A Sense of Doubt blog post #3625 - "I'm Deranged" - David Bowie - in David Lynch's Lost Highway - Music Monday 2501.20
It's David Bowie month, and I have not posted nearly enough Bowie content.
I know today is MLK Day and Inauguration Day. I think today's song fits very well with the latter not as much with the former, though after reading March about John Lewis I feel MLK has slipped off the pedestal a bit. Just a bit. Still a great man and a great tragedy that he was assassinated. But I guess I was surprised to learn that he was human.
I selected today's song because of David Lynch's death last week and today is Lynch's 79th birthday.

We were all to meditate at Noon.

The Daily Bowie #36 - "I'm Deranged"
"The clutch of life and the fist of love"
1995 interview with David Bowie
DAVID BOWIE
OUTSIDE
"I'M DERANGED"
FOLLOWING TEXT FROM PUSHING AHEAD OF THE DAME: "I'M DERANGED":
Inspired by his and Eno’s trip to the Gugging Psychiatric Clinic in 1994 (from which Bowie took the image of the “Angel Man,” see above), Bowie chopped up a provisional lyric via his Verbasizer computer program, then crafted a run of lines that followed eddies of thought and made shotgun marriages of vowel sounds (“be real” becomes “before we reel”; “blonde” quickly summons “beyond”). The lyric’s perspective isn’t that of a madman as much as someone with romantic hopes of growing mad, with an undercurrent of masochism (“I’d start to believe…if I were to bleed,” Bowie sings, gently extending his long Es) and a few phrases suggesting that Bowie had been reading John Rechy again (“cruise me baby,” “the fist of love”).
"I'm Deranged" - OUTSIDE - 1995
"I'm Deranged"
Funny how secrets travel
I'd start to believe
if I were to bleed
Thin skies, the man chains his hands held high
Cruise me blond
Cruise me babe
A blond belief beyond beyond beyond
No return No return
I'm deranged
Deranged my love
I'm deranged down down down
So cruise me babe cruise me baby
[CHORUS]
And the rain sets in
It's the angel-man
I'm deranged
Cruise me cruise me cruise me babe
The clutch of life and the fist of love
Over your head
Big deal Salaam
Be real deranged Salaam
Before we reel
I'm deranged
[CHORUS (two times)]
Cruise me cruise me cruise me babe
I'm deranged

- Days ago: MOM = 3489 days ago & DAD = 145 days ago
- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
