Sound and Vision Lyrics

Lyric discussion by CrossbowProphecy 

Cover art for Sound and Vision lyrics by David Bowie

This song is about David Bowie realizing that he needs to stop his drugs. He said that he wished he could be put into a room with an annoyingly bright color and just get over it. The entire album though, is what he meant to be the soundtrack for "The Man Who Fell to Earth." But when he was asked to make the soundtrack, he was to drugged to write anything that sounded decent. So a little before the release of the movie after he had gotten clean, he sent the album to the director telling him this had been what he meant it to be. On the movie though, it was all Pink Floyd music..

@CrossbowProphecy once I caught a fleeting glimpse... and it was Sound and Vision...

@CrossbowProphecy There's no David Bowie nor is there any Pink Floyd on the soundtrack to "The Man Who Fell To Earth"
