Your favourite moment in a Bowie track

The chorus in suffragette city

That part in sons of the silent age
>search through their 1 inch thoughts then decide it couldn't be done
>Baby, Baby I'll never let you go
>all I see is all I know
>etc etc

The moment that the last song on Blackstar ends

That part in teenage wildlife where it goes

You'll take me aside, and say
"Well, David, what shall I do?
They wait for me in the hallway"
I'll say "Don't ask me, I don't know any hallways"
But they move in numbers and they've got me in a corner
I feel like a group of one, no-no
They can't do this to me
I'm not some piece
of teenage wildlife

May be pleb, but when he starts yelling in Heroes. Honestly one of my favorites moments in music, period.

>>61866093
OT but is this the most attractive photo to ever be taken of anyone, ever?

Probably the verses and chord changes that lead to the choruses of African Night Flight, or the T Rex impersonation on Black Country Rock.

That fucking guitar tone on Queen Bitch

That massive abrupt tempo change when the vocals come in and literally everything the drummer is doing in the first minue of Up the Hill Backwards

IT'S NOT THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE COCAINE
I'M THINKING THAT IT MIGHT BE LOVE

I hereby propose a challenge to you /mu/.

Listen to 70s Bowie only for one week and then watch the Blackstar video again.
It's like a punch in the groin x 1000

I like the Nipponese in It's No Game

>>61866825
Me too, fucking almost makes me cry it is so perfect

>>61866823
If you like that part I recommend the Iggy Pop version. I always catch myself whispering, "Oh Jimmy, just you shut your mouth."

>>61866995

I only like the first minute of the Iggy version.

I like it better for the saxophone. Although, the bass on the Bowie version is fucking killer. I still can't really stand the satirical chinaman guitar riff on it, however.

>>61866995
Oh yeah, dude. I love the Iggy Pop version. I like the style differences between his solo stuff and Stooges work.

>>61867144

I like the Chinaman guitar riff because of how cheesey it is. It's a product of the times, you wouldn't hear that in a hit song these days. Bowie you marvellous bastard you. I like how he picked the most stereotypical Asian woman for the video, who happened to be a Kiwi Vietnamese woman.

Fripp improvising on a riff which all of the sudden transformed from 4/4 to 3/4 and Bowie manically shouting "SHUT UP" on It's No Game (No. 1)

I'm so glad on the previous 4 months before his passing I was on a Bowie binge. I listened to at least one album per day.

I love the light and whimsical singing at the start of Kooks.

>>61866874
yep

Don't know if I can choose, but this is one of my favorites:
>It's Monday
>Slither down the greasy pipe
>so far so good no one saw you

>You will be like your DREEEEAAMS TONIGHT

>>61867357
Yeah I love when it drops on the line It's Monday, kinda wish that part repeated.

>>61867188
The guitar riff is intentionally shit though. There's an interview of the guitarist talking about it, I forget where. David had a cheeky sense of humor.

>>61867505
I forget the name of it, but there's a documentary that came out a year or two ago about Bowie and they interviewed that guitarist. He thought Bowie would fire him after he played it for him.

>>61867548
It would have been Nile Rodgers

Where were you with your threads and posts like these, you fucking faggots, while Bowie was still alive, huh? Get the fuck out of my board you bandwagonning trash

PLEASE, SAVIOR SAVIOR, SHOW US
HEAR ME, I'M GRAPHICALLY YOURS

>>61869886
>being this butthurt
Sorry. I dont know why it took Bowie dying for me to delve deeper into his discog. I already knew I would love Blackstar the moment I heard the title track back in October, and prior to that I really enjoyed Heroes.
I'm sure most people who have found recent interest in Bowie had a similar liking to his previous works as I did. We're not band wagoners, we're late bloomers.

>>61869886
Pls allow people to mourn in their own time. It's for the best.

YOU'VE BEEN AROUND
BUT YOU'VE CHANGED ME

>>61869886

Shhh. There were plenty of Bowie threads when he was alive.

As for me, I was wearing a Bowie shirt when I found out he died, while I was in the middle of a then-month long Bowie phase. So yeah, that's where I was.

This whole live performance.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiydgQymvTE

I seriously don't get it why this album was so panned by the critics. They pointed out for David's stretched vocals in certain songs, as if he didn't do that all the time, even in studio sessions. Ever since I've listened to this, David Live has become of my all time favourite live albums.

>>61869886
Bowie was talked about immensely as soon as Blackstar came out.

I bet you're the type that thinks anyone who wasn't an openly obnoxious Star Wars nerd for the decade since ROTS is a bandwagoner because they talk now talk about Star Wars

I know its basic af but the build up in space oddity after the 'lift off' always gets me.

>>61869288

The bass in the second chorus of 'Be My Wife'. "Pleaseeeeeee be mine."

The tasty guitar riff for Rebel Rebel. So perfect.

The last seconds in Valentine's Day. You could just tell Bowie put his voice and heart to the limits, also that acoustic and electric guitar duo.
>First seconds of Stay

>Literally the entire Modern Love song.
I could go on and on about my favorite moments because there are just so many.

>>61871108

all of station to station

>>61866093
Damn this is a hard question. I've always loved the moment in Sound and Vision when Bowie yells "Blue, Blue, Electric blue, That's the color of my room where I will live. Blue, Blue."

>>61870861
Oh happy. Hope you're happy too.

"AND I AIN'T GOT THE POWER ANY MORE!"

Not sure if it's my favorite, but the one I absolutely adore at the moment is the saxophone in the chorus of Jump They Say.

That coupled with the GOT TO BELIEVE SOMEBODY on the last chorus really hits me.

There are so many, but the one that has always hit me, the one I love the most, even if it isn't the most emotional or crazy one, just the feel of it -

>>61866718
Also yes

>>61866758
All of those, too. There's also that moment in the live version of Stay from the special edition of Station to Station where he finishes the repeated chorus and starts belting out STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY and such. It's live, but goddamn, Bowie.

Fuck I'm going to miss him. At least we still have this all.

>but any sudden movement
I've got to write it down
>they wipe out an entire race
and I've got to write it down
but I'm still getting educated, but I've got to write it down
and it won't be forgotten
'cause I'll never say anything nice again, how can I?

Pretty much all of Diamond Dogs, but especially the chorus in Big Brother. Probably one of the parts of this album where you could see what he wanted to with making a 1984 musical.

In Miracle Goodnight where the string synths come in.
https://youtu.be/829mlJiRCIU?t=2m23s
2:23
This moment really dwarfs every other major moment in Bowie songs, and Black Tie White Noise really dwarfs all other Bowie albums.

the piano solo in aladdin sane

>>61872773
I like your moment, but Black Tie White Noise is not one of his better records. There's too much middle of the road material that suffers from a very adult contemporary production choice. The best songs on it stray from the general atmosphere of the record, Miracle Goodnight being one example.

It's still a very good record, but it's in the lower half easily.

I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain
You're not alone!!

Lady Grinning Soul

>she'll come
>she'll go
still my favorite Bowie song, chills every time

This is objectively the best Bowie moment.

If you disagree you are a pleb.

TVC15 "OH OH OH OH OH" PIANO

"SOMEBODY UP THERE (SOMEBODY) LIKES ME" SAX

If our love song could fly over mountain
Could laugh at the ocean, just like the films
There's no reason to feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines, it's absolutely true

>UNDER THE MOONLIGHT
>THE SERIOUS MOONLIGHT

This, a million times.

And I've been putting out fire...WITH GASOLIIIIIIIIIIINE

His cover of Let's Spend the Night Together is GOAT

All of these, for me.

Plus the silence and breathing on Time, then the guitar howling.

Then—
"I can't answer why...
Just go with me...
I'ma take you home [insane fucking nodding in the video]
Take your passport and shoes...
And your sedatives, BOO!"

And most of Joe the Lion.

>>61877303
The vocal delivery is amazing for the entirety of the song. I've never heard anything else like it.

>>61880165
Yeah for sure. The Polyphonic Spree's entire existence is based on this one bit.

If our love song could fly over mountain
Could laugh at the ocean, just like the films
There's no reason to feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines, it's absolutely true

>>61881010
I saw them live in around 2003 and Tim DeLaughter's young son nearly fell off the stage.
He came out to sing with them in his own little robe, which was funny, but it nearly turned very dark, very quickly.

Also, they're shit. It was a total fad for a while. They seemed a bit glib after a while.

>>61881064

And she'll lay him right down
But it could have been me
Yes, it could have been me
Why didn't I say

Somebody lied, but I say it's hip to be alive

>>61880827
someone like you

to start any fires

OH YOU, YOU WALK ON PAST

In the DJ music video when random people come up to kiss him

Also that part where he goes

Tiiiiime fliiiiiies when you're haaaaaving fuuuuuun
Break his heaaaaart, break her heaaaaaart
He used to be my boss and now he is a puppet dancer
I am a D.J., and I've got believeeeeers

I'VE GOT BELIEVERS
I'VE GOT BELIEVERS
I'VE GOT BELIEVERS
BELIEEEEEEEEVING MEEEEEEE

That insane guitar solo on It's No Game Pt 1

>I had so many dreams
>I had so many breakthroughs
>But you, my love, were kind,
>But love has left you dreamless
>The door to dreams was closed
>Your park was real dreamless
>Perhaps you're smiling now
>Smiling through this darkness
>But all I had to give was guilt for dreaming

The guitar solo in Moonage Daydream

I'M NOT
A MOODY GUUUY

ALL THE YOUNG DUUUUUUDES

and they were GOOOOONE in Bewlay Brothers. Such an emotional song

>>61882084
Fucking this. Such a killer solo.

when the vocals come in on Voyeur of Utter Destruction. sends shivers down my spine every time.

The little saxophone breaks in Boss of Me.

I love reading about all these favorite moments and thinking of how diverse they are. there's folk rock to industrial and everything in between. bowie was truly a musical god; you could hear how much he loved the art of music and how enthused he was to take it in every possible direction. the berlin trilogy alone showed how incredibly flexible he was as an artist. I'm so happy we have so much to listen to from him. he left us a truly wonderful gift.

>>61873708
>>IM DYING TO

You realize it's "I'm dying too" now.

the last four songs on Low or the chorus of Life on Mars?

>>61882535
No it's not. Read the lyric book.

>>61882691
Yes but the double meaning is pretty obvious, he just didn't put it in the lyrics because he didn't know when he'd be dead

>>61866527

I feel pleb for loving that as well but it is so good.

>>61882708
>Tfw wanna disagree but can't because Bowie isn't around to refute such claims

i guess if he was around we wouldn't be making such claims. So I'll give you that.

>I WAS LOOKING FOR YOUR ASS
Do you think he was singing about himself?

I've never understood why this one wasn't bigger, more well-known. Not that moment, really, just that it's a good song. The real huge thing, to me, is that with that video proving it, with that sound, that delivery, that was the return of the Thin White Duke. It's all there. It's odd to me that nobody seems to catch that, or at least mention it.

>>61866527
FUCKING THIS

>>61866527
Heroes is patrician as fuck, don't let the popularity of it fool you.

>>61883239
BTWN as a whole doesn't get the attention it deserves, it seems. It's full of great tracks, but it's always near the bottom of the list for whatever reason.

There's a star maaaaaannnn waiting in the sky

>The feels

THE HINTERLAND, THE HINTERLAND
WE'RE GONNA SAIL TO THE HINTERLAND
IT'S FAR FAR FAR FARFARFARFAR AWAY
IT'S A FAR FAR FAR FARFARFARFAR DA DADADA

>>61866093
man i thought i was getting over his death but just scrolling through this thread makes me hear all these songs in my head and choke up

anyway the "sweet thing/candidate/sweet thing" medley is probably my favorite and has multiple amazing moments

>so you scream out of line "i want you! i need you! anyone out there? any time?"
>tres butch little number whines "hey dirty, i want you! when it's good, it's really good, and when it's bad i go to pieces"

and a more obscure one is the weird little song "we prick you" on 1.outside

>mama can i kiss you daddy can i [...] you
>innocence passed me by
>wanna be screwing when the nightmare comes
>wanna come quick and die

>>61883483

>>61866527
the microphone setup was a stroke of genius. as bowie got louder they switched to more distant mikes so by the end he's actually screaming across the whole studio to a mike that's 50 feet away. it's a brilliant bit of audio fuckery by visconti and there's nothing pleb about it.

>>61866527
It's a fantastic moment. It might be obvious, but that doesn't mean it isn't the best.

A less well known one, the slap bass in the chorus of Never Let Me Down:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4ZZMbpUFMY

>Sits like a man but smiles like a reptile

AND HE WAS ALL RIGHT, THE BAND WAS ALL TOGETHER
YES HE WAS ALL RIGHT, THE SONG WENT ON FOREVER
YES HE WAS AWFUL NICE, REALLY QUIET OUT OF SIGHT
AND HE SANG AAAAAALLL NIGHT LOOOOOOONG

The synth at the end of ashes to ashes
The first time that string drops on the beweley brothers.

>>61866806
underrated Bowie song.

In young americans
>ain't there one damn song that can, make me break down and cryyyyyy

AAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL NIIIIIGGHHHHT

AND LOVE IS NOT LOVIING

Back vocals on Young Americans... True bliss

WE WERE SO TURNED OOOOOON

When he sings

CRACK BABY CRACK

>oh no love you're not alone, no matter what a fool you've been

>all I have is my love of love, but love is not loving

>IM UNDER JAPANESE INFLUENCE AND MY HONORS AT STAKE

>dat station to station intro

>>61885156
I like that song but if I'm being honest the Nixon lyrics make me cringe

in joe the lion
its monday... YOU SLITHERED THROUGH THAT GREASY PIPE SO FAST SO GOOD NO ONE SAW YOU HOPPING OVER ANY FREEWAY YOULL BE LIKE YOURE DREEEEEEAMS TONIGHT

Is it just me, or have they taken all his stuff off Youtube?

UNDERRATED TRACK

Also, any love for Bleed Like a Craze, Dad? Never see it mentioned but I love that song.

Also, recently -
"Now My Death is more than just a sad song!"

Obvious response, but how has nobody said the key change in Life on Mars?

That build up followed by SAAAAAAILORS

Threads like this highlight how little I actually focus on music.

I listen to it, and some musicians I really know a lot about, but to pick out "That brief moment where the strings come in" makes me feel bad about how little goes unnoticed.

Oh well, I've got the rest of my life to listen to Bowie... ;_;

>>61866093
this website really has become a fucking clone of reddit. David Bowie was a faggot and nobody listens to his music anymore. Now all of a sudden he's the best artist ever. Your all a bunch of faggots that couldnt form an original opinion if your life depended on it.

That solo on live version of Moonage Daydream
Opening riff on Cracked Actor
Saxophone on Subterraneans

>>61886797
this place has always been a clone of /r/music

>>61886823
I'm talking about the whole damn website at this point.

>>61886797
He's always been a /mu/ favourite and his death made current fans go back and new ones want to discuss him.

Hide the thread and keep your shit to yourself.

I liked the part when Reddit stopped flooding /mu/ with threads about this mediocre dadrocker since he died

>>61866093
Don't you wonder sometimes?
OF SOUND AND VISION

>>61886905
oh bullshit.

>>61866093
We met upon a hill, the night was cool and still
She sucked my dormant will
Mother, she blew my brain, I will go back again
My God, she shook me cold

"I know when to go out. I know when to say in. Get things done."

AND

"MY MAMA SAID "TO GET THINGS DONE YOU BETTER NOT MESS WITH MAJOR""

"I'll be a rock and rollin bitch for you" is a fantastic bit also.

The fade out in Lady Grinning Soul

I'm the contrarian fuck who tells people the I like Aladdin Sane more than Ziggy Stardust.

If Heroes didn't have that line about dolphins, it would be a perfect song.

>>61887547
I love that line.

>>61887520
But Diamond Dogs is best glam Bowie tho

I CATCH A PAPER BOY
BUT THINGS DON'T REALLY CHANGE

The bridge on Space Oddity with the stylophone and mellotron. Mindblowingly good.

The intro when the bass kicks in on "Stay"

First 40 seconds on Warzawa, those horns.

The final verse on Lazarus when the saxophone comes in "OH ILL BE FREE.. JUST LIKE THAT BLUEBIRD"

>>61883604
I never knew that, totally gonna cop that idea
