@[res07njc:33957] : Very interesting. COuld also be that she is superior in her “simplicity”. Although subject to her fathers dominance, she is closer to the real world/nature than he is in his “complexity” as you write it. Her “pleasure knoes no limits” she’s close to true nature, and her loyalty is “to the stars above”: And your pleasure knows no limits Your voice is like a meadowlark But your heart is like an ocean Mysterious and dark She is probably more ture to life than most of us. Just a thought of course :-) |

@[ecekam:33956] : I think you got it right. They are definately laying in the same bed in the beginning. Thats a great start to understand the mood in the rest of teh song. Much later in the song I & I he sings: “Beens son long since a strange woman slept in my bed, look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams” |

@[originl:33828] Yes for me the three central lines in this song is, that no matter what these Badlands are doing to get you, "You gotta live it everyday", "Spit it in the face" , "it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive" |

| @[JVJ:33824] : Or it could be “that the pulse returns” is a longing to reminisce songs from the past - and celebrate them as “prodigal son(g)”s | |

Maybe the term “Prodigal” in its fullest meaning, biblical, show us why David Bowie, cannot give everything away. The Prodigal Song returns after it’s squandering, it’s not just forgiven, it’s return is celebrated - even in his darkest hours he finds room to celebrate all his returning songs that comes to mind. A part of the song possibly cannot be given away? At least not it’s full menaing. But it can be shared - and we are greateful for David Bowie sharing. The Prodigal Son - WiKi In the story, a father has two sons. The younger son asks the father for his inheritance, and the father grants his son's request. However, the younger son is prodigal (i.e., wasteful and extravagant) and squanders his fortune, eventually becoming destitute. The younger son is forced to return home empty-handed and intends to beg his father to accept him back as a servant. To the son's surprise, he is not scorned by his father but is welcomed back with celebration and welcoming party. Envious, the older son refuses to participate in the festivities. The father tells the older son "you are ever with me, and all that I have is yours, but thy younger brother was lost and now he is found". |

@[brittanyei:33823] : Thanks a lot for sharing. Agree the song and video is clearly about his own death. Could it be that “ I'm so high it makes my brain whirl”, is him being dizzy from all the drugs during his decease, which also explaing why he dropped his cell phone. If it’s a reference to his earlier drug use - then in those days the cell phone wasn’t invented. Like your reference to “the scars” from his Ziggy/Aladdin period. |
