Maybe its just me but I consider "Outside" one of the major contributions of Bowie's career and wondered why it had never been developed as a stage show. And yes I do understand the dark nature of the subject matter, but as a comment on both physical and psychological isolation there is much to be revealed.
This song breaks my heart every time. Makes me reflect on ex girlfriends and people who I knew in the past. My favourite Bowie single from my favourite Bowie album. And I'm a fan of everything the man has ever touched
man, how can anyone not love mike garson's piano in that song? if there was a list of the 10 great collaborators of bowie, he'd be in that list along w/ mick ronson, carlos alomar, brian eno, tony visconti, george davis, dennis murray, mick woodmansey, trevor bolder, and earl slick.
I don't understand why this song was not received well (in music charts) - it cracked the top 40 briefly (#39) and then went away. It's actually a really great melodic pop-rock song, emotional and moving, it had a great little video to go with, and a beautiful vocal... and yet "no one" seemed to pay it any attention???
whataboutredlorry people rarely paid attention to Bowie’s singles. He was about the whole package. A lot of his fans (80s popularity aside) aren’t from the group who would fly out and buy a single and not care about everything else
From 71 on I couldn't run fast enough to grab every new album that Bowie came out with. All of them I loved some a little more than other but loved them all. Saw him live 3 times. How can I ever forget when my daughter called me that Sunday morning and said "Dad!, David Bowie died". I cried that day and I was 65 then. I cried when Jimi, Janis, Jim, John and David died.
Sad that he is gone. But also sad for the millions of others who have gone. It don't matter who you are Or what you've Done. Even an old life is still young.
A good version on the Budda Album but an absolute classic version on the Outside album. It's just a brilliant song. And this live version is fantastic. Quite simply a musical genius.
Loved this song from the moment I heard it. It's December 2022 and it's still on heavy rotation with me. There's a few versions of it and I like every single one of them. I miss you David.
Just beautiful... I'm proud to say that I bought this single when it first came out and I've played it a thousand times since then. Spookily I sought this video clip out just before he died. I just had an urge to listen to Strangers When We Meet. X
This is a breathtaking tune! My best Bowie tune i Sound and Vision...but this one is slowly but unstoppably crawling under my skin. Video is awesome, but this ...live performance has the same ....energy...vibe...Awesome.
The piano is genius, but as always, that bass... & Bowie's total control&variations in his voice. No one song ever sounds the same twice when he sings it. This is beautiful that he can make it perfect, singing so low energy. Anyone tell me what he wrote this song about, or who?- bb💙🎶💙
GREAT BEAUTIFUL BOWIE,GREAT BAND..ALFORD IS A BEAST ON THE DRUMS AS ALWAYS ....ALL OTHER BANDMEMBERS..SUPERB!!.ALOMAR,DORSEY AND MIKE..DID I MISS ANYONE?GABRELS?.ANOTHER GEM OF A SONG THAT I FAIRLY RECENTLY DISCOVERED! BOWIE BINGING AGAIN!🤩🥰
I've loved this song the moment I heard it years ago. It is still one of my go-to-songs of his. Perfect as always, David never disappointed. Gail Ann Dorsey's killer bass line and Mike Garson's brilliant piano...Zachary Alford on drums and of course CARLOS!!! I've heard different versions of this song and I'll take all of them...I miss David...
What a Master ! What mastery ! Everything is under control, he can do what he wants with his voice ! So fascinating !("Fascination Comes around......)❤
another Bowie MASTERPIECE. Zack Alford on percussion rocks. Watch him work on Lorelei concert footage etc. he practically levitates on some down beat crashes.
"No peachy prayers No trendy rechauffé I'm with you So I can't go on All my violence Raining tears upon the sheets" and then there's"Peaches" by Bieber. Just the above is better than his entire creative output.
![[Lyrics] David Bowie | Strangers When We Meet [Extended]](/img/n.gif)
In my opinion, one of the most underrated songs Bowie has made. Breaks my heart everytime I listen to it, but can't work out why.
+Steve Walton tragically, I think you now know why
the same here. .
im so thankful we're strangers when we meet
...no going back
My thoughts exactly. I just adore this song.
It's one of my favourites. and indeed one of the most underrated Bowie songs.......

The Legend...listen to that voice...miss him..❤️❤️🔥🔥⚡⚡
Never understood why this song wasn't a hit.
Mike Garson's piano,
Pure class, and elegance 👍
Thank Goodness for Gayle Anne Dorsey's understated,yet elegant,presence and her musicianship; She and David are so good together. I love this song.
Gail Ann Dorsey
David Bowie. The coolest cat ever to grace God's green earth. Paying attention, kids? This is how it's done. Perfection.
+bionicbigfoot Very true, totally agree!!
Amen!

Incredible voice. incredibly handsome.Incredibly timeless
This song breaks my heart every time. Makes me reflect on ex girlfriends and people who I knew in the past. My favourite Bowie single from my favourite Bowie album. And I'm a fan of everything the man has ever touched
You wrote this 8 years ago. I agree..today
I wish every performance of this awesome song and amazing video of "Strangers when we meet" had much more views. I really appreciate this masterpiece
What a terrific band he put together!

I'm kinda glad no one watches this video, I'd like to tuck this away in my memory and carry it with me to eternity

True. And Outside was a very haunting, even horrifying record.
@@rossmatheson4303 very well said.
Such a beautiful, heart-wrenching song. I absolutely adore Garson's piano line on this. Strangers surely ranks among Bowie's best.
From 71 on I couldn't run fast enough to grab every new album that Bowie came out with. All of them I loved some a little more than other but loved them all. Saw him live 3 times. How can I ever forget when my daughter called me that Sunday morning and said "Dad!, David Bowie died". I cried that day and I was 65 then. I cried when Jimi, Janis, Jim, John and David died.
Carlos the Band Leader, counting every bar, so rock solid
Sad that he is gone.
But also sad for the millions of others who have gone.
It don't matter who you are
Or what you've Done.
Even an old life is still young.
A good version on the Budda Album but an absolute classic version on the Outside album. It's just a brilliant song. And this live version is fantastic. Quite simply a musical genius.
just listen to these lyrics, among his best songs, RIP David where ever you are, you certainly will be missed with us on earth
now this is a real legend a real superstar
Drummer outstanding, Garson incredible and Gabriel’s guitar restrained....Beautiful song and great performance!
Watching with tears in my eyes.Stay safe, David.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING....I cannot ever tire of hearing his voice....What an inventive artist....I miss him..And dammit he had the BEST HAIR....
Bowie at his best superb

I totally love this song
Saw him live once..and all.I can really say is that he was the real deal.
A very special unique entity.
This is a breathtaking tune! My best Bowie tune i Sound and Vision...but this one is slowly but unstoppably crawling under my skin. Video is awesome, but this ...live performance has the same ....energy...vibe...Awesome.
Listened to this song so much in the last few years... has become one of my favourites.
The piano is genius, but as always, that bass... & Bowie's total control&variations in his voice. No one song ever sounds the same twice when he sings it. This is beautiful that he can make it perfect, singing so low energy. Anyone tell me what he wrote this song about, or who?- bb💙🎶💙
Simply amazing stuff. Truly, he is the man who fell to earth.
If you really boil everything down
All our dreams and hopes are not even a second in this universe.

Mister David Bowie !!! amaazing !!!!
The musical talent captured in this video is awesome!!...Thank you Thin White Duke..rip
*Beautiful; My favourite song ever.....Slinky~Secrets.... {Great vid Thankyou}.*

Adoro la sua musica e la sua voce...love Bowie forever
I love this song..... Gail do a great version. the lyrics....wow
いい歌だよほんま
良い曲だ
Definitely one of his best and underrated songs. Had the same effect on me as it has on others
Diese Live-Version aus dem Jahre 1995 ist großartig. Bowies Stimme ist unschlagbar.
So beautiful! I've always loved this song (both versions).
Happy Birthday to Mr Bowie today, God bless...
Thanks for posting this great quality video.
Mike Garson .... just. MIKE. GARSON. "Hotter than the sun".

Alford fits Bowie but not Springsteen....
Unico ❤

This and station to station are my absolute go to Bowie songs and in the heat of the morning
Loved this song ever since I bought Outside back in 95. Just a great great Bowie track.
What a song and what a voice and what a band.
Each day i meet Strangers on the way to work (with my bicycle) ..and than i stop and talk with them .. and after that we are no strangers anymore
Happy Birthday Zachary !
Absolutely Fabulous.
I miss you, David.
What a Master ! What mastery ! Everything is under control, he can do what he wants with his voice ! So fascinating !("Fascination Comes around......)❤
Love Jools Holland--such amazing music on that show. Brilliant song. Brilliant performance.
Te amo bowie 🥰🥰🥰🥰siempre seras mi gran amor 💘💘💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Sublime
Un timbro di voce e uno stile unico.
how I miss him :(
Immense kudos to Mike Garson - his piano work really completes this track.
Maestro.....
another Bowie MASTERPIECE. Zack Alford on percussion rocks. Watch him work on Lorelei concert footage etc. he practically levitates on some down beat crashes.
Watch him work on concert footage?
Perfection right there 👌
God bless the david king of glamrock
Good song
If you don’t own “Outside” you need to get a copy now!!
This was on Buddha of Suburbia first.
@@christofyre Outside version is superior.
Genial!!!!
Fab .... I hope my Bowie Interpretations on You Tube make him smile .... far far away ... so cool.
"No peachy prayers
No trendy rechauffé
I'm with you
So I can't go on
All my violence
Raining tears upon the sheets"
and then there's"Peaches" by Bieber. Just the above is better than his entire creative output.
sugar pie honey bunch
He had a lot of back up
i think thats what bands are for..
For such a simple tune, there is an awful lot going on here.
