Ziggy is in a position where all the kids have access to things that they thought they wanted. Following ‘Five Years’ is always a difficult feat and ‘Soul Love’ suffers because of it, providing a decidedly more upbeat tone to the preceding track.

Bowie discussed the album with William S. Burroughs back in 1973 and explained the track: “Ziggy is advised in a dream by the infinites to write the coming of a starman, so he writes “Starman”, which is the first news of hope that the people have heard. ‘Soul Love’.
Ziggy was in a rock’n’roll band and the kids no longer want rock’n’roll. Ranking the songs on David Bowie’s masterpiece ‘Ziggy Stardust’ The song had been kicking around from Bowie’s previous incarnation with his side project Arnold Corns but had been tightened up a la Lou Reed, and given a more menacing undertone, it links perfectly with Bowie’s vision for the album and provides a glorious moment.

The older people have lost all touch with reality and the kids are left on their own to plunder anything. Lady Stardust (1972) Ziggy Stardust’s most emotionally affecting moment is one of its most straightforward songs. In the end, the song becomes a cautionary tale as Ziggy arrives on earth in the middle of the final five years of the planet’s existence. They don’t have a care in the world and are of no possible use to us. Bowie’s vocals are near perfection and Mick Ronson has his hand on one of the greatest riffs in rock.There are some songs that need explaining, some songs which need a little extra investigation but David Bowie’s ‘Rock n Roll Suicide’ needs just one thing: to be heard.
