Bowie nagrał ten album w 1972, a ja w peerelowskiej
rzeczywistości odkryłam go - i zakupiłam nagrany na kasetę - w
moim pamiętnym roku następnym. Lato 1973. Pamiętam. Towarzyszyły
mi wtedy wszystkie utwory z The
Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars,
ale po latach najchętniej wracam do tego, stosunkowo prostego - Soul
Love:
Inspirations have I none
Just to touch the flaming dove
All I have is my love of love
And love is not loving
Stone love, she kneels before the grave
A brave son, who gave his life
To save the slogans
That hovers between the headstone and her eyes
For they penetrate her grieving
New love, a boy and girl are talking
New words, that only they can share in
New words, a love so strong it tears their hearts
To sleep through the fleeting hours of morning
Love is careless in its choosing
Sweeping over cross a baby
Love descends on those defenseless
Idiot love will spark the fusion
Inspirations have I none
Just to touch the flaming dove
All I have is my love of love
And love is not loving
Soul love, the priest that tastes the word and
Told of love, and how my God on high is
All love, though reaching up my loneliness evolves
By the blindness that surrounds him
Love is careless in its choosing...
I jeszcze inna próbka z tego samego albumu, utwór o wiele
bardziej gęsty, który wtedy chyba był mi muzycznie bliższy, ale
który treściowo zrozumiałam chyba dopiero niedawno:
