David Bowie - Win download song

God, it just rolls over you in great caramel waves of emotion. What a song!

Hard to explain to others why your favorite Bowie is Young Americans, but it is. Supremo!

Genuinely a career highlight song, which bizarrely was not only not used as a single, but has never been on compilations, as with the equally head-swimming Lady Grinning Soul.

This album is incredible. When it came out I was like 11 but my Uncle always played it in his car, on 8-track..LOL...He had a very nice Lincoln and me and my mom were poor, but he worked for American Airlines and he knew I liked to watch planes and we would drive to the airport where he worked to watch planes and I would ask him to play this album while we drove to airport :) The we would go t Shakey's for pizza! But the album and the planes were the highlight of the day :)

It's so strange that he's not around anymore. And very sad.

one of the greatest tracks ever

Lush. Soulful. Naked and wired...

Rest in peace my man, you had more soul than your average church spiritual.

He'll always be fresh on my pages. This is one of my favorite songs. So sad you're gone but you gave us one heck of a ride.

this might be my fav bowie song. ill miss him forever.

Bowie said he was very messed up with a coke addiction during the Young Americans period, & his mental health was poor. He described himself as being "schizoid" at the time, but somehow he was still able to write songs easily, describing the process as "picking songs out of the air".

I lOVE this song-something about his voice is so sexy. Even with the sort of cheesy backup singers. It is as good as this type song gets.

Bowie certainly did win. That`s for sure.

One of his best heart-felt songs ever recorded that went absolutely nowhere...go figure...

Once upon a time, I fell in love with someone and this is the soundtrack of our love affair. We shared moments of luxury amongst the squalor of our lives and ended up as victims of our own desire. Thank you for this song, David. I really loved him.

I swear if this doesn't touch your soul than you need to play it a second time.

One of my favourite scenes in "The Man Who Fell To Earth" was near the end when Rip Torn is in the record store and a "Young Americans" display is visable for a second or two! I thought that was a nice touch.

Me...I hope that I'm crazy I feel you driving and you're only the wheel Slow down...let someone love you I've never touched you since I started to feel If there's nothing to hide me, then you've never seen me hanging naked and wired Somebody lied, but I say it's hip to be alive Now that your smile is spreading thin It seems you're trying not to lose Since I'm not supposed to grin All you've got to do is win Me...I'm fresh on your pages A secret thinker sometimes listening aloud Life lies dumb on its heroes Wear you wound with honor...make someone proud Someone like you should not be allowed to start any fires...
