The Thin White Duke is one of Bowie’s best incarnations. It’s a great album from start to finish.

[@dannygriffith6185]

The beginning " sound effect" is suppose to represent a distant train getting closer to the station ( Station to station ).

[@stephenqualtrough7322]

Tvc-15 is another great track from this album

[@SpaceCattttt]

A masterpiece. One of Bowie's finest.

“Such is the stuff from which dreams are woven” is a reference to , or a paraphrase of, Shakespeare’s

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

Station to Station bridged the gap between Bowie’s “plastic soul” and his art-rock Berlin period. It's the best of both worlds.

[@ArmandoMPR]

This is my favorite Bowie track ever.

[@janhanchenmichelsen2627]

A magnificent album. Followed by Low, Heroes, to some extent Lodger, and then Scary Monsters. These few years Bowie was making eternal music.

The intro is a flanged noise guitar as "train" - hence,

[@Lechuque]

The live version is a beast.

[@windyeye]

This song makes me cry just for its sheer perfection

[@hijikaelemenope3127]

Thank you so much for reacting to this song, probably my favorite one from Bowie.

[@alanglover9117]

The whole vibe is train. A real heavy train that grinds into movement and gradually accelerates. What a start to an album!

Station to Station, classic song, classic album. One of my favorite Bowie albums, not a clunker on it. In this album, Bowie used the thin white duke personna to express a feeling of cold detachment. At the time, Bowie was on a cocaine bing and said after he barely remembered the production. Being awake days at a time, he read books on the Kabbal and Christianity. Station to station actually refers to Christ's stations of the cross. At the suggestion of Jimmy Page, Bowie also read about Aleister Crowly, so the album was full of references to Christianity and the occult. Very high times.

The intro was the sound of a steam train (station to station). Bowie was living in LA & really in a bad way with drugs at this time. Shortly after he escaped back to Europe, Berlin, with his mate Iggy Pop, both with the plan to clean themselves up, which they did. The great Berlin trilogy followed & for Pop "The Idiot" & "Lust for Life", two great albums.

If you love the keys just listen to Aladdin Sane, just the most awesome piano ever.

You had to be there in 1976 at this tour....Bowie striding out dressed in black and white and using only white lights.... after that intro with the guitar. That is train sound Bowie is going for. Magnificent album with a very tight band -- especially the bass and drums throughout.

[@Terri6868]

Bowie is my favorite solo artist. He was always over the top. ❤️

[@antarcticorb9197]

Can't wait for Stay from the same album!

Thank you for your excellent analysis of a track that hit me between the eyes when I first heard it in 1976. Three of us were playing cards and shooting the breeze and listened to the first half of the album Station to Station - and we all said: "what just happened there?" And immediately listened to that side of the album again (a very rare occurrence believe you me). That tempo change in the middle of Station to Station is totally unexpected. And yes, the opening sounds are of a steam train engine - how else to travel from station to station?
