Hopkin (Backing Vocals), Roy Young (Piano) STORY. The story behind ‘Sound and Vision’ With Bowie’s Low album receiving a less than favourable reception from his record company RCA, they were placated by the success of ‘Sound and Vision’, its first single. It reached number 3 in the United Kingdom to become Bowie’s biggest hit, reissues excepted, since ‘Sorrow’ in 1973. Bowie and co-producer Tony Visconti originally recorded the track as an instrumental, bar the backing vocal performed by Visconti’s wife, Mary (formerly Mary Hopkin of ‘Those Were The Days’ renown). In common with the rest of Low, Bowie then recorded his vocal after the rest of the band had left the studio, before trimming verses off the lyric, and leaving a relatively lengthy instrumental intro on the finished song. Mary Visconti was visiting the Château d’Hérouville with the couple’s young children, Delaney and Jessica, when she was asked to make her contribution to the song. “Iggy Pop was also visiting at the time, so it was a lovely, congenial atmosphere,” Mary recalled in 2011. “One evening, Brian called me into the studio to sing a quick backing vocal with him on ‘Sound And Vision’. We sang his cute little ‘doo doo’ riff in unison. It was meant to be a distant echo but, when David heard it, he pushed up the fader until it became a prominent vocal – much to my embarrassment, as I thought it very twee. I love the song and I’m a great admirer of David’s work.” In 2003 Bowie described ‘Sound And Vision’ as “a very sad song for me … I was trying very hard to drag myself out of an awful period of my life. I was locked in a room in Berlin telling myself I was going to straighten up and not do drugs anymore. I was never going to drink again. Only some of it proved to be the case. It was the first time I knew I was killing myself and time to do something about my physical condition.” Released in February 1977, the lengthy intro of ‘Sound And Vision’ was used by BBC television to back its programme trailers. This exposure that helped boost sales of the single, which Bowie himself did nothing to promote. Despite no video, Top Of The Pops appearance or even so much as an interview, ‘Sound And Vision’ became a huge hit – at least in the UK. It proved too much for the American singles market, only managing number 69 and signalling the end of Bowie’s short commercial honeymoon in the US until ‘Let’s Dance‘ in 1983. Bowie’s original was among the tracks heard in the 1993 BBC serial The Buddha Of Suburbia, and on BBC Radio 4 in May 2015, cyclist Bradley Wiggins chose ‘Sound And Vision’ as one of his Desert Island Discs. Alternative versions. In an unusual experiment, a 12” promo issued in America in 1977 featured a seven-minute remix consisting of ‘Sound And Vision’ segueing into Iggy Pop’s ‘Sister Midnight’. The 1991 reissue of the album Low came with a bonus remix by David Richards which allowed an unpleasant honking saxophone to disrupt the original’s textured atmospherics. In the same year this version and two further remixes appeared on an American single by 808 State; credited to “David Bowie vs 808 State”, these were released on a download EP in 2010. October 2013 brought another download, this time of a stripped-back remix created by Sonjay Prabhakar for a Sony smartphone commercial. ‘Sound And Vision 2013’, as it was called, was otherwise available only on a CD-R promo. Live performances. Despite being the biggest commercial hit of any of the singles released from the Berlin trilogy albums, ‘Sound And Vision’ received only one performance on the Stage tour, at Earls Court on 1 July 1978; this one-off rendition later appeared on RarestOneBowie. The song was later revived for the Sound + Vision, Heathen and A Reality tours, while an excerpt of the original studio recording was featured in the stage show Lazarus. Cover versions. Among the artists who have covered ‘Sound And Vision’ are Franz Ferdinand, The Sea And Cake, Anna Calvi and Beck. WATCH. Live performances of ‘Sound and Vision’ Live on the Sound+Vision Tour.

While a hospitalera in Grañón in 2012 we welcomed an Israeli couple that was spending their honeymoon on the Camino. We gave them the choir balcony to sleep in. My inner voice says that maybe it is even better to walk the Camino before you get married and in fact some couples I've met have actually done that. Chemicals Lyrics.

I f you google “wedding planning” or walk into a bookstore, you’ll find ample resources on how to plan a wedding. There are resources for small weddings, big weddings, destination weddings, theme weddings—you name it, someone has probably written about it. (Some of the information is better/less sexist than others, but you know… it’s there.) When I was planning my own wedding, I was thankful that there was so much information available. When I needed help setting an initial budget, or finding vendors, or getting ideas for decor, I could do my research and find some information that helped. What wasn’t available was information on planning our honeymoon… particularly planning our honeymoon on a budget. Most of the information that I could find generally involved glossy lists of top ten destinations or advertisements for specific resorts. Sure, it’s nice to have ideas on where to go, but I was looking for more information. Should we take our honeymoon right after the wedding or later? How do we get the best deal? How do we even figure out what type of honeymoon we want? And how the hell do we pay for a big trip while we’re also paying for our wedding? We really had no clue, so we had to just wing it. I’m a mega researcher, so I spent weeks looking at every resort in the Caribbean, Central America, and Hawaii, comparing prices and reading reviews. We knew that we wanted to take a trip right after our wedding, but deals are few and far between during Spring Break season. After a lot of conversation and reviews from friends, we decided to do a mini-moon right after our wedding and a longer trip a few months after our wedding. A random browsing of LivingSocial led us to a fantastic deal on a New Orleans B&B for our mini-moon, where we spent three days immediately after our wedding. After much research, a colleague’s rave reviews for Sandals in St. Lucia led us to book a week at Sandals Halcyon Beach. Looking back, we absolutely made the right honeymoon choices for us—we got a chance to relax after the wedding, found some great deals, and had a great time on both trips. But the stress of planning took some of the joy out of it. A few months ago, we hosted an open thread where we discussed all things honeymoon related.
