Fantastic Voyage (02:58)
David Bowie • Lodger
In the event that this fantastic voyage
Should turn to erosion and we never get old
Remember it's true, dignity is valuable
But our lives are valuable, too.

We're learning to live with somebody's depression
And I don't want to live with somebody's depression
We'll get by, I suppose

It's a very modern world, but nobody's perfect
It's a moving world, but that's no reason
to shoot some of those missiles
Think of us as fatherless scum
It won't be forgotten
'Cause we'll never say anything nice again, will we?

And the wrong words make you listen
In this criminal world
Remember it's true, a loyalty is valuable
But our lives are valuable, too.

We're learning to live with somebody's depression
And I don't want to live with somebody's depression
We'll get by, I suppose

But any sudden movement and I've got to write it down
They wipe out an entire race and I've got to write it down
But I'm still getting educated but I've got to write it down
And it won't be forgotten
'Cause I'll never say anything nice again, how can I?

D.J. (04:02)
David Bowie • Lodger
Bowie music by David Bowie, Brian Eno and Carlos Alomar
I'm home, lost my job, and incurably ill
You think this is easy, realism
I've got a girl out there, I suppose
I think she's dancing
Feel like Dan Dare lies down
I think she's dancing, what do I know?

I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around, no, oh, ooh
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around, no, oh no

I am a D.J., I am what I play
I got believers (kiss-kiss)
Believing me, oh

One more, weekend, of lights and evening faces
Fast food, living nostalgia
Humble pie or bitter fruit

I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around no, ooh

I am a D.J., I am what I say
Can't turn around no, can't turn around, ooh

I am a D.J., I am what I play
I've got believers (kiss-kiss)
Believing me

I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can turn around no (kiss-kiss)

Time flies when you're having fun
Break his heart, break her heart
He used to be my boss and millions of puppet dancer
I am a D.J., and I've got believers

I've got believers
I've got believers
I've got believers in me
I've got believers
I am a D.J., I am what I play
I am a D.J.

Look Back in Anger (03:10)
David Bowie • Lodger
You know who I am, he said
The speaker was an angel
He coughed and shook his crumpled wings
Closed his eyes and moved his lips
It's time we should be going

(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, driven by the night
Till you come
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, see it in my eyes
Till you come

No one seemed to hear him
So he leafed through a magazine
And, yawning, rubbed the sleep away
Very sane he seemed to me

(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, driven by the night
Till you come
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, feel it in my voice
Till you come

(Waiting so long, ahhh...)
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) (Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
(Waiting so long, ahhh...)

Boys Keep Swinging (03:19)
David Bowie • Lodger
1.2.3.4
Heaven loves ya
The clouds part for ya
Nothing stands in your way
When you're a boy

Clothes always fit ya
Life is a pop of the cherry
When you're a boy

When you're a boy
You can wear a uniform
When you're a boy
Other boys check you out
You get a girl
These are your favourite things
When you're a boy

Boys
Boys
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out

Uncage the colours
Unfurl the flag
Luck just kissed you hello
When you're a boy

They'll never clone ya
You're always first on the line
When you're a boy

When you're a boy
You can buy a home of your own
When you're a boy
Learn to drive and everything
You'll get your share
When you're a boy

Boys
Boys
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out

Repetition (03:01)
David Bowie • Lodger
Johnny is a man
And he's bigger than you
But his overheads are high
And he looks straight through when you ask him how the kids are

He'll get home around seven
'Cause the chevy's real old
And he could have had a cadillac
If the school had taught him right
And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse
He could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse

And the food is on the table
But the food is cold
Don't hit her

"Can't you even cook?
What's the good of me working when you can't damn cook?"

Well Johnny is a man
And he's bigger than her
I guess the bruises won't show
If she wears long sleeves
But the space in her eyes shows through

And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse
He could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse
Shows through
Shows through
Shows through

David Bowie Lodger • di Dune Buggy

 L'oscuro equilibrio berlinese si dissolve in dieci canzoni straordinarie, destabilizzanti, dai mille profumi e dalle mille contaminazioni.

 Bowie distrugge ogni convenzione ed ogni immagine passata, ironizza sulla nuova gioventù e su ciò che lui stesso era.

La recensione presenta Lodger come un disco innovativo e fondamentale nella carriera di David Bowie, nonostante l'opinione comune della sua minor rilevanza. Con l'abbandono dell'elettronica berlinese e un ritorno alla forma canzone, Bowie mescola contaminazioni etniche, ironia e sperimentazioni sonore, offrendo un’opera ricca, destabilizzante e memorabile. Il sodalizio con Brian Eno segna un punto di svolta cruciale, mentre il lavoro anticipa i successivi sviluppi artistici del cantante. Scopri l’incredibile viaggio musicale di Lodger e lasciati sorprendere da Bowie!


David Bowie lodger • di bogusman

 You Know Who I Am - he said! non sappiamo se chi parlava fosse veramente un angelo o un diavolo o qualche altro fantasma, ma vorremmo tanto che questa figura tornasse a fare visita a Bowie.

 Un errore ripetuto tre volte diventa un arrangiamento, se poi lo ripetiamo per tutto un brano abbiamo Repetition.

Lodger, terzo album collaborativo tra David Bowie e Brian Eno, si presenta come un viaggio musicale ricco di sperimentazione e contaminazioni. La recensione evidenzia la complessità e l'originalità delle tracce, tra rock nervoso, influenze reggae e techno-giungla. Brani come 'Move On', 'Look Back In Anger' e 'Boys Keep Swinging' sono celebrati per la loro energia e innovazione sonora. Un album che conferma Bowie come un artista sempre in evoluzione e capace di sorprendere. Ascolta Lodger e immergiti nella genialità sperimentale di David Bowie.

Costruito grazie ai Planned Accidents di Brian Eno è un Fantastic Voyage da Berlino a NYC (via Instanbul) più ondivago di Low e Heroes ma con alcune oscure perle new wave, come African Night Flight (piccolo gioiellino etno-funk), il JapRock Red Sails e la coppia Look Back In Anger-DJ ch…

Ultimo album della trilogia berlinese, un pò inferiore ai due precedenti ma ugualmente bello.

African Night Flight (2017 Remaster)
Lodger sarà sicuramente inferiore a Low e Heroes, ma questa perla è figa assai. Una delle canzoni più 'freak' del Duca.
