- This is my musical tribute to English singer-songwriter, actor and music legend David Bowie. Piano: Michael J. Peña. Vocal track accompaniment: David Bowie.
Style: #Glamrock / #Artrock / #Pop / #Piano
"Lady Stardust" is a song written by David Bowie that appeared on the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972). The song is generally interpreted as alluding to fellow glam rock icon Marc Bolan. The original demo version was entitled "He Was Alright (A Song for Marc)." A 4-track demo version of the song was sold as a picture disc single during the "David Bowie Is" exhibition in Japan in 2017. I do not own the vocal track in this video. It belongs to the rightful owners.
Lyrics:
People stared at the makeup on his face
Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace
The boy in the bright blue jeans
Jumped up on the stage
And lady stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and disgrace
And he was alright, the band was altogether
Yes he was alright, the song went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite out of sight
And he sang all night long
Femme fatales emerged from shadows
To watch this creature fair
Boys stood upon their chairs
To make their point of view
I smiled sadly for a love
I could not obey
Lady stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and dismay
And he was alright, the band was altogether
Yes he was alright, the song went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite paradise
And he sang all night long
All night long
Oh how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name
And he was alright, the band was altogether
Yes he was alright, the song went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite out of sight
He sang all night long - Hudba
Only version I've seen that is accurate. Thanks ❤
Greetings Annelise and my pleasure! Thank you so much for your compliment! I'm so happy you enjoyed it and appreciate you taking time to view it!
A tutorial of this would be fantastic, you are the first one I see play the piano and not the vocals, I absolutely loved it
Bowie singing from space, pretty good
Such beauty created by Bowie
Thanks so much! Seems like everyone else plays the solo/vocal version of this song on piano rather than the actual piano track!
Excellent accompaniment,really impressive.
Remarkable! Thank you!
I want so much synthesia version you're one of few who did chords not melody but i can't read notes and i don't see your fingers good to play it T_T amazing!
Thanks a lot!
Sublime interpretation T-T
Awesome video, and excellent playing (especially with hardly ever using the right thumb lol). I haven't heard this song since about 1982 when I was 16. Really brings back memories. Right I'm off to listen to the real thing :-)
Absolutely incredible
Thank you ever so much for viewing & your wonderful feedback! I very much appreciate it, my dear friend 🙏
Brilliant. Was able to steal a few ideas for some pieces I was missing. Particularly with the fills, thanks so much :)
James, my pleasure! I'm happy to hear that - thank you so much for taking the time to view and take what you needed from it!
You wouldn’t happen to have any sheets would you?
Kade, unfortunately I don't as I'm a "natural" type of player and learned this entirely by ear.
You hate your right thumb don’t you?
Haha! That's actually a keen observation! It's a natural occurrence...especially in this case when I play chordal-type. When I solo though, different story: my thumb gets in some work! Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed!
@@Hamerzya of course I enjoyed, great arrangement
Wow I never even noticed, but now I see it watching again. Well observed.
@@Hamerzya Is there a particular reason you don't generally use your right thumb for chords? They must be harder to play and I applaud your skill at it. Is there a physical problem with your thumb or is it just something you got to doing through accidental habit? I'm curious.
@@peteskyrunner4845 Ah you noticed too!...keen of you too! And I thought I'd be able to sneak such thumb obscurity by everyone! Anyhow, this is 100% attributed to and stems from: a tiny Casio (Casiotone MT-68) keyboard I initially started teaching myself to play on, at age 19. My thumb naturally functioned as the "anchor". My style developed as such over the years. However, depending on the playing style, I do utilize my thumb esp. for speed/lead soloing. Thanks for viewing and interacting!
