It's looping, so It takes away from the moment, spoils the beauty of the synth, and becomes aggravating and over-played for several minutes. Try watching a live version for some quality 'unique' extension. This extension ruined the song for me
This song takes me back to the winter of 1979. Huge amounts of snow in Virginia. I was twenty years old. Fighting my way out of a bad depression. I was driving one snowy morning in my Datsun 510. The song came on the AM radio. Struck me in such a strange way. And made me feel a little better. Thanks, Dave.
Mystical, Hypnotic, Psychedelic an amazing piece of Art if I could go back in time 150yrs and show people what music will sound like in the 1980s imagine their reaction pure wonderment.
i heard this as a young child & it just blew me away. It was so futuristic & sonically beautiful. Forty plus years later & none of its haunting quality or impact has been lost. What a genius Bowie was!! I love this extended mix, its brilliant! wish it could last forever!!! 💯🌟
Good version. I remember years ago I'd just broken up with my girlfriend, packed my stuff and had to get a bus to the other side of the country to see my brother because his was the only door open to me. Anyway, I was sitting at the back, looking out the window, feeling alone and listening to this. It was at the part of the song where he starts thing "My mother said to get things done..." and I saw these horses running over the top of a hill. And in that moment I felt so isolated. Like I might as well have been on Mars, watching strange alien horses cross a Martian dune. Your extended mix of that part brought it all back. Major Tom Syndrome, I called it after that.
Wow!! Never heard this extended verison and it's my top 3 Bowie songs!!! I hate to say it but I love YT cuz growing up in the 70s, this was before VCR s and MTV didn't air until 1980 so finding music and videos that I've never seen is like the holy grail!!🌠🎉🎈
Remixing this song is impossible.. yeah yeah we can all mix the lyrics and loop the background. Reading the comments everyone agrees you've done the best mix.. The ending is and has always been the best bit, most moving piece of music ive heard and its ends way to soon. No one has ever done a mix of that bit because its to hard.... until now! YOU NAILED IT!! Really nice work fella.. Well done and thank you.. Such a shame Bowie ended it where it did, modern classical music, way ahead of its time, and to be honest, timeless.. Great choice..
thank you so much for your kind words....when you've had a crap day and then return home to a lovely comment like that it really makes my day....thank you for the comment :)
@@rwb1768 Indeed so excellent !!! Three melodies stringing together on a funky bass ... thank you so much for this. If you are happy to read this after a moody day, I get into my day better listening to this after a sleepless night...
🎼🎵🎶🔊Grr8 Ultra Extended Song!! I went jogging with this & went an extra mile & I'm 66yrs. old. Even played it over to 🆒 down. Thank You! RW B! Hope this stays on UA-cam 4Ever!! 😊💕✨ Will tell My Family & Friends, also put a LIKE (#266).
I was only 7 years old when it was on MTV and it still captured my full attention! I didn't understand anything, I didn't understand English, I didn't understand who major Tom was, but I remember the tremendous impression left on me by those strange sounds and the old woman in the clip who walks with the hallucinatory and sad clown .... From that day on I feel the same way when I hear the tremendous gift that was left for us humens by the gifted alien David Bowie. You are being missed very much ❤
I left the David Bowie Is Exhibit (final days) celebrating/mourning the talent and bigger than life personality of David Bowie. An iconoclast who brought the off-beat into the mainstream, he never shied away from being different. Long live the legacy of this extraordinary individual.
What an amazing piece of music when it gets emotional. Bowie was a true artist but fair play to who ever you are that made this beautiful loop you've captured the best part of this song. Xxx
This is an extraordinarily fine job of work. I was a Bowie fanatic years prior to Scary Monsters, and having loved “Ashes to Ashes” passionately since the day the single debuted, I was completely uninterested in any unofficial remixing. I was practically forced to give this a chance by a friend to whom I’m truly grateful. It’s amazing to hear myself saying it, but I love what you’ve done! And if you’re not a professional audio engineer, you might want to reconsider you choice of career. I have one tiny quibble, and I hope you won’t mind if I ask about it. Why did you omit the stunning sound of Major Tom “roaring,” (as I can only describe it)? Again, top flight work! Thanks for sharing it with us.
El solo del synth es la cosa más bella y triste, como cuando lloras de alegría/alivio o después de un día muy jodido alguien es amable contigo y te rompes en ese momento
It was there all the time wasn't it ..... just needed someone to bring it out into the light .... Thank you so much for doing this. Pretty sure that he would have approved too.
Somebody did a SPECTACULAR job with this remix. I used it in one of my projects and have listened to it maybe 100 times. It is just tremendous. WELL DONE & thank you!!!
So great! Thank you for this extended version! The last part of this song transcends into a metamorphosis like frequency! It is my favorite songs of all time, and the last section introduces another world! This made me a subscriber instantly! 💗🙏👍💛🌄🌌💜
One of Bowies best singles. Incredible that although it quickly got to the top of the UK charts, even with the superb video this failed to chart in the USA.
The end of the song which fishing off with the synthesizer - being extended is absolutely magic - love it RW B you have nailed it, best REMIX. Thank you.
This is one of my (if not the) favorite songs from Bowie, but I always felt the ending was a bit too short. It's great to hear this, specially with the Space Oddity parallels!
one of the best pieces of music ever written, especially the ending. The only thing that can match it is Beethovens Ode to joy. Pure genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah i agree, this song totally stood out to me...so i decided to extend the synth ending...i love it...thanks for the comments Steve, i appreciate it :)
yeah this is pretty sweet! I dig me some Bowie! and no problem, you have some pretty cool stuff posted here. so since you are extending these (which is good work by the way) explain to me your background in editing music. do you record music as well?
haha i wish. I just have my likes and dislikes. Its more of a personal hobby of mine. I also do personal visual music trailers...which basially is editing footage of a series i like and blending it with music...it takes time and patience but from what i've heard the end result is great :D
Just found your channel and I'm absolutely loving it, and this song is brilliant so to find you have made my favourite part last longer is like a dream come true ❤
The synth ending is amazing and I’ve always wanted it to go on forever, well here you go.
I love that part the most. Idiot DJ's always talk over it when it is played on the radio!
@@philiphalpenny3783exactly, it spoils the beauty of this masterpiece when they don't play it in it's entirety.

You might be a few months out. It wasn't recorded until the following year.
@@trebleking1641 bowie's music is timeless
78/79 26 inches in Maryland ... week off school !
cheese and rice.....it even snowed in va bch.......this song went with nuclear scare and winter.....
It was released 1 August 1980 in the UK. So a little early.
Brilliant - always wanted this song to be longer
Me too
The greatest!
One of the best synth solo i have never ear...amazing.
Mystical, Hypnotic, Psychedelic an amazing piece of Art if I could go back in time 150yrs and show people what music will sound like in the 1980s imagine their reaction pure wonderment.
Can this just go on forever ?

"My mama said to get things done, you'd better not mess with Major Tom," I could listen to that for ever :)
Regardless of length - original or this...... Bowie was so superb, one of a kind, beyond. This one of his unparalleled best. Thank you!!
Goosebumps at the extended synth solo...

Eleven minutes twenty seven seconds of pure listening pleasure.

Marionette costume is perfection and so is your pose.😁
Bowie's best track true classic spanning over decades true genius

I was there too.Amazing is too small a word to describe it.😊😊😊
My mama said...around the world around the world.
Forever.

Can this just go on forever ?
Wow, great work, I love it. Excellent sound. My favorite song.

Bowie the BEST BY A MILLION MILES
So great! Thank you for this extended version! The last part of this song transcends into a metamorphosis like frequency! It is my favorite songs of all time, and the last section introduces another world! This made me a subscriber instantly! 💗🙏👍💛🌄🌌💜
One of Bowies best singles. Incredible that although it quickly got to the top of the UK charts, even with the superb video this failed to chart in the USA.
The very best remix on UA-cam. Superb. Well done.
Nicely done, my friend. The best part of the song is a song itself.
Bowie was a student of "leave them wanting more", school.
The end of the song which fishing off with the synthesizer - being extended is absolutely magic - love it RW B you have nailed it, best REMIX. Thank you.
This is one of my (if not the) favorite songs from Bowie, but I always felt the ending was a bit too short. It's great to hear this, specially with the Space Oddity parallels!

Beautiful, brings back so many memories.

FANTASTIC JOB DONE ......From A producer who knows and respects Good work
This is a brilliant remix. The last bit of the song is the best part so to listen to it again and again is so fulfilling
BEAUTIFUL.
Tremenda versión!!!! De culto... Forever 80's... Saludos de Chile...
Bowie siempre y por siempre
Fantastic rare mix. I Love You
haha the feeling is more than mutual lol :)
Fucking. Perfect....
Completely Mesmerizing 🍷👍🍷
Very good! Very, very good!!!! Well done!
...last 4 minutes are EPIC!!!!!
Great 👍👍👍.Great graphics too.I saw that actual costume (and many others) at the Brooklyn Museum exhibit last year.
This is one of his hardest songs to remix...you did well.
WOOOOWWWWW...........Pure space rock
So futuristic when came out on 70's. Well done job! Love it a lot!
Perfect
Very cleverly remixed. Great job
thanks man, really appreciate your kind words :)
Stunning!!!
My all time fav💜 This is pure art ❤💞💎
one of the best pieces of music ever written, especially the ending.
The only thing that can match it is Beethovens Ode to joy.
Pure genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love to see what a rapper would do with this song...love to check it out😂
Yeah BB..Eminem raps Ashes to Ashes 😂
Best bowie intro ever
This is a beautiful contrast to Space Oddity's outro.
thank you, glad you liked it :)
Música maravilhosa que me traz uma sensação de nostalgia me faz viajar ,amo essa música demais.
One of the 1st tunes I go to when Im on the jukebox in my local pub.
one of the best remixes that I've ever heard. ya ultra is right...
This is the nuts ❤❤
11:27 of a pure gem from the beginning to the end💎💎 brillant ✨
Nice job on this! I always wanted to hear an extended version of the outro and you did awesome! Thank you!
I'd just like to remind, that you've done a piece of great job. That's what we all needed. Thanks!
Masterpiece!
Love it - perfect- thank you!
Well done! Now to the other 750 songs... ;)
