Bowie, David - See Emily Play Lyrics

Syd would have got some royalties. Good job.

missed..R.I.P Mr. Bowie

My daughter is named Emily

This is my favorite Pink Floyd cover ever

That's what Kira sang when {SPOILER}




killed Reimi Sugimoto

Lmao yes

As a Syd Barrett fan, I had no idea this existed. Bowie does a decent job. I mean how many people can do a Syd Barrett recording?

Wonder if Syd Barrett ever heard it?

David has my respect for many reasons, but one of them is that he was a fan of Syd's writing. I love them both, but Syd is my favorite of the two.

Rest in peace to both of them

Belle reprise de Syd Barrett ! C'est le titre le plus beau de PinUp's j'ai 14 vinyles de Bowie dont PinUp's il a repris de supers titres en particulier celui ci mais syd Barrett était un génie de l'écriture et du Space rock mais la version bowienne avec la batterie côté glam Space c'est super sympa ! J'adore

Bowie should have contacted Barrett, i feel Syd would have done some music with him. Imagine that: Bowie & Barrett LPs!

That'd be fucking strange.
That'd be fucking legendary.

How do you know he didn't?

@caribman10 Bowie said it in an interview after Barrett death. He has never met him or talked to him. He seemed a bit sad about it.

Float on a river forever and ever
Emily...

A brilliant cover of a fantastic song. Agree about the ending sounds like a classic musical track. Pinups is a great album.

Syd was part of the inspiration for Space Oddity...

RIP Syd, David and Rick

And Mick Ronson...

And Bowie

Brilliantissime cover !

Shat that why did you do that

Shat that

Esta canción la escribió originalmente Syd Barret de pink floyd, ya se que ya lo dijeron, pero quería escribirlo en español

Syd would deserve at least that, no, David?

Great cover, marred though by the idiotic, cartoon monster chorus, the same stupid stuff Bowie put into "The Bewley Brothers" and "After All". Without that, this would be even better than Pink Floyd's original.

The.Laughing.Gnome.

It does muck it up a bit, although it's not that dissimilar in result from Pink Floyd's. Doesn't bother me much at all in Bewlay Brothers or After All; somehow, if I didn't know about the gnome I don't think it would bother me a bit.

I like it a lot.

"Without that, this would be even better than Pink Floyd's original."OK after I stopped laughing, I can say "Hardly."

Bowie tested,
Barret approved.

The ending reminds me of King Crimson

I'm selling my David bowie knife. Because it sucks mc jagger dick just like the real David bowie. I want crocodile dundees bowie knife. At least it's killed crocs instead of suckin cocks

This is the pinnacle of the album. I played the grooves off this album.

He was the perfect mime.

If he wasn't a creative genius he could have out covered any band.

Arguably Bowie at his most Proto-Gothic period prior to Diamond Dogs

Beatle ending

That outro's pretty awesome, I must say.

What the actual fuck am I listening to? Syd called, he said this is just too fucking high even for Him.

PinUps is an album full of covers. These songs are all songs David was either inspired by or enjoyed listening to. He liked Syd Barrett.

zephyra He certainly shows his skill in breathing new life to this song... :)

He alluded in an interview that his parents were Pink Floyd fans, thus he was influenced by Pink Floyd very early...

, that was Bowie's statement.

I'm not sure how he did it, but Bowie somehow managed to make an already surreal Barret-era Pink Floyd song even weirder.

Nah, but it's a good cover.

This is like Pink Floyd's exact same song...

I think you are being sarcastic 🤔

You mean not an original cover of the song?

Yeah, no it isn't....
