about this song
"Subterraneans" is a song by David Bowie from his album Low (1977). "Subterraneans" is mostly instrumental, with brief, obscure lyrics sung near the song's end. The final song of Low, "Subterraneans" was meant to invoke the misery of those in East Berlin during the Cold War. "Subterraneans" was ultimately the most heavily edited song on Low, with the reversed instrument sounds, saxophone, and multilayered synthesizers from Brian Eno which float underneath a moaned vocal that is worldless until about the final ninety seconds.
