Only two years later space oddity was released. Then one year later the man who sold the world. Then hunky dory. Then Ziggy Stardust, and on and on and on. He could, and did do everything. There was only one David Bowie and forever he will be remembered as an innovater, re-inventor and a boundary breaker. Rip David Bowie, our one and only Starman.
The world has simply no idea yet how valuable and important his actual heritage is. The last two albums are something nobody else can ever do - they are more like philosophical indexes cutting through decades than something that a normal rock god would do. Way closer to a prophet than a stone-age man.
But even in 1969, when 'Space Oddity' became his first hit in the UK, nothing happened for him in the US. Nothing at all. It wasn't until early 1972 that 'Starman' got airplay in the US - and even then, his music wasn't taken seriously by the hipsters of that time.
@@total.stranger I don't know anything about the hipster's reception in the US at that time, and I am not disagreeing with you, but if you have not already, you might enjoy reading the rave review with which the NY Times greeted his debut album--basically called it a work of genius.
@@samskid8913 Thanks for that tip, Sam's kid. I just did a quick search of the NYT, but couldn't find that review from 1967. I'll keep looking. Also, keep in mind that when "Starman" was first given airplay in 1972, everything going on, pop music-wise, was Southern Californian, earthy-crunchy, singer-songwriter stuff. Bowie's angle was from far left-field and he wasn't taken seriously. Later that summer, with "Ziggy Stardust", things began to change for him, but it was slow going. It was more a matter of the pop music world having to catch up with him, rather than him having to catch up with it. "Ziggy Stardust" helped that process along, and RCA re-releasing the "Space Oddity" and "The Man Who Sold The World" LPs. helped it along even more.
When I first fell in love with this man and his music was at the tender age of 10 (5th grade), when I first saw him in the Let's Dance video. Then I started to accumulate all his music. Starting with this early music... Cassette tapes back then.. And I could only listen, not watch... Only imagine what this song looked like, not knowing there was an actual video. So this to me, watching these songs I so cherished at a young age, come to life and it's just very moving and makes me teary eyed. Remembering ... And now it comes to life, this song. 💛
I got all teary eyed out of the blue while watching... Hard to remember he's no longer a young man in his early success, but up in the stars awaiting us with an extended hand!
When he made this video, he wasn't a success at all. He was - to put it mildly - a "nobody". He received good reviews for his debut LP that this song is from, but nobody out in record-buying land was listening - and no radio stations were playing him. He was just starting out in this video.
@@total.stranger Even tho I don't think the highest of David Bowie's debut I will say it's a cute album, It takes us all back to a time before he was Ziggy, The thin white duke, The goblin king, Screaming Lord Byron, Major tom, and When he was just a 20 year old mime student David Robert Jones.
@@jeanmichellelaurent Bowie's debut LP was interesting to me because he wrote songs that were similar to Ray Davies and The Kinks- who I'm a huge fan of. The Brown University FM station, WBRU, played "Uncle Arthur", "Love You Till Tuesday", and "Please Mr. Gravedigger" and sold me on him, for that reason - and also because he was an unknown who was very good and who had a unique voice. (like Anthony Newley's, who was a known entity, then.) I bought my copy new, during the summer of 1967, and was both a fan and a champion of his. I still consider "Gravedigger" to be one of the very best things he's ever done. At the time, I didn't know what or where Lambeth (place-named in Gravedigger) was, but ironically, decades later, when I began studying my family's genealogy, I discovered that many of them lived, died, and were buried there - "...till the War came along and someone dropped a bomb on the lot ..." In the fickle world of pop music, Bowie persisted and triumphed - and I'm happy for his success.
Maia Crawford I believe David is in the Khandiraivan Forest. It is a Pure Land in which very advanced beings dwell. The Buddha who presides there is like David, androgynous and musically inclined. Like you I think of Him constantly.
I remember getting into Bowie when I was 12 years old and got a copy of the Diamond Dogs album. My life changed at that moment. I had no idea music and song could be like that. Then I heard the album "World of David Bowie" with this song on it. I was in shock that it was same person lol. Still fell in love with early Bowie. Especially "London Boys" and "Silly Boy Blue". He has been the sound track to my life for over 40 years. x
He had this powerful voice ever since he started...Im blown away. The dont make singers like they used to....but then he was more than a singer but a full true artist.
I totally agree! He was one of a kind. I loved everything about him. His eyes were not the only thing. I loved his smile with his crooked teeth, his ears, his nipples great hands and feet. His moves. All of these factors gave him his sex appeal.
When i live my dream I'll take you with me Riding on a golden horse We'll live within my castle With people there to serve you Happy at the sound of your voice Maybe I'll slay a dragon for you Or banish wicked giants from the land But you will find Nothing in my dream can hurt you We will only live each other As forever when I live my dream When I live my dream I'll forget the things you told me And the empty man you left behind Its a broken heart that dreams A broken heart, you left me Only love can live in my dreams I'll wish and the thunder clouds will vanish Wish and the storm will fade away Wish again and you'll stand before me While the sky will paint an overture And trees will play the rhythm of my dream When I live my dream Please be there to meet me Let me be the one to understand When i live my dream I'll forget the hurts you gave me Then we can live in Hollywood land Till the time my dream cascades around me I'm content to let you pass me by Till that day you'll run to many other men
This channel is honestly the bighest blessing of 2019. This vintage Bowie is giving me so many feels. I remember listening to the entire first album over and over when i was first getting into bowie. Nice memories ❤
Enjoying this trip down memory lane. It's a long way down the lane but wonderful. Takes me back to a double album 'Images' I bought. Favourite track 'Silly Boy Blue'. Marvellous.
Quanto mi manchi David 😥😢😢 la sera la passo su UA-cam e guardo tutti i tuoi concerti meravigliosi !i tuoi film! Le interviste !ti amo ti adoro ❤💘💖💞🥀🎇🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟mio DUCABIANCO sei stato e sarai per sempre UNICO 💖🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Have read about this video but never saw it before. Thank you for posting! Love the slightly demented/creepy lyrics, which turn what initially sounds like a swoony love song into something more ironic and self-aware. It is impressive how early he was putting his own twist on his art.
All the people could live some dream - by night but the whole day too.If you dreamed 'bout the good things,I think it's no problem.Only one - always will come the moment you must open your eyes(mayby for a short time,but you must do it!!)And it hurts your heart so much so,so badly.I do know that.I live my dream just 35years. I wish everyone of you to live prettier lives!!
Bowie's debut album is beautiful and in my opinion one of his very best. Why he tried to disown this album and never performed anything from it live after his breakthrough in '72 is beyond me.

My husband dedicated this to me when we started going out-1977. I played it at his funeral 2018.

Beautiful song to share as your song.
Thank you for sharing that with us.

"Happy at the sound of your voice"
yes David, always
Love that old song. He had a voice!
And now you made me cry
Life Time to do it and we join it
It's incredible how many wonderful songs David wrote.
I don’t know what it is about this song in particular, but it really makes me yearn for the pre-internet era.
*_I’m so happy that David’s channel is so active 💜_*
Yeah
me too...let's all keep it that way!

Hello again, Starman. Nice to see you again
Louis bruh
@@f1ftyfiftycl0wn Bowie never dead his music will always keep him alive
I like when this channel posts because it's almost always Bowie songs I've never heard
This song appeared on his debut LP in 1967, with a completely different orchestral arrangement and vocal.
This version of the song (it's considered the single version) was on the Love You 'til Tuesday VHS and the deluxe version of his first album.
Same and they all seem to be amazing, boasting an unforgettable vocal and instrumental. All their own individual works of art.
Genius Bowie
Bars of the county jail, I'm not losing sleep, can't help thinking about me. Classic 60s Bowie
Always brings a smile to my face to see Bowie in his Austin Powers gear! Groooovie Baby - yeahhh!
The time he was in the movie The Linguine Incident was more like him being Austin Powers.
I got all teary eyed out of the blue while watching... Hard to remember he's no longer a young man in his early success, but up in the stars awaiting us with an extended hand!

It may have taken more twists and turns than he expected but you can't say he didn't live his dream
WOW! Both this song and "short promotional film" are amazing!!! I was not expecting this and or that! Wow!
So lovely to see these very early gems from Bowie in his young mod youth!!!! Priceless........miss you, David RIP
Bowie has not only a high ability to write lyrics but also a high ability to compose.
i love him
Not here to say early but to say that I love you David Bowie❤️
I'm dying with love for David Bowie. This is the best UA-cam Channel.
David Bowie the best of the century, unforgettable voice
Let's pretend the beatles , MJ , elvis didn't exist.
Bowie may be gone but his music still lives on in our Hearts keep up the great videos
Plus in reallity he isn't gone
@@donnieedery7818 his music will be forever
Maia Crawford I believe David is in the Khandiraivan Forest. It is a Pure Land in which very advanced beings dwell. The Buddha who presides there is like David, androgynous and musically inclined. Like you I think of Him constantly.
Thank you, this is my absolute favourite Bowie song.
My Favorite Song Of All times ever...
mine too it just amazing his music is so so good he has so much emotion in every song
The girl in the clip is Hermione Farthingale (the one who inspired the famous lines “the girl with the mousy hair” from "Life on Mars")

Such a great song 💖 it makes me so happy and faithful about the future
Wow, very beautiful
“Don’t forget your date with me”

It's a sweet, innocent song - like Herman's Hermits 'I'm Into Something Good', from a few years earlier.
Oki doki....
This is what work of a genius looks and sounds like.
BEAUTIFUL SONG HERE BRASIL 🇧🇷 😎 🙏 📻 🎶 🎼
Simply beautiful! XXX
We will never forget you, Starman! This song is so beautiful as well
Damn his voice was flawless
David sexy prince in a haunted forest waiting for Hermione..So classy and mesmerising! Bowie forever Bowie per persempre...
Right from the bringing Bowie was a master Britain's best solo artist ever there will never be another David Bowie so sadly missed
The end got faded, that's a shame. Lovely song. Great footage.

another one of my favorite bowie songs. we love and miss you, david robert jones ):
So happy to see you again, Starman
As always, ahead of his time...making videos before videos were a thing
💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏Happy birthday, David!!!
Oh David...always enjoy these songs of your youth. And extra cool that the girl of your dreams was right there in the video, Hermione Farthingale.
When i live my dream
I'll take you with me
Riding on a golden horse
We'll live within my castle
With people there to serve you
Happy at the sound of your voice
Maybe I'll slay a dragon for you
Or banish wicked giants from the land
But you will find
Nothing in my dream can hurt you
We will only live each other
As forever when I live my dream
When I live my dream
I'll forget the things you told me
And the empty man you left behind
Its a broken heart that dreams
A broken heart, you left me
Only love can live in my dreams
I'll wish and the thunder clouds will vanish
Wish and the storm will fade away
Wish again and you'll stand before me
While the sky will paint an overture
And trees will play the rhythm of my dream
When I live my dream
Please be there to meet me
Let me be the one to understand
When i live my dream
I'll forget the hurts you gave me
Then we can live in Hollywood land
Till the time my dream cascades around me
I'm content to let you pass me by
Till that day you'll run to many other men
Thanks
Hollywood? Kkkkk
left out the most over the top lyrics at the end.
Gracias ⚛️⚛️🎶🎶🏰💒
Just what I needed to see get uploaded during this rainy day

Slow down slow down. Someone must’ve said to slow him down, silly boy blue.

Nothing else compares....Waiting for the whole love you till Tuesday film to emerge from the dark.
You are always here in our heart!

Love this, Love Hermoine and David....
beautiful artist, we continue to love your dream. RIP
I miss David so much. Loved hearing this beautiful song again when I watched Sex Education the other day (20 Sept 21).
David always looked a decade younger than he actually was - even at 20 he looked about 10😂
Enjoying this trip down memory lane. It's a long way down the lane but wonderful. Takes me back to a double album 'Images' I bought. Favourite track 'Silly Boy Blue'. Marvellous.
Huh...hearing his voice makes me happy too.
Tnx for the upload 👍
I can't stop crying!
3 years in and I still haven’t got over his death. R.I.P Mr. Bowie.

The width, breadth, the immenseness of his talent is out of this world. wow.
Thank you for posting.
Everyone has a dream, I wish they come true for everyone too. 🌠

Holy shit, I'm a big bowie fan but didn't know this song until sex education xD.

A color music video, from sometime in the 60s?? Wow!!! He was always ahead of his time!
MY FAV BOWIE....HELPED MY GET OVER A BROKEN HEART....WHEN VERY YOUNG
Have read about this video but never saw it before. Thank you for posting! Love the slightly demented/creepy lyrics, which turn what initially sounds like a swoony love song into something more ironic and self-aware. It is impressive how early he was putting his own twist on his art.
Beautiful song. 🖤
So much more to come missing you Mr Jones

Whatever plane of existence you're in now, it's been made better by your presence. #BowieForever 🙌🏼👨🏻🎤👩🏻🎤
Well said!
Its like living a dream seeing him again
Bowie's debut album is beautiful and in my opinion one of his very best. Why he tried to disown this album and never performed anything from it live after his breakthrough in '72 is beyond me.
i miss this man so much. he got me through many hard times and i wish i could've met him to thank him.
Most excellent!
Absolutely love this one. x

"When I Live My Dream"
David Bowie #DavidBowie
When I live my dream, I'll take you with me
Riding on a golden horse
We'll live within my castle, with people there to serve you
Happy at the sound of your voice
Baby, I'll slay a dragon for you
Or banish wicked giants from the land
But you will find, that nothing in my dream can hurt you
We will only love each other as forever
When I live my dream
When I live my dream, I'll forgive the things you've told me
And the empty man you left behind
It's a broken heart that dreams, it's a broken heart you left me
Only love can live in my dream
I'll wish, and the thunder clouds will vanish
Wish, and the storm will fade away
Wish again, and you will stand before me while the sky will paint an overture
And trees will play the rhythm of my dream
When I live my dream, please be there to meet me
Let me be the one to understand
When I live my dream, I'll forget the hurt you gave
Then we can live in our new land
Till the day my dream cascades around me
I'm content to let you pass me by
Till that day, you'll run to many other men
But let them know it's just for now
Tell them that I've got a dream
And tell them you're the starring role
Tell them I'm a dreaming kind of guy
And I'm gonna make my dream
Tell them I will live my dream
Tell them they can laugh at me
But don't forget your date with me
When I live my dream
Hello, nice video and content. Rip David bowie. Xoxo huge fan 😎
He lived his dream.
So beautiful! I’d gladly be one of your servants in your castle!
I loved it,I miss you Legend!💙💙💙
I never heard this song! But there's so much about Bowie I don't know I'm 15yo! My grandparents loved Bowie!
I Love You, David. ❤
