About Strangers When We Meet

"Strangers When We Meet" is a song by David Bowie, originally recorded for his 1993 album The Buddha of Suburbia. In 1995, Bowie re-recorded the song for his Outside album, and this version was edited and released as a single, paired with a reworked version of Bowie’s 1970 “The Man Who Sold the World”. While the new version of “The Man Who Sold the World” was billed as a "live version", it was actually a studio-recorded track, based on a reworked version of the song performed on the Outside Tour, and mixed by Brian Eno. Samuel Bayer’s video for the song shared some visual similarities with that for “The Hearts Filthy Lesson”, but was a more simple and placid affair set in a decaying artist's studio. Despite a live performance on Top of the Pops, the double A-side entered the UK charts at No. 39 before dropping away.
