So the black couple can't honor a contract but it's the white couple who are the problem. Imaginary racism.
incredible video. thanks a mill.
Powerful !!!!❤
30 May 2024: Kudos! - for a very articulate narrative about the creative process of an artistic giant of our age … this series is an attempt at documenting a thesis of David Bowie’s creation of a musical album at a particularly poignant period of his life … interestingly, Bowie himself did not wish to interpret the meaning of his songs … he left it to his listeners (particularly his devoted following of fans from across the ages & continents) to engage on their idea of what each song portrayed … his life was clearly a rich tapestry of emotions & characters spread over a period … from disheveled growth towards a conformity as he reached out to stability in his maturing years … What a life! What a story!! What a man!!! He was NOT a prophet! He was NOT a stone-age man!! But he was a mortal who sought & realized his potential to be a Superman!!! For THAT, he will be immortalized. 🤩
‘Creative pilgrimage’ … superb!
Give credit to David's personal assistant and close friend Coco Schwab for getting him out of from LA and coke. David wrote the song 'Never let me down' for Coco, she helped save his life and Iggy's too.
You'd of been better off playing Warszawa on a loop at a LOW volume. Otherwise an interesting take.
Very good presentation, liked and subscribed.
Amazing analysis on Bowie's best album and all that surrounds it.
Great critique of this stand-out album. Cheers!
No, S2S was NOT seen as a bridge from his glam rock era to the Berlin Trilogy, not at ALL. Diamond Dogs represented the death of glam rock, with 1984 a funky precursor to Young Americans, David's foray into R&B and Soul, or White Soul, as he called it. S2S was the bridge between the soul of YA to the electronics of Low, et al. OKAY, this is shit. The background music is too loud and drowns out whatever you're trying to say at 1:31 to 1:34, and no, nothing "marred" the Isolar Tour. I saw that show in L.A. in '76 and it was FANTASTIC. I'm done with your bullshit video. Get your facts straight.
thanks mate, a well considered 30 minutes, much appreciated
Could you use just a couple more cliches in the narration? Maybe say 'iconic' a few more times?
Why is the background music so LOUD! 😱
Having seen the Man Who Fell to Earth movie, I was intrigued when I saw the cover to Low. Turned out to be one of my favorite albums along with Scary Monsters.
Wonderful video, thank you for the thoughtful and precise analysis. One small detail: "Neu" are pronounced "Noi".
Yes that was a strange time in a galaxy far far away. They don't really make people like that anymore.
Pretentious rubbish. He probably moved there to get away from people like you, talking a load-of-old-minge.
"Musical alchemists". That's good.
Really appreciated this
Why is Low part of the Berlin “trilogy” when it was recorded in France??? Narrative is extremely curt and rushed, making it hard to stick to.
Background music to loud. I could not listen to it in its entirety. Did it ever even mention Herouville ? If not that is a major miss.
I appreciate the critical depth you pursue your analysis with. Without relying on superlatives I believe this illuminates growth and daring.
Music far too loud man while the “poetic historical narration” just far too much for 8 mins of the 24. Then you describe the album (in your opinion) rather than providing a “documentary” of the making of the album. Sorry, but with theloud music and all of this descriptive stuff from your point of view, it just became a bore.
In one word, " Bowie" . We were fortunate to have lived when he was around.
Oh...OK - but honestly, in 2 words: SCOTT WALKER, and 2 other words: Peter Hammil. The ONLY Thing original about Bowie was his "Drag Show"! - still loved Bowie, though.
@@MarkDarnell-cq2wy I've been listening to the audio of Bowie's Live in Nassau Coliseum in '76 - it truly is staggering radiance in so many aspects, from a 29 year old. And that is without anything from the even more adored Low and beyond. Few could equal the wattage of that. Then there's his 50th party (in Boston? I think, on YT) where he does Queen B with Lou Reed (it's a good 'un) and I'm sure Lou cannot believe the way this guy goes, the camera catches a little look he gives Bowie as he's bobbing up and down, as if wtf! (yea yeah we know, that stuff from Bolivia, and yet . . ) But love Hammil's music, the unique turn of chord or melody - pity it's not better recorded - but goosebump stuff in parts. The Black Room.
@@blackhorse11thACR '78
No one ever gets the facts right. It was recorded in France along with the Idiot. BEFORE BERLIN. Such a basic mistake on people's regard, who are too lazy to research.
The fall of the Berlin Wall generated no similar moves or equal concessions from a NATO interested in an end to the Cold War. …. The CIA, Zionist, EU support for Nationalist Nazis in Ukraine, land-resource grab and Eastward expansion will now create another Berlin Wall in the nuclear dust that will be left after Pentagon NATO aggression and false flag events will create WW3 this May 2024 … you heard it here first. Time for UK to leave NATO, remove crazy nutter Dr Strangelove U.S. military forces, shut bases and remove nuclear missiles from UK soil. F. The BBC version of events….. Bowie’s music resonates today … because the West and EU moved backwards into FASCISM … became the GDR.
once the annoyingly loud music came in, i stopped listening.
Excellent! Thanks for making this. I hope you might consider doing ANOTHER GREEN WORLD, too.
One of his best from that era. 😊
Great video, thank you! What song is running in the background?
That's by SoundFlakes, he does some good repetitive ambient tracks. It is called "Horizon of the Unknown".
@@vikramlikesmusic Thanks a lot! I searched for 2 hours but I couldn´t find it. The most similar sounding that I found was a band called "Free System Projekt".
@@vikramlikesmusic 'And in the morning who'll be wide awake and eating snowflakes, as opposed to those flakes'
Low was recorded in France
?
@@1492oceanblue2 what does ? mean
@@coley1skipton You have to question what '?' means.
@@davidcopson5800 what are they implying, do enlighten
Yes, in Studio Hérouville AND Hansa in Berlin, to be accurate - But that`s barely the point here - The writing and all inspirational input was collected in Berlin.
John Lennon would have hated this video.
Dude, you need to back off the level or remove the background music so that you can hear the narration! 😮
Agreed, background music was a little high and if it was less ambient, it would have made it difficult to listen.
I think the music is great and gives an atmosphere. He speaks very clearly
Thank you for a wonderful film. ❤️❤️very inspiring
That was great, thanks. Also my favourite album of DB's. I was there recently...Hansa studio, and all over the city. Super atmospheric while listening to Low and Heroes (second sides mainly) on headphones...particularly at night. Sort of like, transcendental.
As time goes on and nothing good happens on the music scene, these albums will stand out even more.
We deserved to see the show's version of Silence of the Lambs. Such a great film that already nailed the story, but this show was so incredible and did things differently than the films. Would have been cool to see more of these versions of the characters.
Just a small nitpick: Neu! is not pronounced like "new" or "nyew" but more like "noy".
Should have used a narrator from Northern Ireland, they would have nailed that unintentionally.
@@davidcopson5800hoyever, that may create some unintended consequences
Excellent video focusing on my favorite album of Bowie's career. Any chance of a Part II to this addressing Heroes?
Fantastic video. Well researched.
thank you come again 😂
Cool ill watch this! Got just recommended by youtube to me!
Great video, thank you for sharing😀
Hello. May I ask what music did you use for the background?
