Berlin / Berlim

fotografia: clara lourenço | 21 setembro 2013

 

"Where are you now?" é certamente um dos temas mais pessoais e autobiográficos de David Bowie, que reflecte a sua estada em Berlim entre 1976 e 1978. Não faltam, nessa também homenagem à cidade, referências a KaDeWe, Potsdamer Platz, Dschungel em Nürnberger Straße e ponte Bösebrücke entre Wedding e Prenzlauer Berg.

David Bowie partiu há sete anos (8.1.1947 / 10.1.2016); o seu legado continua bem vivo!

«Look up here, I'm in heaven»

«We can be heroes, just for one day.» Where are you now?

Had to get the train
From Potsdamer Platz
You never knew that
That I could do that
Just walking the dead

Sitting in the Dschungel
On Nürnberger 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
Cross Bösebrücke
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
