Happy New Year to all.

As you must know, David Bowie passed away last Sunday, so as a tribute to this unique artist let me introduce you one of his best songs, The Man Who Sold The World. This song is the title track of his third album (1970) and it has been covered by other artists ( Lulu in 1974, and Nirvana in 1993), although I prefer the original writer/singer.


We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed

I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long long time ago

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

Have a nice weekend.
