A consummate musical chameleon, David Bowie created a career in the Sixties and Seventies that featured his many guises: folksinger, androgyne, alien, decadent, blue-eyed soul man, modern rock star-each one spawning a league of imitators. His late-Seventies collaborations with Brian Eno made Bowie one of the few older stars to be taken seriously by the new wave. In the Eighties, Let's Dance (#1, 1983), his entree into the mainstream, was followed by attempts to keep up with current trends. David Jones took up the saxophone at age 13, and when he left Bromley Technical High School (where a friend permanently paralyzed Jones' left pupil in a fight) to work as a commercial artist three years later, he had started playing in bands (the Konrads, the King Bees, David J More... (Submit New David Bowie Lyrics) (Submit New David Bowie Lyrics) Review about David Bowie Of all time! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Big Brother performed by David Bowie This song definitely highlights human nature and our desire for a leader, "someone to claim us". It made me a bit sad to google this song and get most of the hits for Kanye West. Now, Kanye's great and I'ma let him finish, but David Bowie had the best song of all time! Of all time! Ass-Backwards | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Life On Mars? performed by David Bowie You should be looking up this song because David Bowie is a genius, not because someone is singing his material on American Idol. American Idol is to music as McDonalds is to Hamburgers. Everyone loves to swallow it, but that's only because no one knows what a really good hamburger tastes like anymore. Haunting | Reviewer: Freya ------ About the song Within YOu performed by David Bowie This song, probably one of my favorites from Labyrinth. It's just...very beautiful and reasonating--to me. It has such a sad and haunting quuality to it in a nontradition sense...Really, really awesome. Foundling Songwriter | Reviewer: D Connelly ------ About the song Uncle Arthur performed by David Bowie This comes from a period where David Jones/Bowie was awakening to the idea that he may be somebody someday. Looking around for the inspiration, he applied the rule that the best knowledge comes reliably from close at hand. In this way he was revealing a snapshot of cosy sixties acceptability, something which wouldn't ruffle too many feathers and cast him in the same spotlight as Tommy Steel whilst adopting a "handful of songs" or "Pop goes the weazel" arrangement from his imagined "Gurney Slade" fixation. I think it's fair to say that it offers the same 'mindshot' he leaned on later with his more trenchent views on Space Oddity or later Man who sold the world, domestic discord and momentary loss of faculty, this time Uncle Arthur's unbreakable maternal bond. It gives us a clear chance to see where he came from without the psychic melodrama he would give us to review on his later sixties folk to seventies rock albums. The arrangement is a wonderful whimsy and the faux cockney vocals dreamy, it's very much a fans' collector piece and very charming in it's basicness. The lyrics very repressed yes but an excellent rythym is created fitting the subject's imagery and creates the sense of a time more innocent and a commentary on a life less complicated. No marks out of ten just It's at about 5 past 12 on Bowie's musical clock. SUNDAY & SLIP AWAY | Reviewer: Prince Selim Djem ------ About the song Sunday performed by David Bowie Probably David Bowie's bleakest songs to date. This is not composition; this is for real; this is Bowie feeling ill at ease in a world that he doesn't love any longer or in which he doesn't feel he belongs any longer. A depressed stranger in an anguishing and strange land. bowie song is genius....agreed | Reviewer: alisha ------ About the song The Bewlay Brothers performed by David Bowie I agree whole heartedly and did listen to it a few times as usual this morning. Had to find the lyrics this time to be sure of it all. It's a song that is truly divine and unbearably erotic with it's imagination. Did you noticed the song is in Inglorious basterds too? | Reviewer: ivo velchevski ------ About the song Cat People (Putting Out Fire) performed by David Bowie The song is definitely composed and sang From The Man Who Fell on Earth, in other words, it belongs to outer space. The space might be within, or without human being. But, we'll never know. You don't know. Nobody would... When it comes to the true nature of art, as much it is in obscurity, greater is the meaning. Because you are able to wander, to search, to explore, to transform. Transformation has been the one and only perpetuum mobile that makes The Earth round, to spin and never stop. Back to the song. It's title song for Paul Schrader's 'Cat People',starring Nastasia Kinski, Malcolm McDowell and John Heard. In it, Kinski transforms into gorgeous black puma when she was making love. All for love she refused herself from human body, embracing the magic black animal soul. That bitch Tarantino uses the same song in his last masterpiece 'Inglorious Basterds', in the last scene of mass fire, massacre and sacrifice in the all names of love. Eternal love, fire, death and transformation to the ageless spirit of creation. For love only. Best of Bowie | Reviewer: Twinke Toez ------ About the song Teenage Wildlife performed by David Bowie I agree with Mike, this song is my absolute favorite and it has some of the bast vocals I have ever heard. Why do I never hear it on the radio, I wouldn't know. It is one of the greatest songs of all time in my book STARMAN! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Starman performed by David Bowie I love this song. Billie, I feel very much the same. . . a shiny David Bowie would be Starman. . . But I don't think I've worded that right. . . You get the idea though. Anyhow, it is an awesome song. I just wish that David Bowie would've stayed Ziggy Stardust for a few more years. . . nina simone | Reviewer: Mark ------ About the song Wild Is The Wind performed by David Bowie In response to lance: The version you mean is the original version by Nina Simone. So it's a bit difficult to say she doesn't have the pipes for it because she wrote it. And if you know Nina Simone just a bit u would know she is an awesome singer. But I to like the version of David Bowie better because he made the song more epic. Talk about mistakes... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Major Tom performed by David Bowie NO... we actually DID land on the moon in 1969 (July 20, 1969) and the word was "ANARCHIST" not "antichrist" which are VERY different in meaning. Do a little research before you attack someone's comment. As for the song, I love both the David Bowie version (titled "Space Oddity" as mentioned below) and the Peter Shilling version. Shilling's German version is identical to his English version except that it's in German, so no huge bonus. The song is about a nightmare | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Always Crashing In The Same Car performed by David Bowie The song is about a repetitive nightmare Bowie kept having where he was racing through a multi-level motel parking garage in an automobile at breakneck speed and crashing. "I was going round and round the hotel garage". One of Bowie's Best | Reviewer: ab ------ About the album Diamond Dogs performed by David Bowie This album was loosely based on the book '1984' by George Orwell. It and the tour were supposed to be much more elaborate but Orwell's widow wouldn't give Bowie the rights to the book so he had to re-write much of it. Music. | Reviewer: Joram Arentved ------ About the song Dancing In The Street performed by David Bowie If you can both, Dave & Mike, you're welcome to receive this my offer, i.e. as a Danish & autodi-dact guit., (semi-ac.), so that I can of course tell & e.g. help us all find out &, whoever's who, our best answers to, what's our just as good fu- ture, all about & forever to be, why & when, an issue, I still don't know, don't think, if I can fail to rely & count on, e.g. for myself to feel like a true buddhist, forever to be, & whereto there are a few solutions, if it's not my poor mother, near Copenhagen, it's her husband, a sym-bol & a repetition to me that both still exist as incurable idiots, forever to be, - The Corrupt still approve of no honesty, so I don't see any risk, whatsoever that I can fail to tell you the truth, as it deserves to come to your attention. Greetings, 'J.A.,' arentved@in.com, maybe to be continued. Dolphins | Reviewer: Jack ------ About artist/band David Bowie Overplayed to death yet never played often enough at just the right moment. It will mark a seminal day, month and year when all of us in the Global South AND those of us in abjectly backward Western Democracies drop our shoulders, tools and ghetto-blasters and simply dance to the erratic beat of Bowie's heart. 'We hope that you' DO NOT 'choke'. Beautiful song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Underground [long version] performed by David Bowie You know what. I watched this when I was 10 or so. Now, after 20 years, my 4 year old kid enjoys Labyrinth. Great things never get old :) Without David Bowies songs the movie would not have been that great!!!! responce to mike m | Reviewer: jay ------ About the song Major Tom performed by David Bowie ok just to point out a few things wrong with your statement, one we went to to moon in 1959 and landed, the song was written in 1969, so thats a bit of a joke on yourself, also to call david bowie an antichrist, on make me believe that you dont understand a single song of his or even him in general, bowie was a great song writer and a christian at that, i really get tired of people throwing words like antichrist and god around so much that the idea of the words are obviously lost, Classic | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Young Americans performed by David Bowie I met my first boyfriend at 17 in 1978 and this was 'our' song. If there's one 'damn song that can make me break down and cry' its this one. I didn't know any of the words till I read this today, just made up what I thought it was. Now, I see how meaningful it is. worth more than asking price | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Sweet Thing performed by David Bowie the song mostly over looked by fans it an amazing interperatashion of 1984 the novle. not only is it extreamly hard to create an album based on a classic novle but to do it with such skill i give it five stars You ARE smarter than a 5th grader! | Reviewer: Seth ------ About the song TVC 15 performed by David Bowie David did write the song about POP. I too have followed Bowie since the late 60's. I also think that his name change from Jones to Bowie was a smart marketing move,(although I don't think David was thinking marketing back then)because, can you imagine??????
