This song almost always makes me cry. You can feel the loneliness. I do miss his presence in this world. Artists like Bowie are fleetingly rare.

This is my favorite song by David, and I miss his influence on humanity. Now David is all knowing in the Universe. Thank You!

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Hi B. K. This was one of our most popular videos. We miss him too. Thanks for watching........................

Simple English Videos, So good to hear, and there are so many great songs out there but it's amazing how certain ones always stick with you. I wish you the very best in all that you pursue.

Yeah, just too bad it had to end in tragedy two times because people at the top were too stupid to listen to people about the tile on reentry and the temperature and it's effect on the shrinkage of the seal, and the resulting fuel leakage it would cause in the liquid booster rockets

This brilliant artist, this huge spirit, this dazzling showman par excellence; endowed with exceptional beauty and an elegance and bearing that cannot be taught, this genius of creativity, this bountiful talent, a natural and hilarious comic. This Prince who never lost the common touch.. . . this harmless and lovely man we all loved, David Bowie. A voice so unique and so fine it would evoke tears. Fare-thee-well in your far flight

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Well said!

[@JosephMinnella]

The opening to the liftoff is haunting,beautiful,eerie,lonely and foreboding.Only Bowie was capable of this atmospheric creation

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Indeed.

[@JosephMinnella]

Bowie was a genius.A man of great sense and spirit.Having listened to music for 70 years I believe artists of his caliber are very rare.The Starman lives forever. Jm
