jackson 301 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 All this 'ooh ahh' being created by Bowie's latest release; can't they see that it's Bowie in his mature years philosophising? I reach the wonderful age of 66 this March - born in the same year as Bowie - and I do the same, philosophise: 'looking at life on Earth'. Bowie fuses the past (memory) with the present and poses the question: "Where are we now? where are we now?" Bowie's release is beautiful and haunting: a poem set to music. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Sad that the Bowie video @ #23 has been blocked for copyright reasons - will try 'YouTube', even if it's a shorter version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I've read that if you buy the CD you get the single for free and it's for this reason that the single isn't allowed to be in the 'Singles Chart'. David Bowie is like every other singer in that he makes average songs and also great songs. In my opinion David Bowie has made many great songs, that is why he is still so popular today.

systema 13 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Quote from Angie Bowie - There’s nothing about the sound that’s new, either. The subject matter is tired – it’s a nostalgic look back tothe last time he was at the forefront of pop music. It is from an article in DM - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2276337/David-Bowie-Ex-wifes-deeply-personal-critique-star-NOT-want-read.html I agree with her - I have all Bowies old stuff but would not even consider a free download of this song. All of us on here have lots of nostalgic look backs but this is not a good one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beachbum 68 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 My own Bowie favourite is still The Port of Amsterdam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
