Black Tie, White Noise unfairly gets maligned. This song is a standout on a very good album some people wish to dismiss. I think the whole album is fantastic! It was in my opinion the beginning of David's creative rebirth. He didn't look back after this one, thankfully.
Yes indeed as with 92s outside sometimes concept werx and Bowie is the master of even conceptual lifestyle self imposed rocker ziggy sets out to make himsef a rock god then kills him off lol because he’s to popular, enter the space junkies with issues as his capsule hurls into the Abyss lol major Tom, thin white duke etc Bowie’s awesome and missed , strung out on heaven’s high hitting an all time low,,, SPROCKETS!!!! Gday all!! they say JUMP! ! Fades out out out ou o c --
I do agreee Non conventional Song. Funky and acid jazz mixid up with class and talent. The more you listen ti It the more It grows the Better It sounds
@@duncan3998 I'm talking about the length of time of Bowie created and released music in his career (1966-2016; 52 years, if you count his early work with the Lower Third), fool. 😒
Not a huge fan of the album it comes from (Outside remains my favourite overall album from Bowie) but this is probably my favourite track he's ever done.
Someone had an interview with Bowie once and insensitively mentioned Terry to him.Bowie then looked very sad and the interviewer then changed the subject. These videos of him also resemble mini movies.I may not understand everything,but it is worth watching. I like the instrument in the background.Something sad about it,too.And the 2 voices at times,very nice. But yes,it is sad. At the end,he looks a bit like that death scene in Merry christmas mr.Lawrence when he eventually died.
tESLA WAS ALESOMELZ ELEGANT ON an equal measure! It ain't a coincidence that he portrazed him in a role from THE PRESTIGUE. The 2 geniuses colided there. And the elegant suits, of course!
I’m sorry I’m not very good at this as I keep apologizing I’m glad I didn’t make a comment stating that I absolutely agree with you the man was always beautiful, before he knew he was beautiful perhaps, but for all of the true heartbreaking, heart feeling reasons that man is eternally beautiful! Thank you for your comment❤️
Again, I was so silly and don’t know really how to work any of this other than saying that it sounds like you were being kind which some responses are not. I absolutely adore David Bowie and I have through thick and thin and have very funny stories I wish I could talk to people about but I don’t know how to do anything other than text or use this Avenue because I’m so dysfunctional with technology but basically I have adored David Bowie my whole life which was rather comical having my parents wonder why my walls were covered in photos and posters of him and boy George and the cure and the Smiths I’m surprised they didn’t get me locked up when I am just a really ridiculously vanilla girl I guess they call me. I don’t call me anything I’m just me!
the way david copes with the idea of grief is so subtle and powerful. he always manages to make a big deal out of the most intimate details. this song is about terry, his schizophrenic brother who eventually committed suicide. jeez, what a song. the chorus can be easily misinterpreted as inspirational, as in 'jump' means 'take a risk and change your life' but something makes me think that again he talks of the alienation of mental illness. he even references the movie 'la jetee' in this video. david was just on another level artistically and visually compared to any of his contemporaries. light years ahead.
Yeah I think you're right upon assuming, because he says "don't listen to the crowd" near the end. The crowd is telling the subject to jump. Very ahead of his time in spreading awareness of mental health.
Here’s a trivia tidbit if you don’t know: the trumpet solo was also the played by “Bowie,” but not this Bowie. A trumpet player named Lester Bowie who “the” Bowie asked to play on the song. Pretty cool.
I absolutely LOVE that shot of him at 1:36 walking out of his office and everyone rising as he walks past while checking his watch. Just so classy and suave and badass.
@@MariaGaldamez-e4e I must do me search. Thanks. That death at the end, is like some photo called "the most beautiful death" (or something similar, not sure about the title) a suicidal woman
Not only my favorite Bowie song but one of my favorite songs ever created ever in the history of human music. I can't listen to it enough or heap enough praise on it. It is relentlessly listenable, energetic, and it to this day has this future sound that nothing in the past 20 years has come close to touching. This is what music today should have sounded like. Instead music today simultaneously sucks enough to be distressing yet bland and soulless enough that I can't really even remember the names of any recent songs released at all. Thank God we got to have Bowie to leave us actual, real music to listen to for these dark and creatively dead times.
I think pop radio in general is mostly unfocused(yet at the same time derivatively corporate) slop but there are wonderful musicians in many genres outside the top forty and genre cliché bullshit. You just have hear of them by mouth. Here are my recommendations- Marcus King (already becoming a badass top 50 rock guitarist) Ren (an art pop rapper and talented classical guitar player/that is one of the most in important post modern word smiths in the rock and rap game) The Yawpers (one of the tightest bands on the indie rock scene who never fail to deliver originality yet still not afraid to reference all the artistic greats that come before them) Naked Giants ( fun indie rock with a blues twist) and I recently discovered the electro noise/folk rockers The Nude Party and for Metal/Harder rock there are great bands like Kaleo, Royal Blood and Brian Jonestown Massacre. Just go and explore further than the crap by Taylor Swift, Machine Kelly and Nicki Minaj for real entertainment and artistic expression
I think Sam Fender and Tom Grennan are promising in the current era, but no one will ever hold a torch to David. The man was just a genius.. voice, composition, subject matter, everything.
Bowie and Kate Bush were the best single artists produced last century in the UK. Both are musical geniuses. No one like them before or since. Creative original and non commercial
Born in 1969, whereas David released his first unbelievable album in 1967, like the Beattles. I Turned back the clocks to make up for lost time and discovered his whole genius through his numerous quality visionary albums. This title was as usual ahead of its time, so gripping...RIP no ones compares to you. Imam was a lucky Lady to gather his inner thoughts. I admire him is an euphemism.
1.) Has anyone ever made a more beautiful music video? No. 2.) While doing so, has anyone so poetically and specifically communicated about paranoia---with such incredible love? Of course not.

Its for his brother who suffered from mental illness and jumped in front of a train , tore bowie up took him 7 years to accept it to a degree and he wrote this song .True
This album was the beginning of the last Bowie phase where he produced music that easily rivals the early catalog. I love how hard he pushes the arrangements to almost breaking.
Ikr? Some of his stuff sounds like it's on the verge of falling apart into chaos, but he almost always manages to keep it coherent somehow. The tension is endlessly fascinating and it's why I never get tired of his music.

No, the reference was the film A Clockwork Orange. Bowie liked the movie since Ziggy Stardust.
Fernando Graca: Wrong. Nothing in this video references the A Clockwork Orange film. You won't even find that claim anywhere online. > The video specifically and heavily references the '60s short film La Jetee by obscure French film maker Chris Marker, (which was much much later adapted into the full length feature film 12 Monkeys by Terry Gilliam in the mid '90s) which is widely regarded as a classic. > It also specifically refences 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick. Yes, Bowie was a Clockwork Orange fan - but it's in the track Girl Loves Me on his final album Blackstar that he partly references it, (by using a lot of Nadsat language words in that song). Not in this video here.
Also, the video references Orson Welles' adaptation of Kafka's 'The Trial' (the faces at 0:18, people standing up in a wave at 1:37, and the use of architecture throughout).
@@lefunk22 Yes, and last scenes of him on the car reference the 'most beautiful suicide', a photo of Evelyn McHale, who threw herself off the Empire State Building in the 1940s and landed on the roof of a car in a near identical pose.
It seems like David Bowie David Bowie created a new image and sound with every album/project. Prince, the genius he was, his image changes weren't drastic and all his songs had a distinct sound that you know was Prince soon as you heard it. Though he did change it up when he wrote for other people. Bowie on the other hand, you wouldn't know it was his songs except for the sound of his voice and he created a new persona with different albums. Star Man, Life on Mars or Rebel Rebel sound nothing like Fame, Golden Years or Let's Dance. A true genius that is sorely missed.
An amazing life. An absolutely incredible human being with mountains of original artistic achievements. He took chances in his expression and had and still has to date, the most soulful, romantic and expressive voice. Anthony Newley was the perfect singer/ artist to influence him (and us) and look at the heights of where he grew it. He's had such a positive impact on my life since childhood in the early 70s. Thank you David Bowie. Rest In Peace dear soul. God bless your family.
I have often seen this album referred to as ‘utterly forgettable’ and the likes, and, well, I’m just here to yell out loud that I think it is a downright fantastic album and this song one of my favourites on it. You’ve got to give kudos to bowie for not repeating himself very much. God how I miss him, by the way.
Even if he is not physically alive, he will always live in our hearts, and his music will always remind us that he made them with love and meaning so it reminds us that no matter what, he will still live and still be David Bowie. 😄
This song came one year after my cousin, who was one of my best friends, took his own life, after he and hid girlfriend ended their relationship, and he left us a letter. First time I saw this clip and heard the song the tears just fell off. The message was clear to me. But I didn't know, only until years later, that it was written about David's half brother, who committed suicide as well. The song and the clip are a masterpiece, and the trumpet solo is truly unique. I have always loved Bowie and his creations, but this song, together with Heroes, had special meaning for me. RIP Starman 🙏 . P.S I think that the eyes cover that he used this clip gave him the inspiration decades later for Lazarus eye cover.
I think that this is an attempt to talk about the effects that life in a hyper competitive world may have. This is why, according to me, the scene is located in a coorporation. If you want to achieve something, thenb"Jump! They say", namely do what you can and more! But this gets to frustration and madness and the only jump that can stop suffering is the one from the rooftop
Deena Dunderdale: the eye mask as like as in black star. This video here deals also with death. What was the relationship between David and Freddy Mercury?
i LOVE THAT DAVID'S LEGACY DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE BEING TAINTED BY PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED MATERIAL AND CASHING IN ON HIS MEMORY. THANKYOU DAVID FOR PROVIDING SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE SOUNDTRACK TO MY LIFE.
He was adamant that his music not be turned in advertisement fodder during his lifetime. His estate has continued that stance. Several filmmakers wanting to do a film about his life have been told, "You're free to make a film about him; the facts of his life are public domain. But his music is rarely allowed to be used in any way. It's not for sale." "Space Oddity" was used in the Ben Stiller film, "Walter Mitty," but that was a very rare exception - and not even close to cashing in on Bowie's song.
When I live my dream - an early one but a particularly nice song - has been on a UK ad. British Airways possibly? And David was never that averse to ads - beside Crystal Japan, there was the Sound and Vision version used by Sony for their TVs or even the theme for Blackstar. And the steady release of expensive limited edition early demos and live albums since his death has been a regular thing (especially on record store day, often on vinyl) together with the big box sets (how else do you buy the Arnold Corns stuff or The Gouster?). You might also want to look at the merchandise on the official website. None of this seems that unreasonable. I'm sure there's more.
He defined every decade in which he released records. What a unique and wonderful talent. It's fantastic to see all these reminders dropping in my inbox again. Every day's a Bowie day!
to me, this is one of his best songs and certainly from an album that doesn't get enough love. especially as he went through not just a creative rut after "let's dance" and then find inspiration again through tin machine. this was a really personal song as it says a lot about the loss of his half-brother terry and how his schizophrenia and mental illness really drove him to suicide.
Bowie looks so handsome in this video. I love his facial expressions in the microphone scene. It's crazy how upbeat this song sounds sonically, but it's about his brother that passed away.
So good to hear this track again, I totally love Bowie's music and the Black Tie, White Noise album had some awesome tracks on it. Jump they say was written about the suicide of his brother, so it must've been very emotional for David to pen.
No other rock star on earth could ever transform themselves like this guy could, and 20 years after this with his next to last album “the next day” he amazed us all again with an even better album! I also have Black Star but haven’t played it once since his sad demise.
Oh my goodness, I know it'll be hard, but you need to let yourself enjoy Blackstar. Just take the time to really sit down and digest it; it's heavy. You'll probably cry, and that's just fine. Don't deprive yourself of one of his finest creations. He wouldn't want that for you.
I keep going back to this every once and a while but the current most striking thing to me is the seemingly endless climbing of the scale at the very end. It's like, "when does this stop going up?!?" and then to FADE OUT on it! Just brilliant on so many levels.
the first two and a half minutes of this video are really good-- something about bowie in this video already feels different than normal (and he looks fantastic as always). the rest of the video truly disturbed me in a way, from the identical nurses saying to jump, to the injury makeup, to the "most beautiful suicide"/lodger pose on the car. this certainly must hit home for him because of the connection to his brother, but i can't help feeling like this came from a personal place as well. some of those smiles and expressions he gave seem too relieved and calm for a suicide, unless he understood on some level the mindset that would make one see it as a relief. fantastic video, speculation aside. eternally grateful we had him as long as we did.
@@carlnilssonyoung8961 Also because of the facial expression of the 'nurses'.Very well acted, by the way.Devoid of-sympathy, emotion,sincerity.Pretensieus and not at all caring.
This song got me out of a depressive episode today. I'm more of a Berlin Trilogy/Outside kind of Bowie fan, but this song absolutely rocks. And the backstory of this song is really sad, which makes it more effective for me.
@yaboi judas Black Tie White Noise in general is a highly divisive album; for every person who praises it as Bowie's return to form, you'll get another who decries it as nothing different from Tonight or Never Let Me Down. I myself have yet to listen to the album in full (largely because I prefer to listen to music on CD, but don't always have the time to seek out copies), but the songs I have heard off of it, this one included, sound pretty decent. Not _quite_ on the level of 1. Outside, but still a good listen in its own right. Also, I'm not sure why Vinny was surprised that this was the only song represented on the Jump CD-ROM; it was a fairly popular single in 1993 and the lead single from Black Tie White Noise, so it makes sense to make it the focal point of the interactive CD. It was simply an ad for the then-upcoming album, nothing more, nothing less.
@@jessica5497 there's a video of Vinesauce (Vinny) playing a CD-ROM game Bowie put out in the early 90s, and a running joke in the video is the fact only this song is included in the game, and half of the stuff you click just make you watch this music video again.
There will never be another artist who is so proud of his work that he references past subject matter in new compositions. It’s like he was testing us to see if we could find them ie Bowie’s version of “Where’s Wally”.From the obvious” Major Tom “references in “Ashes to Ashes “to the subtle “hitting an all time LOW” Love the re use of the backhand swipe in “Jump” and the “Station to Station” outfit in the “Lazarus” video.
To me, there are some elements in this video that are reminiscent of The Man Who Fell to Earth, from the corporate intrigue to Bowie being thrown out a window like Buck Henry's character, to Bowie being blindfolded and tortured, not unlike Newton's fate in the movie. I've always loved this song and video.
I've been trying to think why this music video was causing an ache in my heart and what you said makes sense completely. It 100% has the vibe of of man who fell to earth, especially the part where he gets taken and tortured. It is also sad because it's for his brother.
... in which he' walks on the shore with an old woman, who's vividly gesturing, while he'sings "My mother said to get things done..." That cannot be a better video, than this one. I admit, the song is great though.
I remember watching this song when it was released and was totally captivated by it (and still am..). Its such a great song on so many levels: the lyrics, the background of those lyrics, the sound, the video, the references in the video, bowie's voice and presence, all at the highest level. But watching Bowie as a cooperate guy is just priceless.. He is the complete opposite obviously, so creative, so charismatic, so talented, so flamboyant.. even when he tries to put on a suit and fit in, he looks so different from them (and much better of course..).
Sono d' accordo con molti di voi I agree with a lot of you. Questo è un capolavoro potente, è una denuncia di come lo Stato e la sanità trattano i cosiddetti malati di mente. This is a true masterpiece, and a denounce song, of what the State makes against people ill because of a fragile mind 😢 We share a terrible secret David, terrible...

Bro has a VR headset 20 years before they were invented and made a song about society making you do the worst thing to yourself. Relevant eternally
THIS IS MY NUMBER-ONE SONG FROM BOWIE (and that's saying a great deal considering the wealth of music he blessed us with), I miss him very much.
It's an excellent choice.
1.) Has anyone ever made a more beautiful music video? No. 2.) While doing so, has anyone so poetically and specifically communicated about paranoia---with such incredible love? Of course not.
Beautiful man, exquisite hands. Saw Mr. BOWIE in
1974 U.S. tour of Ziggy Stardust, changed our lives
Forever. 80 yrs old & still a Bowie rocker.😅
Such a great man he was
Okay, I'm totally obsessed with this song now!!
Christine Chumley ikr, I've found myself coming back to this album every other day😅
I have been (obsessed with this) since it came out.
I hope in a possitve way.....dont do anything silly
I keep watching this video, David Bowie’s and gestures and facial expressions in the blue room are weird yet intriguing.
I miss you David
The Same Here😏
we all do...
Millions weep fountains
Genius is a overused word.
David was a genius.
Federica Viviani I understand you very much !
There was nobody like him and certainly nobody to replace him
The most underrated Bowie tune. For his later work this is fantastic…

It's amazing when you realize that Bowie always was innovator in every decade of his 50 years career!
Indeed!
I just finished listening to Black Tie White Noise after a long time:
it's still a great album today. This song is a true masterpiece.
I listened to it twice today.😅
The melody has extreme vulnerability combined with extreme power. And... it's so beautiful running higher and higher. And the video is a masterpiece
This vídeo Is a Real masterpiece
Its for his brother who suffered from mental illness and jumped in front of a train , tore bowie up took him 7 years to accept it to a degree and he wrote this song .True

Underrated Bowie song, the music, the context of the lyrics and what they're about
This song really does capture that feeling of "what if I fell" when you get near a high ledge.
We miss you more than you could ever imagine Mr. Bowie. There will never be one like you. Rest In Peace.
He artistically fused Jazz, Rock, Pop in one song. Together with his hypnotizing voice - this song oozes talent
Credits to the producer Nile Rogers, another very talented Musician who contributed so much of himself to this masterpiece ..Kudos
One of my favorite Bowie's songs, from one of his most underrated albums.

Yes, I noticed that too!
Also, the video references Orson Welles' adaptation of Kafka's 'The Trial' (the faces at 0:18, people standing up in a wave at 1:37, and the use of architecture throughout).
@@lefunk22 Yes, and last scenes of him on the car reference the 'most beautiful suicide', a photo of Evelyn McHale, who threw herself off the Empire State Building in the 1940s and landed on the roof of a car in a near identical pose.
Bowie was a genius. Dear God, how I miss him. ❤️
God bless and rest in peace Terry Burns, who was David's half brother and the inspiration for this particular Bowie masterpiece.
It seems like David Bowie David Bowie created a new image and sound with every album/project. Prince, the genius he was, his image changes weren't drastic and all his songs had a distinct sound that you know was Prince soon as you heard it. Though he did change it up when he wrote for other people.
Bowie on the other hand, you wouldn't know it was his songs except for the sound of his voice and he created a new persona with different albums.
Star Man, Life on Mars or Rebel Rebel sound nothing like Fame, Golden Years or Let's Dance. A true genius that is sorely missed.
This music video was ahead of its era.
Non really. This was the era when a lot of money (and creativity) was put into the music and the videos alike, because the creators could afford it.
This song its AMAZING! what a master piece!!
An amazing life. An absolutely incredible human being with mountains of original artistic achievements. He took chances in his expression and had and still has to date, the most soulful, romantic and expressive voice. Anthony Newley was the perfect singer/ artist to influence him (and us) and look at the heights of where he grew it. He's had such a positive impact on my life since childhood in the early 70s. Thank you David Bowie.
Rest In Peace dear soul. God bless your family.
My favourite Bowie record. His performance is sublime in this video.
I have often seen this album referred to as ‘utterly forgettable’ and the likes, and, well, I’m just here to yell out loud that I think it is a downright fantastic album and this song one of my favourites on it. You’ve got to give kudos to bowie for not repeating himself very much. God how I miss him, by the way.
Yeah, people are dumb, This song is brilliant. :)
Obviously, these idiots who even dare to give an opinion about Bowie's work are the forgetables..
Yes! Thank you! I've been shouting this from the rooftops since I heard this song & album (although I've never jumped 😉).
Lodger-esque in that suit. Gnash on, David. I miss you every day. #BowieForever
Beautiful tribute to his brother ; magnificent Bowie, like always ! The Lord of the pop / rock !
I like seeing all of these new uploads. It feels like he’s still with us
He is and always will be :-)
Selma Basic yeah man feel the same but hearing him is a legend
Hell yeah
Selma Basic “He was born again, they say”
Even if he is not physically alive, he will always live in our hearts, and his music will always remind us that he made them with love and meaning so it reminds us that no matter what, he will still live and still be David Bowie. 😄
This song came one year after my cousin, who was one of my best friends, took his own life, after he and hid girlfriend ended their relationship, and he left us a letter.
First time I saw this clip and heard the song the tears just fell off.
The message was clear to me.
But I didn't know, only until years later, that it was written about David's half brother, who committed suicide as well.
The song and the clip are a masterpiece, and the trumpet solo is truly unique.
I have always loved Bowie and his creations, but this song, together with Heroes, had special meaning for me.
RIP Starman 🙏
.
P.S
I think that the eyes cover that he used this clip gave him the inspiration decades later for Lazarus eye cover.
One of the most intriguing people to have ever existed.
I think that this is an attempt to talk about the effects that life in a hyper competitive world may have.
This is why, according to me, the scene is located in a coorporation.
If you want to achieve something, thenb"Jump! They say", namely do what you can and more!
But this gets to frustration and madness and the only jump that can stop suffering is the one from the rooftop
Made my day again with new videos, RIP David and Terry.
Deena Dunderdale, was Terry's terrible illness also a catalyst for David's own metamorphoses?
Yes I believe so :-)
Deena Dunderdale: the eye mask as like as in black star. This video here deals also with death. What was the relationship between David and Freddy Mercury?
@@rollowed4181 Bowie's claim was for shock. Mercury was gay but it took him a while to come to terms with it.
i LOVE THAT DAVID'S LEGACY DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE BEING TAINTED BY PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED MATERIAL AND CASHING IN ON HIS MEMORY. THANKYOU DAVID FOR PROVIDING SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE SOUNDTRACK TO MY LIFE.
He was adamant that his music not be turned in advertisement fodder during his lifetime. His estate has continued that stance. Several filmmakers wanting to do a film about his life have been told, "You're free to make a film about him; the facts of his life are public domain. But his music is rarely allowed to be used in any way. It's not for sale."
"Space Oddity" was used in the Ben Stiller film, "Walter Mitty," but that was a very rare exception - and not even close to cashing in on Bowie's song.
When I live my dream - an early one but a particularly nice song - has been on a UK ad. British Airways possibly? And David was never that averse to ads - beside Crystal Japan, there was the Sound and Vision version used by Sony for their TVs or even the theme for Blackstar.
And the steady release of expensive limited edition early demos and live albums since his death has been a regular thing (especially on record store day, often on vinyl) together with the big box sets (how else do you buy the Arnold Corns stuff or The Gouster?). You might also want to look at the merchandise on the official website.
None of this seems that unreasonable.
I'm sure there's more.
Black Thie White Noise is very underated ! Amazing song 🖤
One of my favorites, if not my favorite.
He defined every decade in which he released records. What a unique and wonderful talent. It's fantastic to see all these reminders dropping in my inbox again. Every day's a Bowie day!
A haunting music video, killer track, outstanding production with an ever so magnetic Bowie.
This song has followed me for the past 30 years.
I listened to this song alot when I was being bullied in primary school. Probably saved my life more times than I can count.
to me, this is one of his best songs and certainly from an album that doesn't get enough love. especially as he went through not just a creative rut after "let's dance" and then find inspiration again through tin machine. this was a really personal song as it says a lot about the loss of his half-brother terry and how his schizophrenia and mental illness really drove him to suicide.
A hybrid between perfection and liveliness
Very underrated Bowie track
Bowie looks so handsome in this video. I love his facial expressions in the microphone scene. It's crazy how upbeat this song sounds sonically, but it's about his brother that passed away.
So good to hear this track again, I totally love Bowie's music and the Black Tie, White Noise album had some awesome tracks on it. Jump they say was written about the suicide of his brother, so it must've been very emotional for David to pen.
Lima Charlie all the madman from the man who sold the world is also about his brother
@@busterthebear6756 I think that his mother suffered same illness.
long long overdue for a vinyl reissue, alongside outside1. and e a r t h l i n g!
Out of every video released, this is my favorite of all.
Never been a real DB fan. Listening to this, wow. Brilliant man, brilliant song, brilliant video.
...after all these years...
Genius. We all miss him.
No other rock star on earth could ever transform themselves like this guy could, and 20 years after this with his next to last album “the next day” he amazed us all again with an even better album! I also have Black Star but haven’t played it once since his sad demise.
I still can Not Listen Black Star
Oh my goodness, I know it'll be hard, but you need to let yourself enjoy Blackstar. Just take the time to really sit down and digest it; it's heavy. You'll probably cry, and that's just fine. Don't deprive yourself of one of his finest creations. He wouldn't want that for you.
@@caityy1334 I’m the same, I have to be in the right mood to listen to it! Can’t believe it’s seven years since he passed!
I keep going back to this every once and a while but the current most striking thing to me is the seemingly endless climbing of the scale at the very end. It's like, "when does this stop going up?!?" and then to FADE OUT on it! Just brilliant on so many levels.
the first two and a half minutes of this video are really good-- something about bowie in this video already feels different than normal (and he looks fantastic as always). the rest of the video truly disturbed me in a way, from the identical nurses saying to jump, to the injury makeup, to the "most beautiful suicide"/lodger pose on the car. this certainly must hit home for him because of the connection to his brother, but i can't help feeling like this came from a personal place as well. some of those smiles and expressions he gave seem too relieved and calm for a suicide, unless he understood on some level the mindset that would make one see it as a relief. fantastic video, speculation aside. eternally grateful we had him as long as we did.
This is because this song was about his brother suicide.
@@carlnilssonyoung8961 Also because of the facial expression of the 'nurses'.Very well acted, by the way.Devoid of-sympathy, emotion,sincerity.Pretensieus and not at all caring.
This masterpiece is so underrated!
So much love & pain in this song. Unbelieveable visual... I get goosebumps.
My little daily return to the 90s where the music was brilliant.
this song was the reason I became Bowie's fan back in 90's 🙂
Bowie was exceptional. I've been a fan for YEARS. His music is a brilliant legacy.
David left and the world instantly went to shit. This was not a coincidence. Miss him every single day.
Almost coincidentally I went to rehab soon after he died.
My father passed away 9 days after Bowie. For me, your statement is true.
Absoloutley true, this corona pandemic is final evidence
Fuq. I miss him. Tears
Miss him dearly. The world has gone to shit since he has left.
Only David Bowie can make checking his watch the coolest move in video history~!
los coros de 2:48 cuando dicen Got to believe somebody son impresionantes
The music scene seems empty without Bowie. Actually it 's empty. I miss you David!!!!
This dude really said Yeah I’m not gonna help I’m just gonna mess with the lights💀💀
one of my favourite David Bowie songs
Hes dead now :)
@@mrwoofroblox ???
NO ONE GOES NEAR BOWIE THE BEST IMO WAY AHEAD OF TIMES HIS MUSIC WILL NEVER DIE
One of the best part 3:07 - the way she drive her eye from the spectator to the eyepiece,
And than Bowie naturally, no mistakes.
Very well done video.
Beautiful man indeed, and Im basically straight!,
Jesus, Bowie was just so beautiful. The way he moved, his voice, his eyes. It’s unbelievable.
Utterly arresting. Partly he was genetically blessed, partly it was his mime training. Man knew how to carry himself.
Great song and fantastic videoclip.Great looking man.I think he dedicated the song to his brother.
This song got me out of a depressive episode today. I'm more of a Berlin Trilogy/Outside kind of Bowie fan, but this song absolutely rocks. And the backstory of this song is really sad, which makes it more effective for me.
David Bowie's songs are so universally good that they are often forgotten.
"No, no, you can only play this one song Vinny. It's just this one song"
Pepe Silvia "Wanted Life on Mars? No, you get Jump They Say"
@yaboi judas Black Tie White Noise in general is a highly divisive album; for every person who praises it as
Bowie's return to form, you'll get another who decries it as nothing different from Tonight or Never Let Me Down.
I myself have yet to listen to the album in full (largely because I prefer to listen to music on CD, but don't always
have the time to seek out copies), but the songs I have heard off of it, this one included, sound pretty decent. Not
_quite_ on the level of 1. Outside, but still a good listen in its own right.
Also, I'm not sure why Vinny was surprised that this was the only song represented on the Jump CD-ROM; it was
a fairly popular single in 1993 and the lead single from Black Tie White Noise, so it makes sense to make it the
focal point of the interactive CD. It was simply an ad for the then-upcoming album, nothing more, nothing less.
yaboi judas who is this vinny?
Wt* is Vinny lol
@@jessica5497 there's a video of Vinesauce (Vinny) playing a CD-ROM game Bowie put out in the early 90s, and a running joke in the video is the fact only this song is included in the game, and half of the stuff you click just make you watch this music video again.
I really want to see this video in 4k!!! I believe that I'm going to see some day
There will never be another artist who is so proud of his work that he references past subject matter in new compositions.
It’s like he was testing us to see if we could find them ie Bowie’s version of “Where’s Wally”.From the obvious” Major Tom “references in “Ashes to Ashes “to the subtle “hitting an all time LOW”
Love the re use of the backhand swipe in “Jump” and the “Station to Station” outfit in the “Lazarus” video.
To me, there are some elements in this video that are reminiscent of The Man Who Fell to Earth, from the corporate intrigue to Bowie being thrown out a window like Buck Henry's character, to Bowie being blindfolded and tortured, not unlike Newton's fate in the movie. I've always loved this song and video.
I've been trying to think why this music video was causing an ache in my heart and what you said makes sense completely. It 100% has the vibe of of man who fell to earth, especially the part where he gets taken and tortured. It is also sad because it's for his brother.
you had me at 'Jump' my love... David Bowie, the indisputable King of Music
jello
Eh?
Bowie was a genius
David Howie. Was and always will be the innovator of modern music!!!!
Underrated song from a genius.
Er ist einfach Genial...er ist Bowie!!!!!!
This video is second only to 'Ashes to Ashes' as Bowie's greatest-ever.
... in which he' walks on the shore with an old woman, who's vividly gesturing, while he'sings "My mother said to get things done..." That cannot be a better video, than this one. I admit, the song is great though.
Totally underrated song, awesome groove meaningful lyrics, one of my all time favorite Bowie songs.
I remember watching this song when it was released and was totally captivated by it (and still am..).
Its such a great song on so many levels: the lyrics, the background of those lyrics, the sound, the video, the references in the video, bowie's voice and presence, all at the highest level.
But watching Bowie as a cooperate guy is just priceless..
He is the complete opposite obviously, so creative, so charismatic, so talented, so flamboyant.. even when he tries to put on a suit and fit in, he looks so different from them (and much better of course..).
One of my favourite Bowie tracks
Sono d' accordo con molti di voi I agree with a lot of you. Questo è un capolavoro potente, è una denuncia di come lo Stato e la sanità trattano i cosiddetti malati di mente. This is a true masterpiece, and a denounce song, of what the State makes against people ill because of a fragile mind 😢
We share a terrible secret David, terrible...
