"White Ash Crowds" 是由David Bowie在1977年發行的歌曲,歌詞如下:
White ash crowds, in the old mill yard
With their blackened faces and their red-stained hair
In the gloom of the great, old-fashioned room
They play their songs, they play their songs
White ash crowds, they're all around me
In the dark and dirty alleys of my mind
And I hear their voices, I hear their cries
As they play their songs, as they play their songs
White ash crowds, they're all around me
In the light of the street lamps and the neon signs
And I hear their laughter, I hear their cries
As they play their songs, as they play their songs
White ash crowds, they're all around me
In the cold and empty streets of the city
And I hear their laughter, I hear their cries
As they play their songs, as they play their songs
在這首歌中,David Bowie描述了一群白梣木工人,他們在舊碾米廠的聚會中演奏歌曲。他們的臉色黝黑,紅髮亂舞,他們在昏暗的古老房間中演奏他們的歌曲。他聽到他們的呼喊和笑聲,他們的悲傷和狂喜。這是一首充滿情感和強烈音樂性的歌曲,是David Bowie的代表作之一。
