I ran out into the night right after an Iggy show at the Harvard Square theater in 1977. I was alone in front of the theater on Mass. Ave. A limo pulled around the corner and stopped at the traffic light in front of me. I knew. I ran up to it and knocked on the smokey windows. And then....then....Iggy...David Bowie...and Debbie Harry all leaned forward and waved earnestly ....teeth gleaming. The light changed...the limo sped off ....I was alone with that moment no one saw. When I hear " 5 Years", I think of that slow motion dream moment. Only...it was real.
This is my favorite video on UA-cam hands down. I grew up listening to cowboy junkies, fell in love with their sound, and they’re one of the bands that inspired me to do music as a career. And David bowie has had the same profound effect on me. So when I saw this video, I just cried. And listened to it ten, fifteen more times. I need this on an album!!! 💕💕
If you ever have an oppo to see this band live, take it. Theybare super tight and Margo's voice just gets better with age. She's stunning and her stage manner, while humble, is somehow very compelling.
No.How can this have 300k and Bowie's(the real deal!)Dinah Shore version of Five Years has 60k?!It just shows how stupid people are.Check out the Dinah Shore live version it's amazing!
Encore une preuve que les Canadiens (je n'en fais pas partie) ont un don particulier pour le chant et la musique. La meilleure reprise de cette superbe chanson. Bravo
I've watched this about 25 times now. Stuck in my head since it went up 7 weeks ago. It belongs on an album if you can get the releases. Compelling in the extreme.
+Michael Timmins just realized a CJ album of lamenting, ponderous covers, like this one, would be HUGE. You're better now, and bolder than ever. An honest, open-souled, tribute could fill today's hole in song. (I love your personal creations more, but the "fifth member" covers provide adds another dimension, as you know well, and could reach a wider audience.) Your legacy to the Mainstream consists of such, so rather than fight your strengths, just embrace them. Your real fans will still support you unwaveringly, and your kids will go to nice colleges. ;)
Margo is one of the greatest rock singers of her generation. I've even told her so & also added that I wished "more people realized that." Her reply: "So do I."

Love it. Lucky you!
I've realized .... there are simply no words to express how good this is.
As a Bowie fan for 50 years, it's great to hear a band treat a favourite seriously, and do such a good job.
One of those female singers who close their eyes when they sing.
Who are the others?

Your prayers have been answered. New album 25/03/22
They may still be touring too. I was lucky enough to see them at the Birchmere recently. SO GOOD
Why is it that the Best bands/artists, always have the Best taste in Music?
Margo's voice is still hauntingly amazing!
it always is.
Margo ages like fine wine. One of the best renditions of this song out there.
If you ever have an oppo to see this band live, take it.

2023 seems like it was written 4 today God bless DB and the C J s xxx your beautiful x my brain hurts alot *
Brought me to tears.. Of all the Bowie tributes I've heard since his passing, This is at the top...!
Hits me straight in my heart. Margo & The Band fully understands David Bowies emotions here. Bowie would certainly approve this version. Thanks.
Lol..we got a whole lot more than FIVE years....5 by 5 we got a whole lot more...don't let them steal it from you🚮
try the song he sang about his own impending death Lazuras
@@peterlocke1277 Lazarus. A wonderful goodbye from David Bowie. Creative till the very end.
Never thought I'd need so many people x
Never hears of Cowboy Junkies. Big Bowie fan. This rocks. Thank you. Dissapears into the Cowboy Junkies collection...
Hope you’ve heard their Sweet Jane. If not, what a treat, and how different from the original.
Saw them last night!
Her voice just keeps getting better!
Bowie would approve.
But not Woody, I suppose.
No.How can this have 300k
and Bowie's(the real deal!)Dinah Shore version of Five Years has 60k?!It just shows how stupid people are.Check out the Dinah Shore live version it's amazing!
Lou did when they covered him!
thank you cowboy junkies, since 1998 you guys are part of my life, greetings from argentina. margo, your voice is a treasure
LOVE that little electrified Gibson mandolin, out of the 1959 catalog!
The man's a magician with it. The sounds he squeezes out of that is truly amazing
Truly in a class by themselves
Bowie is not easy - wonderful emotional version - bravo
Wow, these guys did this magnificent song proud. I loved it and I'm sure Bowie would too.
Encore une preuve que les Canadiens (je n'en fais pas partie) ont un don particulier pour le chant et la musique. La meilleure reprise de cette superbe chanson. Bravo
Now this is a grand morning.
Thanks CJ's.

Margo is one of the greatest vocalists ever - pure magic
was scrolling down and found this and said
to myself,Self,Margot singing five years might actually be pretty cool.I was not disappointed!
Wow! What a great rendition of Bowie's song. It makes my heart ache.
I've watched this about 25 times now. Stuck in my head since it went up 7 weeks ago. It belongs on an album if you can get the releases. Compelling in the extreme.
Thank you..please share it around...lots more to come.

Ziggy Stardust lives on. R&R lives on.

Margo is simply amazing! Is there any music the Cowboy Junkies can’t cover well? I think not
no
Margo is one of the greatest rock singers of her generation. I've even told her so & also added that I wished "more people realized that." Her reply: "So do I."
Superb cover. Beautiful!
