What’s your favorite song you ever wrote and is there a particular reason it’s the favorite? "Sheesh! Right now I would say the song “Heathen.” It came pouring out one morning at the studio up in Woodstock. I had little or no control over it. It had me in tears as I sang it. It felt like it was being plucked from my very being. An epiphany of sorts. It seems to be a summation of some kind and I think will become a personal milestone of some sort to me. It contains for me a strong indication of how beautiful and wonderful life is and how I regret that I will have to relinquish my hold upon it. I could only have written it at my present age." https://www.thedailybeast.com/david-bowie-on-911-and-god

Wonderfully cinematic. Equally, the strings, brass and synth elements all add a touch of melancholy yet it's somehow hopeful. It does indeed sound very end of life yet, life affirming. Best track on the album.

Nice song, and another Beatles reference on this album in the lyrics: [track artist=george harrison]all things must pass[/track] by George Harrison!

Great way to end an album!... oh, and do I hear handclaps towards the end? Me thinks I do!
