Bowie, David - Dead Man Walking Lyrics

Happy birthday David

This tape is a treasure

Is Reeves Gabrels a good guitarist?

where oh where did my Bowie go

Choice song given the occasion, tho what a beautiful noise

R.I.P. David Bowie.

little wonder......

Great version of this song.

YOU HAVE A WEIRD SHAPED HEAD CONAN BUT I LIKE YOU ANYWAY...

Как же он красив!

I miss him

Bowie with a 12 string guitar....doesn't get much better than this

He swivels his head
Tears his eyes from the screen
As his past puts him back in Atlantic City
There's not even a demon in Heaven or Hell
Is it all just human disguise?
As I walk down the aisle

And I'm gone gone gone
Now I'm older than movies
And I know who's there
When silhouettes fall
And I'm gone
Like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone through a crack in the past
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man walking
Three old men dancing under the lamplight
Shaking their sex and their bones
And the boys that we were
An alien nation in therapy
Sliding naked and new
Like a bad tempered child
On a rain slicked street
And I'm gone gone gone
Now I'm older than movies
And I know who's there
When silhouettes fall
And I'm gone
Like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone through a crack in the past
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man
Like a dead man walking

The man, he never lost the hair hahaha THE MAAAAAAN with the jopo

All hale the Sovereign!!!

When All The World was very young

This never gets old. RIP David. We miss you so much.

I think this has to be my favorite David Bowie song/performance ever. RIP sweet David. ✌🏻💕

awesome!

it is just DIFFERENT, it is the pure & naked version of a song that got an arrangement to fit the time... But you are right, I prefer this version too :-)

Does anyone know who that is playing with him? He looks familiar.

Reeves Gabrel...his guitarrist from the late 80s to the late 90s

I like both, but I prefer this version of the song. David's death had a profound effect on me. May he rest in peace.

1 year and 7.5 months later and I watch this for the millionth time and I just...ugh. Why. Of all the people to still be alive, destroying and tearing our world apart with their bullshit...why him? Why couldn't he have just aged out of life and not be yanked away? My only consolation about his passing is knowing that he had the love of his life, Iman, and a family that was with him and loved him immensely and he loved them as much. He wasn't alone and if you're going to go out the way he did, it seems like that was the right way to go. But...it still doesn't take out the WTF WHY?!?!? factor.

Dvdsky I totally hear ya. It’s so hard. But we all have our time to go, and January 10, 2016 was his time. He had finished the work he was meant to do and had gained the experiences and wisdom he needed to experience in that life as David Bowie. As much as it pains us, we all check out at some point. As I believe in an afterlife, or that our essence/soul/energy lives on beyond death, it’s comforting to know that we may have the chance to see those we care about in the next realm.

The Guitar Man seems to Madonna Wayne Gacy of MM.

Oh! What a track!

I keep coming back to this one. Simply beautiful vocals and guitar work. Love it.

LOVING THE ALIEN FOREVER IN MY HEART....

"in Atlantic City" goosebumps from hell <333

Gives me goosebumps every time...💔

It really doesn't get much better than this.

This is and was awesome. Jus' sayin'.

Best version so far, thanks for posting:)

Found it clearly that footstamping deadman is the man who sold the world, As known as Major Tom. Acoustic play doesn't hide the tune his shades.

I don't get it. How can he rock frosted tips and still look amazing?

I still have a copy of this on vhs. I recorded david on all these shows when I was a kid. if only in had a vhs player 😐

Breathtaking...

Anyone else think this is 1000x better than the origional?

One of my all time favourite Bowie songs!!!

On the contrary, I've just found another version to love alongside the original. Great take. Those acoustics are about as opposite of Taylor bright as you're going to hear. Got chills.

Im not sure, but man...both are absolutly spectaculars...I mean, this is just a fucking classic!
Damm...I miss Bowie :-(

this is the original version¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

@Joel Hernandez We all do bro.

I prefer this version to the Earthling version

Geez! Shivers down my spine and a lump in my throat! So beautiful! Bowie just never fails, does he? Such a loss! R.i p. David. Much loved and missed ...

I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!
Bowie is my best man.

maravilha , nessa versao acustica tambem

David Bowie and Reeves Gabrels, the only men able to make an acoustic MASTERPIECE with a jungle-techno-house song !

I suppose this version just shows you how Earthling was only toying with the jungle/drum'n'bass stylistics, but in fact containted rather conventional compositions. I'm very happy to have come across this version in any case.

David Robert Jones Bowie unplugged. It doesn't get any better than that.

What a GORGEOUS song. That's all I will say. RIP David.

Unbelievable how good that wildly textured song sounded when he stripped it completely down like that. His music always had such great composition, he could play the songs a dozen different ways and they would still be great.

Every time I hear this beautiful mans voice I feel....privileged

same ♡ that's a beautiful way to put it :) it's so true

I´m a great fan of Bowie for over 30 years now and discovered that version of the song only just 2 weeks ago...and I´m really addicted to it...

it was on a compilation of live conan performances titled live from studio 6a :)

jeez...this is beyond...

i'm hardcore crying still. Bowie was fucking brilliant . He sure left us an eternity full of brillaint music. oxoxox

Exactly! He’s gone, but he left us so much also. Thank you...RIP...

Beautiful

Tears are literally streaming down my face. You were and are a treasure too good for this plane of existence but you graced us with your presence, your many talents, your humor, and your unfathomable kindness anyway. Thank you our Starman, our Duke, our Goblin King. May your love be forever placed amongst the stars.

Calm down, you didn't even know the guy

The stars look very different today.

I couldn't have said it better myself. ❤️
