastic song this is. As I was born late 1963 I wasn't quite old enough to appreciate such talent first time round, so to speak, but I certainly do now, and I do so love to dance, however badly, and I do so love this song.

[@boboramone3015]

Is it strange to dance so soon? No it isn't! One of my favourite songs...

[@JAMAICADOCK]

Gifts from the gods, always coming with their risks. Marc is celebrating being gifted, but at the same time expressing its dark-side The loneliness and fear, of being unique. 'Is it strange' he keeps asking\/ as if he's trying to make sense of his strange existence. And that's what makes this a wonderful song, the questioning, the doubt, questioning creativity itself, a gift or a curse. Marc doesn't resolve that question, leaves it open - profound for a rock n roll song, bordering on poetry

[@karenc5175]

He knew his time here was not long . You know he was less than 1 mile from his home when the car left the road.

A few years ago I was walking around Barnes, where I'd never been before, and I saw some sort of shrine with flowers at the side of the road, I scrambled down a little slope and saw it was a memorial to Marc, the place where he died. David Bowie introduced me to his music, RIP Marc and David, and Lou Reed, the soundtrack to my teenage years

[@ebrena1]

He was just so sweet & had a softness about him that could ignite fire when he plays. I think Marc Bolan and Donovan had similar vocals. I loved him when he first began and have listened to his albums-CD's and now thanks to KZbin I listen to him a lot. Such a tragedy when he died. I saw him live in Victoria BC

I was dancing when I was twelve I was dancing when I was twelve I was dancing when I was out I was dancing when I was out I danced myself right out the womb I danced myself right out the womb Is it strange to dance so soon? I danced myself right out the womb I was dancing when I was eight I was dancing when I was eight Is it strange to dance so late? Is it strange to dance so late? I danced myself into the tomb I danced myself into the tomb Is it strange to dance so soon? I danced myself into the tomb Is it wrong to understand The fear that dwells inside a man? What's it like to be alone I liken it to a balloon I danced myself out of the womb I danced myself out of the womb Is it strange to dance so soon? I danced myself into the tomb But then again Once more I danced myself out of the womb I danced myself out of the womb Is it strange to dance so soon? I danced myself out of the womb

Nice one. Just a cpl of corrections. The line 'I was dancing when I was out' should be 'I was dancing when I was Aa-ahh' And 'What's it like to be alone' should be 'What's it like to be a loon' - as in 'lunatic'.

Maybe his most gorgeous number? It's a tragedy he isn't more well-known in the US. I wear my Marc Bolan t-shirt a couple days a week and people ask 'is that Janis Joplin?' etc. And I say, no, it's Marc Bolan, and if you don't know him, he's the man without whom David Bowie or Freddie Mercury would never have existed.
