According to Bowie, this song was directly inspired by a kiss he witnessed next to the Berlin Wall. The song is about two lovers, one from East Berlin and one from West Berlin, dreaming of freedom.
I never knew that about this song, makes sense, great song, an absolute classic..
Savatage were new to me, enjoyed that tune now I must say, I'll have to check out the album..
Video game music is given jazz versions a surprisingly amount of the time. I'm not sure exactly why this is. Jazz is pretty popular in Japan and most console video games come from Japan, so that could be a reason. Whatever the reason may be, I love jazz and my son loves listening to video game music, so it's a good combination for us.
More interesting knowledge and cool that you and your son can both appreciate the same music for different reasons.
Glad you enjoyed my picks and trivia! 😃
