His pupils were permanently different sizes - he got punched in the schoolyard and his one pupil stayed dilated the rest of his life.
I heard in a documentary it was bc he got hit in the eye by a ball with his friend? He was in the documentary so idk if that’s it or not
@@TheNraveles No, he has stated before that he got punched in the eye by his friend, rightfully so according to David. The muscle was severed and so the pupil was left paralysed.
@@TheNraveles No he himself said he was punched by a friend because of a girl they both liked and the fact has been confirmed by the guy in an interview since they remained friends for the rest of their lives. The name of the guy is George Underwood if you want to know it.
Anyway everybody talks about the different colour but nobody thinks about what that accident meant for him the pupil of his left eye was paralized so it was always dilated which meant he saw very little from that eye. By the way beware of the many documentaries out there most of them are full of mistakes and false information.
Bowie landing in our living room was like watching an alien arrive. It was glorious. Also he mentions "The Norfolk Broads" which weirdly is now where this London girl lives.
Bowie didn't die, he went home to his own planet.
Some of us would love to visit him there.
WOW well said
So darn true.
I’ve lived in Broadland all my life , just these two words ‘Norfolk Broads’ makes this a personal song , it’s a forever classic ❤
@@martyt8551 Agree. I live inn Worlingham last 23 years. Could never return to London.
This is not just a song, it's a work of art.
Bowie himself was a work of art.
Didn't we have the best music back in the 70s & 80s? Such a creative era that some of us got to experience from the front row of life.
Absolutely. And, Some of 60s was epic, also. The Zombies had several epic songs.
@@ed.z. you're right about that ed. The Who,cream, the Doors, Hendrix. Although I only picked up on the 60's stuff during the 70's, I don't remember the 60's I'm a '66 kid, out in time for England to win the world cup,for their one and only time 🤦♂️
After watching the new bowie ‘documentary’ Moonage Daydream and another called ‘the last five years’, i am convinced that he was easily one of (if not THE) greatest artists of our time. One of a kind was bowie…or more…one of many kinds! Credit also must go to the late, great Mick Ronson who not only played phenomenal guitar but also wrote the string arrangements here…one of his first attempts at it. Not bad for a first, eh? I miss both those guys badly
He was like a shapeshifter, and he truly inhabited each new persona, such fluidity and charisma!⚡💖
Oh David ,we miss you soooooooooooooo much !
goosebumps!. lyrics, video, piano (Rick Wakeman), Arrangements (Mick Ronson), the whole package is out of this world (Mars)
in my opinion this is the greatest song ever written sung and performed ever
As I told you JM this is the first voice he had, typically British. I was reading about this video that he was not happy about doing it like this. They had phone ringing during the recording, he wanted to play an instrument. Bowie play piano, guitar, sax he's very talented. When he passed away, at the Brits awards they asked Lorde to sing this song with Bowie's musicians, it was a great moment. You can find this video here on UA-cam. Thanks JM Bowie was my idol
Rick Wakeman played piano on this along with many other Bowie songs.
@@TheCornishCockney Thanks for the info, I didn't know.
If you're looking into more Bowie any time soon, totally recommend 'Five Years'!!! It's based on a dream he'd had where his late father came up to him and told him he would only have five more years left to live, super emotional piece, he was actually crying while recording the end of the song!! Did it all in one take, too.
JM thanks for checking out Bowie.....!
Great actor as well.. This man was the ultimate Androgynous artist and peerless in terms of style and originality
YES!.... David Bowie is certainly a "Very Unique Package". Notice the different size of his eye pupils. Left side is larger than the right. David took his last name from the famous Jim Bowie Knife that was used at the Alamo in Texas and gained notoriety then. David liked the name. Most everything from this artist is different.
Bowie genius ❤❤❤Thankyou for this ,
Elton John - "Funeral For A Friend/Loves Lies Bleeding".... "Madman Across The Water".... "I've Seen That Movie Too"....
"I Believe In Love"
One of Classic Rock's Goddesses is the incomparable Grace Slick from the 60s group "The Jefferson Airplane" She was often called "The Acid Queen" A True American Music Icon. The first person to say the words Mother Fucker on Live TV. Her voice is certainly the stuff of legend. A song that has altered the culture of America since it hit the airwaves.....When asked why does the band do songs about drugs, Grace replied how everybody who asked is a Hypocrite and society has been feeding children mental drugs for decades with movies like "Alice In Wonderland" is a drug trip if anything. SO,,, she wrote this song that is another MUST SEE...... "White Rabbit"

She is the acid queen indeed! But you need to do “Rejoyce” (pull up lyrics) and/or “Two Heads” (pull up the lyrics). Those are actual psychedelic brilliant abstract deep songs. Trust me.
Hi JM! Nice reaction :) ! Since you seem willing to explore the Bowie rabbit hole bit deeper, and since you already noticed how versatile Bowie was, may I suggest you give a listen to "Sweet thing/Candidate/Sweet thing", from 1974 (just one year after this song) ? It's another key moment in Bowie's evolution, and believe me, it's not the last by a long shot :D !
My fav song ever, no words to describe such masterpiece
From the mind blowing 1967 album "Surrealistic Pillow"... Jefferson Airplane - Somebody To Love, American Bandstand, 1967
ua-cam.com/video/myVzaR8cmDA/v-deo.html
Also and I like better “Rejoyce.” A generational anthem of the darkest beauty.
My idol, love his music especially Aladdin Sane Album..
There's actually an interesting story about the origins of this song!
Bowie's record company had given him the task of translating a french song, when completed, he turned in the translated version titled 'Even a Fool Learns to Love'. They were unsatisfied with the piece, giving the task to a different managing company. The final translation ended up being 'My Way' by Frank Sinatra. Bowie was outraged by the success of this version over his own, so he wrote 'Life on Mars' in retaliation.
'Life on Mars' ended up being about a girl who is unhappy with her home life, so she's completely infatuated with fantasy stories and films as they give her a chance to get away from her own reality. The girl he's speaking about in the song (the girl with the mousy hair), was a real woman that Bowie wrote about quite often around this time, her name was Hermione Farthingale. Bowie described her as his first love.
Also, the reason one of his eyes was dilated was because of an injury. He had a crush on one of his friend's girlfriends back in school, rightfully so his friend hit him in the eye for it. Ended up paralyzing the pupil. Same guy that hit him in the eye, George Underwood, actually designed a couple album covers for Bowie later on!!
Plus Bowie is pronounced Boh-ee!! 😂
BEST SONG EVER!
Most days I name this as my favorite Bowie song. That glorious piano with his magnificent voice! And then the poetry of the lyrics. I love it.
Great reaction!
Bowie songs are such earworms, i swear i once sang this song non-stop for a whole week. Probably annoyed the crap out of my classmates lol
Such a beautiful melody, nostalgia in spades….
I was 18 in London when this masterpiece dropped.
Been a mega fan ever since and seen him over 40 times and some in different countries.
He’s a God to me.
RIP Starman.
I saw him three times live in 1973 and 1974 , brill. Still know all the words . It helped that my hair is red when we all dressed up like him for live concerts lolllll
A vignette piece that lyrically reminds me of tunes like the beatles' The Fool on the Hill, and many others by the beatles.. but of course the piece is genius
Hey JM, you really want to watch something that will make you Proud to know you are among the millions that love what these two funny guys gave the world, something to BUST A GUT LAUGHING. Seriously (pun intended) we all want to watch you watch this..... 9 min,38sec scene.... Cheech & Chong are a Canadian comedy duo founded in Vancouver and consisting of Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong Grammy Winners For Best Comedy Album......Two of the World's Most Famous Stoners.... Cheech and Chong - "Up In Smoke"

"Life On Mars"
It's a God-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
This is the quintessential Bowie song. So idiosyncratic and yet so accessible.
Dang! I really miss David Bowie. Losing him was like losing a favorite color.
You should check out ‘five years’ by Bowie.
The piano player on this song was a relatively unknown (at the time) studio musician who you should definitely check out named Rick Wakeman. He’s known for his work with the best lineup of Yes.
Oooh yes 😂❤amazing
This song… It means so much. I learned to sing it. But I could never portray what David did. Nor even the children with the flutes.
His eyes were different colours. Schoolyard fight - with his neighbour and friend who ended up doing art work for some of his album covers. My brother has the same eye issue - one dilated pupil from getting hit on the eye with a cricket ball.
One of my heroes (pun intended) is David Bowie.
“A very different Bowie”
Let’s just say,he went through Changes,achieved Fame and became a Diamond Dog.
They made a 25-minute documentary entirely about this track and nothing else ---in Sweden. Wherever I happen to be, it's an instant four-minute daydream in a cinema, and it'll never lose its luster for me. For something just a bit different, dig *"Can You Hear Me?"* from his Young Americans album (1975)...
About the "cave men dancing in the dance hall":One day they'll realize that we were meant to stay in the cave. I didn't think that Bowie could sing so well
It’s EPIC isn’t it ? That was Rick Wakeman the keyboard genius from the band YES and he made the difference here I think 👌
👍🏴
Rick later told friends he'd just played piano on the best song ever written.
@@kimstockwell721 that’s what I heard too 👌
👍🏴
The only person who cared about The Girl with The Mousey Hair ❤️❤️
The piano was played by Rick Wakeman and Bowie's different eye colour was caused by a punch in a fight for a girl. Anyway, what a genius. RIP David.
Watch the BBC series with John Simm Life On Mars it's freaking good! There is another version, but it doesn't compare. This song is in the first part of episode 1.
If you like this, try his song Aladdin Sane….you won’t know what hit you, very avant-garde
JM, see if you agree.... Why did they call Eric Clapton "GOD" in the late 60s?... Find out here - CREAM - "Crossroads"
"Motor City Madman" .... He will grab you by your throat and you will enjoy the experience.... Ted Nugent - "Stranglehold"
