According to Bowie’s Facebook page, the new song “acknowledges the shocking rawness of the First World War,” and is described by Bowie as, “If Vorticists wrote Rock Music it might have sounded like this.” The song is named after a John Ford play from the 1600s.
Bowie’s new album, Nothing Has Changed, is due out on November 18th and features new and unreleased music alongside a bevy of hits from his 50-year career.
