“Wild is the Wind” by Dimitri Tiomkin (David Bowie) – SteemitCentral Lyrics Challenge – Day 49 / 60
“We're like creatures of the wind, And wild is the wind”
song ~ “Wild is the Wind”
artist ~ David Bowie
Love me, love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind, and wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
Give me more than one caress, satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your heart
For wild is the wind, wild is the wind
I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
You're spring to me, all things to me
Don't you know, you're life itself!
Like the leaf clings to the tree
Oh, my darling, cling to me
For we're like creatures of the wind, and wild is the wind

Comments
With lyrics written by the film composer Dimitri Tiomkin for the 1957 film “Wild is the Wind,” this wonderful love song has been covered and improved on by numerous artists.
Tender Wind
The original version, sung by Johnny Mathis, was nominated for an Academy Award, and Mathis even sang it at the 1958 Oscars ceremony.
Since then, a wide range of artists have recorded their own versions of this tender and beautiful tune – from Nina Simone to Barbara Streisand, from George Michael to Esperanza Spalding.
B & W & Grey
Simone’s is one of the better known versions. After having met her, David Bowie recorded this version for his 1976 album “Station to Station.” Well known for his superb vocal abilities, Bowie showcased them wonderfully in this earnest and heartfelt rendition.
And in the video, the soothing atmosphere of the song was enhanced by the unobtrusive black and white – and by the various shades of soft, warm grey. Note – Bowie performed this song during his final live stage appearance, in New York City in 2006. (Image source)

There are red little children, blue little children, green little children, little children of various colors...
we are gathered together,
there is a big brother Teach us, teach us how to Permutations,
different arrangements have different Permutations,
big brother said : that as long as we learned these rules, we can go out to play...
Look them , and envious / admiration those children rushing out to play....
I always hope that I can go out and play...
so as, One day again one day, one day one day past.
different little children rushing out to play and joined many other little friends...
One day, I finally qualified, I can finally go out!
We Rushing out square.
