"The Hearts Filthy Lesson" is a song by David Bowie, from his 1995 album ''Outside'', and issued as a single ahead of the album. It showcased Bowie's new, industrial-influenced sound. The lack of an apostrophe in the title is deliberate. Lyrically, the single connects with the rest of the album, with Bowie offering a lament to "tyrannical futurist" Ramona A.

An immediate favourite at Bowie's live concerts, "The Hearts Filthy Lesson" had its cult status sealed when featured over the closing titles of David Fincher's 1995 film ''Se7en'', a film which mirrored the video's grimy visuals. The single contained an "Alt.

The clip was directed by Samuel Bayer, the man behind Nirvana's classic "Smells Like Teen Spirit" video. In interviews, Bowie commented on the "ritual art" aspects of ''Outside:'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Hearts Filthy Lesson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
