2023 Just had my beautiful family here This man had such an influence on my life since the 70’s And now Lol 😂 my 3 year old grandson knows almost all of David’s songs & runs around singing them lol 😂 I’m not so well But I’m looking forward to seeing him again soon , Happy new year everyone
Every time I'm listening this song, my heart cries. No, it's not that he left us, but the fact that we'll never hear from him again. He left us all such an incredible legacy that we are privileged to have lived with him at the same time. Yes, my heart cries, because I still miss him ...
@@PeppermintPatties You know, I'd give anything to know that he made heaven his stage. He is said to have written the most beautiful love songs for his wife, a song about the moon for their daughter and a song about happiness for his son. When I close my eyes, I hear him singing. Timeless like an angel...
This Song carry's me away it's Heartwrenching ~ The Drama of the Piano 🎶 the Voice so overwelming David Bowie a Gamestone what will shine forever 🎶💦🌹🎶🌹💦🎶
I hope I speak for many I've never met him but he had such a pull in my life. I can say in one way so many loved Bowie as if he was standing face to face with you everyday. I hope he has seen now how much he meant to so many that never got to see a concert or meet him. Ashes to Ashes, Starman.
I did meet him, once only, in 1987 in Manchester England. The meeting was at the Midland hotel after the first night of his Glass Spider show at Maine Road Football Ground. My wife and I, along with two friends were at the same hotel. David was gracious and welcoming. A true star a true gent6.
I met and spoke to him in 1990 when he first played in Rio. I was a young reporter and got the prestigious assignment because everyone knew I was a huge fan and was well informed to be in the press conference and write about the concerts. He was not as tall as he always seemed to be in pictures and films, but grew in stature by the minute with his dandy ways and clever remarks. When he died, I felt as if I had lost a close relative, for he had been such a great presence and reference in my life since the late 70s.
@@PB.JACKSON I grew up listening to him as an Army Brat in Germany back in 1976 I was 16 years old now I'm 60 and do miss him. There will never be another David Bowie he was daring and so cool so ahead of his time. Keep hoping we will find some Low and Heroes tracks that never were heard.
Desperations' other side is a kind of grace.Never complete without you. A group of very loving people is like a work in progress. Never forget that you were aleady written in in the book of life.We love you D. Your flowerfamily.🎡🌦🎠
David Bowie is the only one who managed to combine the richness of pop with genuine drama! .. it is timeless and shines above the firmament like the sun, sometimes dark, sometimes light .. always changing, and always himself. It is ... unique.
There you have it people, you have just witnessed the single most important and influential life there will ever be in music. Take a fucking bow lad, you showed them all how it's done!! RIP
All the times I saw Bowie, I never thought I would hear him play this song…..but he did at the hollywood palladium some 20 years ago…I couldnt believe it….one of my favorites…..this version is sublime…
I've been lucky to have seen him over 35 times and he always just amazed me...So glad I 'found' him way back in 1969....it's never enough time listening to his music, his amazing voice, his stage presence....I had the absolute pleasure of meeting him twice at his invitation....what a gracious, charming, funny and warm person David was....I guess I feel lucky to have been on the planet at the same time he was...Rest In Peace David....you are missed so terribly much....
David Bowie's official website brought me here. I hadn't heard this version before. His voice, his singing; just sublime. Yes, his voice, apart from being absolutely unique, is the most expressive voice I know. He sure know how to use it, in versatile ways. Growing up with Bowie and not understanding the English language those first years, really makes me appreciate how he conveys emotions and feelings with it.
Por favor, qué hermosura. Cuando él partió estaba en casa de una amiga, ella estaba en navegando e la web cuando me comentó que David había fallecido. Sentí una gran angustia, se iba un poeta, un hombre que había visto e interpretado al mundo de una forma diferente y que me convocaba con sus letras y sus videos. Nunca pude verlo, soy de Argentina, y cuando él vino a mi país yo apenas nacía (1990) o era muy pequeña (1997). Sin embargo, cuando conocí su música, sus interpretaciones, su puesta en escena, me pareció que había descubierto un tesoro, es ese tipo de sensación que uno experimenta solo en los albores de su jueventud. Larga vida al duque. ❤❤🖤🖤
Will miss your amazing voice, your smile everything about you. Loved you since 1970 to now. I cry everyday. A legend forever and ever. now your free like the bluebird 😭💔
Much better version than the 1997 GQ show version which was overly produced. This version is great. Voice was excellent and you can tell Bowie was emotionally connected to the song. Almost makes you want to cry thinking of him not here.
like a fine aged wine. this song matured so deliciously... I don't want a funeral. I want a drinking party after my death. Play this one at the end of the night, pls. Then you can all go home...
+İhsan Cem “Jim” Onur The way he sings this version: My death waits like an old roué So confident I'll go his way Whistle to him and the passing time My death waits there like a bible truth At the funeral of my youth Weep loud for that and the passing time My death waits like a witch at night As surely as our love is bright Let's not think about the passing time But what ever lies behind the door There is nothing much to do Angel or devil, I don't care For in front of that door, there is you My death waits like a beggar blind Who sees this world through an unlit mind Throw him a dime for the passing time My death waits there to allow my friends A few good times before it ends Yeah, let's drink to that and the passing time My death waits there between your thighs Your cool fingers will close my eyes Oh let's not think about the passing time But what ever lies behind the door There is nothing we can do Angel or devil, I don't care For in front of that door, there is you My death waits there among the leaves In magicians' mysterious sleeves Rabbits, dogs and the passing time My death waits there among the flowers Where the blackest shadow cowers We'll pick lilacs for this passing time My death waits there in our double bed Sails of oblivion at my head Pull up the sheets against the passing time But what ever lies behind the door There is nothing much to do Angel or devil, I don't care For in front of that door, there is you
@@jeankulig8399 me too. he sang this song so differently in the 1970s, for me the song almost has a different meaning in the 1995 version vs the 1970s version
Speechless! Amazing interpretation of the song! David's voice mingles so beautifully with Garson's piano performance! Thank you so much for posting this!!!
". . . But whatever lies behind the door, there is nothing much to do. Angel or Devil... I don't care, for in front of that door there is David Bowie . . ."

If anyone else is like me, and had to wait to grieve for Bowie, because something even WORSE in a personal way, like my husband of 7 years suddenly left me only one week before Bowie Died, join me in a crying session that hurts worse now than any sadness I felt over my dumb-ass husband. He was nothing even remotely close to being ANYTHING like Bowie!!!! Hey, sometimes we can't help who we love. But Bowie, I got Scary Monsters when I was 13 years old. My cool uncle gave it to me and I played it day and night on my record player/stereo. At the time i was listening most likely to what my very young step-mom listened to in the early eighties. Carol King, Cat Stevens, Bread and stuff from the seventies. Before that it was 6-8 grade R&R Van Halen Diver Down, Rush, Pink Floyd The Wall, Led Zeppelin that brown album you put water on and it went to color... stuff my sister listened to. Before that, My fifth grade favorite The Bee Gees' SGT. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band (the Beatles' Covers,) Donna Summers and other disco. So David Bowie was very new and different. He changed my life. I became different, individualized myself and cherished that suddenly I realized how regular everyone else was. I LONGED TO BE STRANGE and after I heard earlier stuff I got it all little by little! I never went much Beyond Scary MOnsters. I loved his old stuff and vowed not to go forward. I didn't like one song of new stuff and i'd ignore the whole album. Black Star esp. the video scares the shit out of me. Should I now venture north of 1980? At least I can take one more step toward my decision and begin grieving my loss of my VERY favorite musician EVER. Song writer, EVER. singer too... and more oh he was gorgeous. much more. words are not doing justice. not even close.
Blackstar is very, very human. I wouldn't even say spiritual as I don't find it religious. Live and feel something, don't let negative vibes get you down- we are all loved by someone.
Waters of oblivion... momentary consolations... pull up the sheets, like when, as to children, the ploy to protect oneself by the shadows of the unknown, angel or devil does not care... One of the most melancholy poems in music, by the great Belgian songwriter Brel (with Shuman), translated into English and in… Pure Art by David Bowie, celestial Cantor of the Time. This is superb edition, as well as the author of the channel. Thanks wholeheartedly, dear Marianna.
Just Wow! I could listen to that endlessly ~ takes me to another dimension. #lovelovelove that man Thank you Mike for sharing and playing so spiritually with him
Sung at the height of his powers, I think. I think if you gave DB a stick, a rock, and some mud, he'd find a way to make music and fantasy and sheer power out of all of it. This is gorgeous music, with piano and lyrics in perfect harmony. (Credit Mike Garson, piano; David Bowie, RIP)
Quick reminder that God will never put weight on your shoulders that He knows you can’t handle. Whatever your going through just be patient and see why God made you wait. It may be hard but it’s all worth it 💫.

The way he sings this version:

So confident I'll go his way
Whistle to him and the passing time
My death waits there like a bible truth
At the funeral of my youth
Weep loud for that and the passing time
My death waits like a witch at night
As surely as our love is bright
Let's not think about the passing time
But what ever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or devil, I don't care
For in front of that door, there is you
My death waits like a beggar blind
Who sees this world through an unlit mind
Throw him a dime for the passing time
My death waits there to allow my friends
A few good times before it ends
Yeah, let's drink to that and the passing time
My death waits there between your thighs
Your cool fingers will close my eyes
Oh let's not think about the passing time
But what ever lies behind the door
There is nothing we can do
Angel or devil, I don't care
For in front of that door, there is you
My death waits there among the leaves
In magicians' mysterious sleeves
Rabbits, dogs and the passing time
My death waits there among the flowers
Where the blackest shadow cowers
We'll pick lilacs for this passing time
My death waits there in our double bed
Sails of oblivion at my head
Pull up the sheets against the passing time
But what ever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or devil, I don't care
For in front of that door, there is you

One of the best songs David Bowie ever sang! Just absolutely beautiful. Could listen to it on and on...! Thanks for sharing this magnificent piece!
The best My death perfomance after Hammersmith Odeon in 1973. And like two utterly different persons are singing. :)
@William White I did! The great one as well. Though this one is somehow uniquely intimate, like he sings to himself and no audience around.
Absolutely fantastic. Very very moving. Bowie at his best.
Such a beautiful and emotional song, outstanding performance
OMG
Heartbreakingly beautiful and brilliant. Isn't that just like Bowie.
we still Miss U Bowie
Amazing gem of music.. breathtaking performance..
So brave,so truthful, so honestly sung. Love is forever. My Death turned out to be a chance to be reborn a child of peace. Xoxo
Best version I've heard. Wonderful.
His death was way too soon. He still had so much more beautiful work in him.
+wisconsindonna Yes! Such a great loss for the world!!!
but.....his Death would be anytime too early, even in a dekade..............what a great lost..........
Yes, I reckon so. He would have just kept on making stunning songs
Goodbye wonderful David.
We will miss your presence on this piece of rock.
OMG! end of such an era, now this really is making me cry : (
So beautiful rendition of this song. Thank you, Mr. Bowie, for all you gave us in your life...

Beautiful .
Thank you for posting . David Bowie News picked it up for clip of the day. It leaves me breathless.
Sublime 💎
Just superb.
Great rendition... Bowie's vocal is pure & exceptionally interpretive, just as we loved it thru the years
If anyone else is like me, and had to wait to grieve for Bowie, because something even WORSE in a personal way, like my husband of 7 years suddenly left me only one week before Bowie Died, join me in a crying session that hurts worse now than any sadness I felt over my dumb-ass husband. He was nothing even remotely close to being ANYTHING like Bowie!!!! Hey, sometimes we can't help who we love. But Bowie, I got Scary Monsters when I was 13 years old. My cool uncle gave it to me and I played it day and night on my record player/stereo. At the time i was listening most likely to what my very young step-mom listened to in the early eighties. Carol King, Cat Stevens, Bread and stuff from the seventies. Before that it was 6-8 grade R&R Van Halen Diver Down, Rush, Pink Floyd The Wall, Led Zeppelin that brown album you put water on and it went to color... stuff my sister listened to. Before that, My fifth grade favorite The Bee Gees' SGT. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band (the Beatles' Covers,) Donna Summers and other disco. So David Bowie was very new and different. He changed my life. I became different, individualized myself and cherished that suddenly I realized how regular everyone else was. I LONGED TO BE STRANGE and after I heard earlier stuff I got it all little by little! I never went much Beyond Scary MOnsters. I loved his old stuff and vowed not to go forward. I didn't like one song of new stuff and i'd ignore the whole album. Black Star esp. the video scares the shit out of me. Should I now venture north of 1980? At least I can take one more step toward my decision and begin grieving my loss of my VERY favorite musician EVER. Song writer, EVER. singer too... and more oh he was gorgeous. much more. words are not doing justice. not even close.

Without a doubt the BEST version I've ever heard of this great song! Thanks so much for uploading it, is a very much cherished gem!
Just beautiful.
Just Wow! I could listen to that endlessly ~ takes me to another dimension. #lovelovelove that man Thank you Mike for sharing and playing so spiritually with him
A song written by Belgian Jacques Brel. As a great admirer of these two giants. All I can add is here's to you, Starman! Salut, Grand Jacques!!!
English lyric by Mort Shuman.
Sung at the height of his powers, I think. I think if you gave DB a stick, a rock, and some mud, he'd find a way to make music and fantasy and sheer power out of all of it. This is gorgeous music, with piano and lyrics in perfect harmony. (Credit Mike Garson, piano; David Bowie, RIP)
Stunning.
If I could I would like this 100000000 times :)
sigh...still miss you ...
R.I.P. David Bowie. Such a lost.
Just beautiful
The voice takes me back to a lad in sane thanks .
Quick reminder that God will never put weight on your shoulders that He knows you can’t handle. Whatever your going through just be patient and see why God made you wait. It may be hard but it’s all worth it 💫.
