so, tell me, please, why did you choose ...hey you!<br /><br />so, tell me, please, why did you choose this song? do you want to know - in his own words - how Bowie came up with it?<br /><br /><i>"This song was so easy. Being young was easy. A really beautiful day in the park, sitting on the steps of the bandstand. 'Sailors bap-bap-bap-bap-baaa-bap.' An anomic (not a 'gnomic') heroine. Middle-class ecstasy. </i><br /><br /><i>"I took a walk to Beckenham High Street to catch a bus to Lewisham to buy shoes and shirts but couldn't get the riff out of my head. Jumped off two stops into the ride and more or less loped back to the house up on Southend Road. </i><br /><br /><i>"Workspace was a big empty room with a chaise longue; a bargain-price art nouveau screen ('William Morris,' so I told anyone who asked); a huge overflowing freestanding ashtray and a grand piano. Little else. </i><br /><br /><i>"I started working it out on the piano and had the whole lyric and melody finished by late afternoon. Nice. Rick Wakeman came over a couple of weeks later and embellished the piano part and guitarist Mick Ronson created one of his first and best string parts for this song which now has become something of a fixture in my live shows."</i><br /><br />see, <b>dear FAF</b>, I am a font of all knowledge<br /><br />well, not all, but some at least!<br /><br />(-:english inukshukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11837926498247135299noreply@blogger.com
