One of the great things about Bowie is you never knew what to expect with each new album (other than it would be great). Each album had a theme and genre of it's own, but Bowie would reinvent himself for each album (and for each movie role).

[@James-hd6ez]

I Agree his work between 1970 -1980 was absolutely amazing! The only other artist who compared for me in that decade was Neil Young, but Bowie did in the 70s what the Beatles did in the sixties, and of course he was good mates with Lennon! RIP John and David.

This was David's glam rock era and nobody did it better. You would have to listen to the Ziggy Stardust album to get the concept of the song. Ziggy Stardust was just one of the characters he created during his career. For me he'll always be the Starman in the sky now.🌟

Pretty much grew up with Bowie, was thirteen-fourteen when Ziggy Stardust came out and saw him a couple times - 1978 and 1983 - and the man was a legend. His death hit hard because he did not make it well known he was fighting cancer and had just released a new album a few days before he died in 2016. I still miss the man.

[@elisebarthalow6075]

I have loved the artist called David Bowie since about 1974. His catalogue is enormous - one of my favorites which wasn't a hit was "Sorrow". Simply beautiful. He had the sweetest, wittiest personality and I miss his smile.

[@honorsilverthorne7227]

And that last album, "Blackstar", gets so deep into lyrics about death. He was the only one who knew he was dying besides a few others when he made that album. After his death, if you go back and watch/listen to those two main videos/songs off that album, they hit you in a whole new way. Very deep & dark, from a man facing his own mortality. 🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚

[@richarddefortuna2252]

This is part of the themed "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" album. There's a loose story involved whereby Ziggy is an actual alien from space - the Starman - who lands on Earth and becomes a rock star named Ziggy Stardust. Very loose "story," for sure, but that's the meaning/background, in any event.

[@Homebrew58]

David Bowie performed this song in July of 1972 on a BBC television show in England called Top of the Pops. For many, it was their first introduction to David or for those who knew him it was their first introduction to the character Ziggy Stardust. It was the opening shot of an explosion of uniqueness and creativity that continued until his demise in 2016.

[@cheriremily9360]

Starman is part of the Ziggy Stardust phase and is about an alien or aliens coming to earth during a time when the earth would be dead in 5 years. It's very dystopian. Diving into Bowie's catalog is like diving into the ocean or launching into space. I recommend All the Young Dudes which is a song he gave to Mott the Hoople but was written as part of the Ziggy Stardust album. Yes, Bowie is a genre unto himself, but like a great master artist in order to see the entire painting one must listen to the entire album. Diamond Dogs, Aladin Sane, and Station to Station are conceptual in that regard. He tried to remake himself with each album: Ziggy, Halloween Jack, The Thin White Duke, etc. I will be here forever if I keep going down this rabbit hole. Recommend: Lady Grinning Soul, Jean Genie, Oh, You Pretty Things. And so much more.

[@heathcornbeef]

And THAT STARMAN DEFINITELY DID BLOW OUR MIND'S i still haven't found mine

[@livingfilmmaker]

Bowie wrote one of the greatest songs ever recorded (on top of Under Pressure with Queen), called All the Young Dudes but he gave it to a band called Mott the Hoople. Their version is great, but I would check out either Bowie performing it at the Isle of Wight, or, when Bowie joined Ian Hunter, Mick Ronson, and Queen to perform it at the Concert for Life.

[@wpollock1]

Or, the David Live version which is my favorite!

[@helindove2237]

@livingfilmmaker I love that song! It's so nostalgic. Since you mentioned Queen: early in their careers the four men were very happy they could open for the well-known Mott The Hoople in the UK. Now everyone in the world from 5 to 105 knows Queen. And there will certainly be those who say Mott The who? That’s just the way it goes in show business I guess ;)

Thursday, 28 April is the 50th anniversary of the release of this song as a single.
