“Karma Man;” Is a song which can be received in many different ways, with possible interpretations ranging from it being a judicious and jaunty look at the quantifiable nature of people’s tolerance for soothsayers and people who are jolly to the point of annoyance, to the interpretation of it as a flimsy and vacillating attempt to interest people in the rest of the CD (it was released as a B-Side single, but never دیا any attention otherwise, as if they knew it was not destined for greatness but merely wanted to put it out there).
I disliked the broken speed of the song, and the applicability of the song to only that which is useless, and even its quaint aspect didn’t attract me to it as its other defects were too marked. A weak song lacking a steady beat یا chorus, it is no surprise that it was not received well سے طرف کی the public.
“Karma Man” is not annoying enough to stick in your head, and not good enough to lift and drop your spirits. Fragile to the point of being invisible against the other tracks, it might have been better had it been invisible, as its lacklustre tone has stolen a good three منٹ of many a person’s life.

“The Gospel According to Tony Day;” Is an allegoric collection of different people’s schemas in approach to life as viewed سے طرف کی Bowie. It clearly displays the driving force which Bowie senses behind these collections of people in their approach to most things in life.
A somewhat restrained sound permeates the song, as it lacks the life and emotiveness which most of the CD contains. This track holds an intriguing view on society, but it lacks the force which is usually so effortlessly conveyed through and with Bowie’s other songs. On another level, however, it is powerful in that it realises...

“Little Bombardier;” is the tragic tale of the termination of a retired soldier’s innocent friendship with a pair of young children due to the cynicism of those in authority. Regardless the ties to Bowie’s own life, and the messages it holds in that aspect, it is applicable to almost any situation of ultra-cynicism and suspicion. Bowie ridicules the distrustful nature of most people today – a nature transferred upon people through the medium of the tabloids and general press, and the constant depravation and corruption which is constantly lambasted and emphasised سے طرف کی these mediums....

“We Are Hungry Men;” Is an amusing look at the idea of the world over-populating, and the nature of those who make to bring this message of impending doom to the general population. It explores the idea that those who are pushing the message of over-population are selfish and “not your friends,” as they attempt to do anything they can to continue their own personal existences, regardless of what others may want.
The track explores the idea of a lack of political conscience, and the full egos of those in control who are shocked when their message of ‘salvation’ is not taken well....

“Did آپ Ever Have a Dream;” Is a jaunty snapshot of the other-worldly brilliance of dreams, which we tend to take for granted. “I will travel round the world one night, on the magic wings of astral flight,” is but one of the lines from this song which attempts to point out the obvious; dreams are “A very special knowledge,” and they’re something which is totally ethereal. People tend to accept dreams for what they are: commonplace. Certainly, some people lay great stock سے طرف کی their dreams and others will gleefully tell آپ of their imaginary night-time exploits, but the general...

“Sell Me A Coat;” Shares elements of “Uncle Arthur,” as it gives a clear picture of Bowie’s purest voice, however the general tone and subject of the song is مجموعی طور پر مزید sombre thanks to the introduction of a slower rhythm and dejected plaint from Bowie.
Introduced سے طرف کی the slow, sure intonation of “La la la la la,” “Sell Me A Coat” creates a bittersweet picture of Bowie’s loss of his “Summer girl.” Whether physical یا purely metaphorical, this story, however peculiarly executed, certainly proved a foundation for some of Bowie’s later work; introducing his tendency to...
