@@danielthomassladeslade7679 Hello again Daniel... You should think about holding on to it for another 6 to 7 million years. I'm guessing by then the intergalactic economy will have stabilized. At that point you should have enough souls to invest in another different galaxy. Hope you and your family are well, best of luck!!

He was incredible, great rapore with the audience. His live shows are on video/streamable. Turn out the light, put it on your tv and drink a glass of wine. He translates well on screen.

[@strangerstreet6061]

Amazing Bowie just makes it looks so easy, which it's not, and the talent on the stage is out of this world, first time I saw this on the TV 20 years ago I couldn't take my eyes off it,almost like i was in a trance and some of his songs he played were my favorite of his

It’s been one of Bowie’s indelible qualities. And particularly in this song is what sets it apart from Nirvana’s darker version, not that Nirvana’s version is any less better. Both versions I love and appreciate it so much.

Lyrics We passed upon the stair We spoke of was and when Although I wasn't there He said I was his friend Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes, "I thought you died alone A long long time ago" Oh no, not me I never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world I laughed and shook his hand And made my way back home I searched for form and land For years and years I roamed I gazed a gazely stare, at all the millions here We must have died alone A long long time ago Who knows? Not me We never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world Who knows? Not me We never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: David Bowie
