David Bowie - Reeves Gabrels 'Dead Man Walking' Interview

[@andreialt04]

One of my favorite songs ever, I barely have the words to explain the brilliance of it. It's beautiful, it makes you think, and it makes you dance like a freak. Cathartic.

I am really enjoying these "retrospectives" from Reeves Gabrels, as they give lots of personal insights into the workings of my favourite singer/songwriter of all time. The very much missed, David Bowie 😭

[@soundandvision77]

Yes these are great stories from Reeves. I love Earthling, it was my first Bowie album. What I find so interesting about it is that underneath all the drums, noise and textures - most of the songs on Earthling have very simple riffs and melodies that evoke earlier Bowie songs. But they are transformed into something much bigger and challenging on Earthling. Great stuff.

It was my first Bowie Album Too. It was a shock for the 16teen boy I was 🙃

Reeves is one of my favorite guitarists. What a breath of fresh-air when Tin Machine came along at the peak of butt-rock on MTV.

[@jkirtleyheacting]

Brilliant. Love this song, especially the acoustic version they did live a few times.

[@Makoto03]

Dead an Walking has such an additive beat.

[@KlausBahnhof]

Absolutely. Nice to hear from you Sailor Mercury. I had a massive crush on you when I was in high school. Still do, in fact.

[@tinmachine7]

i think it was the riff supermen 1st. could be wrong. Still , it's great to here these stories about David.

[@jackhalloween]

Correct

[@dkno5941]

Such a cool story about Bowie and Page. Love Dead Man Walking. ❤

An overlooked gem a regular on my jogging playlist. Never fails to make me feel alive 🤘

[@Homebrew58]

The interview I heard was David telling is the same Jimmy Page tale except the riff was first used in The Supermen and then on Dead Man.

[@outsidethepyramid]

Also the basically same riff to the Bowie song "The Superman".

El vídeo de Dead Man Walking es una obra de arte!! Me fascinan todos los personajes que creó Floria Sigismondi. Quisiera que ella compartiera más acerca de ellos. Sé que uno de los personajes, el que tiene el peinado alto se llama Violet Iris.

IN MEMORY OF THE SLAIN HERO AND HIS RESURRECTION You roared like a Lion in Manhattan, you spent all your money and lived like a king...you fought the battles of the Lord and came to destitution. You cried out in the gates of the city like a leper Messiah, and none gave heed to your call except the outcasts and dregs of society. You gathered them together as a shepherd gathers his sheep...they came to life at your words, your art and your reckless abandon of all convention. You piped a wondrous tune and the light of light entered into them. You fell into the shadow of death and " looked for his ass". You flew from Station to Station like a demon in your mad quest for redemption--- you redeemed others, yet you didn't redeem yourself. How have the mighty fallen! Your days passed like a shadow,yet you fought the evil eye of Sauron...you fought the wild beasts in the forests of Mordor....the hordes of Gog and Magog descended upon you. They surrounded you like maddened bees, yet you cut them off in the name of the Lord. But Gog had the upper hand and slew you...he desecrated your body, he infested your temple with the wasting disease! Yet you held on to the last and made an everlasting memory of your strife, the cries of your art told the tale of your war, it told the gospel of your death, it published the news of your ascension...here you are, dwelling in heaven, no scars to be seen...here you are, one magical movement from Keter to Malkuth! Here you are, you fly like an angel from Station to Station! Fly on you crazy diamonds, and arise from the dust...the time of your warfare is past... He walks among us like a god among men...and who can tell his tale? He was not regarded by the high and mighty, he was cast off as a freak of nature....yet he gathered the outcasts of Israel...his memory endures forever! He will be given the spoils of war, he will be raised and exalted more than he ever was during the days of his mortality...he is the hope of all of those who have fallen in battle! Shine on, shine on you mad Man, you Hero, you Lazarus, you Blackstar!

Pixar launched very little after this video the new trailer of "Lightyear" with Starman as main theme. Coincidence? I think not!

[@sharonbowie]

I often wonder where the lyrics came from and what they mean. Thanks!
