from Oannes *

Αυτή είναι η αυθεντική εκτέλεση ενός τραγουδιού του Bowie που είναι περισσότερο γνωστό από την “τελική” του, στο Aladdin Sane [1973]. Στην κιθάρα ο Marc Bolan – τρία χρόνια αργότερα ο Mick Ronson θα έκανε μια πιστή αναπαραγωγή της.

This is the original recording [1970] of a Bowie’s song better known in its Aladdin Sane “final” version [1973]. Marc Bolan is on guitar – three years later, Mick Ronson would perform a complete reproduction of it.

❝ Cold fire, you’ve got everything but cold fire
You will be my rest and peace child
I moved up to take a place, near you
So tired, it’s the sky that makes you feel tried
It’s a trick to make you see wide
It can all but break your heart, in pieces
Staying back in your memory
Are the movies in the dark
How you moved is all it takes
To sing a song of when I loved
The prettiest star
One day though it might as well be someday
You and I will rise up all the way
All because of what you are
The prettiest star
Staying back in your memory
Are the movies in the past
How you moved is all it takes
To sing a song of when I loved
Prettiest star
One day though it might as well be someday
You and I will rise up all the way
All because of what you are
The prettiest star ❞

As always, I’m happy to hear your thoughts, however I’d highly recommend a direct dialogue with the …’source’ [why comments are closed here], so please visit Oannes’ page where you can also listen to the song !
