The Prettiest Star

     The Prettiest Star è una delle canzoni di David Bowie che mi piace di più. Scritta alla fine del 1969 e pubblicata nel 1970, pare fosse dedicata alla sua futura moglie. Non è una delle sue canzoni più note e non ha un significato particolare per me, ma mi piacciono le sue atmosfere, che sicuramente taluni giudicheranno eccessivamente romantiche.

Cold fire, you've got everything but cold fire
You will be my rest and peace child
I moved up to take a place, near you

So tired, it's the sky that makes you feel tried
It's a trick to make you see wide
It can all but break your heart, in pieces

Staying back in your memory
Are the movies in the past
How you moved is all it takes
To sing a song of when I loved
The prettiest star

One day though it might as well be someday
You and I will rise up all the way
All because of what you are
The prettiest star

Staying back in your memory
Are the movies in the pastHow you moved is all it takes
To sing a song of when I loved
Prettiest star

One day though it might as well be someday
You and I will rise up all the way
All because of what you are
The prettiest star
