Annie Lennox (Eurythmics) and David Bowie rehearse Under Pressure before The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert.

Always wanted to learn how to play the Bass Guitar - this is definitely a classic song for budding bass players (see here), and for me (in particular), Ceremony by New Order and Afterglow by INXS. Did a lot of reading up on the Bass Guitar during Jenny's last stay in the Hospital. She encouraged me to give it a try. Maybe one day ..

Thought about this song last night when we talked about the "Wandering Mind" and "Pressure" during racing at our Outrigger Catch Up Dinner. Hopefully will find some time to put up some good links/quotes that I have on the topic.

Have to admit I have always had a bit of a school boy crush on Annie Lennox from her days in the late 70's band, The Tourists. In this tribute performance she looks remarkably like Natalie Portman in her role as Nina in Black Swan.

Under Pressure - Lyrics

Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure - that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on street

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets

Chippin' around - kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
People on streets - people on streets

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets

Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn

Why - why - why
Love

Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love
Cos love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the light
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

Was shown on Channel 7 a few weeks before the 2004 Athens Olypmics. Was happy to find this as I lost my recording on a failed hard disk.

We can be Heroes - David Bowie and Friends (Live Aid - Wembley - 13 Jul 1985)

Remember watching this live and even remember Bowie's dedication to his Son and the Children of the World. This version of Heroes is very light and a lot of fun to watch and listen to - my favourite.
