"Blackout" is a song written and recorded by David Bowie in 1977 for the album "Heroes". Author Nicholas Pegg described the track as "typical of the darkly exhilarating sonic schizophrenia of the "Heroes" album”,[1] while biographer David Buckley remarked on "a backing verging on industrial".[2]

Regarding its lyrics and subject matter, Bowie himself has claimed that "Blackout did indeed refer to power cuts".[3] However NMEs Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray considered it to have "overtones of Bowie's personal blackout in Berlin (where he collapsed and was rushed to hospital)",[4] noting the line "Get me to the doctor’s" and an atmosphere of "disorientation, fragmentation, panic".[4] Nicholas Pegg surmised that, by the same token, the line "Someone's back in town, the chips are down" may have referred to his wife Angie, who had just arrived in Berlin around the same time.[1]

Live versions

A concert performance recorded in the spring of 1978 was released on Bowie's second live album, Stage. This version was also released as a single by RCA in Japan in November 1978, backed with "Soul Love" from the same series of concerts.

A summer 1978 performance was included on the live album Welcome to the Blackout, released in 2018. Bowie's introduction of the song to the audience gave the 2018 album its title.
