Info about song

While it is uncertain what the song is really about (like other Bowie songs), the lyrics make oblique reference to life in post-9/11 New York. However the video clip, directed by Brumby Boylston of National Television, tells a surreal story using lenticular-postcard like images of a spaceship almost crashing into the modern American heartland. Bowie himself said of the song: "I’m not a political commentator, but I think there are times when I’m stretched to at least implicate what’s happening politically in the songs that I’m writing. And there was some nod, in a very abstract way, toward the wrongs that are being made at the moment with the Middle Eastern situation. I think that song is a pretty good manifesto for the whole record." There's a reference in the lyrics of "Let's Face the Music and Dance", which says: "There may be trouble ahead/So while there's music and moonlight and love and romance/Let's face the music and dance". Gerry Leonard uses an EBow to play the repetitive guitar lick all through the song. Read more on Last.fm.
