My dad was the sound engineer for Bowie during his Heathen and Reality tours. Whenever I hear this song I think of him.

[lesliescott]

After he got sober, married, became a father, not only did his art continue to mature in beautiful ways but he became a pretty incredible and thoughtful person.

My heart explodes with love for David Bowie.

This is so powerful. The back story for the whole Heathen album, is heartwrenching, and so special. So much was going on in his life at this point, and it's wonderful that he wrote it down. He shared something very special with us. David Bowie you will always be missed. Thank God for your music, and the time you shared yourself with us.

I believe Bowie is talking to God here. Anyone else agree with me? It really is mt fav from Heathen LP. I really want someone to tell me I am on the right track here. Thx.

[carolgarvey]

david was a very spiritual person. reflected in many of his songs. I would listen to him forever .... thanks for all the music dB.

Not gonna lie, the more i listen to bowies work and time pases, his work remains new and a great listening experience

[johnstairs]

One of his most powerful recent vocal performances.Always felt Bowie started exaggerating his mockney vocal style towards the end but perhaps this was Bowie giving us something else to explore as my daughter once said “how did you get by without the internet” I replied we had “Bowie”

[harvester]

Definitely one of Bowie’s best, Gail Ann Dorseys bass line is amazing !

[julianholman]

This is to me one Bowie's greatest musical poems - love the psychological complexity

[MoiraRussell]

Such a beautiful underrated gem of a song.

[johnbowie]

I sit here with tears in my eyes.
This song is so beautiful.
Thank you David!

[michellesiggs]

A song about one thing that is about so many.

[boogiemeister]

I wish I could've seen this guy live :(

[Romalvx]

Just yesterday night in Rome, a spectacular violin performer played many songs and one of them was "Is there Life on Mars?", and in the awesome silence of the huge dark hall, we could all feel David's immense music legacy flowing through. We were some thousand in tears.

I miss him every day. This performance touches my heart

Walking in the snowy street
Let me understand
Drifting down a silent park
Stumbling over land
Open up your heart to me
Show me who you are
And I would be your slave
Do you sleep in quietude?
Do you walk in peace?
Do you laugh out loud at me?
No one else that is free
Open up your heart to me
Show me all you are
And I would be your slave
I don't sit around and wait
I don't give a damn
I don't see the point at all
No footprints in the sand
I bet you laugh out loud at me
A chance to strike me down
Give me peace of mind at last
Show me all you are
Open up your heart to me
And I would be your slave
I don't sit and wait
I don't give a damn
I don't see the point at all
No footprints in the sand
I would give you all my love
Nothing else is free
Open up your heart to me
And I would be your slave

I could be having the worst day and watching him sing just astounds me !!

[pascalejanvier]

Les gens qui le connaissent peu oublient trop souvent qu'il avait une magnifique voix et une maîtrise vocale parfaite ! En plus de tous ses autres talents. Il me manque terriblement…

[thespringishere]

Whatever DB did he seemed to hold people enthralled. He was great.
