    Lyrics
    When comes the shaking man
    A nation in his eyes
    Striped with blood and emblazed tattoo
    Streaking cathedral spire
    They say
    He has no brain
    They say
    He has no mood
    They say
    He was born again
    They say
    Look at him climb
    They say Jump
    They say
    He has two gods
    They say
    He has no fear
    They say
    He has no eyes
    They say
    He has no mouth
    They say hey that's really something
    They feel he should get some time
    I say he should watch his ass
    My friend don't listen to the crowd
    They say Jump
    Watch out!
    Got to believe somebody
    Got to believe
    Jump
    Got to believe somebody
    Jump
    Got to believe
    They say jump
    About David Bowie:
    David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, "Heroes,” Let's Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie at 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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

      > 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.

    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 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 creations, but this song together with Heroes, have special meaning for me.
    RIP Starman 🙏

    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.

    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.

      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.

    • @BroonParker
      @BroonParker 3 роки тому

      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.

      @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.

David Bowie was my last resort because i had tried every other avenue ...He was the only person who understood my plea..So i'm just stting the record straght on this deep thinking great artist...He had a heart of pure gold' he had a great understanding on this condition' he tried his best in the only way he knew best..That was through his art of singing ..he was a Earth Angel..Now he sings in Heaven ' for the Univsal Spirit ..King of Kings..So now you have it the truth..
