I loved the singles Fashion and Ashes to Ashes when they came out, but it took many more years to appreciate the brilliance of the Scary Monsters album. Better late than never.
Agree. Think this track should have been a single.....maybe should have been released before Ashes to Ashes ...in other words the lead single from Scary Monsters.
Psychodelicate girl Come out to play Little metal faced-boy Don't stay away They're so war-torn and resigned She can't talk anymore What are they trying to prove? What would they like to find? It's love back to front and no sides (like I say) These pieces are broken (like I say) These pieces are broken (oh, no, no, no, no, no) Because you're young You'll meet a stranger some night Because you're young What could be nicer for you? And it makes me sad So I'll dance my life away A million dreams, a million scars He punishes hard Was loving her such a crime? She took back everything she said Left him nearly out of his mind They're people I know, people I love They seem so unhappy Dead or alive It's love back to front and no sides (like I say) These pieces are broken (like I say) These pieces are broken (oh, no, no, no) Because you're young You'll meet a stranger some night Because you're young What could be nicer for you? And it'll makes me sad So I'll dance my life away A million dreams, a million scars A million dreams A million scars A million A million dreams A million dreams A million A million A million A million
"Psychodelicate Girl" more than rivals "I'm an Alligator". Fripp (Townshend), Bittan, and the DAM band more than rival The Spiders. "Ziggy" was a Character, The "C*nt in the Clown Suit" is all Bowie. Scary Monsters is about Authoritarianism in the world, and it's threat to free living. It is more timely today than when it came out. "Teenage Wildlife' is perhaps the most unique and honest pop song ever written; from the perspective of 2 David Bowie's. I've sold myself. 1st - Scary Monsters, 2nd - Ziggy Stardust. I've done the unthinkable, but did not get hit by lightening.
It took years to make the decision, but I finally consider Scary Monsters to be his best album. Every song is amazing and way ahead of it’s time. The guitar work by Fripp and Townsend add so much character to this stage of Bowie’s sound 🙌
It’s hard to me to choose his best album, but always considered “Scary monsters” one of them, because it was the result of all he learned doing the Eno trilogy, that makes it a really masterful album too.
I would rank "Station to Station" as his most fully realized masterpiece. But I do consider "Teenage Wildlife" to be the greatest song he ever composed.
This was my first Bowie album, late 1980. Sadly had to sell it later to make rent. I’m still coming back for more in 2021. The kids in the future will too
this album is so underrated in his catalogue, it's in my top 3 of his for sure! this song, the title track, Scream Like a Baby, and Ashes to Ashes are strong highlightssss
When I bought this album I was young, very young. Now in my fifties I can still appreciate the sentiment and genius of this brilliant song just as much now
i am in my 60'S OMG this was College for me. i met him in 1978 dressed like the cover of STATION TO STATION. Bowie signed my white glove.'' you look terribly smart'' is what he said to me. WOW Did my first year Art Thesis on him 24 mixed media pieces. Sang in a Bowie cover band in High School.. Then TIN MACHINE and i was done. i did not get it. NOW i am reliving it all over again. Better than ever. RIP my true Mentor. No one will ever be that cool again.
I say "Because You're Young" is one of the best bass rock tracks ever. George Murray's performance on the Scary Monsters album is one of the great rock bass recordings of all time. And since we are talking DAM band, Carlos Alomar interweaving with Robert Fripp and Pete Townshend throughout the entire album kind of verifies how amazing Carlos Alomar is.
The guitar is great, all the time, throughout the whole (less than 5 minutes long) song! Actually, that is one fo the things tham make this song a perfect one!
Me too, SO, SO much! "Scary Monsters" was my first intro to Bowie, apart from top-40 radio, and I was hooked. Brilliant album of an ever-evolving artist.
@@TylerDurden-oy2hm Not on this track. According to the credits it is indeed Pete Townshend. On a doco I heard he was pissed on this. If true he did alright. Robert Fripp didn't play on all the others either.
I've loved Bowie for around 25 years now, (First hearing 'Aladdin sane' at 16 or 17) and for some time I considered this my favourite Bowie album, it's bounced around my top 3 ever since. 'Because you're young' is one of many fantastic songs on this fantastic album. Pete Townshend on guitar - excellent. I love Bowie's vocals on the outro and the backing vocals that offer a counter melody to it...
The point is that the song has really universal meaning. To me, it is an excellent song which is a complex of great vocal, perfect instrumental and lyrics that covers different meanings, including the following (probably the simpliest explanation): Experienced man meets pretty nice young woman. Perfect match, but age difference and other things make the real relationship impossible. Since I have experienced that feelin, it's always sad when you know that in different circumstances it has very good chances to be a perfect relation, but...
“I guess I’ve adopted the role of a sort of old roué in that one, looking down on these two young mad things and knowing that it’s all gonna fizzle out. God, I’m a depressive person!” David Bowie on "Because you're young"
I loved the singles Fashion and Ashes to Ashes when they came out, but it took many more years to appreciate the brilliance of the Scary Monsters album. Better late than never.
i like to think Bowie was a little ahead in time , song i found weird during the 90s sounds great to day
Was in the same undecided boat on its arrival.
Not sure of the music when I first heard it except for the singles..
Its sounding much better today.
it is interesting how so many BOWIE SONGS that never got released are true gems.
Agree. Think this track should have been a single.....maybe should have been released before Ashes to Ashes ...in other words the lead single from Scary Monsters.
teenage wildlife
"...So I'll dance my life away
A million dreams, a million scars..."
What a beautiful song...
George Murray was a hell of a bass player, melodic and inventive,he supports the song brilliantly here.
Wrote for his son Duncan, beautiful and haunting x
Psychodelicate girl
Come out to play
Little metal faced-boy
Don't stay away
They're so war-torn and resigned
She can't talk anymore
What are they trying to prove?
What would they like to find?
It's love back to front and no sides (like I say)
These pieces are broken (like I say)
These pieces are broken (oh, no, no, no, no, no)
Because you're young
You'll meet a stranger some night
Because you're young
What could be nicer for you?
And it makes me sad
So I'll dance my life away
A million dreams, a million scars
He punishes hard
Was loving her such a crime?
She took back everything she said
Left him nearly out of his mind
They're people I know, people I love
They seem so unhappy
Dead or alive
It's love back to front and no sides (like I say)
These pieces are broken (like I say)
These pieces are broken (oh, no, no, no)
Because you're young
You'll meet a stranger some night
Because you're young
What could be nicer for you?
And it'll makes me sad
So I'll dance my life away
A million dreams, a million scars
A million dreams
A million scars
A million
A million dreams
A million dreams
A million
A million
A million
A million
Huh, always thought it was "hope I'm wrong but I know"
Instead of "oh no no no no"
Thanks
read that it is "betel-faced boy
"Psychodelicate Girl" more than rivals
"I'm an Alligator".
Fripp (Townshend), Bittan, and the DAM band more than rival The Spiders.

One of David Bowie's best tracks, full of life and melody.
YES AND I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT ❤️❤️🦋🌈 RIP DAVID BOWIE SLEEP WELL STARMAN
David, you're so missed. We love you maestro!
Superb album
Your real fans will keep you alive you won't be forgotten
im one
facts🤍
This was my first Bowie album, late 1980. Sadly had to sell it later to make rent. I’m still coming back for more in 2021. The kids in the future will too
Most people only know about Life on Mars and starman etc... Very underappreciated his other brilliant stuff.
We don't need no most of people. The important is us, we are true Bowie lovers.
@@thecat9660 Yeah I guess you're right.
👍👍👍
It's no game 1 & 2
Exactly, from the famous album Scary Monsters 🖤
this album is so underrated in his catalogue, it's in my top 3 of his for sure!
this song, the title track, Scream Like a Baby, and Ashes to Ashes are strong highlightssss
@Evan Hodge okay? i never said it wasn’t. i said it was underrated 4 years ago lol
When I bought this album I was young, very young. Now in my fifties I can still appreciate the sentiment and genius of this brilliant song just as much now

scary monsters and super creeps my fav Bowie album
And so he did “dance his life away.”
We still miss you David.
Scary monsters....great album...beautiful voice....love Bowie forever
That guitar riff sounds haunting but cool af at the same time. Bowie was the best at bringing together so many styles.
I heard this riff in my head, thought i'd never hear it again and here i am! always loved david bowie
Very much the underrated piece here. A foretaste of what was to come.
Loving that synth. And everything about this song. :D
Love bowie's voice and the keyboard riffs
The opening is sublime!!
Abertura realmente é srnsacional
I say "Because You're Young" is one of the best bass rock tracks ever. George Murray's performance on the Scary Monsters album is one of the great rock bass recordings of all time. And since we are talking DAM band, Carlos Alomar interweaving with Robert Fripp and Pete Townshend throughout the entire album kind of verifies how amazing Carlos Alomar is.
Excellent sound and what a unique voice ! I wish I were less young to have shared his generation
AUROUX Ghislaine you're not the only one :( I was born in 92
Ah... but at least you found him.
One of the most underappreciated cuts on the album.
*T A L E N T*
Or even Freddie Mercury
Evil Doctor PorkChop what about the beattles?
PLUS that guitar outro is one of favrourite fading riffs.........mmmKAY?
The guitar is great, all the time, throughout the whole (less than 5 minutes long) song! Actually, that is one fo the things tham make this song a perfect one!
Love it, the chorus is so catchy!
Superb
Pete Townshend sure plays a mean rhythm guitar on this track, killer!
the keyboard in the background must be by him too... sounds too who-y for it not to be
no way.... serious pete townsend ?
@@jefmay3053 yes
"GET YOUR EYE TAKEN OUT!"
I always thought Pete played the lead part in the intro. It had a very "Eminence Front" tone to it.
Underrated
VERY much so imo x x
It's so easy to get lots of likes under your comment now, isn't it? You just have to write "underrated" under a music video which is >20 y.o. or so.
@@gnus3830 Unfortunately I can't give you 51873 likes.
Not by real Bowie fans.
Sungley you should have typed “underrated” to get more likes
Reminds me so of my youth...
so says trent reznor
Me too, SO, SO much! "Scary Monsters" was my first intro to Bowie, apart from top-40 radio, and I was hooked. Brilliant album of an ever-evolving artist.
The bittersweet sequel to Hunky Dory's Kooks.
In what way?
This was my intro song back in my pirate radio days in the late 80's. It was my opening song to my 2 hour shift. Great days now long passed.
Sublime.
A certain Pete Townsend playing awesome guitar on this one.
Townshend on this dope
thought it was Fripp??
@@TylerDurden-oy2hm Not on this track. According to the credits it is indeed Pete Townshend. On a doco I heard he was pissed on this. If true he did alright.
Robert Fripp didn't play on all the others either.
The Townshend riffs are low in the mix.
Most of the amazing guitar on this track is Alomar. 🤯
A hidden gem.
Freakin' killer song. With Townsend on guitar. No wonder it's my fav of all.
david..i love you and miss you so much..a spiritual brother x
Happy 40th anniversary to Scary Monsters album
He blew my mind in every word
the keyboard on this reminds of an Elvis Costello & The Attractions track- very Steve Nieve-ish.
Glorious
Que grandiosa canción ..me encanta 💋
I love the 'little metal faced boy' line, I always smile when he sings it 🤖
Riff hypnotique de guitare saturée en intro, j'adore !
Because you're young
You'll meet a stranger some night
Because you're young
What could be nicer for you?
I love this song 💕
I love this song so much, I decided to do my own mix which is on UA-cam. Thanks ReUp.
J avais 15 ans . David je t aime toujours. Et ta musique n a pas changé. Eternel
His voice in this song MELTS ME.
HEART BREAKING....every inch
*These pieces are broken!*
Like I say!
Bowie ever and ever. Miss you David
thank you.respectful.x

"Because your young you'll meet a stranger some night. My breath needs to catch!
12/10 album, this song is 12/10 too
One of my faves!
Brilliant!
un album génial
ouais....c^est pas robert fripp qui est à la guitar
Love it! especially love that Pete Townsend is on guitar duties for this one, don't want that outro to end....
So hard to believe he's gone RIP 1947-2016
Immense intro and magnificent track.
That fuckin bass, damn..
The dude from Dire Straits on keys
maravilloso... genial..... lo amo 😍😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗
I LOVE THIS SONG
この声の艶っぽさは何なんだ？
全てが美しすぎる男。
52にして転職しますが、成功信じて突撃であります！
何故なら「君は若い」から。
" 10 " Mr. Bowie.
This song is so good 😤😤😤
I find this very Blur and Eno like!!! Yeah yeah I know blur wasnt even born and Eno just had left the album before, but still.
definitely Blur and Eno with the repeated riffs and synths pinging
FRIPP that is why FRIPP was awesome here
🎸 🎶 👍 the word of 🙇 Bowie 💿. 😍 you to the 🥤 🍓 and 🔙. 🌟 ♥.

"A million dreams, a million scars..."
Bowie's 2nd best track after Lady Grinning Soul. Utterly sublime.
these pieces are broken... in the dream of night. and a million dreams, that they last on and on. a psychedelica girl because your young.
❤️ ★
left behind dead or lost these pieces are broken
An early Tin Machine song
really? i did not enjoy that phase guess i was stuck here
Pete Townshend is on guitar on this one. Bowie just had the best musicians around for this album.
& it was a B-Side I think..........Scary Monsters A-Side??........I'm SURE that was what was on my cassingle......best format EVER.........
Grande chitarra di Pete Towsend degli WHO
Just quality that no new stuff can .... well you know what I mean
now I know where EVERY Killer's Track comes from.......... :0)
Where does it sound like the Killers?
@@wolfgangmercury774 don't defend the killers on a bowie video, not a good look
yup
HEAVY Wire vibes at the start. (Chairs Missing anyone?). Townshend guest appearance!
Damn, this song is sooo sexy!!
And so I'll dance my life away..
DIEGO BRANDO!
i wish that hit at 4:42 lasted longer.
The guitar riff sounds like foo fighters rope guitar riff
Pete Townsend from the Who does the guitar on this track,A Belew & R Fripp do the others

Well, that's just my point of view! You may like it or not, I think this is a great song.
Hahaha I know, thank you, of course is a great song!
