A haunting and hypnotic love song delivered in that oh-so special Bowie manner... Thanks for watching! 🥰

It's one of those songs that you wish would go on for another couple of minutes, because you don't want the dream to end.

That piano was magical. Bowie is magic too! RIP

Shoutout to the beautiful acoustic guitar as well!

One of my favorite Bowie songs. 💜

One of my favorite Bowie songs...Mike Garson is a piano god. Two others on this album are real sleepers....."Time" and "Aladdin Sane" (the best piano solo in rock history). I love that you deep into the best tracks.....great analysis too. You are truly in the top tier of reactors.

One of my all time favourites which is hard considering ❤️

Hi Brandon. Another jackpot track. Not only Bowie at his best, but Mike Garson at his best as well. He was such a great fix for Bowies music right up to the end. Just love the Bowie sax in there right at the end. One of my most favourite tracks of all time. All the best. Dave✅✅

Great song…..it was a first for me. Definitely could have been a little longer! Another song you’d like is “This Is Not America” from the movie The Falcon and the Snowman. It’s the Pat Methany Group featuring David Bowie on vocals.

Oh nice, his music is always a treat! Added another vote for TINA. Some old tried and true favorites back this week, but quite excited for Thursday 😊😊

I was so lucky to see him twice! A little later like 1976. I miss him 🌹♥️

Thanks so much for subscribing! I really appreciate your support!!

This almost has a early 1950s pop feel to it(before rock fully hit the pop charts), mixed with a bit of glam. Cool, but, cool is what Bowie does RIP David

Interesting take... I know Bowie was an expert at taking from many genres and making his own unique art from them. One of the greatest!

I'm so happy you're reacting to Bowie. May I ask if you'd do a watch/reaction to "My Death" Live, GQ awards 1997". Garson has a great solo in this, and Bowie's voice and presence is awesome.

Hi Deana! Bowie always a treat to react to. I'm reluctant on doing videos on the channel as they are often getting blocked, but I will add it to my list, thank you 😊

@@retroreactions.... I don't blame u for being cautious, but many reactors avoid the block by blurring the video when they upload to utube. Bowie's performances are always special.

One of his very best songs. Everyone has - quite rightly - praised Mike Garson's piano and Mick Ronson's guitars; it's also one of Bowie's most glorious vocals. Can we also hear it for Trevor Bolder's *gorgeous* bass lines, a lot of them right up the fretboard. He's a very underrated bassist - check out his work on Cracked Actor too, on the same album.

its so good, huh

It is such a sensual tune, and the Spanish influenced intro bounces right back at the mid-song break with the Spanish guitar. Always love your reactions, particularly to Bowie music. I have a few songs I'd like to hear your take on...... Thom in Toronto,Canada ♥️🇨🇦

Hi Thom! Always nice to see you. Yes, I can't believe I didn't mention the Spanish vibes. They are actually some of my favorite elements of the song. Glad you enjoy the reactions. Yes, feel free to send requests. Of course though my request list is well over 4,000 songs now after 16 months! So much music, so little time.....

Like this one, great piano! I missed a lot of David Bowie in my music culture. Good stuff for sure. Have a nice day!

Oh who is sheeee

Haunting, hypnotic, enchanting. A perfect song. When I first heard the album Aladdin Sane I just knew I was going to listen to it countless times. Technically, its brilliant with so much emotional depth. Many thanks for the review.

Hi Brandon! Me again - hoping you might find some time for 4 songs from his Outside album: We Prick You, The Voyeur of Utter Destruction (as Beauty), I'm Deranged, and Thru' These Architects Eyes. It's that incredible voice ..... Thom in Toronto, Canada ♥️🇨🇦

This is real music. Although relatively short, it feels like an experience. I couldn't agree more about David's masterful use of vocals throughout his repertoire to convey the characters and emotions of each individual song. And what can you say about Mike Garson? His style is so distinctive and it gets me every time. Yes, the little burst of Spanish guitar was unexpected but wonderful. I always regarded this song as something truly special. It is great to hear it again this morning.

In case you don't know, Claudia Linnear was one of the most beautiful women to ever grace the earth. Jagger supposedly wrote Brown Sugar for her. George Harrison loved her as well.

CHEEEEEEEEEEEESE!! Mr Garson's piano is all over the whole LP; this is a very good think and elevates Aladin Sane. I'll call this one tacky; It's definitely unique and is sexy Bowie. The song is beautifully arranged. I'm exactly the right demographic for Dave - I heard this, first when I was 13 via my older sister, who bought the LP the day it was released. 51 years on I still like it a lot; I still cringe slightly when he rhymes breast with caress. It's lovely; it might get on my 1 hour playlist - there's a lot of fierce competition. As far I'm concerned he's Britain's Elvis, albeit with better tunes, productivity, more artistry and (dare I say it?) a better voice. Some of those attributes might pique your interest
