Álbum Heathen de David Bowie - Canciones

Heathen

Reseña

"Heathen" es el álbum número 22 en la discografía de David Bowie y fue lanzado al mercado el 11 de junio de 2002 bajo su priopio sello, ISO Records, en colaboración con Columbia Records. La producción se vio afectada por los ataques a las Torres Gemelas de Nueva York el 11 de septiembre de 2001, fecha en la que se encontraban en plena tarea para preparar el álbum.

"Heathen" se convirtió en un éxito en Estados Unidos, alcanzando el puesto catorce en las listas de discos más vendidos. La crítica especializada también elogió este trabajo de Bowie. Todo ello hizo que las ventas alcanzaran el millón de copias en todo el mundo y que Bowie se sumara a una gira promocional, titulada "Heathen Tour" que le ocupó gran parte de 2002.

Para "Heathen" David Bowie contó nuevamente con la colaboración del productor Tony Visconti, quien produjo varios de los álbumes clásicos del artista inglés, el último de ellos "Scary Monsters", en 1980. También fue el primero sin Reeves Gabrels, quien había comenzado su colaboración con Bowie en 1989, en el álbum "Tin Machine".

Las letras estaban influenciads por el ataque terrorista en Nueva York y temas como "Slow Burn", "Afraid", "A Better Future" y "Heathen (The Rays)" tratan de la degradación humana y del mundo en general.

    letra de Cactus

    Sitting here
    Wishing on a cement floor
    Just wishing that
    I had just something you wore
    I put it on when I go lonely
    Will you take off your dress
    And send it to me?

    I miss your kissin'
    And I miss your head
    And a letter in your writing
    Doesn't mean you're not dead

    Just run outside in the desert heat
    Make your dress all wet
    And send it to me
    I miss your soup and I miss your bread
    And a letter in your writing
    Doesn't mean you're not dead
    So spill your breakfast
    And drip your wine
    Just wear that dress when you dine

    D-A-V-I-D

    So, sitting here wishing
    On a cement floor
    Just wishing that I had just something you wore
    Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
    Wipe'em on your dress
    And send it to me
    Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
    Just wishing that I had just something you wore

    letra de Afraid

    I wish I was smarter
    I got so lost on the shore
    I wish I was taller
    Things really matter to me

    But I put my face in tomorrow
    I believe we're not alone
    I believe in Beatles
    I believe my little soul has grown
    And I'm still so afraid

    Yes, I'm still so afraid
    Yea, I'm still so afraid on my own
    On my own
    What made my life so wonderful?
    What made me feel so bad?
    I used to wake up the ocean
    I used to walk on clouds
    If I put faith in medication
    If I can smile a crooked smile
    If I can talk on television
    If I can walk an empty mile
    Then I won't feel afraid
    No, I won't feel afraid
    I won't be Be afraid
    Anymore
    Anymore
    Anymore

    letra de I Would Be Your Slave

    Walking in the snowy street
    Let me understand
    Drifting down a silent park
    Stumbling over land
    Open up your heart to me
    Show me who you are
    And I would be your slave

    Do you sleep in quietude?
    Do you walk in peace?
    Do you laugh out loud at me?
    No one else that is free
    Open up your heart to me
    Show me all you are
    And I would be your slave

    I don't sit around and wait
    I don't give a damn
    I don't see the point at all
    No footprints in the sand

    I bet you laugh out loud at me
    A chance to strike me down
    Give me peace of mind at last
    Show me all you are
    Open up your heart to me
    And I would be your slave

    I don't sit and wait
    I don't give a damn
    I don't see the point at all
    No footprints in the sand
    I would give you all my love
    Nothing else is free
    Open up your heart to me
    And I would be your slave

    letra de I Took a Trip on a Gemini Spaceship

    Took a trip on a Gemini spacecraft
    And I thought about you
    I passed through the shadow of Jupiter
    And I thought about you

    I shot my spacegun
    And boy I really felt blue

    Two or three flying saucers
    Parked under the stars, winding stream
    Moon shining down on some little town
    And with each beam the same old dream

    I took a trip on a Gemini spacecraft
    And I thought about you
    Well I shot my spacegun
    And I thought about you

    Pulled down my sun visor
    Boy, I really felt blue

    You jumped into your Gemini, I jumped into mine
    We'll orbit the Moon for just one time
    Tomorrow night, tomorrow night
    Will you hold hands with me under the moonlight?

    Took a trip in a Gemini spacecraft
    And I thought about you
    I shot my spacegun
    And I thought about you

    And I took a, I took a walk in space
    Boy, I really felt blue

    Well I peeked through the crack and looked way back
    Stardust trail leading back to you
    What did I do? What could I do? What did I do?
    Well

    I thought about you
    I thought about you
    Took a trip on a Gemini spacecraft
    And thought about you

    letra de 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
