"Absolute Beginners (song)" redirects here. For the Jam song, see Absolute Beginners (The Jam song).

"Absolute Beginners" is a song written and performed by English singer-songwriter David Bowie. Released on 3 March 1986, it was the theme song to the 1986 film of the same name (itself an adaptation of the book Absolute Beginners). Although the film was not a commercial success, the song was a big hit, reaching No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart. It also reached the top 10 on the main singles charts in ten other countries. In the US, it peaked at No. 53 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Bowie performed "Absolute Beginners" live on his 1987 Glass Spider Tour, his 2000 "Mini" Tour, and his 2002 Heathen Tour. The song has been included on a number of Bowie's compilation and "Best-of" releases, and was included as a bonus track on the 1995 re-release of Tonight (1984).

Background and recording Edit

Bowie was good friends with the film's director, Julien Temple (who had worked with him in 1984 on the Jazzin' for Blue Jean short film). Bowie agreed to Temple's request to write music for the film if he could also play the part of Vendice Partners.

It was recorded at Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley's Westside Studios, London. The sessions were completed rapidly, but the song was delayed due to the problems with completing the film. Virgin wanted the release to tie in with the film's opening. The song featured Rick Wakeman on piano, who had previously performed on Bowie's "Space Oddity" single and Hunky Dory studio album. Shortly after the sessions wrapped, Mick Jagger flew in to record the charity cover of "Dancing in the Street" with Bowie, which used many of the same musicians. Bowie recorded the lead vocal of "Absolute Beginners" at Westside Studios in August.[2]

Critical reception Edit

AllMusic described "Absolute Beginners" as "the gem of his post-Let's Dance '80s output, a big, breathtaking ballad allowing him to indulge the [Frank] Sinatra croon that's driven many of his best performances".[3] It was chosen by Jeremy Allen in The Guardian as one of Bowie's "ten of the best" songs.[4] Biographer Paul Trynka described "Absolute Beginners" as "Bowie's last great composition of the 1980s",[5] while rock critic Chris O'Leary described it as "gorgeous and valedictory," with "one of the great Bowie melodies" in its refrain.[6] Mojo chose the song as number 61 in its countdown of Bowie's 100 greatest songs.[7] Don Weller's saxophone solo has been described by musicOMH as "perhaps the best" saxophone solo in a Bowie song. They characterised it as "the sound of one man trying to violently expel his innards through the bell of his instrument" and "one of the most heartbreaking things put to record".[8]

"Absolute Beginners" was the second song played on Absolute Radio after officially rebranding from Virgin Radio on 29 September 2008, after the Beatles' "A Day in the Life", and on 19 January 2023, it became the last song to be played on the station's AM frequencies, as part of a tribute to the 1215khz frequency, with Christian O'Connell's DJ intro to the song from 2008 also included.

Music video Edit

Julien Temple shot the music video, which echoed the 1950s style of the movie. The video was a homage to an old British advert for Strand cigarettes. The ill-fated advertising tagline "You're never alone with a Strand" is quoted by Partners in the film. The video also uses footage from the film.

In 2016, Entertainment Weekly chose it as one of Bowie's 20 best music videos. They stated the video "does a far better job of expressing the noirish romanticism" of MacInnes' novel than the film did and also praised the "great dance-fighting scene at the end".[9]

Live versions Edit

Bowie performed the song live during his 1987 Glass Spider Tour (released on Glass Spider (1988/2007)), a 25 June 2000 performance of the song at the Glastonbury Festival was released in 2018 on Glastonbury 2000, and another live version recorded at BBC Radio Theatre, London, two days later was released on the bonus disc accompanying the first release of Bowie at the Beeb in 2000. The song was performed live on several occasions on the 2002 Heathen Tour as a duet with bassist Gail Ann Dorsey; usually the song would end with Bowie and Dorsey dancing. Mark Plati would play bass while she sang.

Other releases Edit

In 1995, the full-length version appeared as a bonus track on the Virgin Records rerelease of Bowie's 16th studio album Tonight (1984). The 5:36 single version has appeared on the following compilations: Bowie: The Singles 1969–1993 (1993), The Singles Collection (1993), ChangesTwoBowie (1998 reissue), Best of Bowie (2002) (most editions), The Platinum Collection (2005), The Best of David Bowie 1980/1987 (2007), and Nothing Has Changed (2014) (3-CD and vinyl editions). A 4:46 edit, released to promote the single in 1986, was included on the 1-CD and 2-CD editions of Nothing Has Changed and the 2-CD version of Bowie Legacy (2016).
