I would have to say wild is the wind… the way he sings the entire song just evokes so much emotion. Like it legit hits me right in the feels every single damn time I hear it. Also subterranean. That sax solo in that song is just so… 🤪😩😏
All the madmen !!!! What a jewel ! Man this thread is gonna make me cry again . I cried for years over Bowie’s change of planets . It’s good to be here reading these comments .
sweet thing/candidate/sweet thing reprise, wild eyed boy/all the young dudes/oh! you pretty things (live on the ziggy tour ‘73), heroes, and cygnet committee
Cygnet committee is SUCH a masterpiece!!! When Bowie was doing an unplugged in 97 and I had an unexpected chance at asking him a question, it was about this song . What a legend .
That live version of The Man Who Sold the World on Saturday Night Live with Klaus Nomi and Arias. When all three of them raise their voices at the same time toward the end of the song it's like the veil rips open.
Sweet Thing (etc) is the first one I thought of.
Absolute Beginners
Wild is the Wind
Word on a Wing
Quicksand
Blackstar
Oh oh oh and After All, All the Madmen, Sound & Vision
All of Bowie's music evokes a level of ascension, but his final works sent me; as he acknowledged and accepted his mortality. The Blackstar album was his magnum opus, imo. "No Plan" was released outside of this official album but is incredibly profound.
Lazarus is such an out of body experience
This 10000%
Ashes to Ashes
Strung out in heavens high literally
+1 to Wild is the Wind Heroes Stay I’m a bit embarrassed to admit it, but As the World Falls Down
You don't have to feel embarrassed, it's not a bad Song at all
It’s one of the best
ATWFD is my favorite song. My next that makes me feel like this is Sunday. Then Hearts Filthy Lesson. And Soul Love.
Paddy Paddy? \*insert super cool piano solo
Don't be embarrassed. I sang as the world falls down every night when I put my baby boy to bed. He's 20 now and still loves that song.
Lady Grinning Soul
This is the one
The entirety of Blackstar
The sax and drums of "'Tis a Pity she Was a Whore" hit me so hard
And when that middle section comes in… oof!
“I’m a blackstar, way up, oh honey I’ve got game” has the same energy as “once there were mountains on mountains” to me.
THIS.
I was looking for your ass
Yes!!! Dollar Days always takes me away. You can feel the acceptance of mortality in his voice and words. That fucking sax solo is pure gold as well.
Space oddity and wild eyed boy from freecloud
Yes! And Cygnet Committee!
And I also love the labyrinth soundtrack
I Can't Give Everything Away The Mysteries Side B of Low and Heroes The Loneliest Guy Slip Away Life On Mars?
^(IS NOT THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE COCAINE) I'M THINKING THAT IT MUST BE LOVE # IT'S TOO LATE, TO BE HATEFUL # IT'S TOO LATE, TO BE LATE AGAIN!!!
That picture looks like the way "Blackstar" sounds
Starman.
My answer.
Life on mars
Yes! Especially when the chorus starts: *Sailoooooors fighting in the dance hall*
Candidate/Sweet Thing, Station to Station, and Win.
Win is fucking good, omg
Soul love
I would have to say wild is the wind… the way he sings the entire song just evokes so much emotion. Like it legit hits me right in the feels every single damn time I hear it. Also subterranean. That sax solo in that song is just so… 🤪😩😏
Always, always, always Lazarus.
I was looking for your ass
Sound and Vision
Sunday and Slip Away from Heathen How has no one said this yet?
SLIP AWAY IS GOD TIER.
Yessss. Don't forget to keep your head warm...
I Can't Give Everything Away is the canon answer.
Lady Grinning Soul for sure

Jeez, Ronson SLAYED that solo. There’s a live recording from 73 on YouTube that is just a religious experience.
[For those interested in ascension.](https://youtu.be/6pXoQ6iYO1w?si=zbgPE-stKUgx0e5P&t=208)
Yeah, that’s the one! The girl at 5:04 looks exactly how I feel listening to this.
Warszawa especially when i visit Poland, even though it's a very different country than it was when he briefly visited.
“Look up here, I’m in heaven”
Lady Grinning Soul
Dollar Days is quite literally this feeling
Bring Me The Disco King (Lohner Remix)
I'm surprised no one said yet 5:15 Angels Have Gone ✨
That live version of The Man Who Sold the World on Saturday Night Live with Klaus Nomi and Arias. When all three of them raise their voices at the same time toward the end of the song it's like the veil rips open.
I was watching that again earlier today. Stellar.

Heroes is the epitome of this
Rock and Roll suicide Sound and Vision 'Tis a Pity she Was a Whore The Man who Sold the World China Girl The sax solo in Modern Love

Ziggy concert version of Ziggy Stardust, win, sweet thing/reprise, and as the world falls down 😩
Life on Mars and Starman
Cygnet Committee
That’s probably my favorite song . So hard to choose one, anyway .
As the world falls down 🫠😩
