      @policemanandrew I've listen to cuddle up by the beach boys. I love Don't worry Babe, but Cuddle Up is great. But this song is very different. To me. I love all music but Bowie hits a mark here that most musicians and writers never have. I love so many songs. But this is my weak point. Hope your safe. Thank you🌹

    The first time I ever heard this song, I was, at the time, next door to one Dan Hartman, with an old girlfriend of mine (Westport, Ct., mid-to-late 70s'). About seven years later, he had a huge hit with a song called-'I Can Dream About You." About eight or nine years after that, my older brother was introduced to Bowie at a recording studio in NYC ('Black Tie, White Noise' session), whereupon David showed him his then new tattoo: A cattle's skull with Reinhold Neibuhr's 'serenity prayer' written around it in Japanese (right above left ankle).

    • @songsulove5260
      @songsulove5260  7 років тому +1

      Doubting Thomas wow that's cool, why was your brother introduced to Bowie? Was he is the music industry?

    • @romanticandperky
      @romanticandperky 7 років тому +2

      Yes, my brother has spent his life in the music industry, and he has met some amazing people along the way. He knew Niles Rodger, who produced both the "Let's Dance" and the 'Black Tie, White Noise' albums, and it was he who invited him up to the studio to meet Bowie; whereupon David showed him his then new tattoo. Are you familiar with Reinhold Neibuhr's 'serenity prayer'?

    • @romanticandperky
      @romanticandperky 7 років тому +1

      "G-d, grant my the serenity to accept that which I cannot change; the courage to change that which I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." Another curious thing is that this tattoo was not giving him a feeling of serenity; at least, not initially. He revealed to my brother that it was actually causing him a lot of pain. Of course, the fact that Mick Ronson was dying while this was going on didn't help matters, no doubt.

    • @songsulove5260
      @songsulove5260  7 років тому

      Doubting Thomas And do you know why it caused him pain insted of serenity?

    • @romanticandperky
      @romanticandperky 7 років тому +2

      Apparently, David blamed the artist, a Japanese gentleman for how his tattoo was applied. Iman also got an ankle tattoo around the same time, from the same artist; but not a matching tattoo, a different tattoo: A Bowie knife. I don't think anyone knows how she felt, getting her tattoo.

    In this age of grand delusion
    You walked into my life out of my dreams
    I don't need another change
    Still you forced a way into my scheme of things
    You say we're growing
    Growing heart and soul
    In this age of grand delusion
    You walked into my life out of my dreams
    Sweet name, you're born once again for me
    Sweet name, you're born once again for me
    Oh sweet name, I call you again
    You're born once again for me
    Just because I believe don't mean I don't think as well
    Don't have to question everything in Heaven or Hell
    Lord, I kneel and offer you my word on a wing
    And I'm trying hard to fit among your scheme of things
    It's safer than a strange land, but I still care for myself
    And I don't stand in my own light
    Lord, Lord, my prayer flies like a word on a wing
    My prayer flies like a word on a wing
    Does my prayer fit in with your scheme of things?
    In this age of grand delusion
    You walked into my life out of my dreams
    Sweet name, you're born once again for me
    Just as long as I can see
    I'll never stop this vision flowing
    I look twice and you're still glowing
    Just as long as I can walk
    I'll walk beside you, I'm alive in you
    Sweet name, you're born once again for me
    And I'm ready to shape the scheme of things
    Ooh, ready to shape the scheme of things
    Ooh, ready to shape the scheme of things
    Ooh, ready to shape the scheme of things
    Ooh, ready to shape the scheme of things
    Ooh...
    Lord, I kneel and offer you my word on a wing
    And I'm trying hard to fit among your scheme of things
    It's safer than a strange land, but I still care for myself
    And I don't stand in my own light
    Oh Lord, Lord, my prayer flies like a word on a wing
    And I'm trying hard to fit among your scheme of things
    But it's safer than a strange land, but I still care for myself
    And I don't stand in my own light
    Lord, Lord, my prayer flies like a word on a wing
    My prayer flies like a word on a wing
    Does my prayer fit in with your scheme of things?

      @@patriciagilligan2628 yes I think I got your point I think you are saying that this world is a grand delusion and there are many false Gods who belong to this false and delusional matrix
      But there is A real and true God who is the father of all real sprits who do not belong to this world
      And there is a earthly false version of christ who is not the real christ but the antichrist
      As a christian I have to say that I do agree with you in our scripture it has been said that this world is evil and it has been said that the whole world is lying in the evil one
      John the apostle has said that this is devil who is in this world
      And christ has called devil the master of this world
      And apostle paul goes as far as he says that devil is the GOD of this realm
      Also he refers to the evil beings as the masters and elements of the world who don't have any knowledge about the secret wisdom of the true God and because of their Ignorance they crucified Lord of the glory(referring to christ)
      In his opinion demons are universal lords of this darkness
      But as you mentioned too john the baptist said that the one who is of the earth is earthly and he or she speaks of the earthly things but the one who has come from above is above all
      And christ told pharisies that he is from above but they are from below
      He is not of this world but they are of this world
      But as you said and I do agree with you
      The real and true God who is the father of our spirits has delivered us from the evil present eon(in greek it means realm)
      And has realesed us from the power of darkness and from the grand delusion
      So the real and true spirits do not belong to this world but they have been elected by the real christ( who is not according to the flesh as the apostle said) from the world
      The Apostle has said that I have been crucified for the world and the world has been crucified for me
      But this creation of vanity and corruption wont last but it will be released from the bondage of decay and it will be involved in the freedom of the glory of the children of God those who have not received the spirit of the world but spirit of the truth
      And about david bowie I have to say that although music industry is one of the main elements which keep people in the darkness of Illusion,I found something very spiritual in his lyrics and music
      Which made me to like him
      I saw an intention in his lyrics to release himself from this age of grand Illusion as he said here,
      Space oddity is an another obvious example and also I offer you to read the lyrics of the song "lazarus" from his last album and the song "love is lost" from his 2013 album "the next day"

      He did what he had to do to survive. His record label was going to cut his contract. So he made Young Americans and sang with Cher (but who hasn’t done Cher). But because he did this we got to hear him for many more years. And you have to admit that even his comercial songs were great for their genre.
