Every chance, every chance that I take
I take it on the road
Those kilometers and the red lights
I was always looking left and right
Oh, but I'm always crashing in the same car
Jasmine, I saw you peeping
As I pushed my foot down to the floor
I was going round and round the hotel garage
Must have been touching close to 94
Oh, but I'm always crashing in the same car
I take it on the road
Those kilometers and the red lights
I was always looking left and right
Oh, but I'm always crashing in the same car
Jasmine, I saw you peeping
As I pushed my foot down to the floor
I was going round and round the hotel garage
Must have been touching close to 94
Oh, but I'm always crashing in the same car

Some people refuse to ever learn.
Aptly titled album. Solid - no rating.
always think this is Velvet Underground when hearing it in the background
Maybe he should try a different car?
Or take some driving lessons. ; )
Or take some driving lessons. ; )
Just look @ the profile of this beautiful musician.
He gifted us SO much,
This is a great title for a song!!
I can relate!

Great! But i must complete by saying that the session for"Low" was mainly registered at the Château d'Hérouville St Clair, in "my sherish" Normandy.
There is each year a great festival at the same place, the Festival of Beauregard, if you come in Normandie, don't miss it. Every year i think that David was in the same place...
This past April, I took a tour of the studio where Low, Heroes, and Lodger were recorded (or at least engineered) - Hansa By-The-Wall studio in Berlin. Very cool place. Also saw the apartment where Bowie and Iggy lived while in Berlin on Hauptstrasse. Was great to walk around Berlin while listening to Low, Heroes, and Lodger.

An album covered by Philip Glass no less
Excellent!

Mr. Bowie is making records in the great beyond now? Awesome! If that's the case, I'll assume he's with a bunch of other rockers, and then when it's my time I wont be so afraid of it!
David Jones created, then killed off many characters: Ziggy, Thin White Duke, Diamond Dog…and I think he’s killed off Bowie after seeing poor health/heart attack and uncertainty of time creeping up on him. Look at the pics of him a few days before he died of liver cancer. Does he look ill? Or even gaunt?
I figure he’s off somewhere enjoying the rest of his life. Godspeed.

The "gated drum" sound on the snare drum was actually created by a digital phase shifter that producer Tony Visconti brought to the studio during the recording of Low, which was the first time it was used on a commercial album release. I always wondered how they got that sound!
Peter Gabriel (thanks to producer Hugh Padgham) would later feature a drum sound with "true" gated reverb on the song "Intruder", played by Phil Collins who would later use it to great effect in later Genesis/solo albums (including that famous, iconic drum fill in "In The Air Tonight").
This is an interesting read.

Yes, the story goes that it was Hugh Padgham who accidentally "discovered" the sound, but Padgham was the engineer on that album; Steve Lillywhite was the producer.

Low is one of the great rock iconic albums. Besides the fact that it marks Bowie's resurgence into importance (from a period of cocaine-induced irrelevance) - it also is a sonic wonder.
Listen to these gated drums, the whole production of this. The whole album feels fresh, intelligent, and important.
Having said that, there's a better version of this on the Bowie @ the Beeb album. Amazingly intimate and lush. Strong recommendation.

Gotta ask Steely_D: "Gated Drums?" You are referring to the gated reverb, no cierto? I understand the audio output but not the terminology, hence the question.
Final request: keep up the DB commentary. I enjoy it and as you might have guessed, in my ageing wisdom, I have developed a far keener appreciation of Bowie's music.

This album's music barely registered in my neck of the woods back when I left for college in 1980-84. It took a few short years to grow on me. Now the youngsters get it better than we did.

Always loved this one. The repeating synth-cello line is the glue.

Whether or not they're annoying is a matter of opinion, I guess. This album helped get me through high school in the late 1970s.
Does every song on this album have an annoying and repetitive sound effect in the background ruin it completely?

Unbelievable he is dead! I cannot comprehend it!Rest in peace, genius. I know the death of David today at 8am in the morning (Europe/Madrid timezone), so aprox 7 hours ago, and I was sad all morning. With this set of music in RP today maybe my behaviour will be happiest. Only maybe. Depending on the music set chosed by Bill :)
thank you Bill

Despairingly he shouts, "Lost! In an impenetrable forest!"

I was not familiar with this album until I heard this song on RP - liked it enough to get the CD and IMHO it is a brilliant piece of work - takes a few listens, but it fits together beautifully.

Every time Bowie comes on I want to punch my computer. I don't get the allure of this guy. I do like "Heroes" and "China Girl" (only because Stevie Ray plays guitar on it).

Great great non radio song from a fabulous and massively influential album. Unfortunately some he influenced couldn't quite execute as well as Bowie.

A great song that's even better when heard within the context of the album. LOW is a must-have for any serious music fan.

I think of the "always crashing" thing as always having the same kinds of screw-ups and hang-ups.
I know EXACTLY how that feels.

When this song came out, I liked the apparent ambiguity of the line "I'm always crashing in the same car." Was he always having car accidents in the car? Or just going to sleep? I never listened to any of the other lyrics because I never wanted to find out. LOL
Always loved this song, BTW. As I remember, Robert Fripp plays on the album...or not...I do know that Eno's in there!

Essex,
If I insulted you as to your sexual orientation, my apologies. It did not appear that you were offering an olive branch but rather expressing yourself in your crass wonderful way about all things negative towards Bowie and his music.
Have a nice day and welcome back. I'd say I missed you but in all honesty, that would be a lie.

this song sounded good in the set it was played in with all the blandness i was craving a little melodic noise which Eno was so good at bringing out in the albums he produced.
Totally agree with Ricky V and the others. One of my favorite albums and loved the Bowie Berlin era. I believe that most of Bowie's creative dark side comes out when he works with Eno. So much for the subtle 'LOW' profile cover.

Essex, you sad Texan fool, just because Bowie liked to hug guys (and maybe more) doesn't mean that the rest of us Bowie LOVERS do as well.
Quite honestly, your hating Bowie doesn't affect me one way or the other. It just shows me how stupid you are in your utter simplistic hatred of one artist.
Now I hate Neil Young and profess to it honestly, but I have songs of his that I have rated a 10 and a 9 and I have good things to say about him too. You, you simply offer your crass, unadulturated crap for the masses to suck on like sour milk.
And do you really want a hug? Because quite honestly, I don't mess around with strangers, and you are one sick little puppy.
Ha ha...my reference to "hugging you" has no connection to anything Bowie's done in the past present or future...how funny that you would think that...I don't care if a person's gay or not, I'm surprised at your reaction, and as for you "not messing with strangers"...don't flatter yourself...I was offering an olive branch not a night of man love.
Check out other people's comments and you will see I'm not alone in disliking this particular song. However I don't like the man as an artist...and you don't like that so boo hoo to you.
When you're not listening to Bowie (if ever) I suggest you enroll in some anger management classes as you're coming across like
"Yosemite Sam"

A great song that's even better when heard within the context of the album. LOW is a must-have for any serious music fan.
totally dig this song.
Bowie is a unique kind of awesomeness!

my favorite bowie album too!
Every time Bowie comes on I want to punch my computer. I don't get the allure of this guy. I do like "Heroes" and "China Girl" (only because Stevie Ray plays guitar on it).
My favorite Bowie album!
