His career was marked by reinvention and visual presentation, with his music and stagecraft significantly influencing popular music.
Golden Years – The Song
Golden Years is is a song by the English musician David Bowie, released by RCA Records in 1975 as the lead single from his tenth studio album Station to Station (1976). Partially written before Bowie began shooting for the film The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976), the song was mostly compiled in the studio and was the first track completed for the album. Co-produced by Bowie and Harry Maslin, recording took place at Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles during September 1975. Due to Bowie’s heavy cocaine use, he later recalled remembering almost nothing of Station to Station’s production.Musically, “Golden Years” is a funk and disco song that is reminiscent of the music on Bowie’s previous album, Young Americans (1975), particularly “Fame”, but with a harsher, grinding edge. The song utilises elements of several 1950s doo-wop tracks in its arrangement. Lyrically, the narrator offers a companion hope of entering a limousine and being isolated from the outside world. In other words, he assures his companion that she will always be protected by him and promises her a brighter future.
