Help[Opinions] Re: Cygnet
in reply to a message by Silvie
The song is on Space Oddity, widely regarded as his first album. (His real first album is a steaming pile and, at least in my house, we pretend that it doesn't exist, lol.) Space Oddity is an amazing album and if you don't own it, you should--you may do as I did and fall in love with Janine and Hermione. ;) (Janine, I love enough to use. Hermione, not so much. But "Janine" and "Letter to Hermione" are both great songs.) Thanks to it, I also love Freecloud, lol.
...Just, trust me. Buy yourself a copy of it. No David Bowie fan is complete without the song "Memory of a Free Festival."
I really like Zelda Cygnet--the way it looks is really cool! Veronica and Rosemary both sound lovely with it, too, but I've gone off Rosemary a bit lately. (I think it's because it's been popping up here a lot, alas.) Eliza is one that I have horrible associations with, unfortunately. And Ophelia...well, on the one hand, I adore it. On the other hand, I adore it most for other peoples' kids, I think. :)
Thanks for the thoughts and the ideas!

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

I think I'll definitely get that album. I am, unfortunately, penniless at the moment--but I'm sure one of my parents would be willing to pay for it. :) I fully expect to fall in love with those names, too, as I have a severe tendency to instantly love any name I hear from a favorite artist (or read from a favorite author, for that matter). It just seems to make them amazingly appealing all of the sudden. I already like Hermione as it is, and Janine is rather pretty.
I'm glad you like Zelda Cygnet. I think that's my favorite of the suggestions I made, coming just before Rosemary and Eliza. It's a shame you have such bad associations with the latter name. Ah, well, I suppose it can't be helped.
