Christopher is a coward? Mate, you're the keyboard warrior. Why do you feel the need to be so derogatory to someone you've never met, purely because your musical tastes differ? You sound like a fucking moron.
I discovered this on April 11th, 2018, when I was freshly dumped and coming down from a high. I cried. I listened to this on loop on April 21st, 2018, the day after my ex died. I cried then too. Now I can properly cry and enjoy this wonderful tune. Thank you.
Still can't stop watching Bowie videos, interviews, covers he has done, covers of his songs etc., this was just great!! Thank you very much, Heart felt and Beautiful cover!!
I was watching the film Once. And for the life of me I couldn't figured out why your voice made me soo sad and I couldn't figure where I had heard you from because I had never heard your music at all and it wasn't until I watched the the memorial for David outside of his apartment and then it hit me - it was you singing, in the cold, while mourning David Bowie. Now that I know, and where I'm at, I think it's just amazing how it clicked like that. and I just thought that I should tell you that. and your music, makes my heart ache because your voice is beautiful. I hope you see this post one day.
Bravo! You really captured the pathos in the song - maybe even more so than in the original recording, with all it's instrumental distractions. David would be pleased.
Nearing year 3 of having heard this and then lost my ex to suicide a little over a week later. Doesn't get easier but hearing this does. Beautiful as ever.
First time I heard this, I sent it to my very-recent ex. It was one of the last things I ever sent him before he killed himself. Still makes me cry. Excellent cover.
First time I heard Glen I was at Paradiso in Amsterdam, on a spare ticket from friends and after 3 songs I was overwhelmed, Seen Bowie but this is a tribute which is, lost for words to be honest. Magnificent.
Way to feel the music mate! I guess most people know what this song is about, but you really got down in there and showed the reckless abandon of addiction. Truly, thank you , and keep digging deep.
half of visualizations must be mine, and I have enjoyed all of them. Stunning guitar song performance.Every hit has it's 100% perfect intensity. And the voice, what can I say? This man has no limits, I have seen him singing to all theatre without mic. Whereas, TH-cam hits is full of robotic voices. This is our world, at least we have Glen. I wait you in BCN next week.
wow. thank you so so much glen. as I 40 year plus bowie fan and like so many many other people I was devastated at David's passing. your version of ashes to ashes embodies the raw emotion and pain of our loss and in no small way is helping me heal... many many thanks glen .
I'm not really sure how to say this, but in french,I'd say: c'est une version très sentie et très authentique, Merci ! Thanks and thanks again ! I' d love to ear other acoustic version of Bowie from you
If there was any flaw in Bowie’s version it was in the New Romantic era synth heavy instrumentation which contrasted with the edgy lyrics of a man struggling with addiction. Here in this bare arrangement that rawness comes through. Thank you.
+joungmo yang It's so beautiful in its directness and simplicity of expression (just a man and a guitar). Not based on the technology and imitation like in The Grammy's.
Really great ! How deep you feel this song and how much energie you give to serve it. You brought me with you. It was a very nice trip. Thanks so much.
What a powerful cover! I saw live Glen in Cologne and Cork - Always awesome. AND the concert in Cologne was the first concert my little sister went to - She was smiling the whole time :-) Thanks for all the great music!
when i couldn´t connect with anybody, his music touched me and that´s some powerful shit i will never forget. silly, but it was scary to me hearing of his passing away. feeling the gap.
So glad I saw Glen on Tavis Smiley interview about this.. and found this one and the one he did in front of David Bowie's Apartment building.. The Pathos is complete.
Please, Glen, record an all-acoustic David Bowie cover album!
+Christopher DeWan do u know the soundtrack "The life Aquatic of Steve Zissou"?
+Marisol Cordeiro It's so so good, right? (But it doesn't replace my NEED for a Glen Hansard album of David Bowie songs!)
Please don't. At least your own third-rate shite music we can avoid. Glen Hansard....the living proof that one song does indeed not make an album.
Hey, Doc-what kind of art do you make and share with the world? Or do you just focus mainly on spewing hate on the Internet?
Christopher is a coward? Mate, you're the keyboard warrior. Why do you feel the need to be so derogatory to someone you've never met, purely because your musical tastes differ? You sound like a fucking moron.
I come back to this tribute over and over again. 💜
Same here

You nailed "all time low," an absolutely crucial part of this masterpiece. Thank you so much.
One of the best cover ever …haunted !

Wow! The best and most fully developed solo acoustic rendition ever!

Been listening to brilliant Bowie covers all evening...
Nearing year 3 of having heard this and then lost my ex to suicide a little over a week later. Doesn't get easier but hearing this does. Beautiful as ever.
This is incredible... I love it...
Passionately brilliant and there I say..............flawless.Excellent tribute to the greatest inspirational artists ever to have been with us.
This is possibly the best Bowie cover I have heard in the recent slew of Bowie covers. Very nicely done, sir.
First time I heard this, I sent it to my very-recent ex. It was one of the last things I ever sent him before he killed himself. Still makes me cry. Excellent cover.

I've seen this video at least 30 times. This version simply rules!
Way to feel the music mate!

Truly, thank you , and keep digging deep.
I've just played this 4 times back to back. This is staggeringly good!!

Absolutely perfect Glen. Thank you.
Best cover version ever. Thank you. You show perfectly what an amazing song this is.
Amazingly powerful!
Fantastic song, and darn good cover.
it took your cover to make me finally share a tear for the man.
Oh, man. WOW. Never imagine that just one man and one guitar can make one song so powerful and wonderful like this.
I can't stop listening to this. Makes me want to pick up the guitar again. Brilliant!
You moved me so much...I can feel you love David as much ad I do. Thank you
my heart hurts so much still. Thank you, Glen. I needed this
Absolutely epic cover! Very well done
wow. thank you so so much glen. as I 40 year plus bowie fan and like so many many other people I was devastated at David's passing. your version of ashes to ashes embodies the raw emotion and pain of our loss and in no small way is helping me heal... many many thanks glen .
Thanks ever so for your cover, Glen, it made my skin crawl! I feel your emotion and can't break away from this song.
Holy shit dude...45 years old musician, saw Bowie live 3 times. Been around a minute...heard more covers than I can count.
Solid cover.
Many thx, Glen. You actually made a very hard song to sing a beautiful cover.
Absolutely fantastic.
This is really ONE of the BEST COVERS for this song. Excellent job. Thank you.

Glen Hansard is a talented musician that can help you discover more possibility and beauty of acoustic-guitar music!
Fantastic! Wow, buddy, that's the best version of that great song I've ever heard. Ya got passion, pal. Rare theses days.
Really great ! How deep you feel this song and how much energie you give to serve it. You brought me with you. It was a very nice trip. Thanks so much.
