about

Dedicated to David Bowie
We were still locked up (Covid), when this piece was written, and I imagined Bowie's vinyl records as a sonic and spiritual elixir to all the negativity that was going on. I feel like his music is another world, and one that we all benefit from! (Camille Miller, lyricist)
Our references for the claps in the verses but also the intertwining of the choruses in the choruses are a nod to soul, motown and the way David Bowie exploited the voices in his album "Young Americans". (Denis Expert, independent producer of DAMde8).
Dan Burkhart, the arranger, co-composer and sound engineer has brought a technicality here that creates what we consider a total fusion with the lyrics of the song (DAMde8).

lyrics

Outside outcast
Trying to make a breakthrough
An invisible line keeping me from you
Thereʼs a better me waiting on the other side
Counting down the minutes
The minutes
Fifteen paces to my record player
Rifle through the vinyl bring my my salvation
A sonic elixyr a heavenly touch
The outer world voice
The outer world voice of ziggy stardust
The spiders from mars

You
In the outer world there are no lines
Can taste
To be crossed
Fruit that is forbidden
Fallen angels free
You can touch
No fear, no mistrust
The heavenly bodies
No bullies to oppress
Ziggy stardust
You can breathe
No puppets to outrage
Freedom and sensuality
You are
Mystical musical maze
Beautiful

How long dazed and fraying at the edges
Invisible lines keep us climbing up our cages
Counting down the minutes
Fifteen paces to my record player
Rifle through the vinyl bring my my salvation
A sonic elixyr of angels we trust
The outer world voice
The outer world voice of ziggy stardust
The spiders from mars
Outer world voice of ziggy stardust

You
In the outer world there are no lines
Can taste
To be crossed
Fruit that is forbidden
Fallen angels free
You can touch
No fear, no mistrust
The heavenly bodies
No bullies to oppress
Ziggy stardust
You can breathe
No puppets to outrage
Freedom and sensuality
You are
Mystical musical maze
Beautiful

Beautiful
Let it all fall down
Smash the ceiling
Let it all fall down
All the rules are meant to be broken
Let the lovers dance
Let the lovers dance
Smash the ceiling
Let it all fall down
All the rules are meant to be broken
Let the lovers dance
Beautiful
