One of the best songs by one of the best artists ever  - sublime in the true Romantic sense of the word.

Bill has got to spot playing my playlist.  Bowie, Radiohead and Costello all in the last 20 minutes.  How the heck am I supposed to work.

Drunk comes out of the bar, looks around, lights a cigarette, walks directly into a lamppost, and is knocked on his butt.  Gets up, dusts himself off, turns around unsteadily a few times, walks directly into the same lamppost, which knocks him on his butt again.  Gets up, scratches his head, wobbles around, and crashes yet again into the very same lamppost.
 
Despairingly he shouts, "Lost!  In an impenetrable forest!"

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.

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

+1.  Lodger is another good one from the same era.

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.

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!

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.{#Ass}

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"{#Ass}
