SONG OF THE DAY :: David BOWIE 'Conversation Piece' 2000/2021

Conversation Piece - David Bowie


David Bowie - Conversation Piece (2000/2021)

New/old Bowie - the Toy LP recorded in 2000 has finally been released all together instead of the dribs and drabs that came out in the past. It contains re-recordings of songs Bowie did in the 1960s.  The record company wanted something like Young Americans so they refused to release it. I’m a fan of the 60s stuff, but the original version of Conversation Piece (b-side of The Prettiest Star) is not particularly memorable.  However, to hear Bowie singing the lyrics that he wrote as a young man is very moving.  And yes, no one remembers him.

I’m invisible and dumb,
And no-one will recall me


Nice post from Guess I'm Dumb
