Bowie's considered, after the Beatles, to be the most influential music artist of the modern era. He's one of the biggest artists in history and he still outsells 99%+ of modern artists! His songwriting was on another level and he was a talented multi-instrumentalist. He wrote some of the greatest albums in music history. If you think he's largely forgotten, you're very wrong. Even after his death, he remains incredibly influential and popular. He's considered one of the greatest of all-time for good reason. Many consider him THE greatest! He changed music and his influence on wider society was almost as large! He broke the mold, changed genres, styles and personas constantly. He set trends and others followed. He'll be remembered for a very long time. His death was headline news all over the World. World leaders, including President Obama and the Pope spoke glowingly of the man! The connection he made with people tended to be very deep. He remained the epitome of cool throughout his long career! :)
What's more he was an incredible singer! I'm surprised by how you appeared completely unmoved by such an incredible, really incredible, vocal performance! It's an absolutely beautiful and emotional performance from Bowie! A master at work! :)
Then again I think the superlative nature of his performance is sometimes lost to people, until they've experienced life a bit more. When I was in my teens and early twenties, I liked the song but it was far from being my favourite Bowie performance. By the time I was in my mid 30s I absolutely loved it and now it's possibly my favourite song of all-time! :)
Btw, I'm not saying you have to like it, or that you will like it. Merely giving my particular perspective. In art, all perspectives are equally valid, when genuine. :)
Hi Haevn! A hardcore Bowie fan here : ) ! I'm not really surprised you didn't like this song in particular. I'm much more surprised by the fact somebody recommended it to you : it's clearly not your style (I may be wrong : I just discovered your channel with this video).
You have to know that Bowie has been a constant style-shifter throughout his 50 years long carreer : hard-rock, blues-rock, pop, prog, glam, proto-punk, soul, funk, electronica, new wave, cold wave, world pop, industrial, drum'n bass... The guy experienced almost every style in his own way... sometime paving the way for new styles in the process ! That's the reason why the persons I heard saying "I don't like Bowie" clearly didn't hear the album where he messes with a genre they appreciate. Or they just dislike artists who don't stick to one genre and refuse to explore anything else : the exact opposite of Bowie's approach to music.
About this particular song : it's a cover from a 50's movie, hence the "retro" feeling about it (this cover is from 1976 and his album "Station to station", and God only knows why Bowie added this particular song to the album 😄, but it's a great example of his abilities as a vocalist).
If you feel aventurous enough, may I suggest other titles that you might enjoy more ? If so, please try "Hallo Spaceboy" (95), "I'm afraid of americans" (97), "The width of a circle" (70), "Sweet thing/Candidate/Sweet thing" (74), "7 years in Tibet" (97), "Scary monsters (and super creeps)" (80), "Heroes" (78).
You don't have to make video reactions to those titles of course : but it'd be a shame if your opinion on Bowie was limited to this particular experience when there's so much more !
Have a nice day !
Thank you so much! I will definitely try to give it another go and check those songs out! I definitely see what you mean and really understand where you are coming from when it comes to his expansive library and the fact that he has his hands in various genres/sub genres. And so maybe you are right that maybe I just have to find the right era of Bowie to really get into him! So I’ll definitely check those songs out and maybe have a perspective change!
