Subterraneans
"Subterraneans" is a song by David Bowie, the closing track of his 1977 album ''Low''. "Subterraneans" is mostly instrumental, with brief, obscure lyrics sung near the song's end.
"Subterraneans" was meant to invoke the misery of those in East Berlin during the Cold War. According to Bowie, people who "got caught in East Berlin after the separation - hence the faint jazz saxophones representing the memory of what it was."〔(Griffin, R. "Low." Bowie Golden Years (Jan). 2005 ) retrieved 12 June 2007〕
== Musical characteristics ==
Together with "Ian Fish, U.K. Heir" and "The Mysteries" from ''The Buddha of Suburbia'', this song is among Bowie's most subdued and ambient. "Subterraneans" was ultimately the most heavily edited song on ''Low'', with the reversed instrument sounds, saxophone, and multilayered synthesizers from Brian Eno which float underneath a moaned vocal that is wordless until about the final ninety seconds. The synthesiser melody is identical to a motif from Edward Elgar's "Nimrod", the 9th ''Enigma Variation''.
The piece was rumoured to be originally intended for use in the soundtrack to the film ''The Man Who Fell to Earth'', in which Bowie played the lead role. Though this rumour was false, the reversed track used as the bassline in this piece was actually the only remaining intact part of the film soundtrack that Bowie used on the ''Low'' album.
