David Bowie - Time Will Crawl Single Version

Review by Ghazie Arsalan Syihaabullah

Time Will Crawl Single Version by David Bowie: A Retro Gem That Still Kicks Alright, so here’s the deal—David Bowie’s Time Will Crawl (Single Version) isn’t your typical flashy Bowie record. Released in ‘87 under EMI America for Spain and Australia, this little slice of pop-rock goodness kinda sneaks up on you. Produced by Bowie himself alongside D. Richards, it feels like one of those albums that doesn’t try too hard but still nails it. You know what I mean? Like when something just clicks without all the bells and whistles. Now, let me break it down for ya. The standout track here is obviously “Time Will Crawl (Single Version).” It's got that groovy bassline that worms its way into your brain and won’t leave. Plus, there’s a Spanish version titled “El Tiempo Se Arrastrará,” which is wild because hearing Bowie sing in another language always feels like finding an Easter egg. Not gonna lie, though—it took me a couple listens to get used to it, but once it clicked, man, it stuck. There’s something about how smooth yet kinda eerie the vibe is. It’s not super upbeat, but it’s got this weird energy that makes you wanna bob your head while staring out the window thinking deep thoughts. Classic Bowie move right there. Another banger on this release is “Girls (Single Edit).” This one’s catchy as hell. The lyrics are simple enough, but they hit different. It’s one of those tracks where you’re like, "Wait, did he really just say that?" And then you rewind it because you can’t believe how effortlessly cool it sounds. The rhythm has this funky edge that pairs perfectly with Bowie’s voice—you know, that voice that could make reading a grocery list sound poetic. Honestly, it’s the kind of song you’d blast during a road trip or throw on at a party when you want everyone to stop talking and start dancing. What I love most about this album is how unpretentious it feels. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel; instead, it’s giving us solid tunes that remind you why Bowie was such a legend. He didn’t need to overdo anything—he just delivered these tight, memorable tracks that stick around long after the music stops. Oh, and here’s the kicker—I found myself humming “Time Will Crawl” days later while folding laundry. How many albums from 1987 do that to you? Not many, my friend. So yeah, if you’re into retro vibes with a dash of Bowie magic, this one’s worth checking out. Just don’t expect fireworks—this is more like a slow-burning candle that smells nice and makes you think. Random thought: If aliens ever land and ask us to explain human music, I’d totally hand them this album. They’d either dig it or beam me aboard their ship. Either way, win-win.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: David Bowie’s *Time Will Crawl Single Version* has a Spanish twist. One of the tracks, "Time Will Crawl," was translated into Spanish as *"El Tiempo Se Arrastrará."* It’s not every day you see Bowie embrace bilingual vibes like this. The 1987 release also included a fun little track called *"Girls (Single Edit)"* or in Spanish, *"Chicas."* Bowie co-produced it with D. Richards, showing his knack for blending creativity and global appeal. Definitely a small but neat detail for fans of his work!

Love Bowie but sorry not a fan of this song or the album. That being said the tour where he was promoting this album was excellent However, everyone just wanted him to quit singing songs from Never Let Me Down, and get on to the good stuff.

This album was never very well received. But I’ve always loved this and ‘never let me down’. Happy birthday Mr Bowie. 76 today.

I heard this for the first time recently on a radio show called 'Forgotten 80s' and really liked it. I don't know why it's obscure/forgotten when it's so catchy with a great dance beat. The only 80s Bowie songs played on standard radio are 'Let's Dance' (which seems to be on a loop) or occasionally 'Ashes to Ashes'. I like uncovering 80s gems, but it's surprising that even someone as iconic as Bowie has songs that you rarely hear anymore.

This video reminds me of true faith by new order, very similar chorography. Both excellent.
Time will crawl, and our heads bowed down,
Время будет ползти, а наши головы склонены,
Time will crawl, and our eyes fall out,
Время будет ползти, а наши глаза выпали,
Time will crawl, and the streets run red
Время будет ползти, а улицы обагрились кровью
Till the 21st century lose.
Пока в двадцать первом веке нам всем не придёт конец

Toni Basil's choreography.
Saw this video when it first premiered on MTV and/or Friday Night Videos. Yes, I'm dating myself. At 53 with former performance / dance experience, this video still does it for me.
Everything from David's itchy nose to the dance/fight/confrontation pieces. Beautiful piece of work.
