About The Record:

Dead Man Walking, by David Bowie, was released as the third single from his album, Earthling. It was a top 40 hit in the UK, peaking at No. 32. Bowie described Dead Man Walking as his homage "to rock and roll that is still young while we are all growing old". As such, the lyrics reflect his thoughts on aging at this point in his career. The music is, in author James E. Perone's words, "largely conventional dance", featuring atonal piano, sequenced keyboards and electric guitar and containing elements of Latin dance music and jazz.
