"Contrary to the other comments, I see this as where Bowie starts to get himself together again after the failures that were Tonight, Never Let Me Down and Tin Machine. It's not particularly good, but at least it's better than what he had been doing at the time."  Reply

"Narcissus gave up all hope. "I'm incapable of love", sadly that seems to be the point, but the music plays well crafted and the voice still holds a reminder of the days when it sung about nothing but love (or maybe the struggle to be loved)."  Reply
