      +kevin stark , Hi Kevin, This is the Ist song that put me on to Bowie. I was 17 ( 1980 ) and played it on a local pub jukebox. My older work mates bought me 3 beers in the session.Underage drinking not so strict back then in Australia ( almost looked 18 ). I had heard of the name Bowie so I selected this track. I am not surprised that boys aged 5 to 17 instantly like this masterpiece. I smiled when David said Good Night George near the end of this clip. God Bless you both.

    If I was George I would spend the rest of my life wondering what Bowie was going to say, but never did because of the band starting.

      +veritaseros Probably David called later, as he said. :-)

      @alexakrivos 8 років тому +6

      +veritaseros actrually it is kind of obvious.i think he was surprised that a 5 year old would understand this song.i think that would be his question.why does he like it?probably just the music.

    • @danielscissorhands

    I love the look on Bowie's face when he hears George's voice. Everything disappears: celebrity, rockstardom, arrogance - just an old man humouring a wonderful little kid. Love this so much.

  • @MysticEnforce
    @MysticEnforce 10 років тому +7

    This is heartbreaking to watch now.
    I know something is very wrong
    The post returns for prodigal songs
    With blackout harks with flowered muse
    With skull designs upon my shoes
    I can’t give everything
    I can’t give everything
    Away
    Seeing more and feeling less
    Saying no but meaning yes
    This is all I ever meant
    That’s the message that I sent
    I can’t give everything
    I can’t give everything
    Away

    David Bowie, when on his game, reminds me somehow of Mikhail Barishnakov. Ashes to Ashes is such a personal song. About addiction. It really hits home. What a true artist.

  • @KimonoSkunk
    @KimonoSkunk 15 років тому +1

    I am just so amased at this clip. And it shows how genuine Mr Bowie is with Georgie.
