The Bewlay Brothers
"The Bewlay Brothers" is a song written by David Bowie in 1971 for the album ''Hunky Dory''. One of the last tracks to be written and recorded for the LP, the ballad has been described as "probably Bowie's densest and most impenetrable song".〔Roy Carr & Charles Shaar Murray (1981). ''Bowie: An Illustrated Record'': p.41〕 Bowie himself supposedly told producer Ken Scott that it was a track for the American market, because "the Americans always like to read things into things", even though the lyrics "make absolutely no sense".〔David Buckley (1999). ''Strange Fascination - David Bowie: The Definitive Story'': pp.114-115〕 Reflecting on the song in 2008, Bowie wrote "I wouldn't know how to interpret the lyric of this song other than suggesting that there are layers of ghosts within it. It's a palimpsest, then."〔David Bowie (2008). ("DAVID BOWIE: I went to buy some shoes - and I came back with Life On Mars" ), ''The Daily Mail'', 28 June 2008. Retrieved on 11 July 2008.〕
Bowie named his publishing company in the late 1970s Bewlay Bros. Music and used the name as a pseudonym for himself, Iggy Pop and Colin Thurston as producers of Pop's 1977 album ''Lust for Life''.
The song was performed live for the first time on BBC Radio 2 in 2002.
==Reception==
Some commentators have also seen references in the song to Bowie's half-brother Terry, a schizophrenic, while others such as Tom Robinson have discerned a "gay agenda".〔Nicholas Pegg (2000). ''The Complete David Bowie'': p.37〕 The coda features Bowie's voice distorted by varispeeding; ''NME'' critics Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray likened the effect to the Laughing Gnome, but "in considerably more sinister guise".〔
