Which one is your favorite? - VI -

I would like to thank the blog followers for their interactivity because this series have been one of the most popular posts ever. I even started to get song requests. So thank you all for that. Please keep your requests and comments coming...

Our song for this week is;

"The Man Who Sold the World"

"The Man Who Sold the World" is a song written and performed by David Bowie. It is the title track of his third album, which was released in the US in November 1970 and in the UK in April 1971. This song 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.

The song was reworked by Bowie, featuring atmospheric synths, a new bassline, techno-style drums and a notably darker mood, for performances in concerts from 1995 to 1997, including the 1995 MTV Europe Music Awards. Bowie later returned to playing the original version in the 2000s.

And here are the 3 versions I chose for you;

• Lulu - "The Man Who Sold the World"

• Nirvana - "The Man Who Sold the World"

• Midge Ure - "The Man Who Sold the World"

Now the floor is yours, go ahead and make your comments (here, Instagram, Facebook wherever you feel like...).

nb. Please note that I intentionally do not include the original versions of the songs as it would be a little unfair to the artists covering the songs, and I am sure that sometimes you will be surprised to see that the songs you thought were the originals are just covers...
