"Sound and Vision" by @chai_monster_productions

The TPP 2025 brief of "Sound and Vision" could only mean one thing to this Bowie fan : a tribute to his 1977 song of the same name. Taken from the musician's eleventh album, 'Low' the upbeat music truly belies the lyrics, which were written whilst Bowie was trying to kick his drug addiction.

Described by the artist as his "ultimate retreat song ", when you listen to his words against this context they have an altogether darker meaning, alluding to the creative block in which Bowie's mental state was confirming him:

Don't you wonder sometimes

About sound and vision?

Blue, blue, electric blue

That's the colour of my room

Where I will live

Blue, blue

Pale blinds drawn all day

Nothing to do, nothing to say

Blue , blue

I will sit right down

Waiting for the gift of sound and vision

And I will sing

Waiting for the gift of sound and vision

Drifting into my solitude

Over my head

Don't you wonder sometimes

About sound and vision?
