Top singles from the past
21 November 2025
The late musical virtuoso DAVID BOWIE released his hit single
GOLDEN YEARS today 50 years ago, on 21 November 1975.
It was the lead single of his 10th LP Station To Station.
It reached #8 in the UK and #10 in the US
The song utilises elements of several 1950s doo-wop tracks in its arrangement. Lyrically, the narrator offers a companion hope of entering a limousine and being isolated from the outside world. In other words, he assures his companion that she will always be protected by him and promises her a brighter future.
“I’ll stick with you, baby, for a thousand years
Nothing’s gonna touch you in these golden years
Golden years Golden years, gold, wah-wah-wah
Come, b-b-b-baby”
