This song means so much to me. Having lost touch long ago, I'm now keen to find anyone else who lived at Waterloo Fire Station squat in 87-88. The night The Clash played at our party, setting fire to a VW Beetle inside the fire station singing London's Burning one of many wild memories.

Before I moved down to London I met Nico and spent a few hours with her in Prestwich (Manchester) the year Bowie played there. So you've probably an idea of the scene I mean;) Love HX. Over 50 now, but I'll never fuckin surrender ! :)

Yo it's 2023, almost 2024, nearly 8 years since bowie passed, and this comment nearly made me cry, just thinking about the emotion behind it. Bowie was so great. Oddly enough I miss him more now than when he first passed because I've grown to adore his music so much. Blackstar was what really got me into Bowie, oddly enough. Such strange things, emotions.

Hi - like many on here I don't think we realised that Bowie did a cover version of this- having just listened to the original my finger hovered over the play button and simply out of curiousity decided to listen to this version - very glad I did his vocals sound wonderful and although I still prefer the original its a testimant to his artistry that he can create a version that he made uniquely his own-still play Sorrow which I bought when I was 14 -all time favourite is Golden Years epitomised Bowie at his coolest for me.

Ray Davies is a far greater lyricist than John Lennon.

@thebrazilianatlantis165 8 жыл бұрын

"greatest song writer" We were talking about lyricists, and you're trying to shift the argument, perhaps because (with occasional nice exceptions) Lennon wasn't a great lyricist. Being the best lyricist in the _Beatles_ doesn't make you Elvis Costello as a lyricist, let alone Ray Davies.

@thebrazilianatlantis165 8 жыл бұрын

"Song writer and lyricist are the same thing" Wrong. When Bernie Taupin and Elton John write songs together, for instance, Bernie writes the words, Elton writes the music, and they are collaborating as songwriters. Google can't tell me what _I_ think about the relative merits of Ray Davies and John Lennon as lyricists. Or what you think, if you're smart.

@thebrazilianatlantis165 8 жыл бұрын

Now you're muddling how _influential_ John Lennon's lyrics have been with how good they are, again a shifting of the argument -- which I'm guessing is something you do by "intuition"...
