Breaking Glass (song)
"Breaking Glass" is a song by the English singer-songwriter David Bowie. It was co-written by Bowie, bassist George Murray and drummer Dennis Davis in September 1976. Originally a track on Bowie's 1977 album '' Low'', a reworked version of the song was a regular on the Isolar II Tour.

Bowie performed "Breaking Glass" on his Isolar II, Serious Moonlight, Outside, Heathen, and A Reality tours. Lyrics The original song was uncompromising even by '' Low''s standards.

The Buddha Of Suburbia (song)
"The Buddha of Suburbia" is the theme song to the BBC TV series of the same name, released by David Bowie in November 1993. It was re-recorded with Lenny Kravitz for Bowie's album, also titled '' The Buddha of Suburbia'', and inspired by his musical score for the series. The single reached No. 35 in the UK singles chart. Background One of the few tracks from the series that was actually retained unchanged for the album, its nostalgic lyrics were matched by a sound that was something of a pastiche of Bowie's past work, while retaining a fresh sound. Two places in the song there are references to older Bowie songs, the guitar break from "Space Oddity" and the line "Zane, zane, zane, ouvre le chien" from " All the Madmen". Confusingly, several different versions of the song were released, some with no differentiation in title. Album track No. 1 ("Buddha of Suburbia") does not feature Lenny Kravitz. Album track No. 10 does feature him, but is not titled any differently from ...

Glass Spider Tour
The Glass Spider Tour was a 1987 worldwide concert tour by English musician David Bowie, launched in support of his album ''Never Let Me Down'' and named for that album's track "Glass Spider". It began in May 1987 and was preceded by a two-week press tour that saw Bowie visit nine countries throughout Europe and North America to drum up public interest in the tour. The Glass Spider Tour was the first Bowie tour to visit Austria, Italy, Spain, Ireland and Wales. Through a sponsorship from Pepsi, the tour was intended to visit Russia and South America as well, but these plans were later cancelled. The tour was, at that point, the longest and most expensive tour Bowie had embarked upon in his career. At the time, the tour's elaborate set was called "the largest touring set ever". Bowie conceived the tour as a theatrical show, and included spoken-word introductions to some songs, vignettes, and employed visuals including projected videos, theatrical lighting and stage props.

The Hearts Filthy Lesson
"The Hearts Filthy Lesson" (no apostrophe in "Hearts") is a song by David Bowie, from his 1995 album '' Outside'', and issued as a single ahead of the album. It showcased Bowie's new, industrial-influenced sound. Lyrically, the single connects with the rest of the album, with Bowie offering a lament to "tyrannical futurist" Ramona A. Stone, a theme continued in subsequent songs. The song is also meant to confront Bowie's own perceptions about the ritual creation and degradation of art. It appears in the end credits of the 1995 film '' Seven''. Song development The song came out of the March 1994 ''Leon'' sessions in which Bowie and his band had performed long, improvised musical numbers, from which much of the album ''Outside'' was born. Due to the song coming out of band experimentation, the song is credited with 6 authors: Bowie, Brian Eno, Reeves Gabrels, Mike Garson, Erdal Kızılçay, and Sterling Campbell. Bowie would say that the song "doesn't have a straightforward ...
