Itâs unknown if Bowie originally had a womanâs voice in mind for the song, but by the time Lazarus was cast in summer 2015, he wanted a young female singer for it.

Distortion for electric guitar is first used by Lowman Pauling of The “5” Royales and a primitive form of fuzz bass is found on some of their records of this time as well. ), Sparse in its harmonic structure—the verses often hold on a B-flat major seventh chord, with a few feints, like a move to F# (âIâm lostâ ânowhere nowâ); the refrains move to E-flat minor, now with shifts to F major (âwithout a planâ âhere I amâ)ââNo Planâ is also subtly clever in its construction, having a five-bar verse that Bowie later extends. Probably everyone has heard about this song, but not all know that the album was a failure when it came out. So thatâs how I got thereâusing other peopleâs brains and knowledge!
