This is one of Bowie's songs that I really love. It has got a true meaning.He sings it with his own, special and unique way. I think he has the most beautiful blue eyes, he is very talented and a legendary glam rock singer. Really glad to had the chance to hear to his work and feel all the feelings that he want to pass to his fans. I love his persona Ziggy Stardust. Some people like him, some others not. The reason is one: If you decide to listen Bowie's songs you have to be able to find the hidden, true meaning of the lyrics and then take a trip to his world. It is a strange world but that's the thing that makes David being special and unique. David I am a true fan, thanks for giving me a chance to dream... Original Song: Jacques Brel

Dec 5, 2008 - I actually prefer the Bowie's version - he made a rock anthem out of it.

Dec 8, 2008 - Cher Plumplum09 vous avez mille fois raison: Belge moi-même, connaisseur de Brel, je trouve la version Bowie moins pathétique et,en un mot, supérieure. Nà!

Dec 19, 2008 - Rubbish - this is about the only decent thing that Jacques Brel gave the world.....and Bowie knocks him into a cocked hat !

Dec 20, 2008 - No wonder you do not like it as you have no culture. Bowie does (and he is no fool), and this is why he translate one of the best song that has been written. I know htat my comment will be trashed but so what!!!!Speak my mind

Dec 30, 2008 - David Bowie is wierd...

Mariekesone Says:

Dec 31, 2008 - Amsterdam - Jacques Brel (English Subtitles) Bowie makes a reasonable good impression of the words in the song, but in my opinion you can't beat the original! Enjoy that one too, if you like this one:)
