William's Song a Day Blog - est. September 2007

From: The Falcon and the Snowman (soundtrack) ; Year: 1985; Genre: Rock/Pop I have no idea why, but I've been having music from David Bowie running through my mind a lot lately. This one hails from the soundtrack of the 1985 film The Falcon and the Snowman written by Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays performed by their group; and for this track David Bowie came in and helped write the lyrics and sung lead vocals. For Bowie This Is Not America became part of a string of hit songs from films he was a part of during the mid '80s.   Hear This Is Not America on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Corey Hart - Sunglasses At Night   My song pick 2 years ago today: Chicago - Feelin' Stronger Every Day   My song pick 3 years ago today: Lobo - Pee-Ro Juan Valdez Sam Quixote My song pick 4 years ago today: AC/DC - Are You Ready My song pick 5 years ago today: Bootsy's Rubber Band - Jam Fan (Hot) My song pick 6 years ago today: Van Halen - The Dream is Over...
