    When I read beatbox in the title I wasn’t sure what to expect, but my God is this beautiful. Bowie would be proud

  • @unmitigatedaudacity

    The mystery lyrics are from Bowie's Under Pressure:
    "Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking
    Can't we give ourselves one more chance
    Why can't we give love that one more chance "
    Fucking beautiful.

    It's difficult to believe just how much talent resides in this young man (IQ through the roof), and that voice(?)...that voice deserves a lead in Heaven's choir. Good on ya Pete, from a consistently impressed music veteran with 40 yrs experience. I believe your ticket is written.

    Lyrics
    We passed upon the stair
    We spoke of was and when
    Although I wasn't there
    He said I was his friend
    Which came as a surprise
    I spoke into his eyes
    I thought you died alone
    A long long time ago
    Oh no, not me
    We never lost control
    You're face to face
    With the man who sold the world
    I laughed and shook his hand
    And made my way back home
    I searched for form and land
    For years and years I roamed
    I gazed a gazeless stare
    At all the millions here
    I must have died alone
    A long, long time ago
    Who knows? Not me
    We never lost control
    You're face to face
    With the man who sold the world
    Who knows? Not me
    We never lost control
    You're face to face
    With the man who sold the world

    I'm gonna say this - and it won't be a popular take - but this version is at least as good as Bowie/Cobain/Stipes covers. I'm not going to say it's the best because it's a cover but it's absolutely mind blowing.

    Amazing rendition of a very poignant not-so well known Bowie song. A bittersweet lament of the whole world mourning for its lost souls. Bowie had a particular morbid streak when he was younger and this was the source of some of his exceptional work. This captures it beautifully. Thank you for sharing your striking talent.
