"The Man Who Fell To Earth" (Watch on YouTube)

If you want to know what life really was, just ask the man who fell to Earth.
Just ask the man in the silver skin.
Maybe his yellow eyes will let you in to the man who fell to Earth.

If you really love the Earth lover then you'll fall in love with the man who fell to Earth.
The man who fell to Earth through space and through time.
Maybe he'll change your life the way he changed mine.
The man who fell to Earth.

The man who fell to Earth through space and through time.
Maybe he'll change your life the way he changed mine.
The man who fell to Earth.
The man...

I couldn’t find the lyrics of this song online so I transcripted them. I’d like to thank @zombiebrainsoup for his help and corrections!!

I watched The man who fell to Earth last week and I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s such a good science-fiction film. Aside from the too many sex scenes, the plot and the character’s development are great. Its lack of special effects (either by choice, low budget or technical limits of 1976) is a strength. Whenever a special effect is used, it hits you, it has a special purpose in the story. Seeing beautiful CGI wasted on a weak story always saddens me (that’s why Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) was so disappointing to me). Bowie was perfect for that role, with his bright dyed hair that crashes with the dull environment, he really feels alien.

TL;DR The man who fell to Earth is an amazing science-fiction film, you should watch it.
