#songoftheday: David Bowie – Life on Mars? (Live at Fashion Rocks)

Back in 2005, David Bowie and Arcade Fire joined forces on stage for a benefit concert. The studio version from Hunky Dory is a classic, but the extended piano intro from the Fashion Rocks show really does it for me.

If this song doesn’t make you a Bowie fan, I don’t know what will.

If there’s anything to be learned from this song, it’s that pretty much every new album from Will Smith is a comeback album.

This particular comeback was in the summer of 1991, following the first season of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and only 2 years after their previous album. If anybody seriously wrote off Will Smith in that amount of time, I can’t even imagine how shocked they’d be to see how the next 20 years would play out.
