1001 Albums Summary

His voice is ethereal and feels like a man and a woman at the same time. He sings about English suburban life and about love. He feels larger than life singing about mere mortals. Punchy guitars and lyrics, sporadic piano, and crunchy drums. Bowie is dramatising his voice and tells a story more than he is singing.

Funky cowbell and dings and whistles are great and so fun. Beat is so clear through whole song. So laid back but still with energy. I like the ensemble feel.

Still holds up. Sounds like it was recorded in outer space or he was standing 10 fr from the mic. I’m counting on you is favourite.
