Woke up this morning with this song in my head “Where are we Now?” by David Bowie, from his new album titled The Next Day. The dream involved me meeting him, standing next to him like we were best friends. People were taking photos of him and I was trying to get some of them to take one of me with him. I didn’t have my iPhone, just this Windows based phone that was pissing me off because I couldn’t get the camera working. He turns to me and starts speaking to me, saying strange nonsensical things…there’s not much that I remember, only that after he finished speaking, he walked away and got lost in a crowd of people. I followed him because I wanted a pic of him, and only managed to take one of him from behind. I followed him through the crowd, down stairs, through a kitchen, and then he disappeared. I went up some stairs to a large room that was dark, until the lights went on and I saw a massive crowd all around a stage. Then a lady came on and introduced David Bowie to the cheering masses. It’s been a long time since he put out an album, and people have been wondering when and if he would ever come out of hiding, recovering from his heart surgery. I don’t know what the dream meant, maybe I’ll find clues in the song.
Had to get the train
From Potzdamer platz
You never knew that
That I could do that
Just walking the dead
Sitting in the Dschungel
On Nurnberger strasse
A man lost in time near KaDeWe
Just walking the dead
Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know
Twenty thousand people
Gross Bose Brucke
Fingers are crossed
Just in case
Walking the dead
Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know
As long as there’s sun
As long as there’s sun
As long as there’s rain
As long as there’s rain
As long as there’s fire
As long as there’s fire
As long as there’s me
As long as there’s you
