This song describes Peter Murphy the main singer of Bauhaus’s mundane life where he grew up in Northampton in England. He was a book binder for years and he wanted to get out of that monotonous life in there and he did become a legend. Grandfather of goth, we salute you!!
Being not much younger than Mr. Murphy and his bandmates, and from the same town, even having even closer commonalities, I know very much the tedious drudgery and pressure to conform and suppress your vigour and imagination that place had and probably still has. But it's true of so many places, not just in the UK. Modern life. I got away to an extent, but not fully, you often fall into other traps. Modern life. Sadly there's not too much room for everyone to succeed in a freer, more creative life. Modern economics.
MB Firstly, I've loved this song since the 80s. But, when you actually look at the lyrics, they're about a baker's-dozen long... lol What you're feeling is ALL Peter Murphy's voice, with the perfect nuances of David's bass and Daniel's guitar-effects
Best Bauhaus song without any doubt. This song was my first experience of Bauhaus and it’s still one of the best and saddest songs I’ve ever listened to… .
It's hard to believe I've been on earth this long not knowing about this song and video. It's really a musical and cinematic masterpiece of epic proportion..
This song changes my life every time I whisper it to myself while walking or riding my bike, remembering what a sandwich bar was. First fell in love with it aged about 12. 35 years on ... still in love.
@Touchdown Bundy There is no definitive proof that Bowie had intercourse with Lori Mattix. All we have heard is her word, which hasn’t been too consistent.
@Touchdown Bundy Where’s your proof? All I know is that Bowie refused to partake in a kissing scene in Labirynth because of the age gap between him and Jennifer Connolly.
When my Mum died, nobody called me. When David Bowie died, everybody called me. The next evening, after the news, my daughter said get dressed, we are going out..and her Dad, my ex husband, a man I’ve barely spoken to in 20 years, except about the kids..arrived and picked us up and took us to a special screening of The Man Who Fell To Earth, and played Bowie all the way into the theatre and back, but we didn’t exchange a word. Anyone who knows me just simply knows that as boring, uninteresting and plain as I am, I exist on the Plane of Bowie. Best friend I ever had.
Dear Mortal, i think this is the most magical reworking of a film my small brain ever saw. it brings out so many meanings and connections this song makes me feel in my heart, which is to say my intuition loves what it loves. very special. very special when people do things soooooooooooo well. you beauty. thank you x
Yes, this is terrific. I now implicitly associate this song with the film, which is really odd when watching the actual film while not hearing this song. Thank you so much.
I think the credit for the very unique "look" of this great film goes to Nicholas Roeg. He was both a cinematographer and a director. Some of his cinematographer credits include Truffaut's Farenheit 451 and Far From the Madding Crowd (a great film based on the Thomas Hardy book). Director credits include films such as Performance (with Mick Jagger), Don't Look Now (considered a masterpiece of cinema) and The Witches (based on the book by Roald Dahl). A man who definitely had a unique vision.
This songs helps me get up, and keep pushing through the day. Thanks you so much for uploading it. Bauhaus and Bowie are a perfect combination of perfection. 🖤
A fair comparison in my estimation; both were talented showmen of a high degree, and both were diminished by their Pride. (But we may overlook what God may not. . .) It is interesting that we lost both of them in a single year.
There is... you should just take your time to look in other places other than vevo or bands/artists managed by great corporations. You should also have patience and attention to listen to their words and reflect in the possible meaning, you know... is too easy to say "this is great" when they became known and several analysis have been made...
Yeah culture now is washed up and ghetto. Newretrowave is trying to revive it. Look into it. Drab Majesty, Trevor Something, Electric Youth, George Ergemlidze.👍👍👍👍
This is such a wonderful piece of art, it really made me realize how much I love this man and Bauhaus. Greetings to your galaxy, dear White Duke. You will always be missed 🌠
2020 lockdown got me like... music, music, more music. I need to hear it all, all those making it... I need to hear it. Keeping my sanity, with the soul of sound. All their passion, all of it. May 2021, be a year of hugs, and life more normal, but we will never be in the before time. We are evolving, and it's so hard. All I ever wanted, was everything.
Very beautiful video and song, the comment section perfectly illustrates what I loathe about the world. Many sweet good hearted people appreciating your work and bravely saying what it made them feel or how either the film or song, the artists involved in either, or the pairing of the two affected them. Then the loathesome, petty know it all's and dream crushers with nothing better to do then correct them or tell them they are stupid and their feelings worthless, neither Bowie nor Bauhaus would be impressed and such behavior is neither brave nor of value. Anyways thanks for posting this gem.
Bowie gives us all, his special ones, a little piece of him, rare...unexpected art, music, emotions... I just simply fell in love since the first hearing from him and Bauhaus and all together.. and there's still a lot of room for plenty more like them...
This is life! Nothing more,and nothing less! As a painter! This is much more than I can deliver! It's visual movement and audio! So I guess I sit silent, until Seen by someone or people that can hear from their eyes! and feel the colors which they see! All and all I can relate to the complexity. ❤
Actually my preferred way to see this film. This look of this film is extraordinary, thanks to cinematographer Tony Richmond. The dialogue and other aspects of the film are lackluster as compared to the cinematography. Visuals of Bowie by Richmond with great music played over. Gold.
I want the future to remember the present but also the past. Because after all, i love our world's history, all the things we've been through, creation, until now, forever stuck in every human's mind, we made this world a beautiful place.
Ok, David. This one is only for those who really want to see some of the things they have chosen perhaps to not see. There are many 'not sees' 'not sees' 'not sees' all around these days. What a work of art. We are appreciating how much is expressed here. So much. So deep. So many untold truths. To the ears of babes may it reach some hearts to open the veils over the eyes of some. MKU MKU MKU MKU MKU MKU MKU MKU MKU MKU MKU MKU MKU MKU yes David is beautiful indeed enchantingly so his heart is so
@@themaggattack And peppers. Allegedly he ate those to get as much nutrition as he could with eating less to nothing. Milk has fat and lactose, so sugar too. Idk about peppers that much because I personally despite them, but I guess they are good? Doesn't make it better though. The coke most definitely also had an affect on appetite.
When the man gets thrown out of the window,the flying birds scatter at his moment of contact and end. ALL life is connected and matters. Perfect editing, gorgeous song. Thanks for uploading 💙💫🎶
Bowie’s face and body was like a heavenly android or some kind of very aesthetically appealing Japanese anime character. Son of God he was, perhaps like son of Zeus, half mortal half divine! Bless his soul
A beautifully graphic tribute for the enigmatic David Bowie, one of my favorite aliens and the mesmerizing film, The Man Who Fell To Earth! A fascinating masterpiece almost beyond comprehension, it must be experienced not understood. It is so brutally real, disturbingly so. Amazing video, I love it.
Absolutely brilliant. There are no two things paired more perfectly than Bauhaus and David Bowie, God rest his sweet out. Thank you whoever made this, it's stunning.

lot comments here about david bowie, and not enough bauhaus -pete murphy amazing vocalist
Agree 100%
I think the lesser informed think it is Bowie singing, not Pete Murphy, Daniel Ash and co. They were always my favourite Goth band.
Agreed! Don’t get me wrong I love the man who fell to earth and of course David Bowie but Peter Murphy is incredible! 💯
Nigel Leslie I saw love and rockets at the Greek theater in Berkeley EPIC ! 1986 or 7 🤔 I 🖤 Daniel Ash
I love both of them. Just Peter Murphy never gets the recognition he deserves, his solo work is ... so good!
These lyrics are an universal anthem for avoiding being trapped in a dull life.
MB n
yup
My anthem

Firstly, I've loved this song since the 80s.
But, when you actually look at the lyrics, they're about a baker's-dozen long... lol
What you're feeling is ALL Peter Murphy's voice, with the perfect nuances of David's bass and Daniel's guitar-effects
Too late for me 😢
Bowie's hair is just something that i'll never be able to describe!
she married Mick Ronson (rip)
Different bands. Mott the Hoople, Bad Company. Never in Bauhaus. But Mick has one of the most iconic guitar riffs ever in panic in Detroit.
Mick Ralphs was in Mott and Bad Co, not Ronson. However Mick Ronson did play with Ian Hunter in his solo years. ;)
Mick Ronson was in Mott the Hoople, for a short time
Bless this comment.
One of my favorite Bauhaus songs. Still enjoy hearing it.
So anyway I recognized my son instantly😅
I told my husband if I am ever in a coma, or catatonic, the most likely music to reach me is BAUHAUS. Soundtrack to my youth
I wish you long life i love Bauhaus and thé great iggy
👍
@3:34💪🏽
That is such a goth conversation !
❤️😁
This is a near perfect fusion of sound and vision
I see what you did there :D
"Sound and vision"
@2:33 LMAOOOOO
One of the most beautiful songs written. How I love this.
When you have Thor’s hair, but you have to hide it, because your dad told you we not doing that this time😌
I love Bauhaus so much. Daniel Ash is a very overlooked guitarist and Peter Murphy's voice is unmistakable.
fuck yeah, ash's guitar work is pretty damn cool
My favourite lines of any song,ever,"All we ever wanted was everything, all we ever got was cold".Says it all.
but the lyric is all we ever got was coal, not cold. idiot
@@youtubechannelchannel9363 yeah what a dumbass
bauhaus and the genius bowie.....perfect
Perfect combination
@@lapinkypie666
Anything Bowie made, Bauhaus made it better...
I can't even put into words what I feel when i listen to this but it's so intense and raw. such a masterpiece
Plus, Bowie wearing a Rabbi hat in the end is quite epic.
Just seeing Bowie makes me smile :)
Just seeing Bowie makes me cry
The way that blonde cut her eyes over at him. Completely ignored the person talking to her😅
Best Bauhaus song without any doubt. This song was my first experience of Bauhaus and it’s still one of the best and saddest songs I’ve ever listened to… .
Beautiful. Everything about this is just phenomenal.
I want this played at my funeral...
me too
Aitor Llamazares so do I
i want pretty vacant.
oh Amanda you may be my soul mate so we are `probably a couples of thsaunds miles away
Aitor Llamazares yes, it’s amazing.
A simple beautifully paced masterpiece. Quite extraordinary.
The man who fell to the Earth, David Bowie the man who fell from the space to die like a mortal, but leaving an unforgettable legacy.
I believe it.
Very well put.
He was a celebrity. Stop making gods out of mortals.
Fuckin nerd.
too generic, smoke some more weed
Spookrockcity he is a god now
I so love Bauhaus. Not many people around me know of them is South Africa.
Great! I love both Bowie and Bauhaus. When I moved into my first apartment, I watched this movie seemingly every single day.
I used to have it on VHS. Back in the late 80's-early nineties, I used to watch it every day.
My favourite Bauhaus song : )
It's hard to believe I've been on earth this long not knowing about this song and video. It's really a musical and cinematic masterpiece of epic proportion..

Such a pity that Bowie went back to his own planet.

i can't help but cry when watching this video. bowie was such an amazing person i can't describe it
Peter Murphy is the heir apparent of David! This piece of work is so heartfelt and beautiful! Well done!
I love this song and movie...makes me cry every time. Sometimes I just MUST hear this and see it.
what movie is it??
what movie is it??
"The Man Who Fell to Earth"(1976.)
Mirna Laković Hvala!
Whoever is the director of photography of this 70s movie is pretty damn good at his/her job.
I think the credit for the very unique "look" of this great film goes to Nicholas Roeg. He was both a cinematographer and a director. Some of his cinematographer credits include Truffaut's Farenheit 451 and Far From the Madding Crowd (a great film based on the Thomas Hardy book).

@@onthemarginofgrace You are quite correct!🖤
It's often a coalition of minds, but comparing the mix of people and movies they were on should give some indication.
This songs helps me get up, and keep pushing through the day. Thanks you so much for uploading it. Bauhaus and Bowie are a perfect combination of perfection. 🖤
Excellent !
Thank you for this eye candy. Seeing how great was photography in that movie, plus matching music perfectly.
I can't ever listen to this song without getting it stuck in my head for at least a solid few days.
That acoustic bass...perfect.
David Bowie was a living piece of art. Just like Prince was
Except...discussing them in the same sentence is pathetic...comparing the two is idiotic....
Denny Kemeo your comment is irrational. Go home, you're drunk
Even of his own death he made art
Blackstar...
Prince was a living piece of Arse...Not in Bowies league with his crass sex overcompensation for being a pygmy...
A fair comparison in my estimation; both were talented showmen of a high degree, and both were diminished by their Pride. (But we may overlook what God may not. . .) It is interesting that we lost both of them in a single year.
Happy birthday Peter Murphy! Great music. Thank you
David Bowie was one very attractive man.
And so much more.

Indeed
