Lyrics
When I believed in nothing
I called her name
Trapped in a high-dollar joint
In some place
I called her name
And though my days are slipping by
And nights so cruel
I thought I'd die
She danced her little dance
Until it made me cry
She was shaking like this honey doing that
When I needed soul revival
I called your name
When I was falling to pieces
I screamed in pain
Your soothing hand that turned me round
A love so real
Swept over me
Never let me down, She never let me down[x2]
When all your faith is failing, Call my name
When you've got nothing coming, Call my name
I'll be strong for all it takes
I'll cover your head
Until the bad stuff breaks
I'll dance my little dance
Until it makes you smile
Shaking like this honey doing that
Never let you down I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down[x2]
About David Bowie:
David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, "Heroes,” Let's Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie at 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

I don't care what people say...80s Bowie rules. His voice is amazing here, and I adore the music.
You right 'bowie is thé best ❤
Bowie never lets me down... 😭
I miss him and his music💔
We still have his music, Debra Wiley.
Never! Love forever.
Until he died....😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
Bowie never lests us down no matter if he is somewhere in Mars.
This era of Bowie has such an ethereal vibe. I adore it.
Then please don't buy the remixed version. It's complete crap IMHO.
@@CamPalinSmith It doesn't. The McNulty mix has strings instead of synthesizers, and the castanets were removed in that version. You can hear the synthesizers and castanets clearly here. This is the original version, and I've checked.
I actually enjoyed his hairstyle here
@@uscman He looked SO HOT with that hairstyle :)
David Bowie is the most romantic man that ever lived 💕
Bowie, man. Many would say this is a long way from being his best work, but that doesn't stop it from being better than about 99% of pop music.
On the contrary imo this is amongst his best. Magical.
Yep, just like the late great Prince, Bowie at his weakest was better than a whole lot of other artists at their strongest. #RIP to both music legends.
The bass is amazing
Over to Theodore Sturgeon.
There is no genre better than any other, and thats just fact
This song is SO underrated! A stellar performance by David and every single person who worked on it. Unbelievable stuff. The guitars, bass, drums, harmonica, just sublime.
Never had any addiction for Bowie - but he caught me through the Labyrinth and now with every song I hear ... with every move he makes... he is still with us.
Он поймал меня наасегда! Моя любовь умерла с ним.
Absolutely right 👍❤❤❤❤❤
i love how in so many of these music videos he just appears in the strangest places and starts singing its so funny
Emi Dots i like playing a game of "where's going to appear from this time" its like where's wally but good
since when do any music videos ever make sense
Emi Dots reminds me of Stan Lee
I habe Bowie, the first 1987 in Berlin have seen ,live.
Unforgetten.
Yeah like most of the time he just appears from the shadow's
Super underrated song
It's a sin...it's wonderful!
Bowies self described “Phil Collins era”. Still I love it so much. Sorry to mention Phil Collins.... let’s move on
Cheers
@@samsuzza2008 I love the title track, Bang Bang (written by his BFF: Iggy Pop), Day-In Day-Out, and Time Will Crawl out of what is considered one of Bowie’s weakest albums.

I start to think the pain has gone. Then, I just play his old videos and start to remember I really miss him so much. ❤️
We all love you, mr. Bowie.
i couln't put it better .... i didn't (couldn't) watch his videos for a while, now i'm coming back to it ..... like you said, "think the pain has gone" .... truly, painfully missed!!!!!!
Man, that punched me right in the gut, Emilio. Is somebody chopping onions in here?
What a wonderfull person🌋🏝️🎇🎆
I hear you @Emilio…
I don't think we'll ever completely get over not having David on the planet. I miss him so much. I shed SO many tears those first two years after his passing. It was like losing part of me in that part of me went with him when he left.
The Legend will never die ❤
The Beatles : Dont let me down
Bowie : NEVER LET ME DOWN !!!!

ELO- Dont bring me down
my good god he was incredible. Every movement he made was so sexy and cool, there will never be anyone like him again
It's been seven years now since he's been gone. I'll never stop listening. God bless you David! 🤗💖
Underrated AF. Love that guitar, love those drums, and that voice.
Don't forget that harmonica, makes the song more unique 👌
He is there for us as the world falls down.
his outfit was amazing and he was so beautiful... for me he's the most beautiful person ever
How wonderful that David wrote this for his long-time personal assistant Coco....
RIP David Bowie. May your music live on in our hearts.
87 , I was 5 years old glass spider blew me away, 2024 42, now and every day david talks to me ❤
Bowie has never let me down. ⚡️
I know that David wasn't crazy about this album after he made it but I love it especially this song
He probably liked this one since it was personal. He wrote it for Coco. He loved her.
@@TinyDancer250 Who's Coco?
@@rodhubbard6320 His personal assistant, best friend, and guardian to both his kids. She repeatedly saved his life in the '70s. She was with him for the last 43 years of his life. She was with family at his death bed. He left her $2 million and the full dividends from Possum Inc.
Google "David Bowie Coco" and pics will come up. YT won't let me bloody attach a photo.
@@TinyDancer250 Thank you for that information. Bowie was SUCH A GOOD DUDE.
Coco is the woman who made sure David ate actual food when he was binging on cocaine in '75 and '76. He almost didn't make it, but she got him through the worst part of his life and helped him to be the person he was destined to be. She's incredible.
There's something about this song, David's voice, the way he sings, it ravishes me softly from my solar plexus to my mind..
a feeling as of demure giggles inside.
It was a companion and comfort when I was a somewhat solitary & shy teen, I liked to fall asleep with this playing on my walkman
Beautiful thought, camelshit
what a cool story, thanks for sharing

This album gets way too much hate, one of my favorites for sure
I love the title track, Bang Bang (written by his BFF: Iggy Pop), Day-In Day-Out, and Time Will Crawl out of what is considered one of Bowie’s weakest albums. Tbh his debut album is my least favorite album by him as I personally feel and believe he’s done much better music since then.
Bowie hated this album.
I liked it when I got it... I was a teenager.. I still love it (no longer a teenager😁).
Yes! I’ve been saying that for thirty years.
I think David disliked it for personal emotional issues, it’s a great album.
Yeah I love it, amongst his best work in my opinion, don't know why him and the critics hated it so much. So good.
I remember sitting in a bus through germany on the way back from croatia in 1987 listen to this great song i was immidiately a fan
Bowie wasn't afraid to make a genuine, hopeful little ballad now and then. These days we are lacking the courage to express the happier, innocent, less critical things. "It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate -- it takes guts to be gentle and kind."
bowie is really a forever gentle man.
The Smiths
Changes was my favorite
Fun fact: Peter Frampton actually played lead guitar on most of the songs on the album this song is from, Never Let Me Down, and the subsequent Glass Spider tour. Apparently he & Bowie were childhood friends. Unfortunately, Frampton isn't present in this video, but he is in the video for "Time Will Crawl".
Also, I'm seeing him live with Steve Miller Band on Monday, so I'm super hyped for that!
Peter's dad was Bowie's art teacher for 4 years when they were teens.
@pasquale davino The Glass Spider tour was absolutely brilliant, saw it twice
I've lost count of how many voices David had.
The Rockstar of rockstars,Legendary ,beautiful David Bowie.
While it gets a lot of hate, I think David survived the 80s with much more class than other Classic Rock acts
He started with more too.
because he was on coke throughout it schizining out
uh huh
@@adamsandler1211 He was actually sober throughout the 80s. He quit coke in the late 70s.
hook259 I thought I read about him occasionally dabbling in coke in the 80s and during sound and vision tour
The new generation loves you! Including me!!! Kisses of Brazil, rest in peace.
This album doesn't get enough love because Bowie was on top of his game here, expressing his respect for american rhythm and blues.Also the opening of this video is a nod to the marathon dance contest in the 1930's and possibly 40's.
What's NOT to love?! The 80's and BOWIE! Epic as fuck!
The legend that is David Bowie 🎵🎵🎸🎸👍👍👍
I really love this song, especially the Bowie harmonica that's it makes me feel nostalgic.
He never let me down. Only when he died .😔
There’s no way he could let anyone down when he passed away, oh cmon, with blackstar?? He was the top even after dead.
beautiful boys, bad girls...nothing to win...bowie we've missed you yet.
Never Let Me Down is a great Bowie tune. I really love the remix version with a harder snare drum. And saxophone. Just another genius interpretation from David. Great arrangement. God I love David Bowie's FANTASTIC MUSIC.👍
Rudy Overlord Cool. Thanks for the info. Didnt know that. Great song. A lot of people dismiss this album. But i really like it.😊
Never Let Me Down. It started off so beautifully. I was 14. I had seen Labyrinth the summer before. I fell in deep for David. I knew my life was changing into my future because of his influence and the Childs Vista library. Imagine that you are barely 13 and you sit down in the theater and walk out knowing you’ll be back in that theater to see Labyrinth again, 21 times. One time you sneak in. And you see albums you can’t afford so you fill out Columbia House for Let’s Dance and Tonight but you’re 13. You have no money. Then the RCA catalogue disappears! Disputes! Then This! Let me tell you it ached my body and wore me down waiting for this album and it exploded my neurons and made my brain axons grow trying to understand it all. He made the right album for us Labyrinth babies. The East Los Angeles issues were the right pace to worry about as a kid as seen in Day In Day Out. With his roller skates I loved him so much but I got the message, I just didn’t realize his Diamond Dogs character was on roller skates in his sketches. When I saw that on a V&A David Bowie Is promotional video my mind connected the dots. I got hold of my good friend John Rowlands and told him what I saw and realized about the hidden connection of NLMD and DD. Then I saw a clip here on YT with David discussing the excitement of what was to come and that he had bought the rights to two books he was going to make into movies and I thought oh. I used the research skills I gained from his READ poster campaign for America’s libraries to see what they could have been. An amazing story started unfolding when I tried to imagine which books they might have been. David did change his level of enthusiasm during this tour. I am so glad that he was able to get the life he did after this album and all that came with it.
Kethertomalkuth Orchard I absolutely LOVE your story. Even though I am much younger, I have been a seasoned Bowie fan and I love to hear how Bowie had changed other lives forever as soon as they discover him. Thank so you much for sharing. What a time warp to your emotional roller coaster as a teen in the 80's 💕💕💕
Christine Shane love this story too, david will have fans forever because he was a true icon. Actor, writer, artist.... he’s a legend!
Thank you both Lou and Christine Shane. I’m so excited that Laurie Anderson has added her touch to Shining Star. I can’t wait for it! I covered it with GarageBand five years ago! Here’s the video I made to go with my cover. I wasn’t able to finish though. Let me know how you like it. czcams.com/video/CS2lXBrtOtk/video.html again, thanks for noticing my comment. It is really important to me that these videos and songs from David get discussed.
Beautifully written, Kethertomalkuth Orchard. I am older than you and had a similar experience of David Bowie meaning a lot to me when I was young. He made me feel like I didn't have to be like everybody else. I didn't have that choice. I believe that he did that for many people. For me, it was the girl with the mousey hair and the sailors fighting in the dancehall from "Life on Mars" that got me through my sixteenth year. This video is also charming and romantic. I love the metaphor about people never letting each other down depicted in a dance marathon. I hope to someday meet a man and have a relationship where I fieel like this. It will be a first.
Same here. 14 and had just seen Labyrinth and was lovesick.
This is my all time favorite song - EVER! No frills or thrills type of thing but this song just gets me every time. ♥️
One of the greatest musicians of the 1970- 1980s Genius. Helped so many great talents. I could wright a book. What a man..
Good way to start the day! 💜
and to end it!***
The biggest tribute Bowie paid Schwab was in the 1987 song he wrote about her, Never Let Me Down. He described it as one of his most personal, and it included the lyrics:
When I needed soul revival I called your name
When I was falling to pieces I screamed in pain
Your soothing hand that turned me round
A love so real swept over me
Hello Coco Schwab
I loved how he walked out with a little girl. So priceless. Miss you David😢☺️
I always wonder who she's meant to be, his daughter, niece, goddaughter, or is he just babysitting/childminding for her
@@jeanmichellelaurent I don’t know
Watching him perform here is breath-taking!
The best way to wake up
How can one man be so gorgeous and talented. David you are one beautiful phenomenal genius. Love you. 😍😘❤️💋👏💗 xxxx
When I needed soul revival I watched this vid ...
Nice video, love the muted color and David playing harmonica.
His voice is magic...
Wonder why these masterpieces are still under a million!

Extremely underrated album
So. 1987. this album. My Koss portable cassette player and headphones. And this album. I don't think anyone else listened to this album in my little corner of the world. I was absolutely transported into some imaginary, surreal, other plane every time I listened - mostly due to the influence of the title track, Time Will Crawl, and Glass Spider. I escaped whatever it was that i was running from with this music in my head between those headphones. I guess it was just the right stuff for me at just the right time?
One of my favorite songs thank y'all
Brazil! Eternal David Bowie 👏👏👏
Hate, because,they do not understand,what a magical artist he was. Tis such a shame of the ignorant.,who truly do not understand; how gifted he was. And that he gave his all when he performed. Alas,the ignorant are truly blind!!!?.
His less popular songs are nice to discover. Nice sounds.
I heard this song when I was a teen in the 80's once, then a week ago in some channel on satellite radio there it was, and after 30 some years i was able to remember 100% all the music, like a time machine, and here I am remembering my teen years and watching and listening to this fantastic music. very underrated song.
Me encanta "never Let me down" de mis canciones favoritas de BOWIE !!! México presente 🇲🇽
X2 También soy fan de Bowie from México 🇲🇽👩🎤
Hola ! Nunca había escuchado esta canción y me encanta, saludos de 🇲🇽 y si otra fan del Gran David Bowie
This is the song that made me listen to all his music. So even though it is not his best song, it is the song that forced me to take notice and love his whole catalogue.
Awwww.
When I believed in nothing I called her name
Trapped in a high-dollar joint in some place I called her name
And though my days are slipping by
And nights so cruel I thought I'd die
She danced her little dance 'till it made me cry
She was shakin' like this honey doing that
When I needed soul revival I called your name
When I was falling to pieces I screamed in pain
Your soothing hand that turned me round
A love so real swept over me
You danced your little dance 'till it made me cry
You were shakin' like this honey doing that
Never let me down
She never let me down
Never let me down
She never let me down
When all your faith is failing
Call my name
When you've nothing coming
Call my name
I'll be strong for all it takes
I'll cover your head till the bad stuff breaks
I'll dance my little dance till it makes you smile
Shaking like this honey doing that
Never let you down
I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down

この曲、ホントに好きだ。ボウイ...
David wasn't too crazy about this album and couldn't remember recording Station to Station- both are great!
StS is his best =)
@@MrGeirPaulsen sure. 100% agree masterpiece
Blame the cocaine for StS.
Uaooooo never knew this song❤
So Beautiful David Bowie❤
Legendary Legend. Rip.
I Love U man. God Bless⭐🌠👍
So true about Bowie, you think you're ok then hearing one of his songs brings an overwhelming feeling of how great he was, how much he is missed, but so grateful he won't be forgotten. Love this one....
Lovely 💋 this very Lennon-esque little peach of a song (i read somewhere years ago that this is Davids 'Woman')has me dancing around the kitchen with my 3month old son, whose middle name is Bowie ✌ Brilliant upload, plz keep 'em coming...★
Another great song! David's talent was limitless...The fact that he wrote this for his long time personal assistant Coco speaks in volumes about he cared about her. She took care of him from 1972 onwards..
I miss him
One of best songs on really good album.
The end is amazing. I love it.
so beautiful song
The Great David Bowie ❤
Eine seiner besten Platten 😢😢 Ich Liebe diese Musik. Er war einer der größten......
This was the first David Bowie album I bought.
David is the great of greats.🙌
I was listening to this song when it was uploaded, such a coincidence! Beautiful song, as only David could do. Underrated too :/
Ever since he left us, rewatching this video makes me cry
it's hard to pic a favorite Bowie song but this is in my top 5
i love this song and the video just makes it better
Definitely my favorite Bowie song of the 80’s 🙌🙌🙌
The album that David Bowie said it's his worst record, is still better than most stuff I hear today!
Genius musician!
this song heals broken hearts
I consider this one right there at the top. He had a certain group of songs like this - "Strangers When We meet", "Loving the Alien", "Girls", "Absolute Beginners", maybe two or 3 off of Black Tie, White Noise (Miracle Goodnight, Don't Let me Down and Down) and even the very last song closing his musical journey, "I Can't Give everything Away". To me they share something wondrously in common. They are endlessly .. wilfully enchanting; each with these more sophisticated, syrupy chords. Of course I love Life on Mars, Changes, Young Americans, Sound + Vision and so many but Never Let me Down seemed the centerpiece of a particular niche group of Bowie songs drenched in a deeply infinite romance that tied a portion of his catalog together.
Perhaps I like being the contrarian to what so many say about his 80's output but I am not afraid to say it, for me it is unquestionably at the top of my list.
Kind of addicted to this song
Same ❤️
Glad this album is going to get some attention soon. It's very underrated and has some beautiful songs. Think about you everyday, can't believe it's been two years.
4:32 awwww ~
He was practicing for the future Lexi.
The song is beautful
Joe Dalessandro, bass, harmonica, percussion, clip, his voice , layers...all is perfect !
Love this Bowie song! Love his singing on it.
Ive always like this song the 70s we had the best music period.
Kochany David. Będziesz zawsze w mojej pamięci ❤
This is one his best 80s era songs, it has a weird quality to that is squarely in his wheelhouse. Accessible but still has an atmospheric feel to it during the chorus.
ICONIC
Lanatictodeath i live gor ur pfp and name
Love this part……Your soothing hand that turned me round
A love so real swept over me
You danced your little dance 'till it made me cry
You were shaking like this honey doing that
Never let me down
She never let me down❤️❤️❤️
Of course he knows how to play the harmonica.... why did I even remotely question it?
Christine Shane A very pleasant surprise:-)
Because he’s David motherfucking Bowie
He was like Mozart literally could play any instrument by ear.
Also plays it in She'll drive the big car, another masterpiece
@@MrKurtBarlow he can't play recorder, there's a video of it on CZcams 😂
I'm not trying to offense you or anything, I love Bowie so much I went to Bali where his ashes was scattered
Beautiful songs are always good, no matter the drum machines... Stop the madness with this 1987 LP... It has a great sound, good solid bottom; one of Bowie's most lovely of songs...
