  • "Ashes to Ashes" is a song by English singer-songwriter David Bowie, originally released on 1 August 1980 as the lead single from his 1980 album Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps). Co-produced by Bowie and Tony Visconti, it was recorded from February to April 1980 in New York and London and features guitar synthesiser played by Chuck Hammer. An art rock, art pop and new wave song led by a flanged piano riff, the lyrics act as a sequel to Bowie's 1969 hit "Space Oddity", depicting the astronaut Major Tom as a "junkie" alone floating in space. Bowie partially based the lyrics on his own experiences with drug addiction throughout the 1970s. The song's music video, co-directed by Bowie and David Mallet, was at the time the most expensive music video ever made. The solarised video features Bowie as a clown, an astronaut and an asylum inmate, each representing variations on the song's themes, and four members of London's Blitz club, including Steve Strange. Influential on the then-rising New Romantic movement, commentators consider it one of Bowie's best videos and of all time. Upon release, "Ashes to Ashes" became Bowie's second No. 1 UK single and his fastest-selling single up to that point. Bowie performed the song only once during 1980 but frequently during his later concert tours. Initially viewed with mixed critical reactions, later reviewers and biographers consider it one of Bowie's finest songs, particularly praising its unique musical structure. In subsequent decades, the song has appeared on compilation albums and other artists have covered, sampled or used its musical elements for their own songs. The song's namesake was also used for the 2008 BBC series of the same name. (en)

  • «Ashes to Ashes» (с англ. — «Прах к праху») — сингл Дэвида Боуи, выпущенный в 1980 году в поддержку альбома Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps). Песня заняла 1-е место в национальном хит-параде Великобритании, став одним из нескольких синглов этой пластинки, добившихся подобного результата. Среди особенностей трека следует отметить креативное видео, срежиссированное самим автором совместно с Дэвидом Маллетом.

В 1981 году Боуи заявил, что написав «Ashes to Ashes», он «подвёл итоги 1970-х непосредственно для самого себя, и эта песня оказалась хорошей эпитафией для этой цели». (ru)
