this song was about his friend marc bolan...they had a love hate relationship but what a pair of legends..lady stardust was marc bolan..two legends now gone,but their music will be forever..r,i,p my heroes.
This songs makes me cry inside because it was written for Marc Bolan,my biggest idol. I kinda identify myself with Marc due to the fragile personality. Marc looked so confident but deep inside he was very sensitive. I know it because he really felt very bad when T. Rex stopped having that huge success that they had in 1971-1972. He was quite depressed and fell into the cocaine addiction,he even said "Glam Rock is dead" in an interview. That was very painful because the father of Glam Rock announced its death,the death of something that he created and didn't last long. But for our luck Bowie,Sparks,Suzi Quatro,Slade,Hello,Racey and others kept Glam Rock alive for a while.
Please, forget the image and listen to the music. It's not about glam, which lasted a couple of years, it's about Bolan's music. Something he created that still influences music to this day!
While we are lucky to have so many photos and clips of Bowie's performances, we are really fortunate that people like you Mr Sussex are so skilled and devoted to bringing back the best in a coherent form. Thankyou.
If it’s not sad enough.. I wasn’t sure if it was for Marc Bolan, who I was so crazy about, both his music and gorgeous looks. Between Bowie and Bolan, I am so sad sometimes. What losses to this lonely world, both great 👍artists that will ever be replaced😿✌️👼
People stared at the makeup on his face Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace The boy in the bright blue jeans Jumped up on the stage And lady stardust sang his songs Of darkness and disgrace And he was alright, the band was all together Yes he was alright, the song went on forever And he was awful nice Really quite out of sight And he sang all night long Femme fatales emerged from shadows To watch this creature fair Boys stood upon their chairs To make their point of view I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey Lady stardust sang his songs Of darkness and dismay Oh how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name Though they was alright, the band was all together Yes he was alright, and the song went on forever He was awful nice Really quite paradise He sang all night long
this was the first song I listened to after he passed away. this song still makes me tear up when I hear it. while Bowie may have been thinking of someone else when writing this song, it clearly describes Bowie to a T.
He wrote this song about Marc Bolan actually, the song kinda sounds like a memorial to Marc nowadays because it's a balled with reminiscing like lyrics and Marc tragically died in 1977 when he was the passenger in a car accident when he was in the middle of orchestrating his comeback. The lyrics, "his song went on forever" really emphasizes the impact he made on rock during the early 70s that would carry for generations.
david bowie and marc bolan were the biggest stars of the early 70,s and they were good friends from before they became famous..its great that bowie payed homage to his friend in lady stardust.it was a shame marc bolan died so young..a great talent lost and him and bowie were just starting to do songs together. i.e sanding next to you when marc fell of the stage during the marc show....who knows what the finished version would have been like.the songs them to legends could have made would have been classics. two friends...two legends...rest in peace guys..love always.
It’s crazy if one thinks about it. ANY one else who died at 69, would’ve been graciously grieved and had The typical out-pour of what would be that persons sorta check-out from this world, and flowers, cards and other pleasantries would be left, in showing their support for their demise. However...with Bowie- NOBODY was wanting to accept it, they felt as ho how could he have left us when he seemed as tho he was still an active part of us?! We all just still miss the crap out of him and can’t believe he’s been gone for 2.5yrs. already. The world seems like it has a huge void with/o him. I’ve never heard of this type of mass outpouring of love and despair over the loss of him. He was truly so special. I can’t believe he’s gone and I think we also lost one of the last true geniuses of our time. He had a wide, mass knowledge of just about everything and was absolutely a “giver” AND A DOER... any chance he could. The world sure is a lot dimmer w/o him 😢. He’ll always be the one and only- Starman.😢🙏🏻✝️😇
Very well said and your very right their was something very different with bowie than the others one thing he was,'t greedy like a lot of rock stars and so down to earth in all ways you here so many good storys of bowie and am proud people thought that way of him and he's been 47yrs in my life and a miss him.to me he is just taking a long break away thats the way my heart wants the think.he was one of a kind like you said.steve
bowie and bolan my all time heroes..r.i.p the magic you both give me as a teenage can never be replaced...i wish the generation of today had guys like you to get inspired too. good fun rock,n roll..thanks for making my teenage years a blast
Seeing this just reminds me of how incredibly attractive David was as Ziggy Stardust! Mr Sussex! Thank you! Yet again you make this genius shine in all his glory, and with such panache! Well done you! Heartfelt gratitude and love to you. A smiling John Harris Xxx
bowie helped me in the toughest points of my life where i was in doubt of my own identity and gender. safe to say two-three years later, this song has been a comforting hug to me, compared to back then where i was crying with tremendous guilt and confusion. thank you bowie for helping me to find peace, im forever in debted to you
Thank you, just beautiful, at the beginning when David stares at the camera through the mirror, awwww, my heart, those gorgeous eyes shown as only he saw them.
Sussex I don't know how this song don't have an official video. But for me this really deserves to be the official version And of course this is a very rarely live played song so it gives it a special value. Thanks for this edit and footage
Happy Birthday dearest David ~ So beautiful. The beginning footage of him preparing his forehead is visual poetry. Thank you so much for all your artistic work on these amazing pieces.
We were all young once. Please remember me when the Lowery store blared through the mall and somewhere someone played the Capt. Fantastic Bally machine all night long. Dave I miss you like missing a digit. ⚡️⚡️#RIPCLASSOF74
i got soo emotional with this lyrics, it describes my soul in my happy times wen i am having fun with someone i love in that moment "and he was alright... "
Awesome ... Great work ...Thanks so much ... One that I always wanted to see David perform live. The album version on Ziggy is one of the best songs on the greatest album ever recorded IMO.
the piano at the beginning is one of the simplest but most beautiful sounds ive ever heard. ily so much david, rest in peace wherever your space ship flew
Thank you Mister Sussex for your footages. Lady stardust is a masterpiece and your video and David's performance are deeply in my heart. This is the most beautiful video on youtube.com. God bless us. Paola in Roma, Italy.(i'm sorry for my bad english writing)
At first my favorite songs in this album was Five Years and Moonage Daydream. Now Lady Stardust is my favorite, especially David’s voice when he sings “to make their point of viewwwwooo...” 1:24 and “I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey” a line with so much weight!
@@1183newman And Bolan's last performance was with Bowie on Marc's British TV show (It's here on UA-cam). Bolan was the worse for drugs and fell off the stage. He died in a car crash just days later.
Bravo bravo mr. sussex! I can't stop to see your footages and I'm waiting for a new one. Sorry for my english, but I'm italian... and I live in Roma, in my house where I've painted 27 David's portraits. God bless you. Paola
Such a wonderful gifted man. So glad i am living in the same generation as him. The kids today really dont know what they have missed. We will never have a person like this again he was our starman.
Ziggy saved my life. Only Bowie people would understand this.
his works saved mine too
Helped me see through the darkness in such a bad era of my life
You re not alone.
Me too, my friend
i understand
One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.
by one of the most beautiful men every created :p

My absolute favorite Bowie song. It totally encompasses what he was about back at that time. Miss him now
absolutely
RIP David Bowie. One of the greatest men to have ever lived.
He’s still with us just not in physical form anymore in spirit form now.
Greatest musician not men. Greatest men include all the men who went to war
❤ ilove this song actually the entire album❤ miss David.
While we are lucky to have so many photos and clips of Bowie's performances, we are really fortunate that people like you Mr Sussex are so skilled and devoted to bringing back the best in a coherent form. Thankyou.
Amazing
Not alone..
🥰
Amen!
Thank You Mr Sussex. ❤️X
Beautiful 🖤🍻☮🔮💙🧡
My favourite Bowie song, Lady Stardust. Gina.
Makes me cry, such a beautiful song for Marc Bolan
This song is more like reggae here but don't get me wrong. It's beautiful 👍👍👍👍

@wendywinters4734 that's Marc on that screen you see in back if Bowie during the song❤
halloween 2022, still the most perfect being whom ever existed.....
Femme fatales emerged from shadows to watch this creature…
People stared at the makeup on his face
Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace
The boy in the bright blue jeans
Jumped up on the stage
And lady stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and disgrace
And he was alright, the band was all together
Yes he was alright, the song went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite out of sight
And he sang all night long
Femme fatales emerged from shadows
To watch this creature fair
Boys stood upon their chairs
To make their point of view
I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey
Lady stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and dismay
Oh how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name
Though they was alright, the band was all together
Yes he was alright, and the song went on forever
He was awful nice
Really quite paradise
He sang all night long
Oh yeah
its about marc bolan
Love that song......
Ohhhh I thought it was “up all night” not “awfully nice”. Thanks
Hogwash

My favourite Bowie song
God I miss him being on our planet...maybe catch up later ...♥️
I miss those nights at the Glasgow Apollo with Ronno by his side. RIP starman
Great work as always Mr. Sussex! ...We all appreciate your hard work on preserving historic Bowie footage!
Beautiful piano work by Mick Ronson
It's hard to pick a favourite Bowie composition, but this might well be it for me.
Bowie's love for Marc Bolan of T REX. Bolan was "Lady Stardust".
Omg T.Rex!? Thank you! I never knew this (:
rip bolan rip bowie
@@alexspsychedelicchannel2521 the song was originally called a song for marc..long before marcs death
They knew each other since 1964, there was a rumoured relationship between the two.
@@1183newman And Bolan's last performance was with Bowie on Marc's British TV show (It's here on UA-cam). Bolan was the worse for drugs and fell off the stage. He died in a car crash just days later.
David Bowie era un extraterrestre un alieno, come lo siamo anche tutti noi, tutti noi veniamo dalle stelle.
sublime bowie
The Man of many great talents! Thank U for the great creation, which is your music...
Three years have passed. Happy Birthday and R.I.P.
