"Five Years" by Duran Duran

I posted the audio video of this song (previously here), but now here is the official video for the David Bowie classic "Five Years" by Duran Duran. The band released the cover last month as part of "Just For One Day," pianist Mike Garson’s Bowie tribute that took place on what would have been the late legend’s 74th birthday.

"David Bowie’s apocalyptic vision in the song 'Five Years' was written almost half a century ago yet it seems ever more poignant today," Duran Duran keyboardist Nick Rhodes said. "Although it is five years since David left Planet Earth, his vast catalog of songs remain as significant and inspirational as they always have been. Mike Garson’s heartfelt celebration show was a testament to the breadth of influence that David had on other musicians. It was also a display of the deep affection and gratitude for what he gave to us all."

The import of the narrative of this song always made me cry, but the fact that David is gone, and apparently we do really only have about five good years left, makes me weep...
