David Bowie – The Artist
David Robert Jones (8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016), known professionally as David Bowie was an English singer, songwriter and actor who is often considered to be one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. He was a leading figure in popular music and was acclaimed by critics and fellow musicians for his innovative work, particularly for his work during the 1970s. His career was marked by reinvention and visual presentation, with his music and stagecraft significantly influencing popular music.
Be My Wife – The Song
“Be My Wife” is a song by English musician David Bowie from the 1977 album Low. It was released as the second single of the album on 17 June 1977. “Be My Wife” became the first new Bowie release since “Changes” to fail to break into the UK chart. The song reached number 57, at that time the official list only compiled the top 50 positions, but it appeared on Breakers for 2 weeks. It was frequently played live on the various tours after its release and Bowie is said to have repeatedly announced this song during live performances as “one of my favourites,” as may be seen or heard in such concert footage or audio recordings. Its presence in Low tones down the electronic feel of the rest of the album. The song also features a more conventional lyric which is closer to a traditional rock song than the more fragmented lyrics elsewhere on that album. The song features a ragtime piano opening, which serves the somewhat retro lyrics some justice, although it is soon set against a backdrop of guitars and drums.
The Wife – The Shape
This record has been modelled into a typical traditional housewife dressed in the fifties. A tradwife (a neologism for traditional wife or traditional housewife) typically denotes a woman who believes in and practices traditional gender roles and marriages. Some may choose to take a homemaking role within their marriage, or to leave their careers to focus instead on meeting their family’s needs in the home.
