Your most Favourite David Bowie song of all time!?

Question

And why is it special to you...

I like all his songs but Moonage Daydream has the coolest lyrics to me which is why it's special to me.

Answer 1

I absolutely agree with you. Bowie has so many fantastic songs but "Moonage Daydream" is my one single favorite of them all.

"Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love......."

Good lyrics, fantastic bass line with some classic psychedelic guitar, overall a great song.

Zen Guerilla does a cover of it in the old Detroit-style rock-blues sound that definitely does it justice as well.

In addition, I like The Wild-Eyed Boy From Freecloud, Life on Mars, and Quicksand.

Answer 2

Ziqqy Stardust

Answer 3

Major Tom

Answer 4

Changes and Jean Genie. JG is the first song I remember hearing from him. Plus, I really like all of the songs from the "Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust" album.

Answer 5

Definitely Space Oddessy! Well at least I think thats the name of it!

Answer 6

Life on Mars is my favorite

Answer 7

I like ch-ch-ch-changes! China Girl is cool as well.

Answer 8

sorry, I can't make up my mind, I love them all, and sorry this is so long, but I had to put the lyrics with the songs.

Ch ch ch changes. It reminds me of all the changes I have had to make in my life, and the time it took.
CHANGES
- Album: Hunky Dory
- Lyrics and music by David Bowie


Oh yeah
Mm
Still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets and
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Ah changes are taking the pace I'm going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon now you're gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time

CAT PEOPLE [PUTTING OUT FIRE]
- Album: Let's Dance
- Lyrics by David Bowie music by Giorgio Moroder


See these eyes so green
I can stare for a thousand years
Colder than the moon

Feel my blood enraged
It's just the fear of losing you
Don't you know my name
Well, you been so long

And I've been putting out fire
With gasoline

See these eyes so red
Red like jungle burning bright
Those who feel me near
Pull the blinds and change their minds
It's been so long

Still this pulsing night
A plague I call a heartbeat
Just be still with me
But it wouldn't believe what I've been thru
You've been so long
Well it's been so long

And I've been putting out the fire with gasoline
Putting out the fire
With gasoline

See these tears so blue
An ageless heart that can never mend
Tears can never dry
A judgement made can never bend

See these eyes so green
I can stare for a thousand years
Just be still with me
You wouldn't believe what I've been thru

Well you've been so long
It's been so long
And I've been putting out fire with gasoline
Putting out fire with gasoline

Putting out fire
We've been putting out fire
Well it's Been so long so long so long
Yes it's been so long so long so long
I've been putting out fire
Been so long so long so long
And putting out fire
Been so long so long so long
Yeah yeah putting out fire
Been so long so long so long
Been putting out fire
Been so long so long so long
Yeah putting out fire
Been so long so long so long
Putting out fire
Been so long so long so long
It's been so long
Been so long so long so long
It's been so long
Been so long so long so long
It's been so long
Been so long so long so long
I've been putting out fire
Been so long so long so long





Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you

Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five,
Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell me wife I love her very much she knows"

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

sorry this is so long....lol...
