It's the Hearts Filthy Lesson, Tell the others...
The Hearts Filthy Lesson was perhaps the bravest of David Bowie's single releases, taken out of context as it was from the 1. Outside album, which would follow a couple of weeks later.
Seemingly uncommercial, the song peaked at #35 on the UK singles chart, the exact same position his previous chart entry, The Buddha Of Suburbia, managed almost two years earlier.
However, the song wormed it's way further into the public's hearts and brains via the end credits of the harrowing film, Seven.
The Samuel Bayer directed promotional video for The Hearts Filthy Lesson was as equally macabre and menacing as Seven in some ways. But despite this it remains, for my money at least, among the very best and most beautiful Bowie videos of all time.
Combined with the hugely successful Outside World Tour, (which kicked of in Hartford in the US with NIN a few days later on September 14th, 1995) the new direction the Outside recordings took David Bowie in created a whole new army of fans, while shaking off a few of the more faint-hearted members of the "Phil Collins' audience" Bowie had attracted during the previous decade.
