Yassassin
"Yassassin" (Bowie's pronunciation ; also known as "Yassassin (Turkish for: Long Live)", and released in Turkey as "Yassassin (Yaşasın)") is a song written by English singer-songwriter David Bowie for the 1979 album '' Lodger''. "Yassassin" is an incongruous reggae song with a Turkish flavour. The title of the song is derived from the Turkish verb used to wish someone a long life, spelled ''yaşasın'' (), from the verbal root ''yaşa-'' 'live' with the third-person imperative ending; therefore ''yaşasın'' literally means 'may he/she live'. "Yassassin" was released as a single – the third single to be released from ''Lodger'' – but only in the Netherlands and Turkey. The Dutch single edit of the song was included on ''Re:Call 3'', part of the ''A New Career in a New Town (1977–1982)'' compilation (2017).

Lodger (album)
''Lodger'' is the 13th studio album by English musician David Bowie, released on 25 May 1979 through RCA Records. After an eventful year that saw the release of two studio albums, '' Low'' and '' "Heroes"'', and many other side projects in 1977, Bowie embarked on the Isolar II world tour in 1978. During a break in the tour, Bowie regrouped with collaborator Brian Eno and producer Tony Visconti to record his next album. The final release of the Berlin Trilogy, the album was recorded mainly at Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland, in September 1978. Most of the same personnel from prior releases returned, and future King Crimson guitarist Adrian Belew joined from the tour. The recording sessions saw the use of techniques inspired by Eno's Oblique Strategies cards, such as having the musicians swap instruments and play old songs backwards. After the Isolar II world tour, further recording and mixing took place at the Record Plant in New York City in March 1979. Th ...

Look Back In Anger (song)
"Look Back in Anger" is a song written by English artists David Bowie and Brian Eno for the album '' Lodger'' (1979). It concerns "a tatty 'Angel of Death'",Roy Carr & Charles Shaar Murray (1981). ''Bowie: An Illustrated Record'': p.106 and features a guitar solo by Carlos Alomar. RCA Records was unsure if America was ready for the sexual androgyny of " Boys Keep Swinging", the lead-off single from ''Lodger'' in most territories, and "Look Back in Anger" was issued instead.Nicholas Pegg (2000). ''The Complete David Bowie'': p.131 The B-side was another track from ''Lodger'' called "Repetition", a story of domestic violence. The single failed to chart. Beyond the shared title, the song has nothing to do with the John Osborne play ''Look Back in Anger''. Bowie performed the song on his 1983 Serious Moonlight Tour (it is the opening number on the ''Serious Moonlight'' film) and reworked it in the mid-1990s as a heavy rock song for the Outside, Earthling, Heathen tours.

After Saul and Jonathan are both killed in battle against the Philistines, a 30-year-old David is anointed king over all of Israel and Judah. Following his rise to power, David c ...

Berlin Trilogy
The Berlin Trilogy consists of three studio albums by English musician David Bowie: '' Low'', '' "Heroes"'' (both 1977) and '' Lodger'' (1979). The trilogy originated following Bowie's move from Los Angeles, California, to Europe to rid himself of worsening drug addiction. Influences included krautrock, the German music genre, and the recent ambient releases of English musician Brian Eno. After cancelling a proposed soundtrack album for ''The Man Who Fell to Earth'' (in which he starred), Bowie embarked on the Isolar tour and then moved to Europe. Before work began on the trilogy, Bowie co-wrote and produced Iggy Pop's debut solo album ''The Idiot'', which features a sound similar to that which Bowie would explore in the trilogy. He also collaborated with Pop for his second solo album '' Lust for Life'' before recording ''"Heroes"''. Both albums were released in 1977. Bowie recorded the trilogy in collaboration with Eno and American producer Tony Visconti. The albums featured ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Shearwater (band)
Shearwater is an American indie rock band from Austin, Texas, led by multi-instrumentalist and lead singer Jonathan Meiburg, a singer-songwriter. The band's music is notable for its imagery based in nature, cerebral yet intimate melodic songs, as well as Meiburg's vocals. History Early years In 1999, Okkervil River band members Jonathan Meiburg and Will Sheff founded Shearwater as an outlet for quieter songs on which they were collaborating. The band's name comes from the shearwater, a tribe of seabirds related to petrels and albatrosses. Meiburg, who holds a master's degree in geography with a focus on ornithology, picked the name mostly for the sound of the word. Shearwater's debut, '' The Dissolving Room'', introduced Kim Burke on upright bass; shortly after, drummer and vibraphonist Thor Harris joined the band.
