Easily one of my favorite songs, by David Bowie or otherwise, "Ashes to Ashes" from 1980's "Scary Monsters" LP is one of those tunes that can move me every single time i hear it. There's something devastating about it, hopeless, strung-out junkies for whom there is no return, no respite. Despair is real and palpable and spread across the universe, the ultimate fate of Major Tom. If Bowie was ever going to make me weep, it's here.
