Cosmic Dancer

one of the most beautiful songs ever written

On the Acoustic Warrior album, Marc says, "This is a song about reincarnation" before playing Cosmic Dancer.

First off, just12: Marc Bolan did not die from "an OD of the quintessential disco drug," he died as a passenger in a car his girlfriend accidentally drove into a tree. Yes, he was involved with drugs for a time, but was actually clean and coming back at the time of his death. (look at any Bolan fan site). Anyway, I love this song, even before I knew it was about reincarnation (according to Marc), but that makes me like it even more. To me, the song is about living your life fully, from birth to death, and then some--to recognize that death isn't the end of life, just a small part in the tapestry of a cosmic dance.

How can no one comment on T Rex ? One of the greatest bands there ever was and no one says anything about them. Urgh. Sums up Britain. We'd rather listen to "Crazy Frog".

This is one of my favorite T.Rex songs. It is definately not about the car accident thing. Marc died in a car accident while his wife was driving but she survived. I don't think his kid was in the car and Rolan Bolan is very much alive. The mood of the song is so strange and the idea of dancing from the womb to the tomb is perfect Bolan. That carefree perfect expression in dancing. The Cosmic Dancer is Shiva from the Hindu religion, representing the act of creation and destruction so I am guessing that this song is about Bolan as an artist or poet, a sort of song about destiny. I know he used to call himself the Bolan Child and thought he was destined to become something big.

THIS SONG IS WONDERFUL

Ahhh this song brings back memories of billy elliot movie. yeh it is about reincarnation, as far as i know. youre right

To me it's about enjoying something so much that you give it your all and refuse to let go.

mmm pretty, i don't know what it means, but it reminds me of jamie bell jumping on the bed in "billy elliot" maybe it's just someone who loves dancing, loves it so much they're just COSMIC aahhh!!

Some one who loves dancing and have been doin it al their lives. Duno but this song is ace!!!!!!! Luv it. But I luv all the songs that r in Billy elliot
