i bought heathen for my brother, taped it, but only ever this played this track. Loved it in the car on a spring morning. happy tune with sinister lyrics!
David and David. Bowie and Torn on lead guitar; a fantastic mesh of passion and precision. Bowie's vocal soars alongside Torn's increasing intensity. Magnificent song and playing.
@sidDkid87 Bowie, like most sensible human beings is an Atheist... I think this song is more 3rd person, IE the Earth speaking to its 7 billion human inhabitants.
@jieuxarmeni Agree, excellent point / slant on the tune - I was thinking more along the line on how one might evolve into atheism . . . anyway, I appreciate your take on this great tune - you gave me a new way to think of it and an 'excuse' to listen to it again
Fuck I love this song,one of my favourite Bowie songs/addictions! Been waiting ages for someone to post this track. Stunning production values and arrangement on this that simply cannot be appreciated on youtube sound quality - listen to it on a damn fine stereo and/or headphones andyou will truly be stunned. thanks so much ! * :-)
Heathen, overlooked MASTERPIECE. Some of Bowie's finest work hands down.

i get the feeling that this song is directed at "god" ... great song, i was hooked the first time i heard it

It is directed to god, it's a prayer, but the speaker is sick of promises and demands god to actually do something. very touching imo
