He s now touring the universe

I'm not old. Not yet, anyway, but I am old enough that this song feels like what happens when you get to that point in midlife where you look back, and all of a sudden you realize that there's a hell of a lot more "back". You look at your "heyday", and even if you believe that there's other mountains left to summit, well, there's not going to be _that_ many, is there? Your days of youth and glory are not only a memory, but a fast-diminishing one. I can't even remember half of my personal triumphs anymore. Did they even really mean that much, in the grand scheme of things? And yet, in me there's the yearning to have the feeling of those triumphs back, no matter how small they were, to have all that time back... When I first heard this song, I was young. Not extremely young, but young enough that I thought, "Whoa, what's this? Bowie's turnt into an old man!" I skipped over this song a lot. Of course, given the event of this past January, I've been revisiting his catalog in earnest, and when I got to this song this time, I gasped. Because I get it now. Damn, son, how could I have, as a fan, doubted you? I suppose one can only understand some things once they'e been experienced. And now that I'm around the age he was when he wrote this song, I get it.

So beautiful he was and always will be

R.I.P., David Bowie. When M.J. died, the whole world knew about it and indeed, cried, but we were sort of expecting it. He was going down a downward spiral for a very long time. David Bowie dying is the death of another legend, a different one... But, I'm reading the walls of everyone I know and everyone is so shocked and broken. Hurt, even crying. We lost someone truly amazing at a pretty young age. He wrote of death much and sang about it a lot, i.e., "My Death," "Bring Me The Disco King," etc. Upon listening to these songs, it's haunting how human he was...he spoke often of the existential crisis facing us all, that we are not permanent fixtures on Earth, but rather, fleeting gusts of wind. His music, however, will not fade. It will stand the tests of time. In a way, he and his music are forever. Good night, you Disco King, you.

So ,as I understand -this is not the version from the Black tie, white noise sessions. Love the minimalist feel. Would anyone know who the drummer is?

Bowie is just a Genius - so many incredible songs and albums. Love Bring me the Disco King.

For Bowie,this is SHITE!!

@marco calarco I would agree and take it a wee step further saying the 70s and 1980, most of his other output from then on was purely aimed at the mass market. It turned him into a global superstar but at the cost of writing anything meaningful. Personally I would say his greatest period was 1970-1973, The Man who sold tomorrow, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars and Alladin Sane. I'm not a huge fan of Diamond Dogs, apart from Rebel rebel and Panic in Detroit and the tour that followed the album sounded like he had decided to add cabaret all his work.

The 90s had lots of great music, Pearl Jam, GnR, The La's and a ot of other stuff. But did seem to go down hill quite rapidly at the start of the 2000s, when ipods, mp3s replaced old forms of listening to music. People started to stop buying the whole album and just choosing the song they liked to download. Moreover music has become more about the visual images than the quality of the song itself, Lady GaGa as an example.

I'm eager to hear THE original version of this song... the one recorded with Nile Rodgers for Black Tie, White Noise.

Hi guys, I recorded a David Bowie cover on my first solo album. It is track no.9 but please if you could give a listen to any of the others, I would be most happy! :) soundcloud.com/michael-steadman/sets/jet-black-mechanic-heart

I like the remix with Frusciante and Maynard more. But this is great too.

I like how Maynard and co. made it about something personal, while Bowie sings of decadency of music and star scene in the last two decades and is quite woeful about it, this remix makes it more introspective... I myself am very touchy when it comes to Thin White Duke, but this one just lives up to it...like NIN did in 90s. A great great point of view of Bowie in the 21st century...

Bowie at his truly best

Somebody reanimate Sam Peckinpah right now!

lol

Bring me the discocaine.

we get it. you don't like bowie. you are here why?

What now? Nothing. He will not tour, he will not even do interviews. Goodbye.

If you're feeling old, this may cheer you up. I became mad about Bowie when I was 12, and have been ever since, when I first heard his music in 1972. Can't wait to hear his new album

The chromatic drop on 'city spires'...so good, only bowie can make those excellent note choices like that sound so damn good.

Davey Houdini.... paaaaf! there he was....gone

You're dad played this when you were 8? My best bud from high school introduced me to this song in HS when it first came out. Damn the internet for starting to make me feel old. Props to your pops for introducing you to this song. I know that feeling. My dad introduced me to YES when I was young, and I find myself listening to them from time to time (not that I can complain :p).

His two interesting periods were from 69-80 and from 93-03 in my opinion. Sadly, he seemed to have retired completely from music.

nebuchanezzar/belshazzar

My thoughts, exactly.

Reality was okay. But come on, Heathen was great. Further, I don't think there could have been a better song to close his career than Disco King.

bring me the head of the disco king

No, I absolutely do not agree. Why 80s???

At this point, bowie has produced more nothing songs than something songs. His interesting period was 70s and 80s.

I don't know about a remix but I could have sworn my friend showed me a modern version of this song saying it had manyard from tool in it... Is that what people are talking about?

Meanwhile in manchester city are making a £200m bid for this superstar

@DANTECHPFN Yeah, you get the meaning... Note his last words: Soon there will be nothing left of me, nothing left to release....

This version is sexy? This is a very sad version, its the final statement of a great musician: Soon there will be nothing left of me, nothing left to realease....

this song is one of the few songs that gives me chills to my spine and tears to my eyes. yes, i am a guy. and i'm never gonna drive to this in the night ever again.

@ddgxaudrey Nobody can. I'm sure...

Love this version, best track. I just listened to the remix, its alright, but the more bowie has to do with the birth of a song the more I like, I don't like listing to songs that feature other "artists" its like watering down a masterpiece. Love.

FEED ME NO LIES!!!!! i don't know about you, I don't know about you...
