This song paints so much emotion and imagery. The arrangement is incredible, and Bowie really sings this to heart. This also speaks for the lyrics, painted in a medieval setting, a man speaks of a dream where he takes his love along with and she is held at the highest honor, because he loves her so. Slaying a dragon describes that he would do anything for her. Interesting choice of words "When I live my dream" meaning it has not happened yet, but when this dream does arrive "the memory of the empty man you left behind, its a broken heart that dreams, its a broken heart you left me" signifies that he has a broken heart in reality but in his dream he is in love, and that when he lives his dream that "the trees will play the rhythm of my dream", and all is forgiven, that she is the starring roll. Until that day arrives, he is content to let her go. He wants his lady to tell all the men she will be going to see that it is temporary, that she is part of someones dream. At a personal level, this song is huge. I love and live for that dream. |
