Modern Love
David Bowie · Let's dance
I wont stay in
Get things done
I catch a paper boy
But things don't really change
I'm standing in the wind
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try, I try
There's no sign of life
It's just the power to charm
I'm lying in the rain
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try, I try
Never gonna fall for
Modern love - walks beside me
Modern love - walks on by
Modern love - gets me to the church on time
Church on time - terrifies me
Church on time - makes me party
Church on time - puts my trust in god and man
God and man - no confessions
God and man - no religion
God and man - don't believe in modern love
It's not really work
It's just the power to charm
I'm still standing in the wind
But I never wave bye bye
But I try, I try
Never gonna fall for
Modern love - walks beside me
Modern love - walks on by
Modern love - gets me to the church on time
Church on time - terrifies me
Church on time - makes me party
Church on time - puts my trust in god and man
God and man - no confessions
God and man - no religion
God and man - don't believe in modern love
Modern love - walks beside me
Modern love - walks on by
Modern love - gets me to the church on time
Church on time - terrifies me
Church on time - makes me party
Church on time - puts my trust in god and man
God and man - no confessions
God and man - no religion
God and man - I don't believe in modern love
Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love
Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love
Modern love - Modern love, walks beside me
Modern love - Modern love, walks on by
Modern love - Modern love, walks beside me
Modern love - Modern love, walks on by
Never gonna fall for
Never gonna fall for
Modern Love
Modern Love stands as a vibrant centerpiece of David Bowie's 1983 album, Let's Dance. Marking a significant shift toward a more accessible pop and dance-oriented sound, the track showcases the artist's ability to blend rock energy with rhythmic sophistication. Produced during a period of immense commercial success, the recording captures Bowie's dynamic vocal delivery and the era's polished production values. The song remains a defining moment in his discography, reflecting the confidence and theatricality that characterized his mid-eighties work. As part of a celebrated body of recordings, it highlights the artist's enduring influence on popular music and his capacity to craft anthems that resonate across generations without relying on specific lyrical references.
