Black and white rainy piece of love glass - "Letter to Hermione" David Bowie


"Letter to Hermione" David Bowie

I heard this song on a Ricky Gervais podcast; it's one of his favorites of all time. I've never heard a Bowie song like this. This song makes me feel like I'm in a vintage black and white movie, sadly walking down a rainy sidewalk, a broken-hearted man peering out of a rain splattered cafe window. This song is pretty and sad, simple and rich, short but powerful. I don't have a lot of favorite "love songs"; I think this made the cut.

When to play it: A grey rainy afternoon.

How you'll move: I don't think you will; eyes-closed sing-a-long only.

Side note: I think the length and content of this post is relative to the song. This song is a track on "Space Oddity."
