David Bowie - When I Met You Lyrics

This isnt just a pop song. Its a guide to spiritual awakening

It's like killing joke meets bowie

This song is for someone, who I loved, but now hates me
This is for you

Song punches me in the gut due to memories

This brings me dark memories, but I love this song.

Just wow! One of the most emotional songs David sung. Brilliant.

beautiful

Gran cancion del Maestro Bowie

This is from BlackStar?? Oh okay nvm

★ ∞

I hear a cry in his voice

Fuck. Didn't know this existed till now. Holy shit made my day.

I never tire of #DavidBowieMusic!

A hidden gem and one of his best. Damn, this guy knew sound. When the rhythm guitar comes in just ever so slightly out of tune it blows me away.

Not about Iman. This man is a poet. Read between the lines, the sound of his voice. He sang for Blue. There is love

Who is Blue?

Man , I would have loved to see him perform this song live

Thank David

Bass line af.

What really kills me about this song is how lively he sounds. As if he's got a lot more left to come.

here i am. next to you. forever

Such a beautiful love song can sing a person who is going to leave.....Bowie is a really super artist!

I still miss you ! It’s not getting easier

You have just everything
But nothing at all
Now the moon is dark
Feels like pain again
You could feel my breath
You opened my eyes
For I could not see
When I met you

When I met you (You're feeling depressed)
I could not speak (You're drowning in pain)
You opened my mouth (You're walking in midst)
You opened my heart (You're leaving again)
My spirit shows (She tore you down)
The marks and stains (Happens all the same)
Could not exist (You were afraid)
When I met you
Now it's all the same
It's all the same
The sun is gone
It's all the same
But when I met you
When I met you
When I met you
When I met you

When I met you
You were afraid (When I met you)
She stole your heart (When I met you)
You don't understand (When I met you)
Should be ashamed (When I met you)
You should have walked (I was the walking dead)
She tore you down (I was kicked in the head)
She tore you down

You actually become the center of my world
The seams of my life
The streams of daydream
Like the wounds of a friend
Another the kiss of a foe
The pack of a blackened eye
A life or the crown

When I met you
I could not speak
How I met you
Then I met you
My spirit grows (You're feeling again)
My kind of truth (You're drowning in pain)
Could not exist (You are afraid)
When I met you
How It's all the same
It's all the same
The sun is gone
It's all the same
But when I met you
When I met you
When I met you
When I met you

When I met you (You were afraid)
When I met you (She stole your heart)
I was the walking dead (She tore you down)
I was kicked in the head (She tore you down)
It was such a time (When I met you)
It was such a time (When I met you)
I was crushed inside (When I met you)
I was torn inside
When I met you
When I met you
I was too insane
Could not trust a thing
I was off my head
I was filled with truth
It was not God's truth
Before I met you

David and I were born on the same day, he is still fascinating me

Love this song so much..can't stop listening to It!..

Has a theme of Lodger’s repetition about this...

Repose en paix !

Miss this great man. Thank You David.

This song, seems to me and my wife to be David Bowie singing from the futuristic vantage point to his then present and past self saying goodbye and tying up loose ends unfortunately David's body gave in both before his mind could I'm kind of glad his mind didn't give in,because it was such a great mind!. Although some of the songs seem to be almost 2 year old from the Lazarus musical our venue to me know the plan blaze and this one!!!...👁👌🏻💛 David Jones played many characters in his life including Ziggy Stardust Aladdin sane and Halloween Jack just to mention a few he was known as David Bowie and to meet Hill always be David Bowie or Barry I miss you every day and I see a blue bird or a pigeon and I often think of you I'd like to thank you here and now for saving my life through your music and your continuity and support annual and willingness to convert to the mainstream you are sorely missed by me and a lot of others I'm sure I have a tear in my eye as I say this but rest in peace Debbie for ever amen

Could not trust a thing
Now it's all the same (Now it's all the same)
It's all the same (It's all the same)
The sun is gone (The sun is gone)
When I met you (He stole your heart)
before I met you

:You should had walked, She tore you down"

his brilliance never waned. Love him.

Thank you master. You will always live in our hearts. ★

So happy

It's been two years, miss you Starman...

#BowieForever

I wish everyone could meet the Bowie I met. As they say, transformative.

Kinda 'Heroes Side 2-ish', very cool.

Ich denke oft an ihn....

💖🔥♂💋★⚡∞🐦

Love this song, bass is so key in this song as is every instrument in many songs

Another year coming up. January 8th, 2018. Will there be new Bowie music released again on his Bday?!

great love song

No matter how much I know he's gone, I don't want to admit it. Don't say it! Then it WON'T be so!

I first met you in one of my most difficult times, years ago, and even after your death you still speak to me and help me and make me not feel lonely, during all the times (the happy and especially the sad days). I hope you're fine, wherever you are now. Thank you, David. I will always miss you.

Play this at my wedding

This goes out to my most treasured person in the world.
Thank you for being at my side.
I will love you always.

love him im crying

Still can't get over the fact he is no longer with us, but his music will live forever. God bless you David Bowie. Will never stop loving you.

THIS IS A SIGN FROM GOD THAT BOWIE IS IN HEAVEN

Maybe, why not.

Having difficulty with this EP; too dark and sad; maybe another time I could get used to it but not now; will concentrate on BlackStar and backwards...

он боялся умирать и видел дальше

I am only just now bringing myself to take in more of Blackstar. It is nice to see comments only two weeks old. One of my fav comments I have read was "Rock in peace you beautiful creature"

Who the fucking fuck disliked

I am the world's biggest Sylvian fan, but the loss of Bowie I still can't recover from completely. What a great bloke he was/is.

Wow, the opening discordance is reminiscent of The Fall.

B E A U T I F U L L

This is so amazing. It looks like he might have really enjoyed parts of the dying process. I hope we can all learn from this and start living and stop being afraid to die. I know he's changed my life for the better and I don't really feel his absence - I feel him even more present with all of this great unreleased music.

the sun is gone

Bowie you son of a bitch. Making me cry time and time again. releasing music exactly one day after a year of you returning to the stars. You will be remembered and loved for generations to come.

This song , this song at the end is so special for me... that he tells it. It was not God's truth! !!

Never missed a dead musician until Bowie died...RIP.

Dovremo ascoltare anche le registrazioni di quando cantava in doccia??

certo …. per me anche mentre legge l'elenco telefonico; mi dispiace per te ma tutto quello che ha cantato è ormai divino.

Questo invece è uno scarto di Reality...anche qui si sente benissimo.....triste e vergognoso.

Bowie lives on within us all..

I miss you

I wish I could find a wife that is a true - like me - bowie fan

Oh wow! I bet there is such a back catalogue of Bowie work to last humanity. I hope so. I miss him still.

Oh that marvelous voice!!! We love you Starman,forever and ever!!

Beautiful Bowie

His name!? BOWIE. That's enough

strangers when we meet

I love this song. I live this song

He graced us with years of new music. RIP DAVY!

You knew just everything
But nothing at all
Now the luminous dark
Feels like pain again.
You could feel my breath
You opened my eyes
For I could not see
When I met you

When I met you (Your feelings again)
I could not speak (You’re drowning in pain)
You opened my mouth (You’re walking in mist)
You opened my heart (You’re living again)
My spirit rose (She tore you down)
The mark and stains (It was all the same)
Could not exist (You were afraid)
When I met you

Now it’s all the same
It’s all the same
The sun is gone
It’s all the same
But when I met you
When I met you
When I met you
When I met you

………………… (When I met you)
……………….... (You were afraid)
When I met you (She stole your heart)
When I met you (You don’t understand)
When I met you (You should be ashamed)
When I met you (You should have known)
I was the walking dead (She tore you down)
I was kicked in the head (She tore you down)

The edge had become
The centre of my world
The seams of my life
The streams of debris

Neither wounds of a friend
Nor the kiss of a foe
The peck of a blackened eye
An eye for the crowd

When I met you
I could not speak
I met you
Then I met you
My spirit rose (Your feelings again)
My kind of truth (You’re drowning in pain)
Could not exist (You’re walking in mist)
When I met you (You’re living again)
Now it’s all the same (She tore you down)
It’s all the same (It was all the same)
The sun has gone (You were afraid)
It’s all the same
But when I met you
The dream of time (When I met you)
When I met you
When I met you

When I met you (Your feelings again)
When I met you (You’re drowning in pain)
I was the walking dead (You’re walking in mist)
I was kicked in the head (You’re living again)
It was such a crime (She tore you down)
It was such a time (When I – when I)
I was crushed inside (When I – when I)
I was torn inside (When I)

When I met you
When I met you
I was too insane
Could not trust a thing
I was off my head
I was filled with truth
It was not God’s truth
Before I met you.

+Edlin Paolone thank you very much for writing down the lyrics !

I love Bowie, and the most of his music, but this one is really not impressing me. Sorry.

Spectacular..

Seguimos echando de menos a David Bowie. Su muerte por inesperada se convirtió en un triste lamento, del que todavía no nos hemos recuperado. Así que cualquier nueva publicación se recibe con animada esperanza. El EP "No plan", que incluye tres de los últimos temas grabados por el fallecido David Bowie, se publicará en formato CD el próximo día 24 y en vinilo el 21 de abril, La discográfica Sony además en la venta del EP incluye también una edición limitada en vinilo -por encargo y numerada- con un vinilo blanco y una litografía exclusiva. Las tres canciones: "No Plan", "Killing A Little Time" y "When I Met You", extraídas del musical "Lazarus", fueron publicadas anteriormente, a título póstumo, en el EP digital "No Plan", y anteriormente estaban disponible tan solo en "The Lazarus Cast Album". A principios de este mes, el EP digital "No Plan" llegó al número uno en las listas de iTunes en once países, entre ellos el Reino Unido, Holanda, Dinamarca, Irlanda, Noruega, Finlandia y Suecia, y entró en el Top 20 en más de 30.
Los números no cesan, pero la pena por su fallecimiento nos sigue acompañando. David Bowie continúa en nuestra memoria y su legado prevalecerá mientras el rock se siga llamando rock. Gracias por tu música.
Música independiente novedades.

David Bowie never died, look to the stars and you'll see a starman.

Met him in 1972 - good to see that new "bowieites" are joining our ranks every day!

This is possibly my favourite track by him.

Little by little I get through this entire album. When I first got it after David's death, I couldn't get through the first two songs without sobbing. The world lost a true talent and one that will never be duplicated. David, you are missed and loved.

The fact that this has dislikes is the reason wars happen.

Some artists never day- David Bowie is one of them. It is fascinating. He has departed more than one year now, but we can still enjoy his new work. This man was living, thinking and creating for the future. So, yeah, thank you Mr. Bowie for inspiring me in my daily life through your different works of art and visionary messages in each of your creations

almost like Joy Division

Yes, thanks for mentioning it. I feel like there is a huge JD influence on Blackstar and its outtakes, although i haven't read anything about Bowie listening to JD at the end of his life. But songs like this one, or "Killing A Little Time" feel very Joy Division to me (something in the synths and the bass lines, also the cruching guitar).

Sorry for my english, french guy here, missing Bowie very much !

Tomasz Borowski Bowie is much better than joy division

I could see an awesome cover of this song, have it a bit more punchy, youthful. It already has a youthful tune and subject, but a kid could also do it.

I feel like this was his goodbye to his wife:(

The end sounds like he's truly bid us farewell and has, for the last time, flown off on his spaceship.
Ya blew our minds Starman, we'll never forget ya.

D.E.A.T.H.

love forever

love this got a low album feel to it

This song has sparked my love for David Bowie and I've been listening to him EVERY DAY since this came out. I wish they would release all of the unreleased tracks that they probably have

Mr. Bowie went out rockin' just as much if not more, than he did when his career started. Contrast that to David Gilmour with his recent jazz and elevator music. I'm older now and prefer Bowie but still put on David's great music too.

these last few singles gave me closure from David Bowie after black star came out I always wondered what kind of bowie would we hear after that and the thought of him making stuff like that kept me thinking but these show me what he'd be like afterwards and I can accept this
