Wrote the words to this as a story for my English exams in 1974 and got away with it and got an A how cool was that.

One of his gems, hidden. I love all of his epic story stuff.

@kevinandrewmoore,I agree.David Bowie and Tony Visconti were a brilliant team.

@LIBERTYTREE98 Arrangement by the amazing Tony Visconti. Ive just been reading about how he persuaded Bowie it needed a full symphonic score. They inspired each other to fabulous creative highs.

great song.

Thanks, first heard it and bought it on the 'B' side of Space Oddity when it came out excellent,wonderful lyrics, 'the hangman plays his mandolin etc., tremendous positive change to major chord emphases in second half then the sad cadence. A concept track I doubt anyone had done before since maybe Elgar, who obviously didn't have the few minutes available on a 45rpm single.

What a superb musical arrangement!

Sounds like Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

This brings me back to my high school days. I have loved this man ever since!

why are we drawn to early bowie? fan since 75, saw him at roseland in nyc with only 300 people and he did this song in 1996, and 14 other times. the point is his real fans are out of synch with the common man, misunderstood, seeing, feeling and relating to things that they dont sense or understand. this song captures that, what we feel, the forces we are connected with, how we are protected on our paths. peter gabriel salsbury hill is the same vein, if you really get this, you will like that



yeah, thank you, it's my favourite Bowie song
