Talk:Station to Station (song)

Untitled
Ian Mcdonald wrote a good essay about this song in his book 'The people's Music'. Perhaps a wiser wikipedia user than me can put a link or something to the essay, which I believe is called something like 'Black Magic, White Noise'. Pedantic perhaps but this is a key bowie track that deserves a longer article

In "Composition"
I wanted to point this out since it's bugged me for ages now, the opening riff is neither atonal nor 3 bars of 4/4 and one of 2/4, it's a pretty straightforward repeating riff in Am across 5 bars of 2/2. 92.40.216.123 (talk) 16:03, 28 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for bringing this up here. According to Chris O'Leary: "The intro is the same structure as the opening section: a 6/4 A minor measure (“here am I, flashing no color”) followed by a 4/4 measure over F and G (“tall in this room overlooking the oh-”) and back to 6/4 (“-cean”)." (I wrote this article before I got his book). So you're right in saying it's A minor but it's not in 2/2. I'll make some adjustments. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 20:37, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
