1013 David Bowie - All The Madmen
1013 David Bowie - All The Madmen
Been meaning to pick this track for quite some time now; an excellent pick for a very busy Saturday. The album which this song comes from, The Man Who Sold the World, has steadily become one of my favourite Bowie albums.
This one is a beautifully written and arranged song; I love the way it builds from an acoustic track into a full-blown rocker. I really like the swells and retreats; it helps to build the song's atmosphere. Supposedly the song was written for David Bowie's brother who was institutionalized with schizophrenia.
Here is the studio version on YouTube.
Here is a live performance circa '87 on YouTube.
My song pick a year ago today: Rush - Finding My Way
My song pick two years ago today: Creedence Clearwater Revival - Long As I Can See The Light
