The Wedding SongDavid Bowie

Released: April 5, 1993

Songwriter: David Bowie

Producer: Nile Rodgers David Bowie

[Chorus]
These are silver wings
These are golden eyes
These are floating clouds
Angel for life

[Bridge]
Dreaming alone and I feel that someone
Listens to me
Angel for life

[Chorus]
These are silver wings
These are golden eyes
These are floating clouds
Angel for life

[Verse]
Heaven is smiling down, heaven's girl in a wedding gown
I'm going to be so good, just like a good boy should
I'm going to change my ways
Angel for life
Of all the saints alive
Don't I feel like a saint alive
She's not mine for eternity
Though I'll never fly so high
I'm smiling

[Outro]
I believe in magic
Angel for life

David Bowie

David Bowie (1947 – 2016) was a British musician, and one of the most iconic rock stars with a widely diverse career where he frequently changed his appearance and musical style, resulting in an acclaimed discography comparable to other stalwarts such as The Beatles and Bob Dylan. Born David Robert Jones, Bowie quickly renamed himself to prevent confusion with The Monkees singer Davy Jones. Enduring many early missteps, he rose to prominence when his most famous song, “Space Oddity,” was played during the coverage of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Despite this early breakthrough, Bowie remained a cult figure for several years. Even the release of Hunky Dory, his first great album, went largely unnoticed. Bowie only lodged himself firmly in the public consciousness when he announced his bisexuality and created Ziggy Stardust in early 1972. A Martian who combined the debauchery of Iggy Pop with the artistry of Lou Reed, Ziggy was the main character in Bowie’s breakthrough album, and his public persona for eighteen months.

Bowie used his new-found popularity to move to America, and dabble with new musical directions and cocaine. Diamond Dogs and Young Americans continue to divide critics, but Station To Station found Bowie at a new creative peak, despite escalating drug use and related health issues.
