a. Starting off with a song that is the title of the album is bold. Making that song ten minutes long is even bolder. I’ll confess, I am not a huge Bowie fan. But this album has Golden Years which is one of my favorites of his since it is on the Knight’s Tale soundtrack. It’s one of the highlights of that movie where the entire cast dances to the song before the tournament, breaking the fourth wall. I’m sure David was proud of that when he was watching the film. Of course, I am writing this while the first song is still playing. Halfway done but that’s halfway closer to those Golden Years. I think one of the reasons that Bowie never really resonated with me is because it’s difficult to hear him on most songs. The music itself is louder than his voice and that is shown on this track. Golden Years! What a treat. I still don’t understand many of the lyrics (hard to hear him) in the song but I still sing along (sometimes even dance along wearing a full suit of armor). I’m enjoying Word on a Wing. There is a magic with David Bowie where you can have his music playing, not really hear what he is saying, but how he is saying it along with the actual music makes for great background music. It’s also wild that there are only six tracks on this album, not even 40 minutes long when compared to current day musicians trying to have multiple hours on their album. I wish I could hear him as he talks about TVC15, is that a new type of VCR or radio from back then? He was very ahead of his time so I wouldn’t put it past him to make predictions in his songs. Stay is interesting because when the song started, that is exactly what I wanted to do but as it went on I kind of wanted to Go. Wild is the Wind sounds a little bit like the rest of the songs but I hate wind in most of its forms so I totally agree that it is wild and hard to control. Is he ruminating on that presumption or telling it to someone? Either way, this was an enjoyable album that, even remastered, feels like the 70’s.
