About This Track

The album is one of Bowie’s least-known, but over the years many fans have come to appreciate it and a lot of bands have covered songs from it. This is about a man who no longer recognizes himself and feels awful about it. For years, Bowie struggled with his identity and expressed himself through his songs, often creating characters to perform them. On the album cover, Bowie is wearing a dress.

Nirvana recorded this for their 1993 MTV Unplugged performance.

    I hate this about Last.fm. One one of these weird covers plays one - the real version is lost and I only hear this crap. I have tried banning and re-loving to no avail. Any ideas?

    Another inferior cover version of a towering song, please restore David's original, Last.fm. I hate it when this happens.
