It’s not often that I can pinpoint the exact moment that inspired a song that I wrote, but with this song I can.
The ever magnificent Dublin Bowie Festival was taking place earlier this year in the second week of January. It’s always an inspiring week. Anyway, on Saturday 11 January, the band Holy Holy played in Dublin’s Olympia Theatre.
Holy Holy is a band whose members include Tony Visconti (longtime Bowie producer) and Woody Woodmansey (Bowie’s drummer for many of his classic albums). They play Bowie tunes and, as it was the fiftieth anniversary of The Man Who Sold The World, they started the gig by playing that album in its entirety.
The album begins with a song called, “The Width of a Circle”. The band played a frankly astonishing version of the song and, when the song ended, the audience let out a deafening roar of adoration that was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced at a gig – especially for one in which the artist wasn’t even present. The outpouring of unbridled love for Bowie’s music was profoundly moving.
It was at that exact moment that the idea that would become “We’re Listening to David Bowie” was born.
The song is, in my own insignificant way, a way of expressing how I (and I try to imagine other fans) feel about loss. It’s a song about death, grief, and remembering someone after they’re gone. The outpouring of love from fellow Bowie fans who’ve now heard the song has been really wonderful. It was made for them.
Huge thanks go to Holy Holy, John Brereton, and all at the Dublin Bowie Festival.
A few Bowie fans have reached out to me and have asked if I can post a version of the video for my new single that doesn’t include the radio announcement at the beginning.
They’ve said they like the song but found it difficult to be reminded of the day he died …especially if they want to watch the video more than once.
So, whilst it was very, very important to me to include the announcement – as the song is about his death; my own feelings about it; and the ultimate realisation that he lives on forever through his music and through us – I also obviously understand their point of view, so here it is minus the announcement.
(The other version is still available on YouTube if anyone does want to watch that video.)

I hope you love it. If you do, please share it with your friends!
Here’s the video:
“We’re Listening to David Bowie” is taken from my new album “Vibrating at the Speed of Light”, which will be released on Friday 15 May.
My new single is released tomorrow! I’m so excited!
It’ll be available worldwide on all streaming platforms. You’ll also be able to download it from places like iTunes, if that’s more your thing.
I can’t wait to share it with you!
