One of the finest arrangement of this legendary song I have ever heard. Flyte will be extremely frikkin famous, because they are marvellous. The harmony is hauntingly beautiful and Will Taylor really sang like we have only got 5 years left. My very best wishes all the way from the Lion City Singapore.
Remy Fan the key to doing a great cover of this is to understand the sorrow of what David Bowie's singing about and trying to get out that sorrow. When I cover this I will try to make sure that by the end I feel like crying because that's how I want to feel covering it; upset by the fact that I am talking about having five years left on earth
You've managed to get right inside the spirit of the song and brought out its poetry. A genuine tribute to Bowie and a new side of Bowies beautiful and distressing songs. Listening over and over again
Marvelous. Five Years always brings tears to my eyes: Ziggy’s love of humanity… but breaking the news we only have 5 years left. You’ve created a wonderful, heartfelt version.
I love David Bowie with an absolute passion. I would listen to the rise and fall of ziggy stardust on vinyl and would rock my head with my dad. This is better than the original in my opinion. Nostalgia told me no but this is one of the best covers of Bowie ever. I’d love to see you guys do more songs from the album like rock n roll suicide and lady stardust. Your music is great too! Love it all :)
+Dam indiemono I was introduced to this band during a really shitty part of my life, and I remember listening to their songs while siting in my cupboard crying. And they made me feel something when I was just numb. I just never knew I could feel that way about a song/band, if you get me? Sorry for being so deep and meaningful. It just makes me so sad, that bands like Flyte somehow get so little attention when pop artists are able to just release some song about the same damn thing every time and it get's so much attention. God damn it, I hope I can meet these guys one day and tell them how much they mean to me.
Dam indiemono Thank you so much. Life is quite a bit better! The two things that keep me happy are music and my dogs. I hope you feel great as well. *Hugs back*
Flyte are headlining a secret music showcase in an intimate garden venue this August (2017) if you're interested, it'd be nice to see some genuine fans of theirs enjoy the day: www.ticketor.com/gardenopenmike2017/upcomingevents?pageid=75124
Ziggy must be smiling over you down from whatever planet he now resides upon. Thanks for doing justice to one of my all-time favorite songs. A truly great heartfelt tribute here.
Great improvisation by using the lemon as a shaker 👍🏻 still brilliant. Just waiting for you to properly release 'faithless' though, by far my favourite. 😄
Somehow you were in another dimension, and pulled in Bowie’s soul, and made this perfectly orchestrated masterpiece. And by the way, I see you looking heavenwards at the end - maybe thanking a friend?
Such a shame that a nice cover of a genius song by a group of talented kids will never get a random shoutout from the author. It feels like it’s less than five years now. Fuck.

As if this song isn't emotional enough you guys added the harmonies. Well done I say, David would be pleased.
You are right David would love it

I still don't understand how you're not extremely frikkin famous, you're marvelous.

After 5 years I find myself still returning to this cover. Goosebumps every time.
Probably the best most authentic cover I’ve seen. Brilliant!
Brilliant Bowie....Tune!!! great version.
beautiful cover and beautiful looking man, he has that square english jaw, the harmonies made it feel like a beatles song which makes it even better!!
my favorite song of all time - nailed it
I randomly clicked on a Christmas song The Staves did with you and that's how I discovered you. I'm so happy I did!
That's how I found them too!
Same here! 🙂
This cover was released five years ago and so far, it's the best performance of this Bowie masterpiece. You brought all the depth that this song has.
Magnificent - truly honours the passion and intent of the original.
Ziggy must be smiling over you down from whatever planet he now resides upon. Thanks for doing justice to one of my all-time favorite songs. A truly great heartfelt tribute here.
Poncey Train, Bowie is flying through space right now in Tessie's space ship, mate.
Absolutely stunning, moving and emotionally pitch perfect. Wow.
I somehow always come back to this.. don't know exactly why but kids, this is art.
