The Daily Bowie #67 - "A Better Future"

The Daily Bowie #67 - "A Better Future"

Maybe I should rename this feature the weekly Bowie.

Found a great remix by Air.

This is a happy thing for a Monday that is not clear in its emotional state.

I DEMAND A BETTER FUTURE.

And I have a very big wolf to help me get it.

PUSHING AHEAD OF THE DAME: "A BETTER FUTURE"







What bred this irritation? Fatherhood and terrorism, it seemed. “I had rosy expectations for the 21st Century, I really did,” Bowie told the Observer in 2002. “The whole idea was lifting my spirits quite a lot during 1998 and 1999. But it has become something other that what I expected it to be. And it’s obviously a pretty typical parental concern to wonder what type of a world you have brought your child into.”

So “A Better Future” was meant as a plea “to whoever that higher spirit is…because I want a place where my daughter can grow up safely, walking open-eyed into her ambitions—not having to dodge bullets” (from PUSHING AHEAD OF THE DAME).

"A Better Future"

Please don't tear this world asunder

Please take back

this fear we're under

I demand a better future

Or I might just stop wanting you

I might just stop wanting you

Please make sure we get tomorrow

All this pain and all the sorrow

I demand a better future

Or I might just stop needing you

I might just stop needing you

Give my children sunny smile

Give them moon and cloudless sky

I demand a better future

Or I might just stop loving you,

loving you, loving you

When we talk, we talk to you

When we walk, we walk to you

From factory to field

How many tears must fall

Down there below

Nothing is moving

Oo-o

I might just stop wanting you

I might just stop needing you

I might just stop loving you

I demand a better future

I demand a better future

I demand a better future

For I might just stop loving you,

loving you, loving you

I demand a better future

I demand a better future

I demand a better future

For I might just stop loving you, loving you, loving you

I demand a better future

Rest in peace, David. We miss you.

NOTE ON WHY THE DAILY BOWIE IS NO LONGER DAILY: For 53 days, I completed daily Bowie posts. My schedule is too demanding to make a post every day, so this will now be a feature that is called The Daily Bowie, but it will not be daily. I will post as I can. I will post often. But if I miss a day, I will skip it. Otherwise, I get in the position of making five Bowie posts all in one day, and that's a lot of Bowie for people to swallow all at once... (yeah, leaving that badly phrased, innuendo packed statement. I bet Bowie would have laughed at it).
